Tapo C100 shows no SD card inserted
This thread has been locked for further replies. You can start a new thread to share your ideas or ask questions.
I formatted card to FAT32 and the camera detects and records for a few hours (or days unsure) after which suddenly it shows no SD card inserted. Upon investigating the contents of the camera, I can see the videos are present in the card till the timestamp at which Tapo C100 stops recognising the same.
Attaching the SD Card image I have plugged to my Tapo C100. This started happening after a few months of usage.
Steps I took. I reformatted the SD camera again and it started recognising after a few days, it stopped working again siting the same error.

@Solla-topee I have the same problem, tried three different sd cards. The subject keeps appearing here, but no solution. Only putting the blame on the sd cards. At the same time this issue takes away the largest part of of it's purpose.

Hello @Hermke
Thank you for the further feedback. If possible, it is recommended to test a high enduration SD card or an SD card that advertised about support security cameras/ live time recording, if it's still same, might be a defective camera and need to check warranty. You may provide some information on your post here and we will try to look into that further. Thank you.
