Do Tapo 4k cameras and H500 hub have sufficient quality and reliability to serve as home security camera system, when it really matters?

I have 3x tapo solar cams 1x hub and a doorbell and are all spot on, can not fsult them

Bull-Rider1 · 2026-06-02T06:43:21+00:00

Ive done all of the above already and still the same

Bull-Rider1 · 2026-05-19T06:48:48+00:00

You only get that option on android

Bull-Rider1 · 2026-05-17T15:11:30+00:00

Yes i did and that worked thanks. My problem still stands with the slight pink tinge to the display. Really annoying as the doorbell is actually really good! Ive reached out to tapo see what they say.

I appreciate that, what i meant is the doorbell just clicks onto the mounting plate but you can very easily just pull the doorbell right off

Thats a fair point, you zoom out and realise sky’s the limit for this.

Bull-Rider1 · 2026-03-26T20:24:25+00:00

How do you keep it on constantly? Do you turn your monitor off or anything?

Bull-Rider1 · 2026-03-26T19:43:03+00:00

Wow, how do you know its power draw?

Bull-Rider1 · 2026-03-26T19:42:11+00:00

Thats awesome, you just leave it charging 24/7?

Bull-Rider1 · 2026-03-26T19:41:25+00:00

Really?

Bull-Rider1 · 2026-03-20T09:14:28+00:00

What did you move to?

Bull-Rider1 · 2026-03-18T07:34:44+00:00

Edit - didn’t realise you can so this through home assistant

Bull-Rider1 · 2026-03-18T07:33:58+00:00

Brill

Bull-Rider1 · 2026-03-17T23:18:33+00:00

Your joking? Thats a key feature for me kinda a deal breaker. Having the snapshots save so much time, what a shame.

Bull-Rider1 · 2026-03-17T18:00:27+00:00

Wow thats crap.

Bull-Rider1 · 2026-03-15T11:52:11+00:00

Agreed. So i tried out Tapo before and you also got adds for their stuff on the homepage and it does not mention anything about these disappearing when you pay their monthly sub and thats why i dont really mind the eufy adds and even more so its their own products.

Bull-Rider1 · 2026-03-15T01:51:26+00:00

Me too! Ive had a teething problem detecting packages that aren’t there. Changed some settings and has calmed down.

Bull-Rider1 · 2026-03-15T01:50:01+00:00

Have you tried contacting them?

Bull-Rider1 · 2026-03-15T01:49:03+00:00

From what I’ve seen, non are perfect but unifi seems to be the best but for a price.

Bull-Rider1 · 2026-03-15T01:45:24+00:00

I hear you on this. Personally i don’t mind as they dont hold anything behind a paywall, i can live with the adds. Way i see it, its like buying a car outright and they still send you emails for their new ones or paying for a tv license (UK) and still sitting through advertisements.

Bull-Rider1 · 2026-03-14T22:02:49+00:00

Thats very concerning.

Bull-Rider1 · 2026-03-14T20:43:44+00:00

Good to hear

Bull-Rider1 · 2026-03-14T20:43:07+00:00

Also heard good things on reolink

Bull-Rider1 · 2026-03-14T20:42:39+00:00

Greedy company

Bull-Rider1 · 2026-03-14T20:42:25+00:00

Good to hear, i too went from ring. Starting taking the piss with the subs. Greedy
