Description
In response to the following situations regarding the Tapo H500, our R&D team has implemented relevant optimizations. Before the official release, a beta version is available for community users to try out.
1. The hub stops reading the capacity of BOTH the inserted hard disk and internal storage. The Storage option cannot be accessed in the app, showing no response. The internal storage remains unreachable even after removing the hard disk.
2. Relevant issues of facial recognition.
Solution
Relevant modifications are included in the latest firmware 1.3.1 Build 20250822 rel.65691, which has started to be released now.
The new firmware will be released in stages. Before the full release, it is normal that some devices cannot receive the latest version while other does. If your device hasn't received the new version, please wait patiently as the release scale will be increased gradually.

@Wayne-TP Hi, I'm not sure when the latest firmware update is coming out for the H500 / C260 but as it stands l'm unable to continually record my C460 onto the hub as it's not compatible for continually recording yet.
Also have 3 C260 cameras and they Won't connect to the H500 Hub either, as they require a firmware update.
Given Ive got a H500 hub, 3x 260 cameras and 1x C460 camera, my experience so far isn't going well.
Regards
Dave
