Hello everyone,
If the Tapo C310 camera got a firmware update failure, make sure you have tried to factory reset the camera with the camera powered on, check camera still responds to a factory reset, or if the camera still broadcasts the Tapo_Cam _XXX default SSID, or if the LED flashes amber and green.
If the camera responds to a factory reset and has a flashing amber and green light, you can refer to the instructions below to reconfigure the camera.
How to set up the Tapo camera?
If a factory reset does not help, you can try the suggestions in the thread below.
What to do if my Tapo Camera gets bricked after a firmware update?
If the above steps do not help, please contact the retailer or local support to check the device warranty.
When contacting local support or retailer, you may attach 1. the problem description with device model and hardware version 2. Led status on camera 3. if there was any power outage 4. the proof of purchase and S/N, so they could deal with your case faster.
Best Regards

@SyedKazmi Agree this isn't a power issue during firmware update. I had a notification icon there was new firmware and clicked to apply the update. The camera started the process and then went offline, I presume to reboot after applying the update, but is now showing a solid red LED and IR. I'm going to go up a ladder tomorrow to hard reset, but by the other reports the firmware update process has bricked the camera which is a manufacturer issue and I'll be demanding a full refund from the retailer as the device is not fit for purpose and faulty.

Tried resetting the camera and also reloading firmware from an sdcard, but nothing worked and it just has the solid red LED so I'm having to take back to the retailer and demand a replacement. Not great.
