Hi , im a cctv seller for 6 years in the market already . You can just go ahead with ezviz, tapo or xiaomi for a peace of mind .

If you are looking for brands other than the above , avoid brands with apps like V360 , V380 . These are product from low cost manufacturers.

Means their factory priorities on cheapest material and will add alot of fancy functions to attract consumer . Cause average consumer dont understand functions are just codings . Hence low grade chipset + fancy coding = disaster , low life span , frequent errors .

If you are t20 , go for ezviz , m40 go for tapo , b40 go for xiaomi .

WDYM ezviz is for T20? Their prices are more or less the same as Tapo and Xiaomi.  hmm.gif

I use REOLINK complete with REOLINK NVR.
Last year some snatch thief incident on road nearby. Policemen came and checked my CCTV. They're impressed with the clarity.

I use both Reolink & Vigi for many years. So far - zero failure. Just make sure you get that high endurance SD card.  thumbup.gif

Here's my CCTVs

2 units Reolink C1 Pro (no longer available)
3 units Reolink E1 Pro
2 units Reolink E1
1 unit Reolink RLC-410W (outdoor)

1 unit TP-Link Vigi C340

3 units TP-Link Tapo C225
1 unit TP-Link Tapo C325WB (outdoor)

1 unit TP-Link Vigi 8 channel NVR (outdoor)

Installed at my houses and my parents' house.

FYI, I like Tapo App is the best (Android). Quick to load and stream the video feed. Slowest app load is Reolink one. Vigi app - in between.

I'm slowly changing to Tapo when it's due. Single app.  sweat.gif

So even use SD, tapo also load faster?

POE Vs WiFi. Which one load faster?

Is your TP-Link Tapo C325WB using Poe or WiFi? Poe direct from router or Poe from vigi NVR ?


I want to buy TP-Link Tapo C325WB but it's not PTZ.

Yup. Tapo always load & stream video faster (Android).

I didn't use PoE. Just plain WiFi.  sweat.gif 

TP-Link Tapo C325WB - use WiFi too.

Vigi NVR sits on my wired network + TP-Link Deco Mesh WiFi.

Very simple setups, nothing fancy. Primary goal to keep track of my cats (my house) and keep track of my 80++ years old parents.  sweat.gif

Tapi / VIGI AI detection is better / more accurate than Xiaomi. Less false alarm.

Maybe newer Xiaomi have better AI?

Anyway, false alarm will rendered CCTV useless.
