If you are encountering any recording issues, please review the troubleshooting steps below:

  1. Ensure Local Recording is enabled, Local Storage Location is selected and Recording Schedule is set correctly under Tapo app > camera Device Settings > Storage & Recording page.

    2. If only Detection Recording is enabled in Recording Schedule, ensure that detection settings are correctly enabled: How to Enable Detection Feature on Tapo and Kasa Cameras and Doorbells

    3. For SD Card Recording, ensure SD card status is Good and is in the compatibility list of microSD cards we’ve tested: microSD Card Compatibility for Tapo and Kasa Security Cameras

 

If the problem persists, please send me some screenshot of the playback list, the SD card settings page, and the detection settings page.

  @BT4455 have recordings been happening previously on this micro SD card or is this a new card?

 

Have you formatted the card via the Tapo app?

Thank you for your update. Glad to hear that the SD card recording is working well now.laugh

Looking back, the problem probably had something to do with the SD card.
