We value your expertise! Take this short survey to shape the future of Tapo home security.

Thank you for taking the time to answer our short survey. We are collecting feedback on Tapo hubs, and your valuable input will help future product improvements. This survey is confidential and will be used for internal purposes only. Your answers will not be connected to your TP-Link account, or any other form of identification.
USER SEGMENTATION
1.How would you describe yourself as a home technology buyer? Select up to two which best represent your profile.
CURRENT CONFIGURATION
2.How many security cameras do you currently have installed and actively monitoring your home?
3.Which of the following best describes your current home security setup? Select up to two configurations that most closely describe your setup.
Please read the following context for advanced home security hubs:

A home security hub is the central brain of your security system — connecting your cameras, sensors, and motion detectors into one unified app. Unlike standalone cameras that operate independently, a hub centralizes alerts, recording, and automation across your entire home, storing footage either locally or in the cloud via subscription. These devices typically prioritize consumer convenience (e.g. connect cameras over WiFi, view streams when away from home) and AI features to create general awareness on what is going on in your home.
4.Do you currently own or have you ever owned a dedicated home security hub priced at $199 or more? Include the cost to purchase external storage into this amount.
Please read the following context on NVR devices:

A NVR (Network Video Recorder) is a device that connects to your home network and records video from your security cameras — like a hub does — but with much larger local storage (hundreds of hours or more) and no monthly cloud subscription required. Some NVRs work only with wired cameras (cameras connected by an Ethernet cable that also powers the camera — known as PoE). Others work with WiFi cameras. NVRs typically connect to a monitor or TV via HDMI and include software for reviewing, searching, and exporting footage.
Please read the following context for NAS devices:

A NAS (Network Attached Storage) is a device that connects to your home Wi-Fi or Ethernet and acts as your personal private cloud. You can store photos, videos, documents, and backups on it. Advanced NAS devices also run software — for media streaming, for apps, personal cloud storage, or even NVR software for camera recording. NAS devices typically have multiple drive bays and support RAID (redundant storage so your files are not lost if one drive fails).
5.Do you currently own or have you ever owned a NVR or NAS device? Select all that apply.
PURCHASE DRIVERS
6.Depending on your current usage, what are some reasons that led you to, or would you consider in, purchasing a security hub, NVR, or NAS device? Select all that apply.
7.How would you prefer to configure a hub, NVR, or NAS device?
NVR + NAS INFRASTRUCTURE NEEDS
8.Which of the following video recording and storage capabilities do you currently use or consider essential for a home security setup? Select your top four.
9.Do you prefer for a home security hub and a NAS to be the same device, or different devices?
10.How important is PoE (Power over Ethernet) camera support — where cameras are powered through the ethernet cable and deliver data in a single cord, rather than requiring a separate power adapter — for your home security setup?
