Excellent product. The magnetic mounts make it super easy to set the cameras in place without tools provided you've got a metal surface to attach them to. (not aluminum)
WIFI setup was easy. The app works well.
They always let me down when I need them the most.

These cameras have a beautiful picture, they stay online (most of the time), and the batteries last for a while. Everytime I've needed them though, the recording was just not there for one reason or another. I guess if you want to use their cloud service that costs almost as much as the cameras per year, the results might be better for you. I bought these for the SD card feature though, and that feature is sub-par at best. I suspect they put less effort into making that feature reliable since their real motive must be to sink you into their cloud recording service so you can give them more money after you've already dropped a dime on the product. I certainly won't be addidng on to these and will be looking at other alternatives. It really stinks because I kind of like TP-Link products.

These are really good. We can see everything and they were easy to install, connect, etc. My only issue is setting the sensitivity.

Camera works great. great quality. easy to install. battery not lasting as advertised since there is lot of activity (in office), i guess for home usage, it should be better. anyways, you can always connect power supply if needed.
Love their software too + cloud recording not too expensive for up to 10 cameras.

Great quality cameras however the app could offer a little better performance. The cameras have crisp and clear video, however the app keeps resetting my motion zones and it doesn’t always capture motion during certain times of day. I put a WiFi extender outside so that helped, but it still seems like an issue between the cameras and software.

Seems well built. Very good video quality. Very easy to setup and manage with app.
Audio quality is worse than poor with little more than squeeks, chirps, and just a lot of noise. Can’t understand speech even when spoken close to the camera.
Thank you for your review. We always suggest making sure your router's Wi-Fi signal is strong enough where the device is located. In the Tapo app, there is a feature that lets you check the Wi-Fi signal strength of your Tapo devices. With the app open, look within the Device Settings menu to see the signal strength.
If the signal is within the ideal range, and you're still experiencing these symptoms, please ensure your Tapo app is up to date, then update your smart device's firmware by selecting Me → Firmware Update within the Tapo app.
If you'd like help with any of these steps, contact our support team through any of the resources provided with the product or on our official website, and a Support Agent will follow up with you directly.
Thank you, TP-Link Systems Support

Very pleased with the value for the money. It was fairly easy to install and set up. There is some features that they can improve upon such as the 24 hour format on the time of recordings. But this is minor to the peace of mind with the coverage and numerous options and features.

Pro; the video is amazing. The clarity is the best I’ve seen and I’ve had quite a few.
Cons: the App SUCKS. You can’t select record and close the program because it stops the camera.
I think TP did a great job with the camera itself. I’m also getting great battery life. I have 3 w/mag base and 3 with Tapo HUB.
I have no idea what toddler wrote the app or worse yet the guy/girl who approved it. It is the definition of happy and sad at the same time

Great cameras, If you’re looking for something that’s easy to mount yourself the app is easy to use and the videos are clear. The audio was clear really really good cameras for the price.

I would recommend this camera to anyone who is looking for a reliable water resistant outdoor security camera. Picture quality is good and I enjoy talking through the camera. I did purchase the ability to save option snaps on the cloud to refer back to. Very easy to install and step by step directions to set up.

I was able to connect these to my wifi even though they are outside. (I've had other products (birdfeeder) which couldn't do that.) There's no way that the battery will last the 300 days. I'll probably get 2-3 months and then they'll need to be recharged. They're attached via magnet, so if they're within arms reach, someone could just grab it and walk away with it. At least you'll get them on camera doing it. I'm quite happy with the purchase.

Easy to set up, easy to use. Works well. Battery lasts adequately. The only nit pick would that you can't record footage from all cameras to one SD card.

These cameras were easy to hookup and install. Notifications for motion is instant and the video quality is high. You do not need to pay for a subscription to save your videos, I just bought a memory chip. I highly recommend these cameras.

I've ben using several other brands of cameras for the past few years and some of them were good as long as they lasted. So I decided to try these. They were on sale so I bought and placed them around the house. So far they are working well.
