@Wayne-TP  Solution does not work Tappo C200, stuck showing 4 red LEDs (IR) and nothing else

  @Wayne-TP 

My camera is not working after latest update.

Camera is always on and it was not turn off during update.

The process above is not working and local support is not helping.

What can be done?

  @Solla-topee 

Will not work as well.

What tapo should do is warning not to update camera after warranty period. As their is no solution to fix it  if thing go wrong.

  @Wayne-TP 

I updated the firmware of the Tapo C200 V3 camera, and it has stopped working. Neither by pressing the reset button, nor in any way can I make it work.

Only the red light flashes continuously.

Any solution?

  @rubenobs 

Buy a new camera. Solutions given above do not work. And no new solutions not given.

  @666foad totally agree... post destructive upgrade the unit is now landfill - one way to try and get people to buy again...However what this has taught me is not buy tapo/kassa/tp-link products.

time to start looking for a replacement unless the company identifies a solution
