TpLink tapo c200 camera got bricked after performing systematic firmware update from tapo app. 

Camera was working fine before the upgrade, after the upgrade only IR lights popup and nothing happens 

Indicator lights doesn't turn on at all. 

 

Tried factory reset and manual SD card update nothing helped visited bangalore authorised tp link service center, staff were very irresponsible and stated they cannot repair the product even though it was caused due to software update and refused for paid service as well. 

 

Can you please assist me with the steps to resolve this issue as the product is not working completely.

  @Tangindian it seems the camera is faulty, you may buy a new one if it's not under warranty...

Same problem here. Had problems with a dialog "you have been inactive for 5 minutes" popping up - making the device hard to use as a baby camera.

 

Foolishly hoping that the firmware update would solve stuff, I pressed the "Update" button. 

 

Alas... Tp-link insta-critted and left me petrified with 4 red lights.

 

Maybe they should post some warning or something, I don't know...
