How to format the read only SD card of TAPO C420S2 on a PC

Tags: #TP-Link ID Related

Model: Tapo C420S2

Hardware Version:

Firmware Version:

Super Talent's 64GB SD memory didn't work for security recordings although snap shots and manual recordings worked OK.
I want to reuse the card but it's locked and not able to format it.

Do I need to throw away the card?

Hi,
If the SD card shows read only when connecting to a PC, it's suggested to search online to see if any suggestions on how to format it.

It's suggested to refer to the instructions below to find a microSD card that is tested and can work with the camera.
What Type of microSD Card does Tapo Camera Support?

Best Regards
