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.

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
A single Unifi AP can easily handle 200 devices, I suspect Microtik AP is roughly in the same ballpark. Those are all designed for commercial applications and for your household setup, I think you are over thinking things. I have about 100 devices including maybe 10 Tapo cameras on 2.4G IoT vlan on

Hi, i need help in fixing a trail cam to inside of a kennel.
Have you got a trail cam? I’m using some Tapo cameras to monitor my girl as we work thru her separation anxiety. They’re cheap so may be an alternative to ruining a more expensive camera. I was thinking 3M double sided tape or magnets, but the suction idea sounds really good. Ooh- another idea if yo

Tapo cams very slow to access and live stream freezes and times out. Any ideas?
Meines Erachtens liegt das Hauptproblem aller hier im Forum beschriebenen Effekte auf der Hochfrequenzseite! Was nützen die ganzen Maßnahmen (Reset, SD-Karte formatieren usw.), wenn das 2,4-GHz-Signal nicht sauber ankommt, weil einerseits die Feldstärke zu schwach ist und/oder der Kanal völlig überl

Arming Cameras at Night? Infrared Clicking Noise
Blink cams don't even have pet detection. Being forced to enable "Other Motion" detection is nonsense given Blink's been on the market for ten years. They should have dedicated pet detection by now. You'd be better off using a cam that does like Wyze (requires subscription for pet detection) or TP-L

Security Cams Full Local Privacy
Thanks for this. The Tapo cams have been fine indoors and I’ve only just recently put them in. I just don’t want the streams being handled and accessed by Tapo or anyone else. Had a convo with AI and it stated that if live stream and recordings are viewed and managed with the apple home app, then Ta

Is a doorbell camera worth it?
Instead of a doorbell cam look at the Tapo C500 security camera. Recently got one for my elderly mother in law after she had problems with callers. High quality recording (uses an SD card) really good night vision easy to fit, alerts your phone when activated about £35 from screwfix. Look it up on Y
