Partly because of your help, I now have a pretty decent HA set-up with lights and motion sensors. I was wondering if I could again pick your brain/ experience with the next step I need to take: add a camera.
A few days ago I bought a TAPO camera, and to my disappointment it was practically impossible to get it working without an app + account. Luckily I could return it.
I now want to avoid making the same mistake 😬 And I would love to hear how you approached this.


Another thumbs up for reollink. Isolated vlan with no interne and it just works. I did have one (E1 zoom) camera with issues that it suddenly started crashing constantly but got my money back and got the Poe version instead (E1 outdoor poe) and its been rock solid since. Probably a psu issue but didn’t bother trouble shooting further.
