Looking to purchase the Fusion 2.5G and noticed there are two hardware revisions. Looking at the forums, it’s been stated the difference is with the DDR manufacturer, but it appears the CPU on the V2 is also different (A53 Cortex vs A73)

I am in Canada and it states the V2 version is “US”, does that mean V2 is only sold in the USA? I would really like the V2 version, but I can only purchase it via Amazon (no Canadian store). Or will V2 be the only version going forward?

Currently have the controller and two switches with multiple access points. I bought a router to have a failover system (starlink as backup) however I cannot get this router to adopt to my system.

What I've done so far:

I connected to my desktop, set up login and password. Updated to latest firmware available.

On the controller settings I have changes default LAN to 192.168.1.1 from 192.168.0.1.

After initial adopt fail it asks for username and password to the router (one that I setup) which I put in but it still fails to adopt.

The error I keep getting is the device failed because it is not responding to adopt commands.

The only thing I can think of is the router's ip address ends in "0.1" instead of "1.1"? Im not sure how to fix this? Appreciate any advice! Thanks in advance!

Hi everyone,

I'm considering purchasing an Omada Fusion 2.5G Gateway to replace my OC200 controller, but I need to clarify its multi-site management capabilities before making the purchase.

My current setup consists of three separate Omada sites:

- Site 1: Already have ER605 gateway with switches and EAP. Here I want to Install the Fusion 2.5G.

- Site 2: Remote site with an existing ER605, Omada switches and EAP access points.

- Site 3: Another remote site with an existing ER605, Omada switches and EAP access points.

All three sites are currently managed through an OC200, and the sites are interconnected through VPN/SD-WAN.

My questions are:

1. Can the Fusion 2.5G's built-in controller manage all three sites centrally, with each site having its own configuration?
2. Can the two remote ER605 gateways be adopted by the Fusion controller over the WAN/VPN, without installing additional Fusion gateways at those sites?
3. Can all switches and EAP access points at the remote sites also be managed centrally through the Fusion's built-in controller and Omada Cloud Site Manager?
4. Is this supported by the current firmware, or is Fusion's multi-site functionality limited to managing multiple Fusion gateways through Omada Cloud?
5. If this setup is supported, would I need to configure the remote devices' Controller Inform URL to point to the Fusion's IP address at Site 1?

As far as I know, migrating or importing my existing OC200 configuration into Fusion is not possible now, so I'm prepared to configure everything from scratch. I just want to confirm whether this architecture is supported.

Thanks in advance for any real-world experience or clarification from TP-Link!

I purchased 2x EAP610 and a TL-SG1210P to power them. The person I hired to install them is telling me the TL-SG1210P can't power the EAP610 and he needs to buy a Jetstream POE+ switch instead. These are being installed in a different country so I can't quickly/easily go there to confirm.

On paper it looks like it works? But maybe its a bad configuration? The documentation suggests the TL-SG1210P has some DIP switches ... could these be configured such that they can't power the EAP? Thanks for any help or suggestions!

I received these cameras as part of the Pioneer Kit 1 which also included the accompanying NVR with 4TB drive.

Existing Setup

My existing setup has been Amcrest IP8M-T2669E-AI cameras with Scrypted self hosted NVR, tied to HomeKit on iOS. The Amcrest cameras have one-way audio and infrared LEDs.

Hardware

The new Omada cameras, although the same 4K resolution, offer better video quality during the day and excellent night quality in both infrared or color (with white illuminating LEDs). Two way audio is crisp and clear, with no latency even when using ONVIF protocol and Scrypted/HomeKit. Much better audio than the Amcrest cameras. Slightly narrower FOV, but not a huge deal. "Alarm" LEDs (blue and red color/flashing) are neat, but I'm not sure how much I would use them. If my area had a high crime rate I would probably use them as a deterrent.

The mounting system makes the Omada cameras very easy to install. Mount the bracket, then connect the camera and twist to lock, with a single front angle adjustment screw. As you can see in the album, I ended up modifying my brackets so they would line up with the mounting holes on my junction boxes. I wish the world could agree with a standard IP camera mounting hole pattern!

Sofware

I will not be going into the NVR as this post is focusing on the cameras themselves. I did want to highlight that these cameras have their own webUI that CAN be used for configuration. In the current firmware release, there are some disconnects on what you can configure from Fusion, the NVR, vs the camera's own webUI. The webUI is very intuitive and quite fast for an IP camera. The software also has options for the SD Card, such as formatting, and what footage to store on the 512GB max slot. I used a 128GB card and 64GB card for testing with no issues identified. When used with the Fusion gateway with SSD slot, this footage can automatically be uploaded to the NVR if there is a break in network connectivity. Also a nice attention to detail feature: the text overlay of date/time/etc automatically turns black or white depending on the surrounding pixels. Notice the webUI walkthrough video in the google album to see all options!

Overall

After using these cameras in my testing I plan on upgrading the rest of my cameras with these, and eventually a doorbell camera if TP-Link releases one. The audio/picture quality and white LEDs with color night vision are huge upgrades. The number one deciding factor though is that these use RTSP and ONVIF and are compatible with my own smart home. I will end up using the NVR and the Fusion gateway, but the ability to use my own NVR (Scrypted) as an option is a must (adding HomeKit compatibility for most of the users in my home). I don't want to be locked into an ecosystem and these have so many options for how you implement them.

Google Album

I’ve made the decision to move my home network to the Omada platform and have bought a bunch of bits to get me started. These include an AP, a PoE switch, an OC200 management box and an Er707-M2 router.

I’ve bought them all from Amazon (mainly because I’ve got some gift cards to use) and I’m excited to get started.

However I didn’t realise when ordering that the router was sold by a third party. It’s arrived with a European (rather than UK) plug. I’ve reached out to support who have advised that the seller is not an authorised distributor and I should return it.

In practical terms what’s the impact of this beyond needing to get a plug adaptor? In particular am I likely to face any issues with firmware updates, support etc?

Returning the device is going to be a pain so I’d rather avoid it if I can.

Appreciate any insight anyone can give.

Bottom middle and Bottom right are the Omada cameras from the Pioneer kit currently being tested at home. The other 4 cameras are streams from remote ViGi cameras, using ONVIF over a Site-to-Site IPsec VPN.

So far no issues with interfacing with remote or off-subnet cameras. The ViGi cameras remain controlled by the ViGi NVR in work as well

NExt week will be installing the kit in work, and testing Fusion Pro control over ViGi NVR locally through switch routed vlans!
