Update on Jan 23, 2024.

 

This phenomenon is solved on the Tapo app version v3.1.514 and the newer one, and it's recommended to solve the issue by updating the Tapo app from Google Play if your Tapo app is not the latest one.

 

Best Regards

Phenomenon description:

When watching the camera's Live View page remotely after updating the latest firmware, the camera's Live View page displays a message "Tap to Refresh". After tapping the refresh icon several times, the Live View page may display properly.

 

Workaround:

1. Connect the phone to the same Wi-Fi as the camera, and try to watch the camera locally via the Tapo app.
If you can view the camera successfully, try to watch the camera remotely and check if the problem is solved.

 

2. If the above suggestions do not work, send a private message to @Solla-topee with the format "Forum ID 645440+ camera's model number + 'Tap to Refresh' appears on the camera's Live View page after firmware updates" for further assistance.

Hi,

Please help confirm the following information for the reported case.

1. What's the model number of your camera that enjoys the Tapo Care service? You can send me( @Solla-topee) the MAC address of the camera via a private message.

 

2. On the Tapo app>Cameras tab>Cloud Activity page, have you seen the cloud video clips after you select the date? If yes, please click on a clip and check if you can watch it successfully.

 

3. Do you have an internet connection on your phone?

 

4. You can reboot your phone and update the Tapo app for a try.

 

Best Regards

Hi,
If you have a problem when watching the camera's live feed, please confirm the following information.
  1. Please ensure the Tapo app is up to date and your router has a stable internet connection.
  2. Check the LED status on your camera.
  3. Do you have a problem when watching the camera's live feed locally or remotely?
  4. Try a different phone if you have one.
Best Regards

Re:What to do if the Tapo camera's Live View page shows "Tap to Refresh" after the firmware update?
Yesterday

Camera =C220

Bought= maybe 6-8 months back

 

I did all the thing.

 

Format my SD card

Reset the camera

installed new app in Phone

 

 

What i noticed was when I change the IP to static option in advance network settings and then save it starts working for few mins, and then when i exit the app and try it after an hour or so the problems starts again. It is only happening when Im using my local network to watch the live video. While when I'm in my office i can see the live video on 4G very clearly. Otherwise on connecting on my local network it is saying Tap to refresh evey time until I chnage the Static IP setting and save.
