E1 Pro

I know you said you aren't looking for alternatives, but I'd suggest you skip those brands entirely, because what you need/want can't be done with those brands if you are looking specifically for cameras, you will end up with the same issues as your sister or worse. Those 2 brands are garbage and se

i've battled this exact thing with tapo cameras. the issue is usually that the tapo app uses cloud discovery and doesn't play nice with mdns across subnets. try moving the rule order so the allow from home to iot is at the top. also enable igmp snooping on both vlans. if you keep running into proble

Ubiquiti 100% - I had Reolink, and I kept their Doorbell and a couple of internal E1 Pro cameras. I recently changed the entire system to UniFi; that is network, the NVR Instant, along with their G6 series cameras. I am not looking back.

I never had that kind of problem onl

several challenges here.. you're trying to resolve a behavioral issue with technology - which rarely works. your neighbor is already falsely filing noise complaints when you're not home. if your landlord doesn't accept that you've not been present for several of their complaints, trying to "convince

The reasoning behind the Tapo C120 was their invisible IR emitters and very small form factor eith magnetic mount. Image quality is nothing to write home about. I previously used a reolink E1 Pro and that had much better image quality but the red glow from the IR emitters were very apparent in a dar
