@Biddut123  Hello, 

With camera powered on, press the reset button for more than 5 secs and see Led blinks Red. Wait for 2 mins and check if the system Led is flashing Red and Green. 

Or if Camera responds to factory reset with voice message like"  Reset was done ' 

 

If the system led is Solid Red, it could be a hardware issue on camera, may I know was there any firmware update failure/ power outage/thunder causing this problem? 

It is recommended to contact retailer or local support to check device warranty. 

Hope this could help.

@Jayr 

Good day.

Thank you very much for your time and patience.

May I know how long you have you had the camera and where are you located?

Have you tried to unplug the power adapter and plug it back, then reset it one more time to have a look?

Thanks a lot.

@Brook 

this one didn't help. Im using tapo c100. I have 2 c100 units in our house. The first one i bought works just fine. 

Last week I ordered a new one since I thought c100 is a good security camera. I have reset and rebooted the unit multiple times. reseated the power cord, and even plugging it to other outlet. The unit works in the first 1 hour but after that, the camera disconnects, it shows offline in the app, then the unit itself is stuck in red light. Please provide other steps on how to resolve this. Thanks!

@Manuelito 

Good day,

Sorry for the delay.

For your case, we would like to follow up on your case by email, and could you please help me check the following information:

1. What is the model number of your home router?

2. If trying to swap the location of the two cameras,  would it always be the same camera having this issue?

3.What need to do if you want to recover the connection, like rebooting the camera or the router?

4.If the smartphone connected to the same router’s Wi-Fi,  are you able to live-view and control the camera locally?

 

Thank you very much.

@Stevens 

 They have the worst customer support ever. I wont advise anyone to by their product. I live in Norway and they ask me to bring it to repair in Malaysia. When I asked to get it substituted at local shop, they said it is not possible. And they have no solution for this trouble, which means they are selling defective technology that relates to updating firmware. In other words they are selling product which is not ready for the commercial sells. It is like vaccinating people without trail and approval.

 

I copied the feedback I received beliw

@Kanchan_Rai  Hello, 
Sorry to hear that the customers service you have experienced is less than satisfactory. TP-Link doesn’t provide global warranty service and you can only get a replacement from the region where you purchase your product from. From the email it is possible that support mistook your country, it is recommended to reply their email with the correct country so they could help transfer to the right Service Center.

If you would like to review our warranty policy, you can find it on our website at this link
