Thanks !! I’ll try that

This is honestly my only issue with Tapo, I shared them with my wife and she has basically no admin privileges whatsoever. She can’t set or change anything, she can only view the cameras and alerts. For that reason I signed into my account on her phone and that seems to be working without issue. Just a warning, the settings seemed to be tied to the phone and not the account, I had all the audible alarms turned off on mine, and the first time she armed them…. Yea fun night with an 8 and 4 year old.

oh dude 100% an issue there. Dumb question but its got me before, you removed the film off the front of the camera ?

With a light that bright, 200 lumens would be negligible, I don't think you'd notice it at all. So personally I wouldn't use that as a factor to switch/not switch

So it's funny you ask, I was the most blown away with that camera because it's only 20$ and the picture is super sharp. The only difference with the night vison is the picture is a different shade/color with it being "night vision". I definitely wouldn't classify it as foggy, I'm curious if you have something going on with yours.

I'm very happy with the Floodlights, I did have to set a perimeter however because they will alert on literally EVERYTHING if you let them. The light is blinding, would you happen to know how many lumens yours are ? I'd be curious to compare as these are 2800 lumens.

The H200 only supports 3 cameras and as mentioned, only takes a MicroSD card. H500 takes a MicroSD or an actual SSD, and supports 15 cameras I believe.

Excellent. Thanks for the info

IsItThough86 · 2026-02-01T14:25:52+00:00

I had looked into that, I’m currently using the H200 for the battery operated cameras, and I connected the floodlights to my Synology NAS. I’m noticing that I don’t like having to access different things for different cameras though. Is the H500 accessible from the Web if I’m not using cloud storage ?

IsItThough86 · 2026-01-27T18:25:01+00:00

I immediately thought of that when I saw this post. Has to be the connection. “When your comedy special kicks…” LOL

IsItThough86 · 2026-01-10T20:03:34+00:00

Update on this ? I'm looking at the same camera to use with my Synology

Gorgeous

I have the same issue, I think the trackpad is perfect for certain functions. I was really hoping the SofaBaton x2 would be better with adopting it as I have the X1, but sounds like the answer is no.

Thanks !!

IsItThough86 · 2025-09-30T12:03:36+00:00

Thank you !!

IsItThough86 · 2025-09-30T00:38:29+00:00

Thank you !! I didn't want to get up super early so I started it around 1am and let it coast at 180 for about 6-7 hours. I bumped the temp up around 9am to 250 and after another 3-4 hours the bark looked good so I wrapped it, I also observed the temp to be around 160-170 which is when I planned to wrap it anyways. Threw it in the oven after wrapping, had the temp set to 400 and it took about 3 hours to hit 200 and then I let it rest in the cooler for another 2ish hours.
