PSA: Do NOT buy the Tapo C220 camera if you want QHD (2k) RTSP stream (self.homeautomation)

I own a TP-Link Tapo C200, and I wanted to upgrade my 1080p stream to a crips QHD. The camera is supposed to be QHD, so I said why not, I already have one and I am happy with it, so why not have two?

I use the RTSP stream, and the camera is not connected to the internet. I do not use any of the AI detection stuff, I have my own solutions for that.

However, apparently, the C220 does NOT support QHD over RTSP. The stream is only 1080p. I am beyond furious now. Does the camera even do QHD internally? It is all a fraud? How would one even get it to do QHD? And why the fuck does it advertise as QHD as the main selling point if it cannot stream QHD at all?

Steer away from this product if you want a QHD RTSP stream.

That being said, any recommendations for a QHD RTSP camera? Preferably cable.
