    Excellent product, I have installed 6 cameras, 4 of them record 24/7 and the other two with motion (ATTENTION: ONLY 4 cameras can record 24/7), the others you connect can only record with motion detection! I installed a 500GB SSD drive and they record for 15 days! No extra micro SD cards in the cameras.
    All are installed on a first-floor balcony with a lot of beams all around! They are connected to 2 tplink deco in a 140sqm house, no disconnections for 6 months now.
    There is also a related video for anyone who wants to take a look

    Top company, top product! Of course, it requires the purchase of a hard drive, which is quite expensive these days, so the overall setup becomes very costly... Ideally, the HUB should be connected to the network with an ethernet cable. I don't understand why some people mention camera disconnections.. if the cameras have a good internet/network signal where the HUB is connected, there is no issue at all. It's a one-way street if you have a tapo camera and sensor ecosystem!

    Unfortunately, my experience was not very good (even though I am a fan of TP/LINK & Deco). Whenever I connect the h500 to the network (either via wifi or via lan) of the Deco (x60) mesh, it crashes and the red light on the deco blinks. I see quite a few such comments on reddit and the tp-link user forum about this problem. I hope it will be resolved with a firmware update for the H500.

    Easy to install and set up, but it has one flaw I can't forgive. It doesn't do live streaming on the TV for cameras that work with battery and solar panel. I understand, it makes sense to keep battery usage low, but those are the ones you want to watch all the time!!! I will be forced to buy others that work with power. It can accept up to 16 cameras, which it shows on the TV in groups of four.

    It is not good that you cannot view and use cameras from another house you have set up and see the image wherever you are.
    Also, many camera models are not supported and it is not certain that this will change with new firmware

    Very nice tool, I got cameras that were compatible with the hub and thus I saved the cost of having an SD card for each camera. It also connects to the TV and works like a regular recorder

    Very useful and considering that you also save on the Tapo cloud subscription, it is definitely worth its money. What I couldn't achieve, no matter what I did, was to make it sound from the alarms of the existing cameras even though all of them are on the list of supported products.

    The AI for facial recognition is all over the place, it sees the plant as a person.
    It also gives an alarm for cats, recognizing them as people too.
    The rest of the Tapo ecosystem is worth it, they work perfectly (temperature sensors, leak sensors, plugs, etc.).
