A well-functioning camera. Good image and sound quality. $3 monthly for watching recordings from the last 30 days or for free when you record to a memory card.

Good camera. excellent picture, but still can't get the push notifications to turn on that's why I knocked off two stars. The rest of of the set up was easy. If I could get the push notifications to work I would give it 5 stars.

I am happy with the cam. It does what it says. Only down fall is the delay on actual real time images. Everything else is good.

The TP-Link Kasa Smart 2K HD Indoor Home Security Camera is a great choice for home security. The 2K HD video quality is excellent, both day and night, and the motion detection is accurate with prompt alerts. The two-way audio is clear, making communication easy. I appreciate the option for SD card storage, which allows for local video saving without relying on cloud storage. The camera’s sleek design fits well in any room, and setup was quick and easy with the user-friendly Kasa app. Overall, it's a reliable, feature-rich camera that offers great value for the price.

Excellent! Great video quality. You are not obligated to purchase a plan if you have an sd card. I would recommend getting at least 160-260gb if you go that rout, but is astronomically affordable compared to ring brand. You can also take screen shots without a subscription if you're utilizing as just a live monitor when you're away. Easy to use plug and play. Stands on it's own but also mountable. There are moving parts and you can here the camera click on everytime but is tolerable. Worth the $$!

This is an outstanding little camera which works great with my Apple iPhone via its own app. You record to a memory card and you DON’T HAVE TO SUBSCRIBE to anything. The image quality is excellent. Motion detection is excellent. Ease of installation and use is excellent. I have two for use in an apartment. I’m instantly notified if anyone enters while I’m out, and I can talk to maintenance and service people remotely. It meets my needs at a very affordable price.

Just what I was looking for. I didn't want to spend a lot of money. I've gotten rid of my cable company camera. Found this one! It has great quality pictures. Notifies you any detection of movement on your phone. You can store on a micro disk and you can even talk through it! Couldn't be more satisfied. Stop paying that monthly fee for the service and storage.

I purchased this indoor camera and was amazed at the quality and clarity of the picture. It was super easy to install and connect with my phone. This by far was a great investment as I can keep an eye on the pets. The price point was great gas I needed something inexpensive.

For the price, you can’t beat this camera. Just put in a cheap microSD card and it will record for several days. No paid subscription needed. Great app also that alerts you whenever movement or a person is detected. Also picks up sound.

A Nice and Inexpensive Security Camera

My first security camera. Not too difficult to set-up or use. Pretty good quality of video and audio. I appreciate that you are not required to have a subscription to record or view past recordings. All you need is a micro SD card which I purchased along with this security camera. I, also, love that I can still get notifications of movement or people on my phone and view live and past recordings when I'm away from home. Notifications of activity are immediate but viewing the most recent recording takes a few minutes. I like the ease and simplicity of viewing live or past recordings on the app but sometimes it takes a little too long to load. Also, talking through the app to the camera has such a huge delay that it makes it rather useless.
I have run into two instances within a year of owning this where the live feed was working fine but it wasn't recording or allowing me to view the recordings on the app or on PC for no apparent reason at all. There were files and thumbnails when viewing in the app or on PC but it was like the files were corrupted and could not be viewed. The only fix I found was just to unplug and re-plug it to get the camera recording normally again but those past files will still be unavailable. Despite this, I really like this camera. It's been really useful. And it is inexpensive when on sale.

got this to check on my senior cat who has health issues, and for the price I’m impressed! sound is decent, quality is nicer than I expected, and the setup was so beginner friendly. definitely worth the purchase! I love that you don’t need a subscription to use it either, and you can use a memory card to keep recordings— the card you have to get separately, but between that and the camera, I spent under $50. :)

Purchased for a family member that is disabled. Super easy to set up took less than 5 minutes, does require a secure internet connection. Easy to follow instructions. Overall setup was no more than 10 minutes with downloading the app and setting up an account. Camera picture is decent, and sufficient for its intended purpose. Came with screws for easy mounting. Camera can be turned to just about any angle needed which was super helpful for mounting. Would recommend.

Works great as a pet cam when we are gone. I can monitor while away and can even communicate through camera.
Only downside is that is doesn't work looking out window at night when porch light is on. The reflection of glass only shows me the blinds. Lol.
This does have night vision as well. The app is easy to use once it is set up.

Good as Business Security Monitor
Posted .

The product works very well in video quality. I am able to see detail in the recordings and live feed. The volume for the speaker needs to be adjusted lower to be heard clearly, otherwise it sounds very robotic. An issue I have with the app is delayed notification, sometimes half an hour for an event (person detected, motion detected), to show up on my phone. We purchased these for business security, so most of the time, what is being recorded are lights from passing vehicles. I am still learning how to adjust the sensitivity to pick up actual events in our office. For the most part, when an employee enters, I get the notification right away and am reminded to turn of the cameras. It may be that it recognizes the importance of longer event times being significant and sends the notifications right away. Other than that, the app was very easy to install and navigate.
