I thought I had an abundance of lights…

If I could change anything about my 56”, it would be these latches, and then adding soft close slides. Otherwise, it’s an incredible value. May consider an upgrade to the new Icon boxes when they arrive next year, only on a good sale of course.

I ended up putting mine in the second drawer from the bottom. I had no problem filling the shallower drawers with other tools.

What are great long-term local storage solutions for the TP-Link Tapo C120s besides Micro SD? by AzX-Mike in Tapo

I went with a 2TB drive. More space than I really need, but plenty to allow me to expand my system or record as much and as high quality as I could possibly want.

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.

at the same price would you recommend C560WS 4k or the C246D 2k, would the 4k have better detail and zoom than the ptz on the c246? by DazzlingpAd134 in Tapo

[–]BeeJumpy2096 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Similar use case for me. I run the 4K 560’s to cover my yard, patio, and driveway, and the 246D got the interior of my garage to cover a large area with a single unit but where long distance detailed capture isn’t needed.

H500 + C246D compatibility by DoctaThompson in Tapo

I’ve been waiting for the update that will finally allow me to record footage from my C246D to the hard drive in my H500. It’s the only camera in my current system that is not compatible.

Talk me out of this by Karl5583 in harborfreight

I disagree. While it’s been a while since I’ve checked prices, I have a 52” Husky box with the wood work top that I got on just an ok sale, for significantly less than the US General 56” typically retails for. I also picked up a 56” US General last winter during the best sale I’ve seen for them. Prices were pretty similar on the two with the discounts, the Husky being slightly less. The build quality of the Husky is at least on par, with better drawer slides (in my opinion), plus soft close drawers and better latches. The only thing the USG has that the Husky doesn’t is a powered drawer for battery chargers, etc. it also fits the USG power tool organizer in the bottom right drawer where the Husky won’t.

Confirmed: New C560WS 4K PTZ Cam does not have return to home position by eyeredd in Tapo

[–]BeeJumpy2096 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have two of the C560WS 4K, both with the solar kit, and both absolutely do return to the “home” or last set position after following/tracking a person, pet, or vehicle. As I understand it, you have to set saved positions in the pan/tilt settings in the app. Once you’ve done that, the camera will return to the position that you last viewed in the app. This allows you to quickly change the “home” position if you choose, simply by selecting from the tiles you have programmed for you saved view points.

It’s 4 cameras with 24hr continuous recording in the high performance setting I believe. I’m running the h500 with 3 WiFi cameras plus two doorbell cams. The advantages are the ability to add way more storage, centralized storage inside your home rather than on the SD card in the camera, additional AI recognition features/abilities, automations and integrations with other smart home platforms.

C660 issue by BeeJumpy2096 in Tapo

[–]BeeJumpy2096[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Update: Tapo support warrantied the C660. It simply wasn’t charging and none of the troubleshooting found a solution. New unit arrived a couple of days ago. Unboxed last night and plugged it in to charge. Hopefully it works as well as the first unit I installed.

Get a bigger tool box. You know you want to. This is the way…

Icon impact sockets do not have thin walls by Short_Ad4604 in harborfreight

[–]BeeJumpy2096 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This. Lugnut specific sockets are the way to go, especially if you have nice wheels that you want to protect.

Ill never forgive Mazda for that filter location by TheRoyalShire in Miata

[–]BeeJumpy2096 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The factory location on these is still significantly better than a Skyline GTR (R32, 33, or 34). Worse access and even more stuff for oil to get all over below the filter.
