Hello there.

 

I have 4 Tapo C310 cameras and all of them have the same problem. Setting video quality to 2k causes color distortions to images, while setting it to 1080p appears to be fine:

 

 

It has been like this for months. Technical support says "Images look fine" (literal response from them), which is really unprofessional and disappointing. Images are clearly NOT fine. Any suggestions?
Thank you.

The official Tapo app version 2.17.112 and newer versions have solved the problem, please update the Tapo app to the latest one if you encounter the same issue.

  @Solla-topee Hi there and thank you for your reply. Compatible mode actually worked just fine. Thank you very much for taking the time to help.

 

P.S. I tried the beta as well, but the issue appears to be the same.

  @aliasalberto 

Hi,
Glad to hear that your problem is solved~

 

The beta Tapo app you have tried may not be the one for this issue, and if changing to Compatible mode on the Tapo app works for your case, you can keep the settings.
We are releasing the new Tapo app that solves the problem gradually, and please keep your Tapo app up to date to manage your Tapo products and enjoy the new features.

 

Best Regards
