Taking apart a Tapo C200 camera Teardown

Thank you for the video. I also opened mine up because pan was not working. But I noticed my motor was ok. So i cleaned everything up (old grease and dirt). After greasing everything up it worked perfectly again.

Thank you. Video helped especially in opening the casing. Maybe it's obvious, but after releasing the 3 screws fixating the main board, the pin header prevents removing the board; simply push the objective with some force to the inside an the board will easily come off. The camera doesn't turn on/initialize with the IR-Board missing. If unsoldering the IR-LEDs is no option, 2! layers (those LEDs are really powerful) of duct tape sufficiently reduce the light; however, I'm not sure how long the LEDs survive this treatment due to hindered heat dissipation.

Thanks this has helped me. I took the IR board out to stop reflections in the window making it useless at night. I have a separate IR lightsource. I have been able to cancel an order I made of the C100 which I planned to tape up the outside of the area where the LEDs are but now this C200 will work great now :) Thanks.

Hi. Thank you for the video. I see two wires connected to lenses. Do they switch the Day/Night mode? Is it some mechanical filter?

hi. Thank you for the teardown. I was going to see if I could replace the mic as the sound recording is bad. But I see there is mic markings on the board but it does not look like there is a mic on the board. I am wondering if it just uses the speaker as a mic. Did you find the mic when you had it apart?

I don't think changing the mic will help with the sound quality, I had a look at the file properties and it only records sound at a bit rate of 6kbps and a audio sample rate of 8.000 khz. So the problem is a software problem. I would say they chose that setting to keep the file size down.

How to got spray parts

hello, my Wi-Fi no longer detects, I already did everything, the network can't detect the device, could it be the Wi-Fi circuit damaged???

Hello! Can this be repaired if the unit got damage due to plugging it directly to a 220v without its adaptor?

where is the microphone? sound quality is bad i want to pull it out

Red light is stable in my camera, green light is not coming and has gone into offline mode. If there is any solution, please tell.
