TP-Link's New Tapo Cam Lineup Matter With The HomeBase H500
Tapo H500 and new cameras launched TP-Link is beefing up its Tapo smart home lineup with a raft of new security cameras, headlined by solar-powered 4K cameras, a clever dual-lens HybridCam, and a much anticipated smart hub that adds facial recognition and Matter support to the mix. The new Tapo Smart HomeBase H500, which was first teased 18 months ago at CES 2024, is finally here. More than just a local storage box and bridge with software smarts - as per companion hubs from the likes of Arlo and Reolink - the H500 is able to act as a Matter controller for third party devices too, so presumably you'll be able to create automations across the Tapo ecosystem and devices from other manufacturers. This being Matter though, there is a slight caveat in that it can't control all device types. The CSA gives brands the tools to support a huge range of categories and gadgets now but it's up to individual brands and platforms to implement those tools. In the case of the H500 it's limited to just lighting, sensors, switches, plugs, and door locks for now. We'd hope that more categories will be added down the line and, of course, you'd expect it to be all set for when security cameras do finally come to the Matter party. Aside from the Matter action, the H500 also boasts AI smarts, face tagging, and support for up to 16 Tapo cameras and 64 sensors. The new Tapo Smart HomeBase H500 (rear ports) It comes with 16GB of onboard storage and room to expand to a whopping 16TB via SATA, giving you the option to keep recordings completely local, with no subscription required. It connects via Ethernet or over dual-band Wi-Fi, and the H500 processes AI detection locally, so it can spot faces, vehicles, pets, and even track strangers across multiple cameras, without sending anything to the cloud. Cameras still aren't part of the Matter spec, as mentioned, so the Tapo cams only work with Alexa, Google Home, and SmartThings for now, but that's true of everyone else, too. On the camera front, the new Tapo MagCam 4K Solar (C460 KIT) and Tapo VistaCam 360 Solar (C660 KIT) are the standouts from a bumper launch. The new Tapo MagCam 4K Solar (C460 KIT) Both feature 8MP image quality, color night vision via a starlight sensor and F1.65 lens, and built-in solar panels so you don't have to mess with recharging every few weeks. TP-Link tells us they can run for up to 55 days on a full battery, and only need around 45 minutes of sunlight per day to stay topped up. The VistaCam model adds 360-degree pan/tilt control, while both support 24/7 recording to the H500 or a microSD card. If you're looking for something indoors, the Tapo RoomCam 360 (C260) brings the same 4K chops to an outlet-powered pan/tilt cam. It's got AI detection for people, pets, and vehicles, a physical privacy shutter, and can even listen out for specific sounds like crying babies or breaking glass. Tapo's new HybridCam Series is also pretty interesting, especially the $69.99 Tapo HybridCam Duo (C246D). It combines a fixed 125-degree wide-angle lens with a separate 6mm telephoto pan/tilt lens, so you can keep tabs on wide spaces and zoom in on details without needing two separate cameras. Smart tracking is built in, so if one lens spots movement, the other can automatically follow it. There are more affordable options in the lineup, too, with 1080p, 2K, and 3K pan/tilt versions starting at just $29.99. All support on-device AI detection, multi-mounting, and IP-rated weatherproofing. The wired VistaCam C560WS fills out the range at $99.99, offering facial recognition and 24/7 recording at 25fps, with night vision and pan/tilt control. All of these new Tapo cams can record locally, either via microSD cards or to the HomeBase, and include free AI-powered alerts for people, pets, and vehicles. No cloud subscription is required, although TP-Link still offers its optional Tapo Care service if you want offsite backups. With the HomeBase in place, you also get a bunch of extras like facial recognition across all Tapo cameras (even older non-AI ones), smart event categorization. There's also a dock for a tablet and TV integration is possible from its HDMI port for multi-camera live views. There's a built-in mic and speaker too, so the hub can double as an intercom for your cameras or video doorbells and it also has a 110dB alarm siren on board too. It's a big ecosystem push from TP-Link, especially with Matter support now baked into the H500. While the platform still doesn't cover cameras, that's on the roadmap so TP-Link is nicely placed to benefit. All the new cameras, along with the HomeBase H500, are available now on Amazon or direct from TP-Link.

These battery-powered 4K cameras record 24/7
TP-Link just launched a bunch of new security cameras for its Tapo smart home brand, including a 4K-capable line for outdoors and a slew of inexpensive pan and tilt cams that can be used indoors and out. The company is also finally releasing its Tapo HomeBase H500 central hub, first shown at CES 2024, which brings facial recognition and expanded local storage to its cameras. The HomeBase will act as a Matter controller, allowing you to add non-Tapo devices to the Tapo app. The new releases, which are available now at Amazon and TP-Link's site, feature an upgrade to the battery-powered Tapo MagCam series, bringing 4K 8MP resolution footage and Starlight color night vision (which shows clearer images even in low light). There's a standard camera, the $149.99 Tapo MagCam 4K Solar (C460), and a pan-tilt version, the $169.99 Tapo VistaCam 360 Solar (C660). Both have solar power integrated into the mounting system and can record 24/7 on battery – something few other battery-powered cameras offer. 'We achieved the 24/7 continuous recording at a lower frame rate,' explained David Lux, marketing director at TP-Link. 'It records in lower quality while nothing is happening, switching to higher quality when motion is detected.' According to TP-Link, the cameras can record up to 55 days on one charge using the adjustable frame rate to save power, and require as little as 45 minutes of sun a day on the solar panel to keep it fully powered. A wired version of the VistaCam, Tapo C560WS, costs $99.99 and supports on-device facial recognition along with 24/7 recording at 25 FPS. All of the new Tapo cameras have the option of local recording to a microSD card (sold separately), to the Tapo Cloud, or to Tapo's new HomeBase. They have free AI-powered smart alerts for pets, people, and vehicles, processed on the device. The pan-tilt versions support auto-tracking of pets, vehicles, and people. Tapo also has a new 4K-capable plug-in, indoor pan-tilt camera, the $59.99 Tapo RoomCam360 (C260), which supports 24/7 recording to an SD card or the HomeBase. It offers 360-degree horizontal coverage, a physical privacy shutter, smart alerts for people, pets, and vehicles, and noise detection for a baby crying, glass breaking, cat meowing, and dog barking, says Lux. A lower-cost option, the new Tapo HybridCams series, is a line of 2K-capable plug-in cameras that start at $30. All feature weather proofing, pan-tilt capabilities, and a multi-mount design that lets you place the camera flat on a surface or mount it to a wall or ceiling. The $69.99 Tapo HybridCam Duo (C246D) is the most interesting here. It features dual-lens 2K 3MP cameras, one a 360-degree pan-tilt with a 6mm telephoto lens and the other a fixed lens with a 125-degree field of view, so it can cover wide spaces while simultaneously zooming in on details. The Duo has synchronized smart tracking, so if the fixed lens spots something, the pan-tilt lens can adjust to follow it. A 4K, solar-powered version was announced at CES this year, but there's no sign of a launch for that model yet. The HybridCam series also includes three single-camera options with the same design, starting at $29.99 for 1080p resolution, $34.99 for 2K, and $49.99 for 3K resolution. These models are all pan-tilt with auto-tracking and free AI-powered detection for people and sounds. The two more expensive cameras add pet and vehicle detection. As mentioned, the cameras all have the option of local storage on the device with a micro-SD card or on the new $149.99 Tapo HomeBase (H500). A triangular hub with a built-in tablet mount (tablet not included), the HomeBase adds 16GB of local storage for cameras, expandable with an external hard drive to 16TB. Tapo says the HomeBase, which supports Ethernet and 2.4/5GHz Wi-Fi, can manage up to 16 Tapo cameras as well as support ONVIF-compatible cameras. When connected to the HomeBase, all Tapo cameras gain local facial recognition. You can connect a tablet to the stand, keep it powered via a USB port, and use it as a camera viewing device, showing up to four live views at once. Alternatively, you can hook the HomeBase up to a TV via its HDMI port. With a built-in microphone and speaker, the HomeBase can act as an intercom for Tapo's cameras and video doorbells. The HomeBase is a hub for Tapo's sub-gig sensors and supports Matter-over-Wi-Fi devices, allowing it to act as a Matter controller. This means it can connect and control Matter-compatible Tapo smart home devices, as well as bring Matter devices from other brands into the Tapo app. This should let you use Tapo's rules and automations to automate all your compatible gadgets in one app. However, Lux says the hub only supports Matter devices in the categories that Tapo currently supports, which include lighting, sensors, switches, plugs, and door locks.

U.S. seeks breakup of Google's ad-tech products after judge finds illegal monopoly
FILE PHOTO: The Google logo is seen on the Google house at CES 2024, an annual consumer electronics trade show, in Las Vegas, Nevada, U.S. January 10, 2024. REUTERS/Steve Marcus/File Photo (Reuters) -The U.S. Department of Justice has proposed that Alphabet's Google divest its AdX advertising marketplace and ad server DFP, a court filing showed on Monday, after a federal judge found the company illegally dominated two online ad-tech markets. The judge set a September trial date on Friday, after hearing from Google and the DOJ on potential remedies for the company's dominance in ad tools used by online publishers. The Justice Department said the proposed remedies, including divestitures, are necessary to end Google's monopolies and restore competition in the ad-exchange and publisher ad-server markets. Google has said the company supported behavioural remedies such as making real-time bids available to competitors, but that prosecutors cannot legally pursue a bid to force it to sell parts of its business. "The DOJ's additional proposals to force a divestiture of our ad tech tools go well beyond the Court's findings, have no basis in law, and would harm publishers and advertisers," Lee-Anne Mulholland, Google's vice president of Regulatory Affairs, said in a statement to Reuters. AdX, or Ad Exchange, is a marketplace where publishers can make their unsold ad space available to advertisers for purchase on a real-time basis. Publisher ad servers are platforms used by websites to store and manage their digital ad inventory. Along with ad exchanges, the technology lets news publishers and other online content providers make money by selling ads. Last year, Google took a major step to end an EU antitrust investigation with an offer to sell AdX but European publishers rejected the proposal as insufficient.
