It's what you expect for the price and a bit more. Audio is ok at the best, and infrared works pretty good. Image is ok, but I realize that the lack of movements and zoom make it good for generic places only, not somewhere you want the option to dig in more.

For the price you pay this is an amazing camera. Good quality, good sound. The speaker can be a bit louder when talking through the camera but for the price I understand. Highly recommended for first timers in security.

Great little camera for price.
Can add on later if you want. Several possibilities with it. It has free phone notification and viewing or you pay small monthly fee for extras.

Set up is fairly easy. Limited access if you have more than one camera, cannot see 2 cameras with one app. Had problems with one unit going off line nightly, not sure if it was the cold temps or what but has worked well in warm temps and it's replacement has worked well in colder temps. (Had another cam that was working while the Kasa was down). Other wise it is a neat little cam for the price.

Works well with Kasa phone app. Wide view and let’s you select activity zones you want notifications from. Only complaint is the app no longer sends sound notifications? Have to rely on my blink cameras for that

I got this because I have a very old, very sick dog and I was always a wreck leaving for work not knowing if she was okay. I didn't need anything super fancy, I don't need it record and save the video (this can, you just have to sign up for it), I just needed to be able to see her when I opened the app. I love that I could literally mount it up on my wall and tilt it in whatever direction I needed to see. My parents have a VERY expensive security system, and they have to have tons of cameras because they are all fixed. My brother has the indoor ring to watch his dogs, same thing, all fixed position. All MUCH more expensive then this. I also love that it plugs in and doesn't require charging. Where I have it I use cord clips and it runs behind my window sill, you can't even see it! The only thing I have to remember is that sometimes the cord gets hit and then it changes the angle slightly. I also have to remember to clean it (it's way up by the ceiling, so I honestly forget), but when the picture gets unclear, that's usually why. Such a great purchase! I came on here to buy one for outside as well. This is a great brand, can't go wrong.

Awkward if you don't pay for cloud storage

TPLink really wants you to pay for their monthly cloud storage; if you don't, although you can still get events recorded to SD card, the app seems to be intentionally designed to make using that feature awkward and slightly confusing.
Although the camera will still send you notifications when it detects activity, the camera page in the app will always incorrectly show "No activity has been detected..." - even though all of your recordings are actually there, behind the "24/7" button.
By the way, calling it "24/7" is misleading, as it only records when it detects activity (although that's OK), and there's a lag of several minutes between when the event happens and when the recording actually shows up.
The person detection is unreliable, although it does seem to at least detect motion whenever there's a person in view.
Hardware-wise, the picture quality is very good; I haven't tried the audio. The night vision is good too.
Overall, I think this camera is fine if you understand the limitations or you are OK with paying the monthly fee, but I don't think it stands out in any particular way.
P.S. I'm using this camera with the iPhone Kasa app. I don't know if the Android app would be different or better.

Has great picture quality, easy to use. It's nice you can install a SD card to record rather than pay for a subscription with other cameras. I don't have many issues other than trying to view recorded footage at times can be a challenge. Also a great price!

TP-Link - Kasa Spot Indoor 1080p Wi-Fi Wireless N

Needed an inexpensive indoor camera to monitor a kitchen area in our AirBnB.
This camera fit the bill perfectly!
Easy to install (you need to buy a flash card to store the video on).
Trained our 70+ year old nontechie dorm supervisor in a short time!
The 128GB flash card we bought will hold several weeks of continuous monitoring (then wraps over oldest). You can easily pick out a time to review. The camera can be setup with motion detection (any), human motion detection, or no motion detection (always on). Can be setup to alert the App user each time motion detected, or not. Very flexible!

TP-Link Kasa Indoor 1080p Wi-Fi Wireless Network Surveillance Camera- Black/White
The description threw me off at first, this IS a color camera that just has black and white parts. Night vision is in black in white, but quite clear. I am not using the best available image quality in the camera and find the images very clear, even with little light. It has a very wide field of view. The audio is better than my Ring doorbell. Of course everyone's situation could be different. I really like the micro SD recording. Easy to set up using a mobile app.

Great camera. I have this and a nest indoor cam, and this does everything the nest cam does and is a fraction of the price. You can constantly record if you insert a micro sd card. I’ve had this for a while now and I haven’t had any issues with it. I turn it on when I leave and off then I get home though the IFTTT app; works great!

If I could I would give this more stars! I got this solely to keep an eye on my kids while at work , they are always saying she did it and vise versa. This camera has a clear, crisp picture that shows my entire living room and dining room! Very nice wide view! Clear night vision! Also allows you to talk through the camera which comes in handy when there are sibling rivalries! Love this camera
