Hi, my Tapo C425 updated to version 1.20 with firmware 1.2.21 Build as 240809 Rel.52696n . 

Is it ok to connect to H200 that I would like to buy, with T110 detectors.

More, I am living in big house with large walls (60/80cm) and not sure one H200 would be sufficient.

Can we couple several H200 and how would the whole work.

Many thanks in advance

Nicolas

Unfortunately, this feature is not available for the Tapo C425 V1.20. You may stay updated on the future firmware release information for the product to learn about new features and changes.

 

Tapo H200 supports connection to the router only. The hubs cannot connect to each other. To use multiple hubs, make sure that the location where you plan to install the hub has a strong 2.4GHz WiFi signal or an ethernet interface.

Hi!

 

Is c425 v1.2 a different camera than C425 v1.35, or will my c425 v1.2 be updated to v1.35 so i can use local storage on H200?

 

Br,

Tapo C425 has two hardware versions so far, V1.0 and V1.20. Their corresponding firmware version is different. 

 

The feature mentioned in this post applies to Tapo C425 hardware version 1.0 in the firmware version 1.3.9 Build 240701 Rel.67934n.  >> Tapo C425 (EU/US) 1.0 Firmware 1.3.9 Build 240701 Rel.67934n

 

If your device's hardware version is V1.20, then it does not support this feature at the moment. The hardware version cannot be updated through software.
