Model: Tapo C425  
Hardware Version: V1
Firmware Version: 1.2.18

I live in the UK. I've had this camera a few weeks now. It seems to have problems detecting motion. Sometimes it will not detect motion unless I'm actually in the App watching. I've noticed looking online that there are firmware updates that seem to help with this and other issues. When i ask the camera to check for firmware updates it says it's up to date! Tried this on auto update as well over the last few weeks, but it always says it's up to date!

 

Is there a way to manually update the camera?

 

Any help appreciated.

Is your Tapo C425 V1.0 or V1.20? For V1.20, the latest firmware is 1.2.18 Build 240430. Firmware Release Note - Tapo C425 V1.20 - UK

 

As a battery camera, its detection mechanism is a bit different from the AC-powered cameras. Detection starts after the camera is woken up. Camera's installation angle will also affect the detection function.
