TP-Link Tapo Smart Hub with Built-In Chime, REQUIRES 2.4GHz Wi-Fi, Connect up to 64 Smart + 4 Camera Devices, Sub-1G Low-Power Wireless Protocol, 512GB Local Storage, Tapo H200

It’s cheap. And it’s good. Not necessarily in that order
This is a totally logical step if you own Tapo cameras. A complete no-brainer. It works intuitively just like all the rest of Tapo’s stuff, is solidly built like the rest of Tapo’s stuff, offers solid and practically limitless add-on storage capacity options and easily connects via HDMI to view cameras on a proper monitor. It’s just the natural addition for anyone with Tapo cameras and far more economical and private than a cloud subscription or buying memory cards for individual cameras. I’m no big worshipper of tech, but working in the industry I can tell you this does pretty much everything an expensive commercial system like Axis does with greater ease at a fraction of the cost. The entire Tapo ecosystem is well designed, well built and easy to adopt and expand. What’s not to like except like everything else, it’s sadly not Made in USA. But neither is Axis…

Good Bye Blink. Hello Tapo.
I had already installed numerous Tapo devices (P125M plugs, C510W and C121 cameras, and D210 doorbells.) These were replacements for Blink devices. I have spent a number of years and a lot of dollars trying to get Blink devices to work. A very frustrating and marginally successful experience. If I had a dollar for every error message I got from Blink, I could have paid for this new system. Tapo equipment and software have been FAR superior to Blink in my experience. Blink sort of worked. Tapo just plain has worked. Your experience may vary from mine. The Tapo app is very smooth, doesn’t cost anything if you use local storage, and is almost glitchless. The one thing I haven’t liked is having to use a separate microsd card for each camera. The cost of the cards does add up and if someone steals the camera they also steal your record of them stealing the camera. I wanted to have centralized local storage. So that is the main reason I bought and installed this H500. It has worked flawlessly. I installed a Crucial MX500 two terabyte drive and achieved my main goal. The H500 detected all of my existing Tapo equipment without a hitch. Today I installed the excellent DL110 door lock (replacing a Sifely, which was a bit finicky) with no problem and intend to install a few of the Tapo smart bulbs. One important thing to do is enable “wifi backup” on your connected devices. I have had almost no signal problems since enabling — unlike Blink. This integrates well with Alexa, though image quality through the Tapo app is better than Alexa. I like using Alexa routines for controlling everything, since I have some non Tapo plugs and lighting that Alexa routines handle very well. In summary — an easy install and a good way to integrate the components of a very user friendly security/home monitoring/lighting system. One other thing I like about the Tapo app is that it works well with either a tablet or phone — it switches between landscape and portrait mode seamlessly. Wish the H500 had been less costly, but it is worth the price to me.

Fácil instalación y integración del hub con los otros equipos Tapo que ya tenía. Estoy por instalar más cámaras Tapo, ya veré qué tal funciona la grabación centralizada. Los acabados y accesorios se ven de calidad y no he tenido problemas al usarlo.

contrario a las malas criticas . todo perfecto hasta ahora lo unico es que detecta la ropa tendida como personas y me llega notificaciones a cada rato
