    Cameras work great but they do not work with the Google home app on your phone. You can only view on the Google hub. This makes the cameras very inconvenient if you already have Google cameras.

    Excellent clarity. Unless you have no activity, there is no way the battery lasts 300 days, I was down to 37% after 45 days. Relatively easy set up

    I bought these based on reviews and the PC Magazine recommendation of Camera of the Year. Big mistake. They constantly struggle to remain connected to our network all hours of the day and night. We have a mesh WiFi system with more than adequate speeds and connectivity at each camera location. I have tried all the network settings and tips I’ve found online but nothing helps. We have one camera that’s pointing to a spot in our yard where we leave food for wildlife. More times than not, the food will be eaten and we will have no recordings of it happening. Super frustrating and I wish I had bought something else. Once our year of TapoCare is up I will be purchasing different cameras to replace these. I honestly cannot think of a more disappointing purchase in my entire life.

    Pros: Camera setup was relatively easy. Picture is good. Cons: They will notify you when motion is detected. However they will not send you a screenshot in the notification unless you subscribe to the service. You have to pay more money for each camer you set up. If someone walks by and a camera detects the motion, it will send you a notification. When you click the notification, it takes you to the live camera feed. By then the person is already gone. Useless garbage.

      Hello Sara,

      Yes Rich Notifications with snapshots are a feature of TapoCare. However, if you are using local storage then when you click on a notification you just need to click on Playback and Download to see the detected event.

      Best Regards
