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.

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

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

C325wb vs c560ws real shots
Wow 😮 I am so surprised. I was considering to get a C560WS for our farm to replace one of our C520WS but seeing this I am actually thinking of swapping to another brand. Why are there so many different models with such divers qualities and abilities? All the pictures on the Tapo website are so fake.

SD card loading time C520WS versus C325WB difference, why?
Both of my C520WS V2s got a firmware update today. I tested both of them several times and they are acting just about as fast as my C325WB V1. Hopefully this will stay. Tapo please do not screw it up. Whatever was making the SD card lag was definitely a firmware issue on Tapos end. Edit: I spoke too

FYI: C246D cannot change FPS
Can't show you a video because it gives a lot of personal info but I uploaded screenshots I just took to imgur here. It's currently 14:25 here and that will reflect on the screenshots. But for the C210,C110, and C520WS you need to go into settings and change the power line frequency from Auto to 60h

Just the software itself. I have two C520WS cams and when I try to access one of them with the Tapo software, I get a message that says something like, "It appears you've reached your limit for viewing this video." WTF does that mean? The latest firmware update seems to have messed something up beca
