Intercepted OTA / Recovery .bin for TC70 v5 (Soft-bricked)

Hi everyone,

I'm hoping someone might have a cached firmware dump or an intercepted OTA link for a TC70 Hardware Version 5.

One of the indoor cameras for my local smart home monitoring layout got interrupted during an update and is currently soft-bricked. It powers on to a solid red LED but fails to boot the main OS—there is no pan/tilt motor calibration at all. The SD card recovery method (factory_up_boot.bin) is my only way out, but TP-Link support is refusing to provide the file.

Here are the details:

  • Model: Tapo TC70
  • Hardware Version: v5
  • Current State: Solid red light, bootloader active but OS corrupted.
  • Target Firmware: I have another working V5 on 1.4.4 Build 260527 Rel.28339n, but I'm perfectly happy with an older, unencrypted build just to get the camera to boot again.

Thanks in advance.
