Hi! I've tried used ffprobe utility and setting video quality in the Tapo app to fetch information about the video streams

 

Command: ffprobe -hide_banner rtsp://hkskoglund:*@192.168.3.69/stream1 2>&1 | grep -i video

 

Tapo C320WS

 

2K QHD (2560x1440px) :  Stream #0:0: Video: h264 (Main), yuv420p(tv, progressive), 2560x1440, 15 fps, 20 tbr, 90k tbn
1080P:                               Stream #0:0: Video: h264 (Main), yuv420p(tv, progressive), 1920x1080, 15 fps, 20 tbr, 90k tbn

720P:                                 Stream #0:0: Video: h264 (Main), yuv420p(tv, progressive), 1280x720, 15 fps, 20 tbr, 90k tbn

 

Tapo C200

 

1080P:                               Stream #0:0: Video: h264 (High), yuvj420p(pc, bt709, progressive), 1920x1080, 15 fps, 15 tbr, 90k tbn

720P:                                 Stream #0:0: Video: h264 (High), yuvj420p(pc, bt709, progressive), 1280x720, 15 fps, 15 tbr, 90k tbn

360P:                                 Stream #0:0: Video: h264 (Main), yuvj420p(pc, bt709, progressive), 640x360, 15 fps, 15 tbr, 90k tbn

 

Observations

 

TapoC320WS

 

2K/1080P/720P are encoded with Main profile (was expecting High profile since the Tapo C200 delivers streams in high profile?)

 

 

Tapo C200

 

When changing profile to 360P, the 1080P and 720P streams are encoded using Main profile/was High profile based on ffprobe. Restarting the camera will reset 1080P/720P to high profile.

 

Test falling snow:

 

Tapo C200 /1080p high profile (can see snow flakes)

 

 

Tapo C320WS (1080P main profile: hard to see any snow flakes)

  @hkskoglund 

Hi,
In this case, the location of the camera and the surrounding environment may affect the test results. Would you please try to turn on the white light on the Tapo C320WS and then check if it can see snowflakes at the 1080P profile?
Or you can place the Tapo C320WS and the Tapo C200 at the same location to compare, and check if they can see snowflakes when placing at the same location.
Best Regards
