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

Dahua PTZ with AI Port
It can be assigned to multiple cameras, but you can't mix and match ONVIF and Unifi. It's one or the other. I think you can use it for 5 (?) Unifi cams that don't have advanced AI, like maybe a G4 Instant. You can use it for multiple ONVIF cams, but only one 4k, or two 2k, or (I think) 3 or 4 HD cam

Camera not switching to night vision
c520ws. im having the same issue. I've asked tapo to address this and like 5 other obvious and easily programmable issues ...nothing. TpLink and Tapo are the same as all the other pathetic product designers. Advertise you have amazing and great products that do everything and then it comes up very s
