I have Ezwiz before...lousy piece of junk camera. App is lousy, image clear but the stupid ptz camera cannot focus on a predetermined area. Tried resetting and all...no use.
IMOU / Dahua - once setup done, no need worry. |

Tried resetting and all...no use. Just a PSA, Imou is no longer owned by Dahua, Dahua sold the entire company alreadyIMOU / Dahua - once setup done, no need worry. I did notice the app quite slow to load especially when viewing from Maxis 4G/5G these days https://finance.sina.com.cn/stock/stockzmt/...if5188868.shtml https://finance.sina.com.cn/cj/2025-03-12/d...pm1626368.shtml |

Just get Dahua or Hikvision if you have more than 2 cameras...
Long run, you need to replace SD card as it won't last. Plus, Tapo cams mostly rely on WIFI. If there's no WiFi, no recording unless you have an SD card. Also maybe prone to getting hacked? Also, you can get cloud storage. But is it worth paying a subscription every month and giving them your footage? The HomeBase is an extra purchase (not including HDD).. But not sure if you still need to get SD cards. |
