Product Information
TP-Link Tapo H500 Smart Home Hub
The TP-Link Tapo H500 is the central brain of a Tapo smart home security setup, built to manage cameras, sensors and video doorbells from one base station rather than relying purely on the cloud. It supports up to 16 Tapo cameras or video doorbells and up to 64 Tapo Sub-G sensors (door/window contacts, motion sensors and similar) at once, giving plenty of headroom to build out a full-house system over time.
With 16GB of built-in storage, expandable by adding your own 2.5" SATA HDD or SSD (up to 16TB), the H500 can store footage locally rather than depending entirely on a cloud subscription. An HDMI output lets you view camera feeds directly on a TV or monitor, and a 110dB built-in siren can be triggered manually or automatically as a genuine deterrent. On-device facial recognition and local AI processing also mean some smart features can run without sending footage off-site.
It's worth being clear on what's in the box: the H500 is a hub/base station only and does not include any cameras or sensors, which need to be purchased separately to build a working system around it.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does this come with any cameras or sensors?
No — the H500 is a hub/base station only. Tapo cameras, video doorbells and Sub-G sensors need to be purchased separately and paired with the hub to build a working system.
Do I need a cloud subscription to store footage?
The H500 has 16GB of built-in storage and can take a 2.5" SATA HDD or SSD up to 16TB for local storage, giving an alternative to cloud-only recording, though this depends on which Tapo devices and features you use alongside it.
How many devices can it support?
Up to 16 Tapo cameras or video doorbells and up to 64 Tapo Sub-G sensors/devices combined, giving room to expand a system gradually.
Can I view footage on my TV?
Yes — the H500 has an HDMI output so you can view live camera feeds directly on a connected TV or monitor without needing a phone or app.
What's covered under warranty?
This hub is covered by TP-Link's standard manufacturer warranty. Call into us in Loughrea for advice on setting up a Tapo smart home system.
