    How many concurrent streams in HomeKit does it support eg can you view live view on an iPad and iPhone at the same time like Aqara cams?
    And.. does the 30fps work in HKSV?

      It does! Changes the camera settings for use everywhere, including the home app

    How good are these for outdoor use? What other options would you recommend for an outdoor camera?

    • @beardfm
      @beardfm  7 месяцев назад +2

      They’re not weather-proof, but if they were in a covered area (like a patio) they can work that way! Otherwise the Eve Outdoor camera (which is a floodlight cam) is a great option. And Logitech Circle View has been decent, have two of those.

    Is the basic camera HSV compatible? It looks like there’s an answer from tp-link on the Best Buy page saying it isn’t compatible.

    How does this compare with Aqara g3 or g2h pro?

    • @beardfm
      @beardfm  7 месяцев назад

      I don’t have the g3, but the G2H is good. Also acts as an Aqara hub. But I find these are better quality video and a little more reliable.

    Confused - at 5:55 you said if you want 2K video recordings from the cameras, you will need the Tapo subscription. Based on other reviews I've seen, this is what the microSD card Is for, right? No subscription needed.

    • @beardfm
      @beardfm  5 месяцев назад

      You're correct, SD card recordings are 2K as well

    For me it only works in Home or in Tapo App. It can not be paired if it’s already connected to one of them. How did you do this?

      I connected to Home first, and then the Taco app gets access by opening your Home Data to the app

      Unfortunately not, you need to use the Tapo app to see 2K. But the Tapo app is pretty good now!
