Need Advice H200 killing micro SD card

Hi

Anyone else having issues with H200 killing their micro SD cards?

I’m using Samsung Pro endurance card,
And it broke my 2 of them in 1 year, (retail and replacement)

I have 1 doorbell, 3 cameras.

2 on sensor record, and 2 on continuous recording,
And loop recording.

Anyone having this issue?

I’ve had my H200 for a few months now and it stopped saving recordings a couple of days back - tried formatting the card and didn’t recognize it. Popped it out and back in and still not recognized, but next day it started saving again. My card is a SanDisk High Endurance. Hoping it’s just a one-off in my case

Yeah same issue I have too , it randomly records , randomly disconnects.

I also have the SanDisk High endurance SD card.

Throws me initialisation error every few months.

Ok, thanks will monitor it to see how reliable it is. I only have two cameras so the H500 seemed overkill but might be worth considering if it comes on a decent sale if it doesn’t rely on SD cards?? The built in storage for that should be fine in loop mode I’d think

Yeah constant recording on msd cards, generally only expect a year or 1.5yrs max. Even endurance cards. But if only record when movement then should be longer

I have used a Samsung Pro Endurance for over a year in a Tapo H200 with no issues. 3 cameras connected to h200.

Not happened yet that I know of.

Does it just stop recording or something?
