H264, 2304 × 1296, 15 frames per second, color night vision (but not great), ONVIF & RTSP with recent firmware although not ONVIF profile T, meaning no 2-way audio over ONVIF, only app.
What I like is that it has motion tracking.

If it's truly really low light go ahead and spring for the color pro cameras in the Tapo lineup. I have not used one personally but I have seen the reviews so I actually purchased one today after seeing this deal post. You can get it for $50 in amazon resale after the discount. I have a couple other Tapo cameras and I love them so just purchased the one I linked below. My home front is bright enough this might not be needed and the posted one might be fine, but I'm going to test this color pro one there and out back too and see how well it works. If my link does not work just search for tapo colorpro or c325wb.https://a.co/d/6VSs5RR



The colorpro series are their best in low light, larger sensor and aperture for perter performance. From the product page "F1.0 Super-Aperture Lens & 1/1.79''Large Sensor-An F1.0 super-aperture lens captures 4× more the amount of light than F2.0 while the 1/1.79'' sensor has a larger target surface and higher sensitivity than normal 1/2.7'' sensors."

Pretty well, landed here after all the Eufy, Wyze, and others privacy/build issues. Camera hasn't failed me and you can set up individual zones and rules for tracking people/pets/cars/motion.

I just realized they aren't the same model, im walking about the one with antennas

Our community has rated this post as helpful. If you agree, why not thank holysin

Have a fair chunk of the PTZ tapos, note that on all of them the pan (especially follow) isn't great and will lose center the more you use it it's easy enough to reset but do not use the follow feature unless you absolutely have to as it will all but guarantee you'll lose center on a daily basis. I really like these at the regular price (I use the pan feature manually very occasionally), at this price it's a no brainer.

As camtek says if you've got seriously low light concerns get the 325 and use the built-in spotlight at like 10% and you will be amazed at quality (especially a used like new one for $48 as they currently are, I just bought another one 😂)

It has a function where it's supposed to turn on a spotlight when motion is detected.
That function DOES NOT WORK about 95% of the time.
Otherwise a fine camera.

So far I'm impressed with the camera - I got the V2 so it's 30 fps (This has to be increased from 15 in the settings). The firmware was 1.05 and it updated to 1.22. Power usage is 1.9 watts idle & live viewing. It's 2.75W with the light on the default brightness of 3 and 3.7W at max brightness. It looked unused except it wasn't in pairing mode so someone had at least tried to get it connected to their wifi. The speaker volume is surprisingly loud and the microphone is decent/average quality.
I haven't tested the motion detection because I'll be streaming to Frigate NVR on a Linux mini pc for analysis/notifications/recording. I used my remaining 40% off from the Citi offer to get two of these, one for $15 and the other for $23.
I would assume all recent models are V2's but you can tell as it says 9 volt adapter on the side box even before you open it.

Got a pair of these last yr, a warehouse used one and a new one, the new one worked fine,
the used one would reboot when using the pan/tilt on the live feeds. I dont think amz fully checks them.
New one has been working fine for the most part just gotta reboot it once in awhile.

Wonder if you a flash it with Thingino, like the C500. May be worth the gamble.

Does this camera work well without subscriptions? I assume you can access via wifi and retrieve SD data/video

It works well without the subscription. It doesn't nag you (so far), it does well reading the clips from microSD storage with only 1 active playback stream allowed as usual. I've had 3 live full res views active at once without a problem. It's easy to activate RTSP streaming and then you can view live from a computer (ffplay, VLC, etc) or a NVR. The subscription adds cloud storage and rich notifications (thumbnails in the notification alert). The subscription doesn't add any AI or other analysis that I can see.

The person detection is much better than I had read on some reviews, but this is going to depend on distance. On the playback page, each clip is shown with a orange running person (ironically that is a motion detection) or a picture of a blue torso with a head which is person detected. Over 15 clips it recorded yesterday, the person detection was 100% accurate (6 out of 15 clips), which I do not expect to always be the case, but I was surprised.

The pan & tilt is wonderful. Unlike some cheap pan & tilts, you can set 10 preset positions to move to at any time on the pan & tilt screen. This is not just pan in a direction, but you can pan to an absolute saved point. For earlier firmwares users reported some drift in position when returning to a point after a lot of movement over time. However, I haven't seen that yet so far in this current firmware.
The color night vision is also pretty good, with spotlight settings from 1 to 5. I've found it has much better detection at night in Infrared mode. There are 3 modes, Infrared (black & white), full color (spotlight will be on all night long), or smart. In smart mode, it uses infrared for detection and the first 15 seconds of an alert. Only then does it turn on the light and go full color which means you lose about 3 seconds of video during that adjustment.
