Model: Tapo C420S2  
Hardware Version: V1
Firmware Version: 1.2.0

Two cameras on my setup - both show a green bar across the top of the image in 720p mode, but fine in 2K QHD. See attached screenshot.  This applies in both live stream, and recorded video.

I have a trio of TP Link cameras which are giving a similar Green bar to the top of the camera, when using Android Devices to view, is there a software update or firmware update being developed to resolve the problem?

 

Thanks

I've been running a trial version of the app which solves the problem. Not sure when it's due to go GA on the Play/Apple stores though.

Morning,
I downloaded and installed the newer version of the Tapo app last night, and when connected to the same wifi as the cameras, the problem is solved, no green bars, however the app does not appear to connect to the cameras when outside of the wifi network, for example on mobile data.  Whereas the original app store app which has the green bar problem does connect to the cameras when outside of the wifi network the cameras are on.

 

Thanks

James
