How to use

Install the Tapo H500 indoors and connect it to your local network using Ethernet or Wi‑Fi. If additional storage is needed, mount a compatible HDD or SSD to expand capacity up to 16 TB.

Optionally connect an external pad to view multiple live feeds and manage system settings on a single screen.
