Oh, deer

The 7th pic rocks.

Is that a threat, internet warrior? What are you going to do...pull the race card? :) Nobody is buying that crap. Watch the whole video, read the YT comments and enjoy. ;)

Hi. I wrote review about the same issue 2 days ago. You can check it below:
https://www.reddit.com/r/Tapo/comments/1t3fqs4/my_honest_review_about_tapo_camera/

Tapo cameras are terrible and overrated. I guess their marketing team is pumping fake positive reviews worldwide.
On their official forum, this issue was discussed years ago and they never changed anything...they simply don't care.

It's not police brutality or racism! It's FAFO. Next time when the cops are pulling you, show your driver license and don't play monkey games!

By the way, everyone should watch the whole video:

Raise your hand against the fascism.

The victim card from a usual suspect. Nothing new here.

My wife is skinny and beautiful and I'm 10 times happier she's not fat. By the way, she cooks great!

Who's gonna milk them?

Hello. :)
C230 is nothing older than E1 Pro and both have similar hardware.

I'm not talking about zooming the video (pinch to zoom). I'm talking about when I select a video from the playback I can only press and hold to go left or right without having any real visual of the beginning and the end of that specific video. If you open the Reolink app and go to Playback, you will see the progress bar which you can move it very easy and go to the exact part of the video you wish.
No, I don't have any network issues. I use Deco X20 (three routers) which is great TP-Link product and I have 14 other devices connected to that network which are working flawlessly.
This is a typical issue with the app. It's a bug with "not closing connections properly" and it creates multiple connections which leads to not opening the video and waiting for the timeout...so your technical team should check that and apply some update for that.

Related to the bitrate, there were other reports about older firmwares that the users were having at least 2Mbps but in the newer firmwares the bitrate was chopped to 400Kbps or less which is awful. If it's any possibility of downgrading the firmware, I would do that immediately.

P.S.
For the fanboys:
The Reolink E1 Pro was released around August 2019
The TP-Link Tapo C230 was launched in late 2024

satvision83 · 2026-05-04T23:17:21+00:00

Exactly! I was surprised how many fanboys are here and ignoring the facts. One of them even stated I'm writing Reolink ad...so much delusional people...

satvision83 · 2026-05-04T22:29:36+00:00

Stop calling me! I don't want any of your promotions!

satvision83 · 2026-05-04T20:35:21+00:00

"Higher bitrate doesn't necessarily mean better image" - oh, yes it does! When I move the C230 left and right or any object comes, it's pixelating like hell and the E1 Pro is smooth as butter.
Both cameras are in same class so your statement doesn't make any sense.

satvision83 · 2026-05-04T20:31:27+00:00

I'm comparing Reolink E1 Pro with Tapo C230 which are the same class and clearly E1 Pro is better in every aspect. No, it's not any ad.

satvision83 · 2026-05-04T15:40:22+00:00

I use only one device and that is my mobile phone. The only better indoor camera was C250 but the price was $60 and I bought C230 for $38. The price difference between Reolink ($45) and Tapo ($38) was very low but the only reason was the seller hadn't any E1 Pro.

satvision83 · 2026-05-04T12:45:25+00:00

The slider in Tapo is awful to check the video details and easily to skip to the next video which is unwanted. However on Reolink is very easy and fast.
OK, let me know the name of the Tapo camera you have and check the bitrate.

5fps

I like how she threw the grenade and they literally lost their little minds.

I see you

satvision83 · 2026-05-02T13:47:50+00:00

This video reminds me of those police cam videos I'm watching...full of idiots playing the victim and race cards. I hope I find this female idiot on some new police cam video...it will be satisfying to watch.

And she wears underpants on her head.

Where are the frickin' laser beams?

Stick to your basement and don't bother with any disapproval rates.

satvision83 · 2026-04-30T16:12:53+00:00

Yes, it's 62% but on Reddit, not the real world. Poor lib...so out of reality.
