Awesome review. Is it possible to check and confirm the max bitrate of mainstream using ONVIF device manager?
On C220 v1, it is 2560 kbps.
In your experience, which ones do you prefer between these and reolinks?
Thank you for nice review.
Thanks for the review, is the camera able auto switching to LED lights when spotting movements?
Yes this does have an option to switch from IR lights to the LEDs.
awesome indepth review of this camera ,just ordered one and I have two ptz cameras now from other companies love the ptz camera but my other ones picture/camera quality has a lot to be desired meaning I am buying this one for a better quality/camera and picture so hope it does just that!
Fingers crossed it does what you need.
RTSP? I like to use my server for 24/7 recording. Works with my reolink but the software is not brand specific so I would definitely consider other brands.
Tapo does support RTPS: www.tapo.com/en/faq/34/
Thanks for the review, how long the 32G card can record till overwrite if only on detection mode is on. Thanks
That would depend on amount 9f triggers. On 24/7 recording you get about 2.5 days.
How does it compare to the C325WB that has ColorPro Night Vision? Starlight Full-Color Night Vision vs ColorPro Night Vision?
It has good coolor night vision but right now nothing in the Tapo line can touch the C325WB for the ColorPro Night Vision. I really hope that in the near future that Tapo adds the ColorPro Night vision to more cameras.
If the image quality is as good as my C320WS it'll be great. Ordering right now !
I would say it is on par with or better. You should be good.
Well I have the 320 and glass in cars turns blurry. If a car passes or stops in front of the camera, you cannot see whose in the car. The glass goes blurred/cloudy and the occupents look like jelly.
Ok for general use, but no use for identifying somebody or even reading number plates on cars.
Headlights at night produce a glow that hides the car ! You get what you pay for I suppose.
But they really need to sort out the camera making glass go grey and cloudy.
@@vtechead1 Does it do this in all lighting conditions or just particular ones?
@@Wanderer001_Reviews during the day car windows or house windows turn into a grey out of focus blob.
At night, I leave the camera on daylight setting as the street lights produce good bright video. Car windows are clearer, but people are very smudge like. You can make out if male or female, but faces are very soft and blurry.
Number plates cannot be read.
I wasn’t expecting excellent quality given the price, but it’s no use if it makes glass windows cloudy.
Good camera for keeping an eye on the home or the kids in the garden. But would be struggling to get a clear picture of anybody hanging around.
After tracking a target is ended, does the camera go back to it's centered location or stay where tracking ended?
Wondering if it can track to a corner of it's vertical/horizontal travel, so the next opportunity to detect is compromised by it's position?
It will stay to the position it tracked to for a little time then return to center point.
Awesome, thanks!
If a person come from back side will it detect@@Wanderer001_Reviews
Please review eufy e340 wired 360 pan and tilt 24/7
It is on my list.
Hi! If you use the camera as wired, can you use it as a wifi hotspot? I want to change my Imilab EC5 which can be used as a hotspot if it is wired. Thanks in advance!
No this type of camera can not be used as a hotspot.
If I use Smart Motion Tracking will it drive back to the set position i set or will it just stay when it stop tracking the person?
It will return to the starting point after it stops tracking a target after a little time.
will the camera revert to it's original position after tracking or remain in the last position that was tracked?
It will go back to its start position.
IT has a network port, with that can it be used to record on a NVR?
Yes, this should be possible: www.tp-link.com/us/support/faq/2748/
How long does a 128 GB SD take to write fully and which is the best SD card suitable for this camera
If you are doing 24/7 recording it would be about 9.8 days. Generally I will use either SanDisk or PNY in my cameras. They have severed me well for years.
@@Wanderer001_Reviews can we use scan disk 128 GB ultra OR extreme for tapo c520ws which is best preferred
@@Pravinkumar6869 You could but they would be over kill. Those SD cards have very fast read write speeds needed for pro photography and filming in 4k. I use that type of card in the camera I use to make my youtube videos. You could get away when just a regular scan disk card.
Can you trigger sound and light alarm remotely? I mean not arming the alarm mode, but actually triggering the light and sound alarm to scare off unwanted visitors.
Tapo cameras let you arm the alarm mode, which then will go off if movement or a person is detected. Right now they do not let you manually trigger the alarm to go off.
@@Wanderer001_Reviews thanks for the reply. Do you know any other Tapo outdoor weather proof CCTV which lets you trigger an alarm remotely?
@@avanishgvyas1992 Of the ones I have tested they all seem to have this function.
@@Wanderer001_Reviews like which ones?
@@avanishgvyas1992 Here is my Tapo play list: th-cam.com/video/5Z5arlBZ1os/w-d-xo.html. But I have done the C520WS, C120, Wire-Free MagCam, C420S2, C325WB, C320WS.
Why do you cover the MAC address of the device with blue tape? Can you get hacked by people knowing it?
It is the S/N or the device too. It is more of a way to stay safe to keep people from putting together small bits of info to find you on the internet.
Is there surveillance in Tapo? And is it free? unlimited? Because xiaomi cctv no longer free for surveillance 😢
For free you get person and pet detection as well as free local storage. If you need cloud storage for your videos they offer it but for a fee.
Sir what is the difference between tapo c510 w and tapo 520 ws ??
The 520WS has external antennas and a better night vision sensor for colored low light night vision.
@@Wanderer001_Reviews thanks
Let’s hope that 30 fps will be enough to see car plates, at least at low speeds.
It picks a lot of static noise when placed outdoor but fine when indoor. 😢
Is it picking up the wind blowing over the mic? If so might just need to lower the sensitivity.
@@Wanderer001_Reviews not the wind. It's more of a mechanical noise coming from the unit itself.
@@Joseph-rs2ij Perhaps a faulty unit? I have been using mine and have not heard anything like that.
@@Wanderer001_Reviews it’s not a faulty unit. There’s a recent opened thread on Tapo community regarding this issue on C520ws. I kept pasting the link here but my comment is being removed.
1. During patrol mode, if it detects a person/vehicle, will it track them or will it continue with the patrolling ?
2. Can we schedule the patrol mode ?
3. If we added viewpoint to the patrol mode, will it go through all the viewpoints ? Or does it only able to patrol only horizontally/vertically ?
1. It will continue the patrol.
2. Patrol mode is a manual mode only and cannot be scheduled.
3. It would not go through waypoints it will only do patrolling vertically and horizontally.
Apple homekit 😭
Surfboard
Not a lot of cameras natively support home kit. I get it.
@@Wanderer001_Reviews but eufy securty cams for apple homekit 🤗👍
