Hi, 
The Tapo cameras support digital zoom, which means when you zoom the image, the camera crops a portion of the image and then enlarges it back to size. In so doing, you lose image quality.
You can go to the Tapo app > Camera's Device Settings > Video & Display > Video Quality page, select the highest video quality, and check if the quality of the recorded video will be better.
Best Regards
