C325WB - Does it support POE?
I've bought a couple of Tapo cameras for work and i'm impressed so I'm looking to upgrade my Ring cameras at home for some Tapo ones as well.
The ring ones I've got are all POE for power and signal. The website doesnt make it clear if cameras like the C325WB and the C520WS for instance support POE?
If they do support it, will they work with 12v POE or will it need to be a 9v POE switch.
Thanks in advance.

Tapo C325WB V1 and Tapo C520WS don't support POE. However, the C325WB has a new hardware version, v2, which supports PoE (802.3af/at). You might consider getting a Tapo C325WB V2, or another model, the Tapo C501GW.
Note: The product hardware version is typically not an option available at the time of purchase. If you need to buy a specific hardware version, make sure to communicate and confirm with the retailer before making the purchase.
There are also ways to power a non-POE device through POE. Check this article if you're interest. How to Power Tapo Wired Camera with PoE

I am confused....
The camera description says that PoE is feasible.
I came here looking for what solution is possible if one does not have a PoE NVR or Switch.
Can we use something like TP-Link TL-POE150S?
But I am now reluctant to trust this community where @Wayne-TP ,supposedly a TP-Link member based on his profile name and picture tag, doesn't even know the description and specs of their own devices.

A new hardware version came, Tapo C325WB V2 supports POE, while the V1 does not. My previous reply has been updated, thank you for your feedback.

So how do I identify if it is version 2 that I am purchasing? Is there a different product number or someway to know that it is version 2 that I will get?

@Charles218 Check with the seller before purchasing, or visit the store and check it yourself. TP-Link - Where To Buy
