Model: Tapo C510W  
Hardware Version: V1
Firmware Version: 1.2.2

Ive got a very frustrating problem with my Tapo C510W.

Recently I bought 5x C510W cameras but one is making problem with the SD card.

Adding SD card and formatting the first time work ok however after some time (eg. next day) live feed works as normal but I cannot play back the recordings. It just keeps showing the progress circle but no recording loads in. When I tried to reformat with the camera then it goes up to 5% and formatting process stucks. I can't do a thing. Then app close, restart, cameara restart and there is no longer SD card recognized in the cam. SD card is a genuine brand new Kingston 128GB class 10. I thought the card is faulty. Then I tried one of my other 64GB SD card and the camera did exactly the thing. First initial fromatting worked ok but soon after playbacks are not available. Now I seem to have 2 faulty cards thanks to the new Tapo C510W. I don't want to try a third one.

I tried to have a look at the SD card and reformat it on Windows 10 with Rufus.

 

Error:

[0xC003045D] The request could not be performed because of an I/O device error.

Then I tried to have a look at it with DISKPART. Result:

 

DISKPART> attributes disk
Current Read-only State : Yes
Read-only  : No
Boot Disk  : No
Pagefile Disk  : No
Hibernation File Disk  : No
Crashdump Disk  : No
Clustered Disk  : No

Write protected

 

Im simply unable to format it with anything.

Hi,
1. What's the model number of the SD card with 64GB capacity?

 

2. Please refer to the instructions below to test the SD card with the H2testw tool and send me pictures of the test results.

Best Regards

64GB SD card is currently in the camera.
I tried to test the 128GB with H2TestW tool. It did not work. As soon as I browse the SD card the program wants to format it which cannot be. This is the very reason I opened this thread. So because H2TestW tool cannot format it either I throws an error "Error accessing target."

Hi, 
The camera's handling of SD cards is essentially the same as other devices' handling of SD cards, such as reading and writing SD cards on a PC. The SD card will also only be formatted, written, and read when working with the camera. The difference from other usage scenarios may be that the SD card is read and written more frequently when used in the camera, so we recommend using an endurance SD card on the camera.

 

For the reported case, please confirm: 
1. Please provide the purchase links for the two SD cards to check for more information about the SD card.
2. Has the 64GB SD card been used on other cameras(Tapo C510W)? If so, does it work fine?
3. Have you used the Tapo C510W outdoors? If yes, please check if the SD card slot is dry. If the SD card slot is flooded for some reason, such as the SD card cover does not close properly, it may cause the SD card to not work.


Best Regards
