Suggestions required related to WiFi CCTV cameras
I have been using a Vimtag WiFi CCTV camera since few years & it has been good overall. Only major issue is when I have to view the feed, it gets much tedious.
Recently bought Tapo C220 indoor camera and it is much better than old Vimtag in every aspect. Viewing the feed is also much easier.
Now I want to buy few more outdoor & indoor WiFi cameras...considering Tapo C520WS & C325WB for outdoor usage.
Both of them have option for ethernet connection also.
QUERIES
1. Please suggest between these C520WS & C325WB or any other better option.
2. Can these Tapo cameras or any other WiFi cameras be connected with a NVR and footages be recorded in a HDD and live seen on a connected monitor?
3. If NVR thing is not possible, can we run the Tapo app on Mac/ PC or mirror my phone screen to an external monitor?
I tried connecting iPhone with a standalone monitor (without connecting Mac or PC) through HDMI/USB C cable & it mirrored everything automatically. But it didn’t happen with Android. Do you know a way by which I can buy & connect any budget Android with a monitor & see the phone screen there for CCTV monitoring?
Lastly can I watch the live feed from these WiFi cameras on a device like Echo show? Will that solve my purpose? I don't have one yet but can consider to buy if that is suggested.
Thank you!

Ordered one C520.
Have you tried connecting NVR or anyway to see the live feed on a display?
@batguy143 -- Check this out. Also stick to one brand as its easy to manage multiple devices using just one App/Interface.
Right.
Now I’ll stick with Tapo.
Thanks!
Go for Tapo C520.
Brought it last month. So far good. I am using with wired connection so it's much more stable. Old recording are easily available if you add micro sd card.
Earlier I was using Qubo which had lag issue. So now started using Tapo.
