Describe the problem you are having

Hi,

I’m experiencing an issue where 5 out of my 12 cameras are not storing any recordings, while the remaining cameras work without any problems. The affected cameras detect motion, show live video, and generate events, but no clips or continuous recordings are saved, even though they share the same base configuration as the cameras that do record properly.

Affected cameras (all Tapo)

192.168.2.46 — Perimeter_1 — TC65 v1
192.168.2.47 — Perimeter_2 — TC65 v1
192.168.2.48 — Perimeter_3 — TC65 v1
192.168.2.49 — Perimeter_4 — TC65 v1
192.168.2.34 — Entrada_1 — TC70 v5

Cameras that do record

The other 7 cameras (including Entrada_2) record normally using the same structure and roles.

Hi. I reverted to version 16.04 and the cameras started recording. Version 17.0 didn't work either.

I found a backup config.yml file from before the tapo:// implementation and extracted the go2rtc configuration without the tapo:// protocol (goodbye to two-way audio). Once verified, I reverted to version 0.17.1, deleted the recordings and the database, and for now it's working.

I suspect the interference is due to the combination of tapo:// with a TC70v5 or a TC65v1.

The issue where 5 cameras show 0.00 MB storage and 0.00 MB/hour bandwidth while others record normally points to a problem with the recording stream, not the detection or configuration. Since detection, motion, and events work on those cameras, the issue is isolated to the record role stream.

Key observations from your config:

Your non-recording cameras (Perimeter_1 through Perimeter_4 and Entrada_1) use hardware transcoding in their substream definition:
(1)

Perimeter_1_sub:
  - ffmpeg:Perimeter_1#video=h264#hardware

(1)

While your working cameras (like Entrada_2, Salon_1, etc.) use:
(1)

Entrada_2_sub:
  - ffmpeg:Entrada_2#video=copy

(1)

Troubleshooting steps:

Enable debug logging for recordings to see if segments are being written and how long copy operations take:
(2)

logger:
  logs:
    frigate.record.maintainer: debug

(2)

This will produce logs showing copy times. If copy times exceed 1 second, storage may be too slow. (2)

Check for ffmpeg errors specific to the recording stream. The #video=h264#hardware transcoding on the substreams for affected cameras may be causing issues with the main stream used for recording. The recording stream should be the main high-resolution stream without transcoding issues. (1)
Verify the main stream is accessible for recording. Your go2rtc config shows the main streams use the tapo protocol directly:
(1)

Perimeter_1:
  - tapo://{FRIGATE_TAPO_USER}:{FRIGATE_TAPO_PASSWORD}@192.168.2.46?subtype=0&audio=aac

(1)

Ensure these cameras can provide a stable stream for recording by checking go2rtc's web interface for connection status and errors on those specific streams.

Check system resources - if CPU, RAM, or disk I/O is constrained, the recording maintainer may fall behind and purge segments. Use docker stats, htop, or iotop -o to monitor. (2)
Verify storage is not full - Frigate will delete the oldest 2 hours of recordings if less than an hour of storage remains. (3)

The pattern suggests the hardware transcoding (#video=h264#hardware) on the affected cameras' substreams may be interfering with stream handling. Try changing those to #video=copy like your working cameras to test if that resolves the recording issue.

In addition to the AI's recommendations, here are a few more points:

One thing to remember is that the Tapo cameras only support 2 of these three concurrently:

Tapo cloud
SD card recording
RTSP access

Generally it's recommended to use the RTSP url along with the tapo:// source in your go2rtc config, eg:

 go2rtc:
   streams:
     CAMERANAME:
       - rtsp://rtsp_uname:rtsp_pass@192.168.1.50:554/stream1
       - ffmpeg: CAMERANAME#audio=aac
       - ffmpeg: CAMERANAME#audio=opus
       - tapo://account_password_in_plain_text@192.168.1.50

This was taken from another Tapo user here.

You should be using presets rather than manual arguments for your input_args. I'd recommend preset-rtsp-restream since you're using go2rtc.

In summary:

So far, so good. I ran some tests with different browsers, Edge and Safari.

I discovered that with two-way audio (Tapo://), the screen worked correctly, but it still wouldn't record.

When I say "normal," I mean Safari: with the microphone disabled, in Live View, MSE displayed the image with the correct framing, without cropping.

This didn't happen on Windows (Edge, Firefox, Chrome), where the image wasn't displayed in MSE on those specific cameras: 1xTC70v5 Wi-Fi and 4xTC65 wired.

In Safari, when the microphone is enabled, it switches to WebRTC with the correct framing, which also failed on Windows, where the image recovered but cropped.

Now, in Safari without Tapo://, MSE works without problems, but the image doesn't adjust and appears cropped.

I tested Firefox on a Mac, and it frames correctly, unlike Safari.

Note: Now on Windows, correct framing without cropping is adjusted.

Thanks

Glad you resolved it.

To be clear, you can get two-way talk working with the config I posted above.

Hi, I haven't been able to get the template you gave me to work; I have to try again.

It's true that with the code:

Sotano_1: - tapo://{FRIGATE_TAPO_USER}:{FRIGATE_TAPO_PASSWORD}@192.168.2.35?subtype=0&audio=aac Sotano_1_sub: - ffmpeg:Sotano_1#video=copy
the two-way audio worked fine depending on the camera model,

and a couple of days later, while I was implementing the audio, updates were released for several camera models, along with a Frigate update. I was also implementing a managed switch to improve my network topology and implement some VLANs. And in the process, I discovered that five cameras weren't recording. It's one thing to have sporadic recording errors, but not recording at all is critical.

For now, without two-way audio, the current code works.
