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.

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

G6 PTZ - Huge letdown
I had a Tapo C520WS out back that tracked animals and people. It tracked better than the G5 PTZ that replaced it. I got rid it for several reasons. Their software limits you to one stream at a time. So when I had it recording to Surveillance Station, it wouldn't show in the Tapo app. I could add it

A ojos cerrados la mejor opción al día calidad precio son las TP-Link, o Tapo, la experiencia de uso y funciones que tiene la App, para ajuste de eventos, alertas, automatización y demás no lo encuentra en otro fabricante.

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

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

Best cameras for new home owners
The three big local, optional subscription, tracking, and relatively cheap players are Tapo, Reolink and Eufy. There's more but those are the three that come up on this sub the most. Reolink I believe is this subs favorite. Personally I have Tapo (there the same company as Kasa and Tplink). I have t
