    5 stars for quality and ease of use

    TP-Link - Tapo TC73 AI Home Security Pan/Tilt Wi-Fi Camera - White Review: Setup in the app was straight forward and if you have any other TAPO link products then your account will be the same. I disabled the KASA app and used the TAPO for everything. I had to manually point the camera up in order to insert the micro-SD card (used a 128GB SanDisk Switch card). Be sure to format the card in settings and update the firmware. After manually pointing the camera to up, be sure to do the auto adjust feature to reset the camera. I turned the constant recording off for movements and will activate that when away from the house. There is a recording schedule that can be set up if that is what you need. For example, at night, schedule the recording for all movements. Settings include pets, humans, babies, etc to customize your recording needs. Be advised that some window glass will not allow movement detection or IR. Be sure to test that feature if you want to place these in a window to catch outdoor movement. You can have a 2-way conversation with anything you want. Neat feature to communicate with pets when away from the house for extended periods. Camera picture quality is outstanding as well as build quality of the product. Remote pan and tilt will be useful to check on pets, thieves, and senior citizens. I was totally caught off guard on how high the quality is for this unit at any price point. You can do anything you want on local storage as well as remote viewing without the cloud, However, if you have other Google devices then the cloud may be a good addition to your setup. Google assistant works with this product. Features: TC73 is the first Tapo smart AI home security pan/tilt camera designed with a privacy shutter. You can easily activate the privacy mode by clicking the button on the product shell or using the Tapo app, ensuring you won't be monitored by the camera whenever needed. As a 2K 4MP camera , you can always view clear images even in low light or overexposed environments. With 2K 4MP resolution and starlight sensor, enjoy crisp live views in any light, without worries about overexposed or low light conditions. The smart tracking function enables you to always keep what matters in sight. You can save recorded videos on the microSD Card (up to 512 GB, purchased separately) or use Tapo Care cloud storage services (subscribe separately). The AI algorithm of Tapo C125 can identify people, pets, vehicles, and even recognize a baby crying and other sounds, notifying you as needed. The friendly compact and magnetic design of Tapo C125 offers you the flexibility to place the device wherever needed. Furthermore, free up your hands with voice assistants such as Alexa, Google Assistant, and Apple Homekit. Tapo C125 also supports Wi-Fi 6 environments for more stable and consistent live views.

  • How long can one live stream before it times out/turns off? for example, some cameras only let you live stream for 10 minutes before it automatically turns off, which forces you to reconnect to live stream.

    Hi Joe, great question. If your viewing device (e.g., smartphone) is not on the same Wi-Fi network when viewing the live stream, you will be prompted to continue streaming after 5 minutes. However, if your smartphone is on the same local network as the camera, there is no time limit prompt when viewing the live stream.
