Tapo Smart Home Central Hub H500
Score: 72/100Rankings
The eufy Smart Display E10 is an 8-inch battery-powered hub offering local video monitoring, Wi-Fi 6 connectivity, and expandable storage for eufy cameras. Its ecosystem is limited to eufy devices and it lacks Bluetooth and a webcam. Best suited for eufy users who need a portable, no-fee monitoring solution.
The Tapo H500 is a central hub that consolidates up to 16 cameras and 64 Sub-G sensors, offering expandable local storage and AI facial recognition. Its main trade-offs are the need for an external hard drive and limited appeal outside the Tapo ecosystem. Best suited for Tapo-heavy users who want high-capacity, subscription-free video storage.

Everyday users generally view the E10 positively, highlighting its portability, simple one-tap controls and the cost-saving benefit of local storage. Recurring complaints focus on occasional notification drops, microSD compatibility quirks, and the always-on screen consuming more battery than expected.
No professional reviews or editorial analyses were found; product pages and retailer listings emphasize the hub’s high‑capacity local storage, AI features, and Matter integration but provide no independent evaluation.
“2TB HDD is the sweet spot for 10+ cameras, but you have to buy the drive separately - it costs around £60-70.”
Early adopters and YouTube reviewers praise the hub's ability to centralize many Tapo cameras, eliminate cloud fees, and provide HDMI monitoring, while common concerns focus on the extra cost and effort of adding a separate HDD/SSD and the product's limited appeal outside the Tapo ecosystem.
