Hardware Version:

Firmware Version:

Am thinking about purchasing this cam but find 2 models, the c420 and tje c420s1. I cannot find the difference.

Is it just the hub with the s1? If so, why should i use the hub?

Or is it something completely difference?

Thank you.

Hi,
The Tapo C420 is a single Tapo Cam, and the Tapo C420S1 includes a Tapo C420 and a hub Tapo H200.

The Tapo C420 needs to cooperate with H200 to work normally, and the typical usage scenario is the Internet--<wired>--Wireless router --<wired/wifi>--Tapo H200--<wifi>--Tapo C420.

Generally, if you do not have a hub Tapo H200, it's suggested to buy the Tapo C420S1. If you have a hub, you can buy Tapo C420 or C420S1.

Note: A Tapo H200 can work with up to four Tapo C420 simultaneously.

Best Regards
