C530WS image clarity example
Great pics. I have a couple of C520WS cams working with Synology's Surveillance Station. I'm impressed with the clarity and tracking ability for such an inexpensive camera. I just wish the Tapo software worked better.

Valg af overvågningskamera
Jeg vil foreslå et eller flere TP-Link Tapo kameraer og en 5g router fra fx CBB.Jeg har selv TP-Link Tapo C520WS som jeg er meget tilfreds med. Bruger det mest til notifikationer direkte på min telefon, om aktivitet ved mit hus når jeg ikke er hjemme. De fungerer både med lokal lagring direkte i kam

Tapo H500 with 16TB HDD storage
I’ve tried several brands side by side and Tapo is in my opinion by far the best brand, most stable connection, best performing app, least fals alarms, good image quality in all lighting conditions, etc. That’s why I went all in with this entire setup. I have everything wireless and it works flawles

The Tapo camera/cloud/app performance has been dismal lately
I am experiencing the same. Have the cams only since October but they worked better at the beginning. The C500 is crap anyways and I will replace it in spring. The two C520ws are ok but since last update the sound and tracking performance is bad. Also for one I had the Tapo care subscription first a

Should I return it?
I have found that eufy cams are good without the homebase. Wired cams with SD cards in each cam is the way to go. My biggest complaint about Eufy is the inability to stream all cameras simultaneously unless you buy the E10 display. I tried Reolink and liked their 180 degree cam but when I setup the

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

My garage was broken into. The idiots smashed the cameras but they still continued to record after taking a beating. Sadly the rear mounting panel is beyond repair
I own a bunch of eufy cams. They have a feature called " anti-theft Detection" the siren will go off if someone tried to remove it, and will not stop since it got a battery built in. I'm testing right now the TP-Link Tapo 2K QHD Outdoor Pan/Tilt(Tapo C520WS) so far the image looks better than the eu

Camera recomendations
I'm using Tapo c520ws with decent results. I have also used an old android phone with a dedicated microphone and the difference is night and day, but the tapos are up and running 24/7 and do "good enough" for what I want.
