Feature Request: Support for H.265 Codec and Higher Bitrate Options on All Tapo Cameras
Hi Tapo team,
I'd like to request the addition of H.265 video codec support and higher bitrate options across all Tapo camera models.
H.265 is significantly more efficient than H.264 in terms of compression, allowing for better video quality while saving bandwidth and storage—especially important for higher-resolution cameras like the C520WS. Many competing brands already support H.265 and allow for higher bitrate configurations, giving users more flexibility and control over their video quality.
A few questions:
-
Is there a plan to add H.265 support and bitrate adjustment via a firmware update or upcoming version revision?
-
If so, is there a timeline or model list for when we can expect this?
It would be great to see Tapo stay competitive with these widely adopted features. Thanks for the continued development and listening to user feedback!
