Looking for a upgrade in my pet cams only requirement is they need to be wireless. Been using Hikvision cube cameras for years they work but compared to the new color cameras from Dahua they look bad and the two way audio is awful.

I have the Amcrest in the garage, that has just failed.
Should I replace it with the same 1080p, or the new 4K version?
I believe that the 1080p should be better, since it has the 1/2.7 sensor, right(4k is 1/3)?
Though the new 4k one even has auto tracking.

4K on a 1/3" sensor would be an absolute shit show. Would you mind buying one and uploading some night video for us? lol

Don't you mean 4MP, not 4K (8MP) ?

I mean it is for a pet cam indoors, so you don't need to count hairs on the pet or anything LOL. Look around and see what is going on. A little motion blur or ghost isn't a big deal for this situation.

Do the Tapo C111 work the same? Also i wonder if i can block these cameras from the internet with my firewall.

I assume they use the cloud normally?

Yes, according to TP-LINK.
But be aware that the BI app can hear the Tapo cams but cannot speak to them at this time.

Yes, AFTER you ctreate an account with the app, etc. following the instruction to provide a RTSP stream.
I assume they use the cloud normally?
Yes but certainly not if firewall blocks access to Internet.
