This camera exceeded my expectations! The image quality is outstanding, capturing crisp and vibrant details during the day, and the night vision functionality is nothing short of impressive. It delivers clear, sharp footage even in low-light conditions. What’s remarkable is that despite its top-notch features, the price is incredibly reasonable, making it a standout choice for anyone seeking quality without breaking the bank. A fantastic investment for those looking for a reliable camera that goes above and beyond, proving that exceptional quality doesn’t always come with a hefty price tag.
Getting really upset at constant problems with Hive, and their discontinuation of the camera anyway, I decided to buy this Tapo (tp-link) because of reviews and the fact that it was made by tp-link.
Setup was a breeze including driver updates and installing a SD card.
The pictures is far better than Hive, it is responsive and the software very well written. It can even track movement although I found this a little spooky and turned it off.
The picture is straight from the camera across my den- I’m really impressed with the quality for a 20 camera!
Another 2 on order! Update- Oh no there isn’t! Went to reorder and the price is increased to 35! In 2 days? Forget it. Amazon did this to me with a heater last year.
The quality of this camara really suprised me, as the price I got it for I did’nt think it would be so good. Very high quality build, small & compact with good attachment options. The picture quality is brilliant.I set it up & was monitoring my house front from my front window in no time, night vision is really good to. You have an option to a free 30 day cloud storage offer during setup or you can go with the option of installing a maximum 128gb microSD card (as I did) you can record anytime via the Tapo App.
To set up when you first recieve the camera you will need to download the Tapo App & install it on your phone or other device(s). You will then need set up an account, this is simply an email address & password which allows you to sign into the app on your devices.
Once done plug in your camera & turn on. Open the Tapo App & add device, choose camera & the model from a list displayed by the app & install it. During installation you will need to sign onto you’re Wifi network. Instructions are easy to follow & you should be up & running in no time, & you can usually find someone on youtube showing you how to do it also.
Once running you can then operate the camera as you wish via the app. If you have problems you can always find answers online. Great product would highly recommend.
For the price, this camera is simply excellent. Packed with useful features, I have three spread around my house, garage and workshop. They include a movement detection alarm which is easy to switch on via WiFi at night. Worth every penny!
The camera also has a two-way audio feature, which lets me talk to my family or pets through the camera. The camera has a motion detection and activity zone feature, which alerts me when there is any movement in the area that I choose. The camera also has a slot for a micro SD card, which can store up to 128 GB of video footage. Alternatively, I can also use the Tapo cloud service, which offers a 30-day free trial and more advanced functions.
I would highly recommend this product to anyone looking for a versatile and easy-to-use smart camera. Tapo is a reliable and trustworthy brand that offers quality products at affordable prices.
This is a game changer!! I have got a new puppy and worry about leaving him, but this changes all of that , it has a few features, I love the night vision mode , everything is crystal clear , it’s become so handy because I can talk through the camera to reassure him . Now he’s a bit bigger and I have another dog , this allows me to see what they are getting up too at night , I have to say I’ve seen some funny things I didn’t realise they were doing like getting up on the coffee table I really love this because you can keep a eye on things when you aren’t around, it also has a alarm that is triggered by movement and it alerts your phone so it’s also handy for security, this is a great buy at a fantastic price 🙂
Only downsides (which may not be a problem for others) :
– Not possible to have nightvision on without the IR illumination on. Results is if you are using this through a window (as I am) then the IR glare back from the window blinds the camera. Even my no-brand cheapy I previously had allowed you to toggle the IR lighting independently of the nightvision filter but with this one you can’t. If nightvision is on, the IR light is on, no option. Luckily the day mode is high enough gain that even without IR it’s still a good enough picture.
– Recording duration cannot be changed. Every time a cat walks across my garden, that’s the camera tied up recording for a full minute. Other cameras I’ve had / have allow you to set a period of inactivity after which the recording will stop e.g. 15 seconds after motion stops, halt recording. Not this one though.
Neither are the end of the world, just seem to me like fundamental options which even the cheapest knock off cameras have, so surprised that this didn’t.
Setting up the camera was a breeze, thanks to the clear and concise instructions provided. I had no issues whatsoever in connecting the camera to my WiFi network. Once set up, I started running the camera in 1080p, and I must say, the picture quality is absolutely fantastic — crisp, clear, and detailed, capturing every essential aspect of my indoor space.
One of the most remarkable things about this camera is its price point. It’s rare to find such high-quality technology offered at such an affordable price, making it exceptional value for money. It’s a perfect blend of affordability and functionality.
In addition to the camera, I also purchased an Integral 128GB Micro SD Card and a CASPERi Pack of 2-5 Meter DC 12V CCTV Power Extension Cable in white. Both of these accessories have proven to be excellent companions to the Tapo camera. The Micro SD card offers ample storage for surveillance footage, and the extension cables provide the necessary flexibility for camera placement.
In conclusion, if you’re in the market for a reliable, high-quality indoor security camera that won’t break the bank, the Tapo Pan/Tilt Smart Security Camera is a fantastic choice. Its ease of use, superior image quality, and compatibility with other great products like the Integral Micro SD Card and CASPERi power cables make it a top recommendation for anyone looking to enhance their home security.
Setting up the cam on the Tapo app very straightforward, it’s supports the Kasa ranges, so all devices on the same app now.
The video quality is good. The sound capture is good and very clear. The motion sensor works nicely.
Tapo App: now I can see multiple cams live on the same screen. It supports up to 32 cams however 4 cams on a single screen.
I have been using it with an SD card for continuous recording.
Recommend it.
