Customer Ratings & Reviews

This 3-camera TP-Link smart security set perfectly fulfilled my need to monitor and protect the surroundings of my home. The price is very reasonable, especially considering the wide range of features it offers. Each camera provides clear 2K video quality and comes equipped with all the essential and modern sensors — including motion detection, person and vehicle recognition, two-way audio, battery monitoring, and full remote access via mobile. You can even review recorded clips directly from your phone, which is incredibly convenient. I’ve been using the system for about a year and a half, and it still performs flawlessly. The cameras are weather-resistant and built to last outdoors. Battery life is excellent and varies depending on the settings you choose, but in my experience, it lasts a long time with minimal maintenance. Overall, this is a reliable and feature-packed solution for home security. Highly recommended!

Set up: Super quick and easy. Just attach the base to a surface with the 3M sheet (or with screws), and the camera attaches to the base with its magenetic properties. Then just download the app and the camera is detected pretty quick. Camera: built-in speaker, built-in light, built-in alarm, picture quality is amazing (crisp and clear whether day or night), and the camera itself is sturdy and well-built. Battery: Lasts more than 3 weeks without much activity detection, and roughly over 2 weeks with all day/daily activty. Cameras charge pretty quick (1-2 hrs) depending on how low your battery is. App: This app is amazing! Better than Arlo for sure. So many customizable features! It took me a few days to explore everything it offers. You can automate it in many ways and switch from "home mode" and "away mode" through a scheduled time. You can also set up the camera to only detect specific movement like: only pets, only people, only vehicles, or just general movement - and it alerts you of what type of detection it picks up (vehicle, pet, etc.) The app allows for "privacy mode" if you share your camera app with family members with just one click, so it doesnt send alerts. You can also take pics and record videos through the app and it saves on your phone. It has so many more features to make it simplify its use, you just have to explore the app and activate/customize the features to your liking. Subscription Service: way more affordable than Arlo or Ring. $3.49/device or $11.99/10 devices per month. There's in between prices for less cameras as well, and you can do a yearly service which saves you money if you want to pay up front.

Good battery life. Works great easy to install. Clear vision.

Easy to set up, excellent quality and the app makes it easy to change and customise settings for how we want it. The metal base plates were easy to install in the house sidings and the magnets are strong and make it easy to change angle and charge.

These cameras have a great picture. They’re easy to setup and install. You can set the alarm to go off only if a person is detected. You can also set a time you want the alarm to automatically come on and go off. They’re magnetic which I was skeptical about. I was scared they would fall if we got bad winds, but the magnet is very strong. We haven’t had any issues with them not staying where we position them. We previously had Blink, but we like these cameras way better.

I've been pleased. Wired will always provide max resolution and superior long-range motion detection but this strikes a great balance of convenience and performance. Battery life, range and image quality have been as advertised. App is good. Motion sensitivity is great with instant notifications and practically no false positives. Love how usable they are without a subscription. Auto firmware updates. Also solid and substantial build with strong magnets. A lot to like. Aww

Camera is easy to set up and maintain. Picture resolution and viewing field are good. Battery life is great. WiFi range is moderate. An external antenna may help this. The Tapo app needs a feature to input a schedule for the Privacy Mode to automatically turn off and on and preset times. Also, I find the Tapo app communication of setting changes to the individual cameras is slow - example, turning off the Privacy Mode in the app doesn't always turn it off on the camera.

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.

Amazing clarity! Easy set up. These are so handy since they are wireless. I have them installed on my gutters and they work perfectly. Lots of customizable options in the app too. The Tapo app now works with Kasa so everything Tp-Link is in a single app now...so helpful. Definitely recommend! FYI: if you're having issues connecting to Wi-Fi you have to go into your router settings in the app from X-Finity/Comcast/Spectrum etc. and temporarily switch from 5g to 2.4g too let them connect. Once connected they're good to go. Most newer Wi-Fi installs don't have the 2.4g visible so this is a step a lot of people are missing.

Easy to install and the cameras battery life last more than 4 months, 2khd camera lenses and night vision is super clear. The app is easy to install from the app store.

We have had good success with these cameras. Connectivity works well. Image quality very good. Motion detection is reliable except for small animals. Added solar panels have also been reliable. Love the flexibility of the magnetic mounting.

I’m really impressed with these cameras. The setup was easy. The video quality is sharp, even in low light, and the magnetic base makes installation a breeze. The Tapo app is user-friendly, allowing me to view live feeds, receive motion detection alerts, and adjust settings on the go. Overall, these cameras give me the confidence of knowing my home is well-protected.

I like how versatile they are where you can connect to a magnetic place screw it in or stick it somewhere the app works well with it battery life is great picture quality is good. I had wired cameras before with a DVR the only good thing about that is it saves everything not just motion clips.

Easy to install and set up. You really need to get memory card but don't have to. Lots of settings and configuration. Seems to work great, still tweaking settings. Great buy no special service or subscriptions required.

I bought a 3 pack 6 months ago and came back for another 3 pack these are awesome! Battery life is great and so easy to instal. The video is great quality. And I love that I can turn on a light.

Great product! Own 3 TC85/C425 cameras. Will buy more. Extremely easy to install and use. Love that it doesn’t have unsightly cords or need a nearby outlet. Was much easier to mount on the ceiling or wall than the wired Tapo cameras. Beyond the initial charging, I haven’t had to recharge it in the 6 months of ownership and I won’t need to recharge for at least a few more months. The night vision and microphone are great. The response time to view the live feed could be a little faster but it’s not bad. The app is easy to use and add cameras and other Tapo items; but the notification alert system and zone accuracy are a little wonky. I don’t get alerted (but video was captured) or I was alerted too much. It detects pets as humans. I gave up on trying to fine tune the zones and alerts. The alert to my phone has a couple second delay from when the activity occurred. These are small issues for my needs. I mainly use three of these TC85 cameras indoor for pet monitoring when away.

I upgraded to the newer arlo cameras before these and ended up taking them back. I figured id try these cameras out. And so far they are working great. The videoes are siper clear and they are working 10 times better then the high dollar aro cameras.

Overall, I'm happy with this purchase; it does a good job of recognizing people. I like being able to use 3M stickers and magnets to avoid drilling holes in the house's siding. The quality is good and I can zoom in on the video. Formatting the SD card is done by the camera itself. I used one for the front of the house, another for the back, and the third one, I plug into the AC vents in the house where my kids are playing, so I can look at them from anywhere. It's very handy.

For the average person these are great, video quality is fantastic, being able to pull it up on my phone at a moments notice is great, but the best part of these camera's, you don't have to pay a monthly fee to use them. Slap a SD card in there and now you can save everything, they auto write over the oldest stuff first when they fill up. The battery like is not what is advertised in my experience, however, they are the best I've ever had. I charged them when I bought these which is almost 3 months ago and they all have on average about 35-50 percent left. I'm not upset about the battery level because I live on a road that has a decent amount of traffic so I get pinged at least 4 times a day. These are also nice because it will tell you weather it was just movement or if it was a person.

Amazingly easy to install (and I have NO skills for this) and clear picture. I feel so much more secure, knowing this is recording actions and I can go back to check them any time!
