Model: Tapo C320WS

Hardware Version: V2

Firmware Version: 1.2.1 Built 240912

Hi,

i have a TP-LINK tapo c320ws camera purchased in April this year. It was working fine until now..after updating to new firmware picture became dark.

At night i can't see anything, at daylight picture is darker than usual, i can hardly see anything.

I tried hard reseting camera and re-adding to Tapo app but it's not helping.. any help would be appreciated.

Hi,
1. On the camera's Live View page, please set the Video Mode to Auto. Then check if the image at night time will be normal or not. Usually, the nighttime image is in black & white color.

2. When you take a picture of the camera's live view page in daylight, is the ambient light bright enough?
Best Regards
