@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.

Hi, I found following FAQ from tp-link , with the list of compatible TAPO devices, that can work with the HUBS, and it is gradually expanding!

https://www.tp-link.com/nl/support/faq/4191/

The C320 seems to be compatible from April 2025 onwards, according the list.
But I have 2x C320WS. Is that the same? On internet, I could not find the difference between C320 and C320WS 
I write this answer 12-april-2025 using latest HUB and camera firmware and I cannot add the C320WS to my H200.
(The list of devices able using "Backup from WiFi" is empty, maybe doing something wrong)
Would be nice if TP-LINK mentions which SW versions are needed to make this work?

For now, I connected the C320WSt to my Synology NAS.
Then you cannot store it on  microSD carde anymore
But would be nice if you can play the recordings from the NAS in your TAPO phone app. But that is not possible.

Bottomline:
The best option would be (in my case) the H200 to be working with the C320WS. So I can store all recordings of cameras and dorrbell on a single
HUB equipped with max size microSd card.(Actually I have 2 HUBS, one not equipped with a microSd card as decoy, but used as doorbell ringer only)
And I can then replay all recordings on the TAPO app.
BTW, currently using the D230 doorbell, but planning to go over to D235, becuase fed up of charging the doorbell battery all time.

>> Can the D235 streqam to H200 with microSd card inside?
(Answer should be YES according the added FAQ list above, but can anybody confirm?)

thanks for your answer(s)
