Tapo H500 Smart Hub, White

Carte microSD sur plusieurs caméras ou un hub h500 il devient rapidement économique. La gestion devient aussi plus facile.

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.

Some features doesn't work in india and it's not so far worth buying it

Funciona perfecto e incluye los tornillos para el disco duro (eso le ganó las 5 estrellas). Si no puedes enlazar tus cámaras intenta actualizar el firmware del HUB, eso resolvió todo para mí.

This is a really great product with the features I needed and a lot of additional features that many others will find useful. Setup was easy. (They're not kidding when they say you should plug it DIRECTLY into your router's Ethernet port. I suggest NOT using WiFi or Ethernet hubs/switches.) It works with a bunch of cameras (I tried three different models) and the app works smoothly with a user interface which is more intuitive than any I've used before. This hub allows me to operate my security camera system completely off-line storing all my content locally, or using their cloud service. Customer support is outstanding and I highly recommend this product and this company.
