Model: Tapo C510W

Hardware Version: V1

Firmware Version: V1.1.2

My camera won't show sd card recording and I get a prompt message asking for it to be initialised. I've had the camera 1 month working perfect I was able to watch playbacks. Today it's stopped working. I have 2 of the same cameras outdoor and both stopped recording or having the same problem. I have 2 indoor cameras using the same sd card 128gb samsung sd card and they working fine.

I don't want to get ladders out if I don't need too. Can anyone help?

Hi,
On the Tapo C510W's Device Settings>Storage & Recording>microSD Card page, is the Loop Recording feature enabled? If not, please enable it for a try.
What's the model number of the Samsung microSD card inserted into the camera?
Best Regards
