Description

"The Tapo H500 HomeBase smart hub serves as the central control for a secure and streamlined smart home ecosystem, emphasizing both extensive storage and unified management. Compatible with up to 64 Tapo Sub-1G switches, sensors, or buttons + 16 Tapo cameras or video doorbells. Sensors can include door sensors, window sensors, motion sensors, and water leak detectors. With no monthly fees, the H500 includes both 16GB of built-in local storage plus support for added storage with no capacity limit via a 2.5'' SATA HDD/SSD (5V power/10W max operating watts, sold separately). This means you can easily revisit suspicious activity or replay important moments without relying on cloud subscriptions or buying individual microSD cards for each camera. The hub includes everything needed to get started: one Tapo H500 unit, four screws for mounting, a 4.9 ft 12V DC power adapter, an RJ45 Ethernet cable, and a quick start guide. Built with a clean, compact design, the hub measures 6.31 x 3.89 x 3.28 inches and weighs 1.3 lbs. It features a range of useful ports and buttons, including 1x USB 2.0 Port, 1x USB Type-C Port, 1x HDMI Port, 1x LAN Port, 1x Power Port, 1x Reset Button, 1x Answer/SYNC Button, 1x Decline/Mute Button, and 1x Volume Down Button. The Tapo H500 supports a wide range of integration options, including compatibility with Google Assistant, Amazon Alexa, and any Matter-compatible controller. For Matter devices that rely on Thread, a separate Thread hub is required. This Matter hub operates reliably in environments ranging from 32°F to 104°F, with humidity levels of 10% to 90% (non-condensing). The hub also meets key security standards of FCC, CE, RoHS, and WEEE, and features 128-bit AES encryption with SSL/TLS and WPA2-PSK/WPA3-Personal protocols for enhanced data protection. Batteries are included, with an average life span of 3 to 5 years. The hub also ensures reliable operation through flexible networking options, supporting both Wi-Fi and wired connections through a router, with the latter serving as a dependable backup. "

    • Easily add HDD for significant bump up in storage capacity
Pattern Name: Up to 16TB HDD + Smart AI
Am very pleased with all of the TAPO products that I have purchased (hub, camera(S), door bell, extender(S). The hub provides an easy way to integrate and centralize all of my storage needs. The migration from my older (smaller) TAPO hub was painless and went very well, i few clicks and a complete read {strongly suggested} of the instructions. I especially like (and use) the HDMI out port of the hub, the carousel option for displaying the feeds was well thought out, again, read the instruction (at least for the FIRST TIME). Because i have an easy and available HARD-WIRE connection in my home office, that is what I used for the initial setup, again fairly straight forward. The FORMAT function of BOTH the internal hard drive added to the hub & the (SD chip) for the cameras was straight forward and required very little learning curve. Although a network cable was included, personally I would have appreciated an HDMI cable. One of my OUTSIDE cameras is in a far corner of my house and the hub provided a bit of a needed boost to reach that far flung camera. The ability to do an auto fall back in case of a wifi deficiency is appreciated, the cameras figure out if it is better to latch onto the WIFI modem (most of the cameras) or to attach to the HUB (few of the cameras) based on the signal strength in that area. The phone app for the TAPO family is reasonably well thought out and designed and it was easy to add the HUB to the app. The HUB brings some neat EXTRA features in to the scenario with regards to AI. I know that TAPO is a separate company from AMAZON and with a small amount of coaxing I was able to integrate the whole collection into the ALEXA universe, a wee bit more explanation of the integration process would have saved me a bit of time and frustration. ESPECIALLY where and WHAT the device ICON is (and looks like) with-in ALEXA. The HUB, like all of the other TAPO products does NOT (REPEAT NOT) REQUIRE a subscription, this was an important point for me to consider as I have several (6 +) of TAPO products. The SD chip that was in my OLD TAPO hub was able to be re-purposed into one of my new cameras for local redundant local on camera storage. I have not yet needed the expert assistance of TAPO support, but I hear they do a really good job. The several iterations I have of TAPO devices, have all been thoughtfully designed and as I have acquired additional devices my satisfaction has been fortified and increased. ... show more

    • Good Bye Blink. Hello Tapo.
Pattern Name: Up to 16TB HDD + Smart AI
I had already installed numerous Tapo devices (P125M plugs, C510W and C121 cameras, and D210 doorbells.) These were replacements for Blink devices. I have spent a number of years and a lot of dollars trying to get Blink devices to work. A very frustrating and marginally successful experience. If I had a dollar for every error message I got from Blink, I could have paid for this new system. Tapo equipment and software have been FAR superior to Blink in my experience. Blink sort of worked. Tapo just plain has worked. Your experience may vary from mine. The Tapo app is very smooth, doesn't cost anything if you use local storage, and is almost glitchless. The one thing I haven't liked is having to use a separate microsd card for each camera. The cost of the cards does add up and if someone steals the camera they also steal your record of them stealing the camera. I wanted to have centralized local storage. So that is the main reason I bought and installed this H500. It has worked flawlessly. I installed a Crucial MX500 two terabyte drive and achieved my main goal. The H500 detected all of my existing Tapo equipment without a hitch. Today I installed the excellent DL110 door lock (replacing a Sifely, which was a bit finicky) with no problem and intend to install a few of the Tapo smart bulbs. One important thing to do is enable "wifi backup" on your connected devices. I have had almost no signal problems since enabling -- unlike Blink. This integrates well with Alexa, though image quality through the Tapo app is better than Alexa. I like using Alexa routines for controlling everything, since I have some non Tapo plugs and lighting that Alexa routines handle very well. In summary -- an easy install and a good way to integrate the components of a very user friendly security/home monitoring/lighting system. One other thing I like about the Tapo app is that it works well with either a tablet or phone -- it switches between landscape and portrait mode seamlessly. Wish the H500 had been less costly, but it is worth the price to me. ... show more

    • Good alternative to "the cloud"
Pattern Name: Up to 16TB HDD + Smart AI
I wanted to have good, central, storage for my camera's photos and videos but didn't want them off in some unknown cloud with a constant subscription fee. I recently switched over to Tapo cameras because of their compatibility with Home Assistant. I was happy to also learn that they offered this H500 hub for centralized storage, and it came in at a decent price. It is easy to set up, plug it in, adopt it in the app, and toggle camera storage over to the hub. Done. Storage is expandable, I had an unused ssd lying around, installed it easily, the app told me it needed to be formatted. Done. You can turn AI features on or off for individual cameras, augmenting models that don't have any built-in AI recognition features. I have read about some issues with overheating, especially with an expansion drive installed. I put the unit on it's "side" with the bottom facing up with the hope that the heat will rise up and keep the unit cooler, but I agree it's a poor design to have heat radiating up through your expansion drive. Bonus, it works with the Tapo doorbell I purchased as a base, it can hook up to a TV to display your cameras there, and it can act as a fall-back WiFi base station for your cameras in case your main network goes out, or you don't have one (though it is 2.4 only and doesn't have the best range). Overall, I'm happy with this purchase and can recommend it. If Tapo could re-design it to eliminate the heat issue it would be a 5 star product. ... show more

    • Excellent product. Super easy to install.
Pattern Name: Up to 16TB HDD + Smart AI
Excellent product. Super easy to install. Added Samsung 2TB SSD that is not on the approved list. This hub did not recognize the drive so I followed someone else's troubleshooting steps. Power cycle the hub twice and it recognized the drive and has been working flawlessly for months.
