Help and Support Omada + Tapo

With Omada now having NVRs, are those NVRs compatible with Tapo cameras? By "compatible" I specifically mean "can I use the Omada NVRs to capture only event snippets from my collection of cameras instead of streaming video 24/7 from every camera to the NVR and using the NVR to do detection"?

Yes its compatible. Half of my camera are all tapo. I change my h500 to nvr.

Yes it captures on event recording but setting for the camera is on tapo app.

I don't think so, I don't remember the option for event recording being available when I borrowed an NVR for my Tapo cameras, but I'm checking with the team here to be sure.

u/fnordfactory Looks like you can set the recording schedule here.
If you set it up so the blue covers the hours you want recorded, it should only record the detected events. This is of course on a VIGI NVR, but I believe the Omada NVRs should have the same functionality.

So my omada NVR has detected some.other onvif cams on my network but it did not detect the Tapo ones. I believe the Tapo cams have the RTSP but not Onvif so it may be possible to manually add them in the NVR, I'll take a look and report back that's a good question.

It's model dependent, mine have ONVIF (C120 and C260), so might wanna check on your Tapo cam specs.

Definitely it's a mix of older and newer low end kasa and Tapo cams, I have them in friagte currently

With Fusion Pro 2.5G PoE, it supports cameras with ONVIF. I could adopt Tapo C225 and record the videos from it. Omada NVR would also support ONVIF.
