Excellent camera I like the way it can be set just for humans or motion and vehicles

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.

These are good quality cameras and easy to install. I added SD cards for recording and playback making these excellent for security. The app works well and allows sharing so multiple people can have access to the cameras.

These cameras are a great deal. Very reliable and the magnet is strong. Picture quality is not super clear however the picture is good enough in daylight and at night.

I purchased these cameras a week ago after seeing a lot of great reviews. I will say the setup and installation was very simple, the 2k quality was great, however, their app needs big improvements.
There is currently no way to modify the notification sound when your camera detects motion. It uses your phones default notification sound and their tech support confirmed you can’t change that.
So, you won’t know the difference between someone walking up to your house at 2am trying to break in or if you’re getting a weather alert. The notification sound is the same.
I ended up returning them because they’re useless when f they can’t uniquely alert you when someone is detected outside.

Hello Jeff. This is because the app uses your device's push notifications. The settings and limitations are based on your phone or tablet's notification and sound settings. The only thing configurable from the app is the type of notifications you want to push to your phone/tablet.

Im very happy with my new cameras. The picture and sound quality are impressive. Installation was straight forward and the directions actually made sense. The battery performance has been great. Zero complaints from me!

We really like these cameras. They mount with magnets, stayed up during both Hurricane Helene & Milton. The color is good. We don’t use the cloud and we get notified quickly if someone is walking by or cars at front. We purchased two more we liked them so much. They can be sensitive if you have trees & need to lower the sensitivity. I recommend these cameras.

Easy to set up, easy to use. Great picture quality and really good value

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.
I recommend contacting our support team. They can help identify any potential causes for these concerns and help find potential solutions. Support is free and available 24 hours a day. Email or call [email protected] 866-225-8139 and an agent will be happy to help.

These cameras are pretty great! I was a little skeptical at first, being that I’ve used Ring for the last couple of years. But I was never really happy with any of the Ring products. These TP-Link Tapo cameras work flawlessly for us. So much more camera coverage, so much easier to install, hold way longer of a charge and great price for a pack of 3! Still able to communicate with visitors through them and I think they actually have more and better features!

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.
