Troubleshooting

Camera is offline or not connecting to Wi-Fi

Ensure your Wi-Fi router is powered on and within range. Restart both the camera and the router. Verify you are connecting to a 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi network, as the TC71 does not support 5 GHz bands. Check your Wi-Fi password entered in the app.

Poor video quality or stuttering feed

Check your Wi-Fi signal strength in the camera's location. Move the camera closer to the router or consider a Wi-Fi extender. Ensure your internet connection is stable. Close other bandwidth-intensive applications on your network.

Motion detection not triggering alerts

Verify that motion detection is enabled in the Tapo app. Check the sensitivity settings and adjust if necessary. Ensure that activity zones are correctly configured and not blocking detection areas. Make sure notifications are enabled for the Tapo app on your smartphone.

Microphone or speaker not working

Ensure two-way audio is enabled in the app. Check that the camera's microphone and speaker are not obstructed. Verify that your smartphone has the necessary permissions granted to the Tapo app for audio input/output.

Cannot format or access microSD card

Ensure the microSD card is inserted correctly and is within the supported capacity (up to 512 GB). Try formatting the card using the Tapo app's storage settings. If the issue persists, try a different compatible microSD card.
