quite as good as Wyze's but it works. The night vision is also not quite as good as Wyze's but is perfectly acceptable.

The best part is no monthly subscription unless you cloud storage but onboard SD card is available option.

Also, the camera does have RSTP capability which I think Wyze does not, but not 100% sure on that.

- RTSP. Standard streaming video protocol. Often used by other programs like Home Assistant to view the stream locally. Always good to have this - oblique Apr 25, 06:48
Tapo always confuses me. TP-Link. Kasa. Make up your mind! -- nm - oblique Apr 25, 06:42 7

  - I need to do a major overhaul of the HA system. I want to run a Matter server to start integrating those devices but I can't because my RPI OS is - oblique Apr 25, 07:04 5
    - I haven't gotten into Matter yet. Which RPi are you using? I assume you only need to do it because you want to run the server? - sycor Apr 25, 07:14 4
      - I think it is an RPi-3Plus. The hardware can handle 64-bit, I just didn't install it when I installed the OS. The Matter server is required to add - oblique Apr 25, 07:25 3
        
        I was under the impression that Matter didn't need a serve it would just work. I guess I need to look into it and check with RPi I'm using and which - sycor Apr 25, 07:27 2
        
        It's just HA that requires communication with the matter software similar to how you need something like ZHA to talk to Zigbee devices -- nm* - oblique Apr 25, 07:30 1
        
        Gotcha. (I think) -- nm - sycor Apr 25, 07:33
