Hi,

Today morning my C520WS v1 devices finally got the latest FW and those are also able to save recordings to the H200 hub's SD card.

So, all my C520, both v1 & v2 cameras can fully operate together with the hub.

This feature is not supported on the C520WS V1 yet. The dates indicated in the compatibility list are for reference only. For accurate information, follow the new firmware release of the product, major updates and modifications will be listed in the release notes.

Hello!

 

Tapo H200 hub's camera compatibility list contains this information:

Tapo C520WS     2     July. 2025
Tapo C520WS     1     Compatible

 

Furthermore, the support pages for both versions show new firmware that support saving footage to H200.

My v2 device already got the new FW and it's fully working together with my H200 hub and it's possible to save recordings to SD card placed into the hub.

However, even if new firmware also available for the v1 devices, as support page state this, Tapo app doesn't show available FW to apply on my v1 devices.

It seems to me, compatible status is valid for v2 and compatibility list should be updated accordingly.

Or latest FW listed on support page should be available to download for v1 devices.

What is the reason behind that my v1 devices don't upgrade?

Thank you!

I've just seen on C520WS v1 support page under FW release notes section, a newer version (1.3.3) has been released today. Hoping that it will arrive to my v1 cameras and finally make that possible to save footages to SD card inserted into the H200 HUB. We will see...
