Disable hardware acceleration in advanced settings to get rid of lag! 💡Just bought a C500 and experience the same problem. It's definitely not a signal issue, I still have it next to the router. Played around in settings and discovered this easy fix. Don't know yet if it has any drawbacks.

Please advise, I have a Tapo C500 Security Camera. Sometimes the person detection dosen't work when someone is passing from the marked zone. Also I have installed the camera on front of the house and wanted to cover front porch and a part of the road where I have parked my car. The problem is that the camera can cover either road or my front porch, so if I keep the camera view on the road and mark the front porch with turning on motion detection then would it be possible for the camera to move from road angle to porch angle and then go back to the same position??

Thanks for your video review of this camera, very well presented and totally understand how much effort is needed to create such videos. I have a question relating to remote viewing of this camera via a mobile phone internet/data connection. I saw in your video you used VLC player not the Tapo App to view the camera. If you went to visit a friend out of town, say 50 miles away, can you use the Tapo App to watch/control/tilt the camera using your mobile phone internet/data connection? I ask that questions because I'm looking to purchase 4 Tapo C225 cameras. Obviously they will all be connected via the local WiFi network. I understand I need to install the Tapo App on my phone - but I want to view all cameras from a different physical location. Can the Tapo App connect to the cameras WiFi network via my phone using my mobile data connection?

If your NAS application does not officially support TP-Link Tapo cameras, try first as a generic Onvif camera and if it does not work then RTSP. Onvif is needed for things like motion control and notifications. RTSP is only about the video feed (no controls). Most security camera applications should support onvif.

The lagging might have to do something with the software of your router, which may be outdated. You also need to find out if the camera isn't far away from the router. Also, the broadband of your internet connection may also be a reason behind the lagging. Your ISP may help you in this regard.
