    Hmm loooks tempting if i want to get completely into the Tapo ecosystem. Got a couple cameras and tossing up a floodlight.

    • prisofreedom on 21/09/2025 - 16:28

      For what it's worth, I went full into Tapo when choosing a doorbell.

      Long story short, I now have a doorbell, multiple indoor and outdoor cameras, multiple smart switches and a floodlight and I can say the floodlight is pretty damn good. Prob my fav of all my tapo devices. The light gets hella bright, it detects well and appropriately, the install (while I needed an electrician) was easy and straightforward and it loads fast on the app. Really pleased with it. Of course YMMV but from my experience, it's been good! Hope this helps.

        does it all still work if you have an internet outage? everything I'd read about the tapo stuff was it needing internet (except perhaps the new Matter compatible stuff)

    If I go all in with Matter will this be a good option? I've got two tp link solar cameras atm

      It's still much more secure than having cameras outdoors that record to their SD cards - these can be simply taken away with no record at all of the footage.

      If I was a thief and I saw this, I probably wouldn't know what the heck it was.

        If I was a thief, this would be the least o my worries - I would be wearing a balaclava and would be covered head to toe lols.

      If someone breaks in, I think you have more things to worry about then them targeting this device.

  • edrift on 21/09/2025 - 09:38

    Has any used this as an onvif NVR? I.e not specifically with only tapo cameras

    Seems like good value if it can record 24x7 for 16 cameras

  • Patman on 21/09/2025 - 10:00

    Can this double up as a NAS? Would provide functionality of NAS + Plex?

    If you add 1 of each from the shop more and save promo, you double dip the stacking for a 25% off. Eg. 1 bulb, 1 rgb bulb and this hub = $170.25 total. Bulbs will be $8 and $13.50. The hub will be $147.75. Multiples of 1 item doesnt work for some reason

      Good spotting!

    • organamisms on 21/09/2025 - 10:47

      This is awesome, thanks so much for pointing that out! Made this purchase a no-brainer for me.

    • interfreak on 21/09/2025 - 11:05

      Just tried to order using this method, the order seemed to go through - then Amazon temporarily locked my account. Once I reset it and logged in, the order was gone…

      • Dream-cast on 21/09/2025 - 11:31

        No issues here

        • interfreak on 21/09/2025 - 11:44

          Just placed another order, seemed to go through OK this time.

    • Dolt2020 on 21/09/2025 - 12:26

      great spot - some of the popular cameras are also at lower prices so grabbed the hub , a camera and 5 port switch all for $195.

      I had had the cheaper 4 camera hub on watch for a while, but this is so much better.

      Thanks

    • hluu0111 on 21/09/2025 - 14:07

      Great find! Worked for me.

    • MrPresident on 21/09/2025 - 17:30

      $165, thank you.

  • Lone star on 21/09/2025 - 11:39

    Very tempting, but Black Friday is not far away. Wonder if it would be cheaper than this deal. 🤔

  • GafanhotoB on 21/09/2025 - 13:43

    If you have QNAP Nas it will give you for free up to 2 camera recording.

    • wwwboy on 21/09/2025 - 14:47

      same for Synology

    Kmart need to buy these to install at each store for facial recognition… /s

  • congo on 21/09/2025 - 17:03

    Doesnt work with some older devices

    Ordered today and recieved today. I had no issues setting it up or connecting my c211 cameras. It's now saving footage to the harddrive which can be expanded via usb or ssd. Im going to run out of space pretty quickly though. 1:30 min of clips is about 500mb. I don't think the c211 cameras use any video compression? Overall pretty happy with it.

    Price has changed to $229
