What would make me buy the H500
I've recently moved wholesale from Arlo (12+ cam areas and years of subscriptions) to the tapo family... 4k C660 and 460's so far...
What I miss or what I'd love is
1..Thumbnail alerts - on my phone from the hub
2..Ability to edit AI tags - a pet can be an animal like a deer and give me AI for the cat and dog like people recognition Kitty and dog Alfie... Arlos also gave a really nice vehicle enrichment where I could tag amazon UPS and FedEx trucks along with teslas etc... let the hub be a RAG SLM
3..Hybrid storage model meaning use local on camera for 7/24 and hub for combining multiple alert feed footage
4.. Re #3 ... would love to get a correlated alert timeline from the hub not just individual cameras.. a hub should provide a blended view stacks trigger alerts in time order...
Anyhow, so far i love the 7/24 with solar and 5s intervals, pulling a timelapse is cool... like the form factors of the cameras and image quality, FOV is a little limiting, C660 not getting to horizontal is annoying but all in all I am super happy to see the back of Arlo ...
Oh and Tapo picked up a bobcat last night that also walked within 8ft of an Arlo where the camera was still fast asleep and never triggered !... Shame on Arlo... good for Tapo !
