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

Protect - Can't turn off ONVIF Camera Motion Detections

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.

Can't access camera after blackout
I have the c500 dual camera and it has the same problem. I had Tapo cameras and I never had any problem like this. This is a shitty brand and people should stay away from their products.
