  • Awesome review. Is it possible to check and confirm the max bitrate of mainstream using ONVIF device manager? On C220 v1, it is 2560 kbps.
  • @ninofiol
    Excellent review! Thank you for taking the time to thoroughly explain all details. You answered all the questions I had on my newly purchased Tapo cam.
  • @DonavanAja
    awesome indepth review of this camera ,just ordered one and I have two ptz cameras now from other companies love the ptz camera but my other ones picture/camera quality has a lot to be desired meaning I am buying this one for a better quality/camera and picture so hope it does just that!
  • @alexkrot9776
    Thanks for the review, is the camera able auto switching to LED lights when spotting movements?
  • @bobmusikk
    If the image quality is as good as my C320WS it'll be great. Ordering right now !
  • Thanks for the review, how long the 32G card can record till overwrite if only on detection mode is on. Thanks
  • @guglarb6741
    Please review eufy e340 wired 360 pan and tilt 24/7
  • @whopua
    RTSP? I like to use my server for 24/7 recording. Works with my reolink but the software is not brand specific so I would definitely consider other brands.
  • @yazidzai5320
    How does it compare to the C325WB that has ColorPro Night Vision? Starlight Full-Color Night Vision vs ColorPro Night Vision?
  • @markhahn8288
    After tracking a target is ended, does the camera go back to it's centered location or stay where tracking ended? Wondering if it can track to a corner of it's vertical/horizontal travel, so the next opportunity to detect is compromised by it's position?
  • will the camera revert to it's original position after tracking or remain in the last position that was tracked?
  • @ajorgensen
    If I use Smart Motion Tracking will it drive back to the set position i set or will it just stay when it stop tracking the person?
  • @amitghosh4166
    IT has a network port, with that can it be used to record on a NVR?
  • @hajnaladam845
    Hi! If you use the camera as wired, can you use it as a wifi hotspot? I want to change my Imilab EC5 which can be used as a hotspot if it is wired. Thanks in advance!
  • @avanishgvyas1992
    Can you trigger sound and light alarm remotely? I mean not arming the alarm mode, but actually triggering the light and sound alarm to scare off unwanted visitors.
  • @syntom1
    Let’s hope that 30 fps will be enough to see car plates, at least at low speeds.
  • @TuningLovers
    Hi, for long distances is Ezviz C8PF? Can it's zoom cover 150m, does the zoom really make a difference in clearing things, for example a car plate number?
