Model: Tapo H500  
Hardware Version: V1
Firmware Version:

 

 

I have concerns/confusion about if the H500 hub will work for my setup. Will my wired cameras still work as wired or does every camera need to connect straight to the hub wirelessly?

 

I have these camera wired to a POE switch/Ethernet. I want the 24/7 footage & clips stored.

 

2 x C310 v2 (1 can be clips on due to limits until you allow the planned 6)

3 x C325WB (2 v1 & v2, v2 will be POE only) 

 

Also need to backup these clips only.

2 x C460

2 x C425 v2

1 x C125

 

All are on compatibility lists.

 

Also if I happened to lose power to that hub (working on getting a UPS already) or the internal network is down.. are the wireless cameras still recording to the SD card as backup? Then they will backup to the hub again once it shows up online?

Hub storage feature works for the cameras that under the same network as the hub, it doesn't matter whether the camera is connected through WiFi or ethernet.

 

When the camera loses connection to the hub, the video will be stored to its own microSD card (if any) automatically. Once the connection is restored, it will switch to the hub automatically.
