Tapo camera
Love this camera. Great quality day or night. Pan works great and images are very clear. I used SIM card not subscription. Records and plays back incidents on command. Great value for the money. So much so I purchased 3 more.

Great Product
We ordered these cameras for our customer. They are very easy to install, featuring RJ45 and power jack connectors, along with WiFi capability. The connection is quite reliable. They offer good resolution, a 360-degree view, and easy operation through the website.

Great camera
This will be my 4th these cameras. I’ve been very pleased with their quality and performance. Install is easy enough but the challenging part for me has been the need to install power at most of my locations. It’s been worth the effort as the combination of cameras provides great coverage. The resolution is very good, even when selecting lower resolution options. This camera sees well in the dark and the detection modes afire effective. I use a 128gb chip for storage and it holds months of events. The app interface works well for notifications and camera selection and control. I am sold on this camera and brand and will

Excellent buy good price !
Excellent camera I'm impressed with the picture quality and the firmware Tapo is doing a good job however the home and away mode is a good idea however it resets all the settings to default.also from a theoretical perspective one should be able to turn off the motion setting because even at the lowest sensitivity even the leave trigger his event .night vision is excellent the 4 reset scenes for the pan is great I can quickly pan a full 180 with these presets. I really put this cam through the paces .though the rain without any major issue only bit of haze on the lens .As the sun came out it quickly evaporated I am impressed with the calling feature and even spoke to the Amazon delivery guy remotely s he delivered another package. Tapo's team is doing an excellent job with the cloud software it can only get better as te S.W version upgrade I decided to go with the brand because I believe I will be supportive with updates etc Andrew A Barbados

Goodbye Wyze, hello Tapo!
I’ll be writing this on all the Tapo cameras I’ve recently purchased. (4x C110, 2x C210, 2x C520WS) These are flawless, amazing, and so far ahead of Wyze it’s not even funny. They are massively affordable, truly need no subscription, have fantastic features in their app, can record locally to an SD card; everything you would want. Coming from Wyze (see more below), I didn’t know that cameras were supposed to act like this. I assumed, at Wyze prices, that I was getting what I paid for. But when I finally had enough constant stress and spent the money to change to Tapo… my life has been changed. Seriously, I probably added years to my life not being so stressed out all the time because my cameras never, ever worked right. These do, and I cannot say it enough times… if you’re currently using Wyze then get one of these. Use it for a week side-by-side and tell me what you think. Super light, have a few of mine mounted with ‘hard plastic velcro’ (3M Dual Lock). Setup is fast and easy, and works right away. Don’t have to do it over and over again (Wyze). Clarity is superb - 1440p quality. Night vision is phenomenal. Don’t really care about ‘color’ night vision - but my outdoor ones do have it. And one of the best parts is Tapo is part of TP-Link. What does that mean? TP-Link has been around for a very long time, and they specialize in networking equipment, LoL. So yeah, if you want a reliable camera on your network, who better to trust than a networking company. TLDR: Don’t waste your time on any other brand. Buy these. I promise you won’t regret it. About Wyze: If you’re like me and never wanted to spend thousands on home monitoring and security, then you may have stumbled upon Wyze cameras. At first, they were amazing - very affordable with no subscription necessary. And they worked. Over time, that changed drastically as they ventured into making everything else on the planet instead of focusing on their roots (cameras). They funded that stuff by changing to a subscription policy. And in their haste had multiple security breaches and problems such as other people viewing cameras that aren’t theirs. This is of course while the software and hardware has become so incredibly bad that they’re unusable. I mean, they actually do not function 92% of the time. Whether it’s freezing, not connecting, stuttering so bad that it looks like a PowerPoint presentation, app for closing, etc.

Technical-competency depth of cameras' rich features hidden by shallowness of instructions
After much investigation as to which home security camera system would best suit my requirements, I decided on a collection of the following models: the C520WS Outdoor Pan/Tilt, the C320WS, and the C210. The Amazon reviews were quite helpful for these investigations. I did have some trouble with installing the outdoor cameras (i.e., the C520Ws and the C320 WS), but only because the power adapter plug in the box was not designed to fit within a standard outdoor waterproof power gang box. After more research, I ordered a different, compatible power adapter plug to install these cameras. Others have pointed out this problem. But, after that, the installation process was very easy to follow and complete. Setting up the cameras and programming them for their intended operation was not so easy; it was a lot of frustrating trial and error. Without any instructions on how to do this, I could not find a way to eliminate the numerous false positive detections and was coming to the conclusion that these cameras were going to be unusable. So before boxing them up and sending them back to Amazon, I decided to call the TP-Link hotline for Tapo to be sure. I am so glad that I did. The fellow on the line was very patient with a now-frustrated customer and calmly took me step by step to first understand the basics of setting up the Home mode and Away mode. I was completely botching this step. He understood my frustration, though, and said that they needed to do better at providing instructions to their customers for discovering, understanding, and optimizing these settings. Okay, after all of this, why the five-star review? I have concluded that once you do understand the Tapo way of doing things, you discover just how wonderfully robust and adaptive these cameras really are. Moreover, in getting to that understanding, you also discover just how well Tapo Technical Support has your back. I am not longer getting any false positive detections in the Away mode. My confidence is growing with each passing day that I purchased the best system for my requirements. So, if you are facing the same issues that I have described here, I recommend you get in touch with Tapo technical support right away. Finally, I will say that these cameras are very cost-effective when you compare them with competitive alternative systems.

Outstanding feature-set for this auto pan and tilt security camera
I own several brands of security cameras covering my entire property and this TP-Link Tapo camera is my favorite one. I have owned this camera for about a year and it has performed flawlessly. The camera is feature-packed and I love that it automatically pans and tilts to follow the subect it is tracking. It does so even in sub-freezing temperatures, although I will admit that I have the unit installed beneath a soffit and somewhat protected from the elements. The video quaity is excellent, even in darkness when it relies on infrared. In daylight or when the LED light is enabled at night, the picture quality is even better. The functionality of this camera is also excellent and the features are too numerous to list completely. The functions work via a downloadable app and you can control pan/tilt, LED light, detection sensitivity options, and much more. It has an expansion slot for an optional Micro SD cards up to 512 GB to store images and videos. It also overwrites the card automatically when it is full. The camera is powered by a standard 110 volt plug-in AC adapter with a 6-foot long cord. The adapter has a weatherproof connection to protect against the elements. I was able to install the camera and configure it to my Wi-Fi in under an hour. This camera is a powerful addition to my home security network and I feel safer with its ability to see, track, and record anyone approaching my property. It's also a fun way to observe wildlife that passes by. It's a great product and I highly recommend it for its many features and reliable performance.

Excellent Value 2K Security Camera with Crisp Video and Great Features
The TP-Link Tapo 2K Wired Security Camera offers excellent quality for residential use. The video is crisp and clear, making it easy to monitor your home with confidence. It includes many useful features such as two-way audio, pan and tilt functionality, motion tagging, and more—all at a very reasonable price, especially when on sale. Setup and everyday use feel smooth and practical for home security needs. Depending on the installation, a professional camera technician may still be helpful, especially if more involved drilling is required through garage walls or exterior surfaces. However, even with that consideration, it remains far more cost-effective than paying for full CCTV installation services. Overall, this is a highly satisfying purchase that delivers strong performance and excellent value, saving a significant amount compared to expensive CCTV systems.
