Then when i reopened the app, the device is no longer paired and cannot be detected.
ive resetted 5 times, all same result.

What's the LED status of the camera after the configuration? Is it solid green? Or orange?
Try reloading or reopening Tapo App when your phone is connected to the same WiFi network as the camera. If the camera is visible in the local network but disappears when switching to a remote network (such as mobile data), check for router settings that might block the internet access for this camera. You may try to change the router DNS to 8.8.8.8 or 8.8.4.4.
For further testing, consider creating a guest WiFi or using a mobile hotspot to connect this Tapo C225.

The orange LED tells me the camera is now connected to the WiFi successfully, but it failed to connect to the cloud server (remote control unavailable).
This camera should be manageable in the local WiFi. Ensure your phone connects to the router WiFi and check if you can find the camera in the App.
For the remote control failure issue, take a look at the tips provided in this troubleshooting guide. What to do if I can't control my Tapo cameras on the Tapo app?
