Compatibility List of microSD Cards We’ve Tested
Notes:
• The information listed in the compatibility table is based solely on our lab test results. This indicates that the SD cards have been tested for compatibility with the camera, but the stability depends on the quality of each card.
• MicroSD cards use flash memory technology, which has a limited number of write cycles. Each data write operation wears down the flash memory chips. We recommend choosing high-endurance SD cards specifically designed for video surveillance and continuous read/write operations.
• Based on our lab test results, sorry to tell you that the Samsung (256 GB, EVO plus U3, V30, A2, SDXC1) is not supported by any Tapo/Kasa cameras.
