Get yourself the 320WS and pair it together with this and you have a perfect security pair. Differences are the 320WS has line crossing, area intrusion whereas the 520WS doesnt but has other functions. You need both a fixed and a P&T in a proper security situation.

Really well done and well recorded review. Thank you. I have two questions; 1. Can the camera be set to record only when motion is detected with a short duration? Or is it recording full-time without the ability to defeat that? 2. If there is a power outage and/or a wifi outage, does the camera reconnect with the wifi on it's own once power restored? That's the behavior that I get with some Ctronics cameras I have. Thanks

I know this is somewhat apples and oranges but did you find this more reliable than the C125 you reviewed a couple weeks ago? I just returned 2 of those yesterday because they kept dropping offline/no response. These were going in baby/toddler rooms and no way they were getting spouse approval with poor connectivity. I have access points in the rooms so it makes no sense. And yeah I agree bummer on no HomeKit support for this one. Great video man, thanks for what you do.

Very strange. I’m still using the C125 & I’ve had zero issues. I’ve found it to be a great camera. I also have several customers who have the C125 and they all love it. Did you troubleshoot with their tech support? If it’s happened with two of them (ruling out you have a bad camera), it has to be a network issue & those are usually solvable. The two cameras are comparable feature wise, the C520WS is just built more durable since it’s made for outdoors.

2k is nice but thats only live or? Save to sd storage is reduced to 720 is it 2k in tapocare? So picuturequality on stored videos that I think are most interesting in a surveillance point of view is poor? Think it will be hard having good readings of licence plates with 720? Another thing to think of is that only the camera is ip66 not the poweradapter itself but it should of course have been too. To use the camera outside safely the poweradapter should have been ip66 too, but u actually have to buy and put it inside a ipxx proof box not to shortcut in heavy rain and moisture. I DO Like the line crossing feature but missing LPR licence plate recognition. Have u tested some LPR cameraes too?
@GeorgeLangabeer
6 ай бұрын
Tapo gives you options. It can be 2K live or recorded. I wouldn’t do a review on a camera that only had a 720p option. It wouldn’t be worth my time in 2024. Nest is pretty much the only brand that makes a weatherproof power cord & it’s unfortunate they are the only one. License plates are never going to be guaranteed. I don’t care what the resolution is. Capturing License plates is all about angle & conditions. If all the above don’t line up it’s not happening. LPR cameras are a huge waste of money for a house. LPR cameras are designed for a controlled environment under controlled conditions. I have used several LPR cameras in a business setting. But you’ll never see me review one, because they don’t make sense on a house & my videos are geared for homeowners.
