Our community has rated this post as helpful. If you agree, why not thank holysin
Seems like Eufy is more popular around here ?
I do miss the rich alerts that eufy offered, but not enough to make up for the downsides vs the $30 tapo c120 (have not used this one and from the various reviews probably wouldn't recommend it over the c120 unless you absolutely need ptz as the 120 is a generation further along adds official indoor/outdoor usage as well as the beta sound alerts and better resolution/night vision.)
Edit: one thing that is missing from the tapo app vs eufy is the ability to temporarily mute alerts from a specific camera but hopefully they will add that soon as it's not a hard bit of coding (you have to either kill all alerts or set up a schedule neither of which appeals to me)
Not sure why, but I have had trouble getting my C210's RTS/ONVIF to work with some programs/apps. VLC and tinyCam Pro haven't worked for me, but iSpy and Home Assistant work. My Tapo C120 DOES work in tinyCam, though.

No one has mentioned what I feel is the biggest advantage of these, though. It's the way they interact with Alexa. Most cams can be viewed on Alexa Shows, but these cameras will generate a "there's a person" audio/video alert if the feature is turned on. I've only found one other brand that will do this and it's Wyze, but lets face it, Wyze cams have lots of reliability issues. Tapos don't, they're rock solid, especially the ones with Ethernet adapters such as the C320WS. This Alexa feature also makes it super easy to trigger Alexa routines with motion detection.
There is ONE drawback that might be a dealbreaker. You can only view the live feed of the camera on two sources at once. So if you're running it using ONVIF to a NAS or NVR, that's one. If I'm looking at it on my phone, that's 2. At that point no other device can access the stream. I'd like them to fix this "feature".
I'm hoping they'll soon release some Tapo 4k's.

in for four.
SD has let popular deals be shown on the main page with an orange tab. True FP deals get a FP Deal Editor's post put in at the top that is backdated to the same time the OP posted which is a weird thing to do. Then have a blue tab and say Front Page Deal when you click into the deal. I know it seems like semantics but according to SD that is the difference.
So, at the time I posted this, it has been deemed "Popular" by the SD algorithm, based on upvotes, and the same will happen if/when it gets enough attention/upvotes to get promoted to (true) FP. There is no set number of upvotes we can go by either. It's kind of like Amazon and their price fluctuations, based on browsing and sales stats per product. SECRET SAUCE.
