Tapo HybridCam 360 is engineered for comprehensive and adaptable
surveillance, starting with its ultra-clear 2K 3MP live view to

black-and-white surveillance. Smart Mode automatically switches
between color and IR night vision based on ambient light levels.

Review: Excellent Camera – No Subscription Needed! - ve purchased
this camera multiple times, and it has been consistently
reliable. The video quality is excellent — the 2K resolution is
very clear, and the pan/tilt feature makes it easy to cover a
large area without needing multiple cameras. One of the biggest
advantages for me is the local storage option. I don’t have to
pay a monthly subscription fee, which saves money over time. Just
insert a microSD card and you’re good to go. Setup was simple,
the app is easy to use, and the motion detection works well. It’s
great for both indoor and outdoor use. Overall, this is a
high-value product with solid performance and no forced
subscription costs. I highly recommend it!
Review: Versatile Camera with Good Video Quality and Recording to
MicroSD Card - Great camera, good app, and RTSP works perfectly.
No need to pay a monthly fee for a cloud account to save the
videos, this one records to a microSD card (purchased separately)
and plays the recording back on demand. It supports microSD sizes
up to 512 GB, so you should never run our of storage space for
motion triggered recordings. Even if you did run out of storage,
this camera has a continuous loop setting to just record new
videos over the oldest saved recordings. You can set triggers for
recording (with optional phone alerts) when the camera detects
motion, a person, or both. So far, the person detection seems
accurate, even at a distance of 100 feet. I intend to rely
primarily or exclusively on person detection to minimize the
number of recorded videos of raccoons and bunnies, etc. You can
turn off or adjust the sensitivity of both types of detection
independently, which is nice. I had read reviews of Tapos that
didn't display their RTSP stream while recording to the micro SD
card, but this model streams RTSP even with a microSD card
inserted and recording motion. Admittedly, I haven't tested the
RTSP while actively recording due to a motion trigger, but at
least when configured to record to microSD, the RTSP stream still
works great. I bought two, and both worked perfectly out of the
box. I didn't even have to retype my WIFI password for the second
camera, it remembered it from the first camera. The video quality
is good, even in low light conditions when using the daytime
settings (both my cameras are behind windows, so I cannot use the
built-in LED light to illuminate because the light reflects off
the glass). See the attached photos taken in the daylight (and
some smudges on the window), at night with a separate flood
light, and completely in the dark. With the flood light on at
night, the camera picks up colors really well, with better night
vision than I have. The app is fairly intuitive and easy to use.
It offers excellent features, like turning the status light off,
setting up the RTSP account, specifying when to save photos to
the micros SD card (on motion trigger or continuously), and a
host of other features. I returned a WYZE Cam V4 because WYZE no
longer supports RTSP streaming. This Tapo does it, and makes it
easy to set up.
