Is there any update on the release date on this 4K dual cam?

Curious about that one as well. Also wondering if that would detect movement further away than 15m. I have two C520WS and a C500 around our barn and it’s really bad notifying me of events that are a bit in the distance. Especially in the night with infrared. I also can’t identify any licence plate e

Arming Cameras at Night? Infrared Clicking Noise

Blink cams don't even have pet detection. Being forced to enable "Other Motion" detection is nonsense given Blink's been on the market for ten years. They should have dedicated pet detection by now. You'd be better off using a cam that does like Wyze (requires subscription for pet detection) or TP-L

Security Cams Full Local Privacy

Thanks for this. The Tapo cams have been fine indoors and I’ve only just recently put them in. I just don’t want the streams being handled and accessed by Tapo or anyone else. Had a convo with AI and it stated that if live stream and recordings are viewed and managed with the apple home app, then Ta

Tapo cams very slow to access and live stream freezes and times out. Any ideas?

Meines Erachtens liegt das Hauptproblem aller hier im Forum beschriebenen Effekte auf der Hochfrequenzseite! Was nützen die ganzen Maßnahmen (Reset, SD-Karte formatieren usw.), wenn das 2,4-GHz-Signal nicht sauber ankommt, weil einerseits die Feldstärke zu schwach ist und/oder der Kanal völlig überl

Tapo cams with Frigate

That’s a good question. Not sure how much AI the two C520WS and the C500 have. The C500 is and was quite dumb from the beginning. The firmware is really bad in my view and Tapo says I should buy a better camera. Frigate just made it smarter even the resolution is not enough so I might update anyways

Home, Gemini and Tapo Camera

What brands are you cameras? Home doesn't pull the video feed from my Tapo C500 (gray square with a spinning circle) but Gemini definitely does.

Come on!

ok it seems its a low end camera, Tc40 is almost similar to C500, may be different name in different region, not sure. Tapo gives more priority to new and high range camera with software updates. i do have similar kind of 360 tapo camera but i use it for 24/7 loop recording with no detection unless

Can't access camera after blackout

I have the c500 dual camera and it has the same problem. I had Tapo cameras and I never had any problem like this. This is a shitty brand and people should stay away from their products.

Is a doorbell camera worth it?

Instead of a doorbell cam look at the Tapo C500 security camera. Recently got one for my elderly mother in law after she had problems with callers. High quality recording (uses an SD card) really good night vision easy to fit, alerts your phone when activated about £35 from screwfix. Look it up on Y
