Need subscription to make them useful
||Posted . Owned for 3 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.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.

Posted .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

decent but....
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.good quality, but the charger plug is not same as most and it calls for 5.5 hours of charging for EACH camera before using, but only gives one chord, so that's at least 22 hours of charging for the 4 cameras... really? Frustrated waiting on the 1st camera as I type this review. So much for getting it up and running quickly. But, from previous camera setup, I know TYhe app is good and easy to use.

Posted .Hi Mike,
Thank you for your review. We're happy to hear you enjoy the ease of use of our Tapo app. We hear your concerns regarding the charge time for each camera; however, once charged and configured, they are designed to operate for some time before recharging.
If you would prefer a more maintenance-free approach to powering the cameras, we also offer Tapo solar panels that are designed to maintain the power and charge capacity of the cameras: https://www.bestbuy.com/site/tp-link-tapo-mountable-solar-panel-for-tapo-home-security-cameras-white/6562035.p?skuId=6562035

TC85 all bricked during set up. Worthless
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Bought 2 3packs of TC85's on sale $179.00 for 3. Upon setupthey all bricked themselves by doing the automatic firmware update and Tapo only suggest returning them to store. this is a known issue for tapo and while mine are new some people are outta warranty and having the same thing happen. Massive failure for tapo. Will go with another brand if they can rip off people with no regard for their custumers.
