Model: Tapo C310  
Hardware Version: V2
Firmware Version: 1.1.10

I've had my camera almost 6 months but today I've found I can't view any recorded video on it?? I get the error 'It looks like you've reached your device limit for playing this video Please again later'

 

Recordings are still not available so I'd really appreciate knowing what is causing this problem and how to fix it. The camera is only paired with one device, my phone, so there is no sharing conflict.

 

Any advice much appreciated

Hello everyone, 

Tapo APP allows only one device to view playback at the same time,  the message "you have reached your device limit for playing this video.' may occur when there is more than one device trying to view playback. 

  • Make sure only one device is viewing Playback at a time
  • reboot Tapo Camera : Tapo APP>Camera settings>reboot camera
  • You may also perform a factory reset on the camera and reinstall it from the APP.

Here is a related QA in Part3 :  Q3.3 Can multiple accounts/devices view the Tapo camera at the same time?

Please also ensure device firmware and tapo APP are both up to date

If this does not help, If you  use an SD card, please enable Diagnose mode for camera and help collect the log of camera and share the log file with us

@Solla-topee Hi, thanks for your reply.

 

I have never shared my account with anyone. This happens all the time now, I can no longer view any recordings at all. This happened suddenly on 29th Oct.  The camera is online and I can access live video through it on my phone. I'm getting sent detection notifications fine too, so that part of the process is working perfectly. My Tapo app is up to date and my phone is an iphone SE running iOS 11. The Tapo app supports iOS 9 and up. Here's a photo of the screen I get,

 

 

Thanks again for your help in this matter.

Hello @gizmo19900 thank you very much for providing more details!

Please try to reboot Tapo camera.

If reboot does not help, can you help collect the log of camera, please enable Diagnostic on camera, let camera run for certain time and wait the issue occurs, then share the log with us, thank you very much ! How to Get the Log of Tapo Camera? 

As the issue sounds unusual, we would like to have a specialist look into this further through email as well, please check your inbox later.
