Recommendations

  • Resolution: 2K recommended. Try not to go below 1080p, as lower resolutions noticeably reduce the maximum working distance.
  • Night vision: use a camera with built-in IR LEDs. Superhome's models work also in complete darkness.
  • Frame rate: 10 to 15 FPS is sufficient.
Tested camera

All of our testing was done with the TP-Link Tapo C210 (2K), which the system officially supports. The Tapo's built-in denoising and image cleanup help Superhome reach the stated scores at the stated ranges. Other cameras may perform better or worse depending on their image quality.
