I bought one of these to replace a more panoramic double lens Reolink camera on my Blue Iris-managed security system in hopes it would not drop connections the way the Reolink cams (I have three of them of various models) seem to. So far, it has been working great. Dropouts are rare but the camera is little less wide angle. Full disclosure - I'm using a TP-Link mesh system and there could be some compatibility benefits beneath the hood that I'm oblivious to since Tapo and TP-Link are from the same source. There are some concerns about TP-Link being a Chinese company, but you'll have to resolve that issue in your own mind. This cam was easy to set up with the Tapo app initially and took only a bit of tinkering with video parameters in my Blue Iris NVR software to make it work. There are subreddits and TP-Link postings to help with this. For your reference, my setup uses software running on Windows, not the separate hardware NVR. You may find the Tapo app sufficient but I have a mix of camera brands and some of them have much worse apps than Tapo, so a unified management system works best for me. (I'm looking at you Amcrest, Foscam and Reolink.) If you go all Tapo, you may not need anything else, and a cloud storage subscription is an option they offer. The C120 has excellent night views and works best for me with the IR disabled to avoid rain and fog issues and because there is already some help from street lighting. The night color is beautiful and clear. The camera's own motion detection seems to work well enough (continuing to evaluate and will post updates if there are findings) although I rely on Blue Iris to manage motion detection events and video clip storage. I'm also working with an indoor Tapo C100 with similar experience so far, although this may be the topic of a separate review. I strongly recommend using optional microSD cards in these cameras, even if you use Blue Iris for your primary motion detection and video clip cataloging. It costs very little extra for, say, 64GB cards and they backstop your main system.

Premise: I had to put a camera in to watch my kitchen. I spent 10 dollars on a cheap sd, so I wouldn't have to pay a sub. Camera functionality: with the sd card (or the subscription 5$) and using the app, I'm able to set loop recording. It saves 7 days, and you can set the times, privacy mode, motion detect record mode... there are a ton of great functions on here. Ease of use: plug it in, download the app. After a quick setup it's super simple. Night vision: I honestly wasn't expecting it, but it works great. I caught my son sneaking an icecream in the middle of a night. Zoom even works at night. View angle: it's bendy, and able to be mounted on the wall if you want, very versatile. 10/10 there's so much more I could say. But it's really just a wonderful camera on all ends.

I bought one for an AIR B&B trip because it was priced at $14.99. When I returned home I purchased a second indoor and two outdoor camera's. They are very simple to set up incredible picture quality, view angles. Clear sound quality and recording capabilities. With adjustable brightness and camera functionality.

Great for watching our elderly dogs as they've become more restless overnight during these cold winter months. Clear picture, can adjust motion sensitivity so you won't get notified every time they blink or raise their head, and it very clearly picks up audio from the room as well. The only drawback I've been consistently frustrated with is the "talk" feature. Often if I use that button to soothe the dogs or tell them to lay back down, only the last half second will transmit, confusing the dogs and making them more agitated instead of soothed. I've also experimented with this by having my partner speak to me from the living room through the talk feature, and it's just as spotty/mangled in what actually comes out. Besides that, it's a great camera and has given me SO much peace of mind overnight when I'm upstairs and wonder what my senior dogs are doing downstairs. Well worth the price! Edit to add: Discovered another. "downside" to this camera. We learned how to share the device across both of our phones to monitor the dogs better. My partner is now VERY aware of how many bad jokes I tell the dogs. But that would be true of any camera or home surveillance device, so it's not really a true downside. PS: What do you call a dog that does magic tricks? A labracadabrador. You're welcome.

works as described and install was easy and flawless. the app it uses also controls other IoT devices, in my case a smart plug Pros easy to install and use, 1080p, was able to get up and running without more than what was in the box and connected to wifi easily notifications are quick and not obnoxious when it detects motion remote voice, sound transmission etc., work as described easy to configure and setup Cons none so far, only 1 week of use will report if it does

This is an amazing camera it works so good the picture quality is spot on the sound quality is amazing it goes at the right speed and it's easy to setup very easy

The Tapo TP-Link camera strikes a great balance between price and performance. It’s perfect for those looking for a simple, effective way to enhance home security without breaking the bank. While it may lack some premium features found in higher-end models (like flash light), its ease of use, solid video quality, and smart capabilities make it a top choice in its price range. Its sleek and minimalistic design allows it to blend into any environment. My favorite part is that I can store video footage on a microSD card (up to 256GB) or opt for Tapo’s affordable cloud storage plans. The night vision is excellent compared to other expensive cameras. You can also choose the sensitivity of the motion which works really great. I’m buying another one and I highly recommend it.

Muy buena cámara con buena resolución y que es fácil de instalar y usar, se ve muy bien de noche

Quería una cámara para las siestas de mi bebé y es perfecta de día y de noche. Me avisa cuando detecta movimiento, llanto, tiene muchas más opciones pero al menos para lo que la uso es perfecta sobre todo por el precio, vale mucho la pena. Tengo ya casi un año con ella y todo sigue funcionando bien.

Only issue some times while reviewing the recording in app you find few seconds of interrupted like cutter off recording ! Not much of deal for me as I use it internally so I know what it missed !

Authentic and well packed. Thanks

Bueno
