Tapo H500
Idéal pour : Idéal pour centraliser sans abonnement les enregistrements d’une installation Tapo domestique, sans dépendre de la reconnaissance faciale.
En bref : Les utilisateurs Reddit jugent le Tapo H500 convaincant pour centraliser localement les enregistrements de plusieurs appareils Tapo, avec une installation généralement simple. Le consensus est toutefois très critique sur la reconnaissance faciale et relève des limites de compatibilité, de flux simultanés et de stabilité logicielle.
Au-delà de ce modèle, la marque Tapo (toutes gammes) recueille 55 % d'avis positifs sur 179 utilisateurs Reddit. Ce signal marque ne compte pas dans la note du modèle ci-dessus.

« It is PnP, has AI facial recognition and completely eliminates the need for a subscription service. »
« Assuming you don't have a subscription, don't have cloud, then yeah if you can see them it's recording them. »
« I can see the recordings, no cloud but the H500 shows 0kb which is why I don't know if it is a big or it's using some inbuilt storage. »
La configuration est souvent jugée facile, à condition d’utiliser un disque interne compatible et un réseau adapté.

r/Tapo · H500 Facial Recognition It's useless. After 6 months, I still get detected as an unknown person most of the time (I use cameras indoors which see me many times during the day). I have no camera which sees a TV, but mine have detected faces displayed on the side of vans parking in front of my house.
r/Tapo · H500 Facial Recognition I've been doing that for months and I did not notice any improvement.
r/Tapo · H500 Facial Recognition Same here. I mostly get detected as an unknown person. Despite adding these pictures to my person, the AI doesn't get better in recognizing me.

r/Tapo · H500 Facial Recognition I gave up. Now it's off. I think that this was more of a marketing thing.... This Ai needs a lot of improvement. Actually, there's a lot to improve with the h500.
r/Tapo · H500 vs Micro SD I have an h500 and sd cards as redundancy just in case anything goes wrong with the network. I've got some cheaper sandisk extreme since it won't be constantly recording on it. I've had some instances when the cameras record on them for a bit, despite having great signal and having the some cameras connected directly to the hub and neither the cams or the router or even the h500 have an auto reboot on... So... You must factor in the cost of a hub and an ssd, against some sd cards that will last, depending on their size, a couple of years. The hub Ai is rubbish. You can't set crossing lines or have some other more advanced Ai features that some cameras have. You have the option to view live footage on a tv or set it up to view in every tv in your home (with a lot of work) but you can do that with the app anyway. Another thing is.. I have a Gigabit network as most of us do and sometimes the hub is lagging for no reason. It's not horrible but it could be much better. I bought it as an easy setup nvr kind of thing and as that it works ok. Just my humble and honest opinion from my experience.
r/Tapo · H500 Facial Recognition In this example yes, but i have Qhd and 4k cameras and the 4k have the same errors... They sometimes don't even detect my schnauzer... Well.. The dog is grey and the outside is concrete but i can see it and the Ai doesn't... Also... It detects people at night (that aren't there) if an insect flies by or at the slightest fog or rain... So... A lot to be improved..
r/Tapo · How to tell if recording to h500? That's the problem then. It's only recording events. Set it to all blue and it will record 24/7.
r/Tapo · H500 Facial Recognition Totally agree. The Ai is the same as in the cameras themselves. I've tried to "teach" it, both on the cameras and on the hub and it's the same. The hub could do so much more but tapo is doing it's own thing... They prefer to release new stuff with those new features, instead of integrating them on the existing software... It's more profitable that way...
r/Tapo · H500 help needed Every tapo device is on a dedicated iot network and with device isolation enabled as since the beginning. The problem just began now. I'm going to see what they say about it.
r/Tapo · H500 help needed The thing is.. When i first configured the hub, I could always access it and the hard-drive without a wan connection. This is something new. It also wouldn't make any sence to be locked out from your own system in case of a wan blackout...
r/Tapo · H500 Hub new setup question Don't forget to isolate all iots from your network! You can add the hard-drive later. It's not difficult to format it and run it after installation. Watching live footage is only possible on hdmi or with another screen that supports usb-c like a tablet or just a "dumb screen", other than that, only using the app, preferably in the same isolated network to get really low latency.
r/Tapo · H500 help needed Nothing changed in my setup and i used to be able to connect with the app on that same iot network. I don't know if it's the hub or the app but something changed. Nothing changed in the router, maybe i need to setup the hub again using first the wifi and then connecting the ethernet cable... It has both networks configured 2.4ghz and 5ghz and it's on cable... It's like I'm not the device admin or something...

r/Tapo · The H500 is useless for supporting only 4 continuous cameras recording It's insanely cheap for a network hub.... How many houses need more than 4 24x7 recording?
r/Tapo · H500 Question Not possible doesn't work that way unfortunately
r/Tapo · H500 vs Micro SD cards It's about price. H500 plus SSD vs microsd cards. Main benefit of h500 is the storage is safe if a camera is stolen
r/Tapo · H500 questions - will it help me Face recognition is pretty piss poor so there isn't a reason to get it.
r/Tapo · HomeBase H500 usage recommendations You just need something with HDMI. Constant 24x7 monitoring works okay for it but not great. The h500 hub is very meh
r/Tapo · How to tell if recording to h500? There is no camera storage unless there's an SD card. It's recording to the hub then
r/Tapo · H500 Hub new setup question That's internal not external. Just slide it in the side
r/Tapo · How to tell if recording to h500? I mean.... Can you see recordings? Assuming you don't have a subscription, don't have cloud, then yeah if you can see them it's recording them.
r/Tapo · H500 Hub new setup question Wait did you buy an external hard drive or a 2.5" hard drive to put in it? Because you need to put a drive in it ideally. External doesn't work the same
r/Tapo · 24/7 Capture w/ the H500, C460 and C660 They fix bugs. It's a bug.

r/Tapo · The H500 is useless for supporting only 4 continuous cameras recording The H500 is fantastic for the price. It is PnP, has AI facial recognition and completely eliminates the need for a subscription service. It also connects to multiple sensors, locks and doorbells if you go deep into the Tapo ecosystem. If you need 24/7 monitoring on more than 4 cameras then you’d be better off with a professionally installed wired home security system. You could have 4 cameras recording 24/7 in your high traffic / critical areas and have up to 12 additional cameras set to event recording on less critical area. Alternatively, if you have cameras at each end of the house, get a second H500 and cluster 4 cameras to each one with the cameras connected directly to the hub rather than via your home wifi.

r/Tapo · Tapo H500 You can choose to fallback to a direct connection with the hub if your wifi is bad and the hub is better. It is set on the device itself, not on the hub. https://preview.redd.it/t7xle3ub5lpg1.png?width=980&format=png&auto=webp&s=8cde7455bcc4c890a3cb020ab67f977d2f83cca3
r/Tapo · D235 and H200 or H500 I have a D235 permanently wired and recording 24/7 to an H500 with a 1TB ssd. No issues whatsoever.
r/Tapo · Tapo H500 The hub can connect to wifi as well, so you only need a power cable. The traffic is surprisingly little, knowing the ethernet port is only 100mbps, wifi will do fine. (mine is wired though) I don't use the hdmi feature. If you use the hdmi stream on battery powered camera's, the stream will go to sleep to save camera battery and there is no setting to ignore that. So you have to power the camera's to enjoy 24/7 hdmi stream. My doorbell is permanently wired in with "always-on" mode and I still can't do 24/7 streaming because it thinks it runs on battery, probably a software bug. 24/7 recording is fine. Most of their camera's (including my doorbell) have a built in local account if you enable it. You can access the camera through RTSP protocol with third party apps/nvr's with the camera credentials directly to the ip-address. Be aware that you have to configure some ports if you want this outside the local network (I won't make this public if I were you). https://preview.redd.it/kb09tkgbmlpg1.png?width=980&format=png&auto=webp&s=9d28cda9d36656813513fc5d0bce8146d50415c0
r/Tapo · Tapo H500 I have no regrets. Be aware though that continuous recording is only supported up to 4 camera's at a time. Event recording is supported up to 16 cameras. I have 24/7 recording of my doorbell (2K 5MP) and I get 46 days on a 1 TB SSD. If you go for a spinning disk, make note that the hub will make the typical hard disk noise. Don't put it in a closed space, I have mine well ventilated and the disk still gets to 53°C.
r/Tapo · H500 questions - will it help me The H500 does not make detection or facial recognition better. It is a gimmick that doesn't work.

r/Tapo · H500 vs Micro SD cards H500 hands down, bonus points it can also be used as network wifi backup for your cameras.
r/Tapo · H500 vs Micro SD I bit the bullet and got the H500 after just looking at the cost of the highest capacity micro sd cards acceptable for the cameras, the overall price was more than the H500.
r/Tapo · Tapo H500 After reading through, my internet set up is relatively similar to yours I haven't had a problem with the H500 getting any of my recordings, and I have cameras covering 6 of my 12 acres. A couple of my farther out just on the cusp of my wifi signal have switched to the hub wifi, but all works as it should. Also after reading your comments, I think I need to add at least 1 more node so I can move my H500 and hook it into my tv lol. Thankfully my tv is corner mounted so I can throw a small shelf up behind it to set the H500 on and a Deco mount.
r/Tapo · Tapo H500 playback suddenly became very laggy (local + remote) – anyone else? My issue started when the app updated a few days ago.
r/Tapo · Question on the H500 hub The others will still record events on the H500, I'm currently maxed out on my cameras for my H500 total... Since you intend on running a large number see if your router offers a seperate IoT network. I just learned of this option and still moving other smart devices over but once I moved my cameras and garage door openers over, I noticed a significant difference already on my main network. The pict https://preview.redd.it/mbk31x5159rg1.jpeg?width=589&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=b90f5ba273805dc1e3bac1e39d2c4f730c19203a ure is my device and network insanity lol. My guest network is just my solar panels, and if a guest needs wifi and about 3/4 of my main network needs to move to my IoT network

r/Tapo · H500 Facial Recognition \+1 - Same experience however I have only had my Tapo H500 for about a week so I was thinking that algorithms will probably get better with time but now I am keeping my hopes down.
r/Tapo · H500 Facial Recognition Good to know, I’ll stop trying to keep updating the familiars
r/Tapo · Recommendations for 2.5inch SATA HDD/SSD for Tapo H500 (Australia) Okay okay… I couldn’t wait to see this in action and pulled apart my Seagate Portable hard drive and voila to my surprise I was able to remove the Sata to USB 3 adapter and use the hard drive in my Tapo H500. Couldn’t be more excited. Thank you so much for the tip. I now have 1TB of HDD at 5400 RPM without spending a single $$. Just out of curiosity, my drive temperature is showing around 40 degrees Celsius. Is that normal? What’s the ideal range?
r/Tapo · Tapo H500 That’s a bummer! I could have easily repurposed my existing drive. Anyways, this changes my equation as I’ll now need to budget a storage with my Tapo H500, may be I’ll look at SSD depending on the price difference.
r/Tapo · Tapo H500 Wow! Those are good insights. I am still not sure about the placement for the hub, TV is wall mounted and I don’t want to clutter it by installing a hub and then running more cables. May be it will look good on the kitchen bench. I can also chuck it somewhere in the network rack in my garage but then I am afraid I won’t use it to the full potential (HDMI port for Live streaming on a screen), answering video door bell etc etc. Thoughts?

r/Tapo · Question on the H500 hub I don't have any 24/7 recording but my understanding is yes the others will be motion activated and record to the hub. Don't think the external drive is going to work the sata connection is internal and you have to use the disk tray that is included it get to it.

r/Tapo · H500 questions - will it help me Face recognition is terrible do not buy if that is a big factor for you. It constantly puts up new faces that have already been identified and you end up with a HEAP of confirmation faces each day. It’s not worth the overhead on the hub.

r/Tapo · D235 and H200 or H500 Friend has the D235 and the H200 and it goes down so often it is useless. The doorbell is within 5 feet of the router as well, so loss of signal is complete BS. They also have their wifi networks split so the 5g and the 2.4 are separate. The H200 is also hardwired. They are also using a high endurance SD card.. I can't recommend the H500 as it's a joke for what you pay for it. Tapo needs to release a real NVR, and not just a hub.
r/Tapo · H500 questions - will it help me As stated, do not buy the H500 for facial recognition as it's garbage. Tapo had real NVRs at CES that were an upgrade, and they apparently decided to shelve them. The processing power required for accurate facial recognition is not available for cheap, yet.
r/Tapo · Question on the H500 hub The H500 is not a true NVR, it's a joke. 4 cameras, with a possible upgrade to 6 with a firmware update in the "future" with the rest of the cameras only being motion...Then add that it only takes 2.5" drives, and the drives need to be on the compatibility list to ensure it works, which with the work around for a 3.5" means you may not be able to make your chose 3.5" work with it a crap shoot. The Tapo NVR810P 8 channel NVR they had at CES in 2025 would have been perfect as it handled both wifi and hard wired cameras. It also had all the AI features that the H500 has. Yes Frigate is a PITA to setup, and the annual sub for Blue Iris is for software updates, maintenance and support. Once you buy the license for the software, you are done, and you decide whether you want to pay for updates, support and maintenance after 1 year. There are plenty of guides for Frigate, but in all honesty, it needs to be more "I'm a moron" friendly, but once you do get it setup, it is far more powerful than anything Tapo offers.
r/Tapo · Question on the H500 hub No it is not worth it. The H500 is a joke and should never have been released. Tapo had a real 8 channel NVR at CES, and according to support in this sub, they decided to deep six it for some god awful reason (probably to push the AI and subscription crap). If anything you would be better off going the route of making your own NVR with open source software like Frigate or closed source like Blue Iris.
r/Tapo · H500 & older camera's (compatible according to site OK) The fix is more than likely going to be you buying new cameras, sadly.
r/Tapo · H500 vs Micro SD You should let Tapo know that you want a real NVR, and not that joke they call the H500. You should stick with SD cards and do 24-7 sadly as motion detection always misses important events. Plenty of horror stories of people having their cars broken into, their garage, etc and the good old motion only capture missed everything.
r/Tapo · Do Tapo 4k cameras and H500 hub have sufficient quality and reliability to serve as home security camera system, when it really matters? The hub is severely limiting for recording as it can only handle 4-6 cameras recording 24-7 pending on the firmware, and the rest of the cameras will be motion detection only. You can go with the cameras themselves if you want to save some money, but get a real NVR instead of the H500 hub. Figure you would want at least 3 cameras on the house (front yard, back yard, on side), 3 on the garage (main doors, man door, inside), and whatever in your garden area. I would personally go with the C575D in every place possible if you want 4k as the dual cams cover such a large area and the motion tracking will ensure you catch almost everything.
r/Tapo · Unsure whether to go with the H500 or whether I'd be throwing money away. And people need to stop defending companies that hand us crap products. Your compliance is why their corporate side thinks it's perfectly ok to hand us crap. It's funny how other companies have 8 channel NVR's that are cheaper than the H500, and yet people still think it's a great buy when it's a joke of a product.
r/Tapo · H500 access from PC or script That's the neet thing, you don't. The H500 is a hub that has become a pseudo NVR, and it doesn't do it well. If you want them on your PC your best bet is just bite the bullet and setup Frigate or Blue Iris and use their superior detection settings.
r/Tapo · The H500 is useless for supporting only 4 continuous cameras recording The amount of data transferring across the wireless network is nothing. Most of the cameras don't even break 6mbit (750kb/s) when there is action and continuous recording with zero events is under 200kb/s. Even the 4k cameras use very little bitrate. Tapo has NVR's in their VIGI line that can handle up to 32 wireless cameras with continuous recording, and have 16 of them streaming at once.. The H500 is a joke, and should never have been marketed the way it has been.
r/Tapo · H500 Hub new setup question You absolutely can not use an external drive with this unit. The unit only works with internal drives and the external port is for backing up of data only. You can only view it via HDMI. The USB-C port does not support display port.
r/Tapo · Tapo H500 Your portable WD drive can't be used as the USB port is soldered to the drive. There are no connections on the bare drive that are usable. NONE.
r/Tapo · H500 Question Yeah no. This thing was half cooked when it was released, and all owners seem to do is complain of how bad it is.
r/Tapo · The H500 is useless for supporting only 4 continuous cameras recording There are "future plans" to update it to allow up to 6. I've chimed in about this joke of a device, and it appears most of the community here are happy with this neutered POS. It's a slap in the face to users, and should never have been released. Release the NVR's that were at CES that supported wifi cameras and had full ONVIF and RTSP support, with full onboard rich AI notifications, something the H500 absolutely does not have.

r/Tapo · H500 questions - will it help me I have the H500 and use it primarily for local storage, and it’s worked well for that. I also tried the facial recognition feature, but I ended up disabling it because it wasn’t very reliable with my newer Tapo cameras. One feature I do appreciate is that the H500 can act as a backup Wi-Fi connection for your cameras, which adds a little extra reliability if your primary connection has issues. Overall, I’m happy with the H500 and don’t regret buying it. That said, if facial recognition is the main reason you’re considering it, I think you might be disappointed. At least with my setup, that feature just hasn’t lived up to expectations.

r/Tapo · H500 Hub new setup question I use a 1TB internal drive. The process is easier if you wait and set it all up together. You can do it separately but setting up the hub first as you will have it, makes it easier. Yes it is only through HDMI. I have a 16” IPS monitor with hdmi and usb c for power. Sure it sucks a bit to use two cables but that’s how it is setup.
r/Tapo · Tapo H500 reboot I have the same roughly with a few extra and I don’t reboot mine unless the screen I have attached to it freezes. That’s a rare thing though. Maybe once a month it will freeze I also have a 1TB ssd and I’ve had this all running nearly five months. The SSD has 295gb available right now and has not filled up once yet. I get at least 125 notifications for motion a day and it still is very efficient about how much space is used. It would be nice if Tapo would let me delete from the SSD by month or something so I can get rid of the older stuff
r/Tapo · HomeBase H500 usage recommendations Echo show sucks in my opinion. I have a 15.6” 2.5k portable monitor. Powers up via usbc from the hub and it came with the hdmi to mini hdmi cable it needs to work. I don’t have it sitting on the hub because the angle wasn’t right but the monitor has its own stand and is set to the right angle that way. Works perfectly and shows what I need it to and a good resolution
r/Tapo · The H500 is useless for supporting only 4 continuous cameras recording More than 4 continuous recordings and you need POE cameras and an actual NVR with proper storage and software. I personally had one setup like that in my old home and while it was nice, 90% or more of the time, it is just recording nothing. It was nice to have the cameras both powered and driven by just one Cat6 cable, but they were not intuitive and weren't able to detect as well as the Tapo cameras and H500 can. I have two cameras recording full time and the rest set to only record notifications. It is a very straight forward and simple system. If you need something more, get a more professional system. Lastly, I would guess that Tapo limits this to 4 cameras because of the amount of data that will have to be transferring at a constant rate across your network. Add that to the read/write speed of most drives and the hardware built into the H500 and you can easily see why they would limit it. No reason to have more when the vast majority of their demographic audience, doesn't need it.
r/Tapo · Question on the H500 hub I've got the H500 hooked up to 7 cameras total (4 motion & 3 continuous), a doorbell camera, and a door lock as well. I only have used the internal SSD for storage. I did not look at any compatibility list of any kind. I already had a 1TB drive from my Eufy HomeBase that I was getting rid of, plugged it in, formatted, done. No issues. Furthermore, I have a 16" 2.5k IPS screen hooked up to the H500 for viewing. I don't have any issues with it at all. The resolution is a bit off because the cameras are 4k and the screen is 2.5k, but that's nothing that really bothers me at all. I don't use any IOT network. I just have a Deco Mesh WiFi7 setup that works perfectly. The hub is about 10 feet from one Node and the cameras are all within 20 feet of the Node they are attached to as well. I never have issues with slow connection, slow response time, signal drops, etc. I do have a 1Gbps both up and down for my internet service, but I'm still limited by how fast the equipment itself can go. Ultimately, this hub could be better, but it is definitely already better than the Eufy option that I trashed. It runs everything very smoothly and I personally don't need more than 4 cameras live at once so it isn't a big issue for me, yet. I would assume at some point they will expand that or who knows, maybe come out with something else. For now, the H500 works extremely well and for most people I'm sure it will be more than enough.
r/Tapo · Do Tapo 4k cameras and H500 hub have sufficient quality and reliability to serve as home security camera system, when it really matters? I'm sure solar would work great, they make kits or add-ons for most cameras that can add solar. I've just been so impressed with the longevity of the cameras batteries that I haven't even really thought about it honestly. I've tried the connection both with the H500 hooked up via Cat6e and fiber internet or just using the WiFi mesh system I have. Very little to no change noticed. All the power lines in my neighborhood are buried in the ground so we have maybe 10 minutes a year without power. I have numerous power banks and blocks and UPS backups if need be though. The 4k pan/tilt cameras I have are the C560WS. It has a POE Ethernet port or a regular 120V port on it as well in case you want to power it via Ethernet. Lastly, I use a 1TB basic 2.5" SSD in the H500. No SD cards in any cameras at all. Everything runs to the H500 for recording. I get at least 100 recordings a day, mostly at 4k, and I formatted the drive on February 9th. I still have 343GB available on the drive. I will eventually either delete (a feature Tapo could add here) just a few months of recordings or will just mass delete it all when it gets close. It will of course just roll over and keep recording if I don't delete, but I don't think I need recordings from February and March anymore
r/Tapo · Do Tapo 4k cameras and H500 hub have sufficient quality and reliability to serve as home security camera system, when it really matters? Is it good enough? For most of us, YES! Will it work for you? Only you can answer that. Buy one of the 4k cameras, put it where you would put it, set it up in the app without the hub, and see how you like it. Personally I have a home where I had EVERYTHING with Eufy and threw it all in the trash and went with Tapo. The 4k camera quality is much better, the app is faster, the hub is better (mirroring and recording it better), and while there are some features I wish Tapo had in the app, it isn't a make or break reason to not buy them. My entire setup is on a mesh WiFi 7 system. I have two 4k pan/tilt cameras that are powered, two 4k bullet cameras that are battery powered, two C211 in the house that are of course wired, a 2k video door bell, a thumbprint enabled door lock, and the H500 connected to it all running it. Attached to the H500 i have a 2.5k 15" monitor used to live monitor the powered cameras and motion monitor the others. I have every camera on the highest of settings and frequencies to check for motion and anything else it will do. The battery life on everything is AMAZING. Both of my battery cameras have yet to be charged and I'm about 2-3 months in. The doorbell unfortunately requires it about once a month due to the activity but that's not an issue for me at all. All in all, the Tapo setup is just going to get better and hopefully features will improve as well. Eufy made it clear many times they don't care about their customers and their cameras and batteries leave a LOT to be desired.

r/Tapo · D235 and H200 or H500 I got a D235 and H500 a few weeks ago. The D235 is running on battery and the H500 is hard wired in to my network. Mines now working fine. To start with I did have a few instances where it reported there were "network issues".... initially I had the D235 connecting to the H500 directly (using it's own hot-spot) but there's a few walls between the two devices and wasn't sure how strong that signal was, so I changed the D235 to connect to my normal wi-fi network. I also turned off "wi-fi backup" (to stop it attempting to jump between what it thinks is the better signal). Since I have made these changes, all had been working fine since.

r/Tapo · What are great long-term local storage solutions for the TP-Link Tapo C120s besides Micro SD? I have had the H500 for over a month now, with 10 cameras. I don’t record continuously. I installed a cheap 1TB drive that cost me less than buying a bunch of smaller, high quality micro SD cards. Also, I didn’t need to climb the ladder to install the cards in the floodlight cameras, nor will I need to replace them should one go bad. Because the videos are stored to the drive in the H500 and the H500 is connected to my router via ethernet, I have found that clip playback is a much improved. As far as long-term storage goes, saving anything to a single drive is not a suitable long-term solution; however, the H500 has a USB port for manual backups. Depending on what you’re trying to accomplish, this might be good enough. Initial reviews were not favorable. The firmware was not great from what I understand and the purpose of the product is rather confusing. The H500 does add other features, such as AI recognition for older cameras, adding sensors, etc.
r/Tapo · What are great long-term local storage solutions for the TP-Link Tapo C120s besides Micro SD? Yeah. I was able to add AI features without replacing my older Tapo video doorbell, which was a nice bonus too. I didn’t think I would ever use their sensors, but my refrigerator stopped working, so I put one inside for an early warning if it happens again. With Matter support, I was able to add them to Apple Home easily.

r/Tapo · What are great long-term local storage solutions for the TP-Link Tapo C120s besides Micro SD? It depends on how much storage you need. If you run out of space, it will automatically loop-record (as long as you have that option enabled). I’m using a spare 256 GB SSD, and it gives me about a week of recordings before the loop kicks in but I also have five cameras, so that affects the duration. Some people use an external WD Purple surveillance HDD instead, since there are reports that the H500 can wear out an SSD over time because SSDs aren’t designed for continuous recording.
r/Tapo · What are great long-term local storage solutions for the TP-Link Tapo C120s besides Micro SD? There are plenty of NVRs available that work with Tapo cameras. I used to have my four cameras and one doorbell connected to my Synology, but I wasn’t happy with their performance. I bought the H500, and everything looks great so far. It might be worth ordering the H500 from Amazon, try it and if you don’t like it, you can always return it.

r/Tapo · H500 questions - will it help me The processing power available to cameras or the hub is tiny compared to what’s available for models running in the cloud. Local facial recognition pretty much works only under ideal scenarios. If you really wanted better facial recognition you would have to run Frigate or something and hook it up to a RTX graphics card.
r/Tapo · H500 questions - will it help me So if you record to the H500 instead of locally on the C575D you will have unified facial recognition on the hub instead of individually on the C575D. That will make managing the poor facial detection easier.

r/Tapo · H500 power outage requires HD format Very much no, but I suppose it is possible with any device losing power unexpectedly. Before resetting, I may have recommended just manually rebooting or reseating the drive to see if the hub just couldn't read it on first boot before assuming the drive was corrupted, and footage lost. Once the drive is formatted, everything is removed from the drive and previous recordings erased, so it should be a last option.

r/Tapo · Recommendations for 2.5inch SATA HDD/SSD for Tapo H500 (Australia) I can confirm that the drive from a Seagate portable drive will work in the H500. I had originally put a small SSD in my H500, but wanted more capacity for 24/7 recording. I had an old 1TB Seagate portable drive sitting around, so I pulled it apart and installed it in the H500. Works perfectly fine. On the portable drive I used, the end with the USB connector just pulled right off. I did have to use some tools to pry open the remainder of the case. u/dimspace makes a good point about using a SSD in the H500. The continuous write cycles from 24/7 recording will significantly shorten the lifespan of the drive. When I pulled the SSD out of my H500 it was also quite hot, again from the constant writing.

r/Tapo · Do Tapo 4k cameras and H500 hub have sufficient quality and reliability to serve as home security camera system, when it really matters? Thank you - great insights! Will then wire the cameras where this is straight forward, but otherwise rely on the solar/wifi model where its more cumbersome if we had to wire-connect them all the way. Our hub/switch is all powered behind UPS, so that will do in case of power cuts also. Impressive that you have still so much space left on your SSD, so tells me that a 1TB or 2TB size will more than suffice for us here also. Agreed, it would be helpful with a function one day, that maybe could auto-delete recordings more than 3 months old.

r/Tapo · What are great long-term local storage solutions for the TP-Link Tapo C120s besides Micro SD? My experience is similar. I’ve been running the H500 for a couple of months with 5 cameras and the only issue I’ve had is that one of my cameras is not yet compatible with the hub for storing recordings. An update is supposed to be coming, and it’s a camera that the features outweighed the fact that I’ll have to wait a bit to enable the central recording. It’s also not in a high traffic location that triggers a lot of recording (interior of detached garage/shop that stores cars that are not driven daily). The H500 was a breeze to set up, super easy to add addition storage by installing a hard drive, and blends seamlessly into the Tapo environment (apps, etc.). If your main concern is central recording with plenty of storage space, I think you’ll find the H500 does the job well. I can’t speak to the performance of the additional AI features or things like automations, as I haven’t used any of those, but those seemed like the areas where people were underwhelmed in the reviews I read.

r/Tapo · H500 vs Micro SD cards Battery cameras: SD cards Wired cameras: H500 Do note that if you do get robbed by someone with a wifi jammer, H500 will be rendered useless and no footage would be saved.

r/SecurityCamera · Security camera needed for my small house under 1k AUD please Buena elección. La H500 con solo 2 cámaras es "demasiado" ahora pero exactamente la decisión correcta si piensas escalar (añadir cámaras después es trivial y no tienes que reemplazar el hub). La C245 con PoE también es más estable que solar para cámaras permanentes si en algún momento puedes pasar un cable. Sobre la durabilidad: las Tapo en general aguantan bien a la intemperie dentro de su rango IP, el punto débil suele ser la exposición UV directa prolongada en climas muy soleados. Si puedes darles algo de sombra sin perder ángulo de visión, alargan bastante la vida útil. Suerte con la instalación, y si el soporte de canaleta da problemas con el peso de la C245 ya sabes dónde preguntar.

r/Tapo · H500 wont connect to wifi Suggerisco di iniziare con un hard-reset dell'Hub H500 ed un riavvio del router. Il tentativo di connessione in modalità wireless dell'H500 potrebbe fallire se il tuo router principale trasmette solo a 2.4 GHz poiche' ha bisogno della frequenza 5 GHz (o se le frequenze non sono separate correttamente e lo smartphone si aggancia alla 2.4)

Questions fréquentes
Le Tapo H500 fonctionne-t-il sans abonnement ?
Oui, les utilisateurs Reddit confirment que les vidéos peuvent être enregistrées localement sur le disque du H500 sans service cloud. Ils apprécient cette solution, notamment pour éviter de multiplier les cartes microSD.
La reconnaissance faciale du H500 est-elle fiable ?
Non, le consensus Reddit est très négatif. De nombreux utilisateurs signalent des visages connus classés comme inconnus, même après un long apprentissage, et certains finissent par désactiver cette fonction.
Le H500 peut-il enregistrer toutes les caméras en continu ?
Pas dans toutes les configurations. Les utilisateurs Reddit rapportent une capacité limitée pour l’enregistrement continu simultané, les autres caméras devant alors se contenter des événements, avec des restrictions supplémentaires sur certains modèles à batterie.
Le stockage est-il facile à installer ?
Les utilisateurs Reddit trouvent généralement l’installation d’un disque interne simple et rapide. Un disque externe ne peut toutefois pas servir directement de stockage principal, et le coût du disque doit être ajouté à celui du hub.
