Just What I Was Looking For

Works really well. I needed something to use as a monitor to keep an eye on my elderly Mom, and this was perfect. I could adjust the view to include her recliner and bed. And the night vision was great -- allowing me to see everything I needed to even in the dark of night.
Only quibbles: It's at times a little laggy getting the app to open when I used it on my chromebook. Unlike a baby monitor, it's not a continuous feed. However, I could keep it on with the chromebook plugged in (although it would pause after a while and I'd have to tap a "continue" button). Lastly, the volume isn't good at all.
But, compared to a google nest max I tried, this was exactly what I needed -- and at only 20% the cost of the nest max.

LOVE this camera. It was incredibly easy to set up. Download the app and you can log in and watch your home in seconds. The camera rotates almost completely around and up and down. I have it in the living room and I can see into the kitchen, upstairs, and all around the room. The microphone allows you to even hear that is going on. I can spy on my family and dogs (kinda creepy my kids say). It has a motion sensor and it will follow motion around the room. It sometimes will move to the TV screen if the TV is on. You can control the direction with your phone. BEST purchase

We use this to watch our pets while we are away. It has a 360-degree view and is very easy to set up. You can also "speak" through the app while you are away and it will come through the camera. It freaks our dogs out every time. Great value for the price but wish they would offer this as a package deal. The quality of the video is very clear and surprisingly good considering the lower-end price point.

Got this so I could check on my dog while at work. It has a good picture and I like being able to talk to my dog with it. I like that it sends me an alert if there’s movement or sound detected. I have had a couple of times where it lost connection and I had to reset it completely by uninstalling it and adding it back.

This camera is great, it records 24hrs, has night vision, you can move the lens left and right, up and down. You do not need any cloud subscription service, it records all to microSD card. I recommend SanDisk for webcams and dashcams. It is controlled with the phone app but it keeps recording when your internet and home wi-fi is down so you can watch recordings later when wi-fi is back or by removing the card.

Simply a well made and well functioning device. The spot pan camera will either follow the action with in a determined range or remain stationary - the features are endless and ultimately it provides a very clear 1080p image which is better than most cameras on the market in this price range and reputation. Its control from the app is almost seamless.

Best bang for your buck when it comes to home security. Saved me an issue with a contractor in my house when there was damage caused by them and my camera caught everything. I use a SD card for video storage, works well. Clarity is good for 1080p, sound is alright. Speaking through the camera is hard to hear but does work.

People seem to have extreme expectations, for me I find this a great device and picture. With an SD card in you do not need to pay a subscription, the picture quality is more than acceptable, night vision great, speaker and microphone to talk, pan and tilt, I love it. Have 3 of these, I watch my dogs and keep them from barking so the tenants don't go crazy.

I bought this for my wife so that she could watch our cats while we are away from the house. She loves it! The picture quality if very sharp in the daylight and even at night! We enjoy that we can move the camera around to look for the kitties in our game room. The two way speaker seems to work well and the app is very nice. I'm very impressed!

Great Home WiFi Camera

Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.

This is probably the best budget WiFi camera you can get for your home. It tilts, pans, and have night vision. All in 1080p. Without the Kasa subscription, unless you have an SD card installed, you will not be able to record 24/7 or have access OUTSIDE of your home network. It works with other voice operated controls (sold separately or course) and you'll have to set it up. "Alexa, show me camera 1"... It works indoors and outdoors and my only quip about it is the audible motor when it pans when viewing through the app or other devices. It's also heard when you're next to it, but other than that I have no other issues. It does exactly what it says it does and designed for.
So if you're looking for something on the low end and WiFi. This is for you.

Overall, I am very pleased with Kasa Cameras.I have 2 of these cameras in 2 areas that are large enough they require a camera that can pan, My other 14 cameras are the regular Kasa spot cameras that are able to over an entire area. These cameras overall are very good quality both in daylight and with night vision. I use some of them to check on water leaks and others to check on cars in the driveway. Since these are indoor cameras the only shortfall is at night the ones that look out on the driveway have an issue looking out through the window on to the driveways at night because of the reflection from the camera LED's. Setting the sensitivity of the cameras is what I am working on now so the notifications received are not as frequent.

Love this camera. It gives such a feeling of security when we are away from home. It was easy to hook up and has a beautiful clear picture. Very reasonable price, not super noticeable to others. Great purchase!

Great camera and the price was awesome too. Loved how easy it was to setup and it actually connected with my wifi. Our wifi for some reason is always hit and miss with products that are only 2ghz only. Like our old Furbo would work less than half the time that’s why I got this to keep an eye on our dogs and home. This one is great the only thing that’s a downer is to have notifications and taping you need to pay for a subscription. The good thing is that it’s not so expensive as others as right now it’s $30 for a year. All in all I love it.

This is a pretty unbelievable camera for the price! The picture quality is amazing and the motion sensor is accurate and just sensitive enough. The app is good and pretty easy to use, and the cloud feature makes it easy to save clips without using the sd card. My only issue is how troublesome it is to change networks; you have to reset the entire device and set it up again. Luckily, I've only had to do that once!
