The multi-station and multi-instrumental observation campaign of the Tau-Herculid (TAH) meteor shower was carried-out in the Czech Republic in the night 30/31 May 2022. The shower became active earlier than predicted. During five hours of observation almost two hundred single- and multistation TAH meteors were detected covering a wide range of the masses. The activity profile curve was relatively flat for several hours around midnight UT with few tens of meteors observed each hour.
