Hello  @mediacloud 

Thank you very much for sharing the result of SD card test with H2testw software 

May I know when did you purchase the camera, and when did the problem occur? Can you take a photo of the PYN SD card itself, it is the green one? 

Please also try a different SD card (better of a different manufacture) to test in the camera.

Please share the MAC address & SN number of the camera (share via private message).

Thanks in advance.

  @Solla-topee I bought the camera and the sd card on August 20th. The problem occurs as soon I tried to use the sd card in the camera. I inserted the card when the camera was off. I plugged the camera, and the the app proposed me to initialize the card. Then it failed. I tried to format the card multiple times from the camera/app. I was able to format the card with a PC on Windows, but still the camera has an issue with it and fails when formatting it. I did not try another card. Here is a picture of the card.

  @mediacloud 

Thank you for more detailed information, you could test the with a different SD card.

If the camera still reports the same error, it could be something wrong with the camera itself and you could reach retailer or local support to get a replacement camera under the warranty. Thank you for your time and patience with troubleshooting!

  @Solla-topee I have exact same error and issue.

It cannot be all devices are messed up or MicroSD cards, please fix the product.

 

If TP-Link pay me all MicroSD cards I bought I will continue testing.

 

We cannot afford to buy 50 MicroSD card just because your product is faulty.
