C200 Panorama hardware version V3 vs v5
This thread has been locked for further replies. You can start a new thread to share your ideas or ask questions.
I have two C200 cameras, one HW v3 and the other v5.
Surprisingly, the two cameras of the same model have reached very different firmware versions (v3 1.4.1, v5 1.1.4), which gives different capabilities to each of the HW versions.
e.g., v5 has a 1080 selector on the live view, absent in v3. More annoyingly, v5 is missing the panoramic scan option in the Pan&Tilt section, so you cannot scan the room and then point at specific sectors to look at on a picture. Another missing functionality is the Google Home integration and streaming possibility from v5.
Are there any plans to add the missing functionalities?
Anybody experiencing similar issues?
How can the buyer be sure about what HW version they are buying before they get to open the box?
PS: I manually searched for newer firmwares for v5, and nothing pops up in the app. Even worse, V5 does not even pop up in the options on the official support page: https://www.tp-link.com/dk/support/download/tapo-c200/
