@Solla-topee The battery cameras can record to a hub so why not the wired cameras? Seems like a strange omission to me. Recording to the hub is far better for security and maintenance than an SD card inserted into the camera?

I'm essentially forced to choose between hub storage and having to swap the batteries every so often (outdoor cameras are often mounted high up so that's a pain).

Or I can have a wired camera, so I don't have to swap batteries, but can only record to an SD card locally in the camera? That would sort of make sense for a 1 camera setup, but if I have multiple cameras and have a hub why can I not use it?

Hi,
Since the Tapo C320WS can connect to the Wi-Fi or ethernet cable to go to the internet directly rather than needing to connect to the hub h200, and it has an SD card slot to insert an SD card, it's unable to store video recordings to the SD card inserted into the hub.

 

For your usage scenario, you can try to stream the camera on a PC/NVR/NAS via RTSP/ONVIF protocol and store the video recordings on the PC/NVR/NAS inside the house.
How to view Tapo camera on PC through RTSP stream?
How can I connect my Tapo camera to a NAS or NVR？
 

Best Regards

  @k_tibi This feature would be so handy. +1 from me.

Bought it thinking it would support all cameras.

Also don't understand why it can't. 

It is connected to wifi or LAN. 

It should be possible to set it up for RTSP ONVIF and just record to the SD card. 

Expecting most of the hardware should be able to because it already can record to SD from camera. Firmware updates maybe? 

Or it is a design flaw to only let this work for 3 types of camera's.

Yes, Please make it work for all the tp-link wifi cameras. I also bought the hub H200 thinking that I can use it with tapo C220.
