Easily add HDD for significant bump up in storage capacity
Am very pleased with all of the TAPO products that I have purchased (hub, camera(S), door bell, extender(S). The hub provides an easy way to integrate and centralize all of my storage needs.The migration from my older (smaller) TAPO hub was painless and went very well, i few clicks and a complete read {strongly suggested} of the instructions. I especially like (and use) the HDMI out port of the hub, the carousel option for displaying the feeds was well thought out, again, read the instruction (at least for the FIRST TIME). Because i have an easy and available HARD-WIRE connection in my home office, that is what I used for the initial setup, again fairly straight forward.The FORMAT function of BOTH the internal hard drive added to the hub & the (SD chip) for the cameras was straight forward and required very little learning curve. Although a network cable was included, personally I would have appreciated an HDMI cable. One of my OUTSIDE cameras is in a far corner of my house and the hub provided a bit of a needed boost to reach that far flung camera. The ability to do an auto fall back in case of a wifi deficiency is appreciated, the cameras figure out if it is better to latch onto the WIFI modem (most of the cameras) or to attach to the HUB (few of the cameras) based on the signal strength in that area. The phone app for the TAPO family is reasonably well thought out and designed and it was easy to add the HUB to the app. The HUB brings some neat EXTRA features in to the scenario with regards to AI.I know that TAPO is a separate company from AMAZON and with a small amount of coaxing I was able to integrate the whole collection into the ALEXA universe, a wee bit more explanation of the integration process would have saved me a bit of time and frustration. ESPECIALLY where and WHAT the device ICON is (and looks like) with-in ALEXA.The HUB, like all of the other TAPO products does NOT (REPEAT NOT) REQUIRE a subscription, this was an important point for me to consider as I have several (6 +) of TAPO products. The SD chip that was in my OLD TAPO hub was able to be re-purposed into one of my new cameras for local redundant local on camera storage. I have not yet needed the expert assistance of TAPO support, but I hear they do a really good job.The several iterations I have of TAPO devices, have all been thoughtfully designed and as I have acquired additional devices my satisfaction has been fortified and increased.

Good Bye Blink. Hello Tapo.
I had already installed numerous Tapo devices (P125M plugs, C510W and C121 cameras, and D210 doorbells.) These were replacements for Blink devices. I have spent a number of years and a lot of dollars trying to get Blink devices to work. A very frustrating and marginally successful experience. If I had a dollar for every error message I got from Blink, I could have paid for this new system. Tapo equipment and software have been FAR superior to Blink in my experience. Blink sort of worked. Tapo just plain has worked. Your experience may vary from mine. The Tapo app is very smooth, doesn’t cost anything if you use local storage, and is almost glitchless. The one thing I haven’t liked is having to use a separate microsd card for each camera. The cost of the cards does add up and if someone steals the camera they also steal your record of them stealing the camera. I wanted to have centralized local storage. So that is the main reason I bought and installed this H500. It has worked flawlessly. I installed a Crucial MX500 two terabyte drive and achieved my main goal. The H500 detected all of my existing Tapo equipment without a hitch. Today I installed the excellent DL110 door lock (replacing a Sifely, which was a bit finicky) with no problem and intend to install a few of the Tapo smart bulbs. One important thing to do is enable “wifi backup” on your connected devices. I have had almost no signal problems since enabling — unlike Blink. This integrates well with Alexa, though image quality through the Tapo app is better than Alexa. I like using Alexa routines for controlling everything, since I have some non Tapo plugs and lighting that Alexa routines handle very well. In summary — an easy install and a good way to integrate the components of a very user friendly security/home monitoring/lighting system. One other thing I like about the Tapo app is that it works well with either a tablet or phone — it switches between landscape and portrait mode seamlessly. Wish the H500 had been less costly, but it is worth the price to me.

Good locally hosted option for Tapo ecosystem
Works well for a “locally hosted” video surveillance appliance.Integration with existing Tapo devices was easy and didn’t take long.It took a little bit of time to understand how to use the H500’s capabilities through the (Android) app. However, once I got used to it, it’s actually very useful.Really like the facial recognition features.One good thing to note, because the video is now stored on the H500’s disk drive (which I installed as part of the setup), viewing videos from the cameras is much more responsive.

Item parecia ser velho e até usado, com plástico já amarelado e com manchas. Solicitei devolução e foi muito complicado, pois era importação, mas consegui. Além disso o sinal de radio desse item não é compatível com os produtos Tapo vendidos no Brasil (informação importante que não é especificada)

Fácil instalación y integración del hub con los otros equipos Tapo que ya tenía. Estoy por instalar más cámaras Tapo, ya veré qué tal funciona la grabación centralizada. Los acabados y accesorios se ven de calidad y no he tenido problemas al usarlo.

Wow

Easy to setup, linked with the app and wifi with no issues. I already had a Tapo doorbell so I was similar with the app, but pairs easy to items that require a hub. Its a small device so you can hide it easy in a home server rack or shelf in the basement.
