Model: Tapo C425  
Hardware Version:
Firmware Version:

My c425 randomly decided to not connect to the app. After a few minutes, I tried to turn it off but it would not power down. I assumed it didn't turn off because it was recording. I tried to press and hold the power button for 5+ seconds, but it kept recording. I removed it from my app and and tried to reset it but the alarm went off. It will still not power off or reset and it won't connect to the app The alarm is still active and goes off when moved. What can be done to remedy this?

Hi, 
Typically, you can press the power button for three seconds to power on/off the Tapo C425, and you can press and hold the reset button for more than 5 seconds to factory reset it.

If your operations are correct but the camera does not respond, you can contact our technical support for further assistance.
Best Regards
