Wyze sucks more every day. Need an alternative
I have replaced with different tapo cam models and is the best thing i've ever done. They have great home assistant integrations, also RTSP for future installing frigate.

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.

Do better than this Tapo
You should Turn on 3rd party integrations and pipe the rtsp feed to a local VMS. I run Object detections models like mobilenetssd and YOLOv8 on my Tapo cams with good results. I don’t think there’s a classification for fox but I have seen my cams tell between a Dog and Cat

how many tapo devices a single router/ap can handle

Paano maglagay ng CCTV sa labas ng bahay na hinde abot ng wifi?

Protect - Can't turn off ONVIF Camera Motion Detections
I have the same problem. Connected a tapo cam and even within the protect settings motion events is ticked off. But it doesn’t work and every motion is notified very annoying.

Tapo should make an alarm system with a keypad
Sure they'll release it right after they release a 16 channel NVR for Tapo cams..
