Have you tried using TP link Vigi NVR to connect these Tapo cameras which are ONVIF compatible and see if that works on both NVR as well as Tapo app? I am looking at setting this up to work with both Tapo App obviously which has great customizable options as well as NVR if I could. I am not sure if I can do that or not. I assume may be not but wanted to check and see if you have tried or have any suggestions? I am primarily wanting to use Tapo App for these Cameras and as a backup also want to be able to record on HDD. Can I do that both simultaneously?

I can only hope the video is clearer than previous Tapo’s. The Tapo 320 that I have is not bad, but makes car windows go cloudy/ blurry. The occupants are just a blur, as the windscreen or side windows go cloudy. Seems to do this with any glass surfaces. No use for security purposes, more suited to just general observation purposes.

I have two indoor C100's and I love the company. What I want to know before I commit to this particular tapo camera is - can this camera be jammed? The reason I ask this question is because my two indoor tapo cams face the outside. They have never failed on me before. So this one time at the beginning of this year, a hand delivered letter came through my door at around 8pm. The letter came from someone who should not be near our property as that person has a restraining order on him mandated by the courts. Our camera failed to pick him up but it never failed to pick up anyone prior to that or even after that at similar times. I can't prove the camera was jammed but I do know that the person who dropped off that letter has a degree in computing and education in electrical engineering and if anyone knows what to use to jam cctv, it's him. We need a camera that will never be jammed.

Sadly nothing is ever going to be 100% tamper proof. However, chances are if your other cameras were Jammed it was the wifi that was disrupted. This camera has the option to be wired to your router meaning it is much harder to disrupt the picture to this camera then one that works only over wifi.

I would love for TAPO to bring out a PoE camera in the future because I would prefer just one app to keep for all my cctv needs and the other devices I have with them such as the smart plug socket. I suppose this will be an answer just now until TAPO do just that. Thanks again.

@@FrozenWillow1980 If you are willing to spilt your smart home between two different vendors, Reolink makes some pretty good cameras. They have several that do PoE if that is a must for you.

Hi there. Has the app for this model been updated to allow you to select notifications by 'Activity Type'? I have the previous model C320WS which allows you to select notification for just Person or Vehicle etc, however looking at your video at time stamp 33.30, it seems like this model does not allow you to do that, so notifications are either off or on for all AI detections.

Yes, you can connect this Tapo cameras to the TP-Link ViGi NVR thru ONVIF, you just have to make sure your cameras have static IPs too which I think you know how to setup anyway. I currently have 5x C320WS and 1x C225 all connected to the TP-Link NVR1016H all recording at 2k resolution. I could connect to either Tapo app or Vigi NVR apps. One of my cameras has an SD card and the camera records on that SD card too while also recording in the Vigi NVR. So I get the much faster timeline scrolling on that one camera with SD card while also having the recording on my NVR with 1TB storage atm that has about 1 week continuous recording in it. They've had several firmware updates for the NVR and mostly the cameras over more than a year of using it, and I must say at least on the software side, they seem to be supporting this cameras quite well for now as Ive seen several improvements on the detection side and even the UI.

32:24 so apart from setting a custom schedule, this type of wired cam always records constantly as a baseline? the clips are just basically timestamp logs, that the software seeks to if called up? while battery powered cams work in a clip based way, where time information means an actual discrete clip on the card, if i understand this right. on a sidenote i think schedule is a horrible idea. problems always, always happen when you have the cam off, or the power went off and so on. i lost several stuff in the past on this
@Wanderer001_Reviews6 ай бұрын
Yes the camera is set to record 24/7 right out of the box. The schedule for "clips" could be used if one does not have a large sd card and only wants to record when there is activity in the cameras line of sight to save space. I do prefer having a camera record 24/7 so I can always look back if there was something that happened that might not have "triggered" the camera.
