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

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

FYI: C246D cannot change FPS

Oh I wouldn't avoid coming to Tapo over it - I spent 5 years with Wyze going through hell. Went to Tapo in October and it's been absolutely amazing. I fully stand by them - but this particular camera has that one issue. You'll find that there no perfect camera anywhere but I can fully stand by the C

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.

Video Cams / Omada

They all do? The Omada is just providing network access. FWIW I like the Tapo series, they’re pretty stable and fast. I’ve got a few c520ws (2k)for outdoors and some c200? (1080p) for inside, and two d130 doorbells. They’re faster than the Wyze cams they replaced and MUCH faster than the blink doorb

Useless!!! I paid for Cam Plus and it never recorded this theft (human detection). I had to review 3 hours of footage on my SD Card. Will NOT be renewing my subscription in August!

I'll be honest - I'm not certain. It memory serves the OG is similar to a C120 maybe. Tapo has easy naming. The higher the number the better, so the ones that look like the OG are C1xx with C110 < C120 < C130 and so on. Add one numeral for black instead of white, so C110 white, C111 black. At least

C530WS image clarity example

I have the same three cams. They all had a problem with motion detection in Surveillance Station. Once they detected motion, it would stick in the "motion detected" mode and never reset. So my timeline in Surveillance Station would show a solid orange bar. That was the same for all 3 cams. At that t
