Feature Request: Tapo C420 Camera HDMI streaming from H500 Hub

2 weeks ago - last edited 2 weeks ago

Model: Tapo C420 Tapo H500

Hardware Version: V1

Firmware Version: 1.3.1

I have several Tapo C420 cameras that I have connected to AC power, but, when mirroring via HDMI from my Tapo H500 Hub, I am told that battery cameras will only show up in the HDMI stream if an event has triggered them to record. Fair enough if they are only on battery as full time monitoring would drain the battery very quickly, but if I have connected the optional AC power, could a firmware upgrade provide full time HDMI mirror support if C420 connected to power?

@BPCS

I don't have information about it at the moment. However, since the H500 is new product and the HDMI is also a new feature, I believe there is potential for future improvements. This is definitely something to look forward to.

Why don't you create a feature request post for it? Or, you could update the title and content of this post, then I can move it to the feature request block.
