Customer Ratings & Reviews

Bought these for ease of use with installation and avoiding the hassle of running wire and a box sitting around. Overall, the cameras function as intended. With the Tapo app you can adjust perimeters for various types of detection, sensitivity, and when sends a notification. Video quality is good at 2K and 720p isn't terrible. Both during the day and night, IR works great. Microphone functions as intended, sound quality when speaking through the app has a muffled sound at the cameras. Battery life varies based on the recording/sensitivity perimeters you set. However, if the camera becomes unresponsive, it will remain on without lights and drain the battery continuously. I've had this happen on 3 different occasions and I've had these installed for 42 days. Both cameras outside froze and I couldn't view them on the app. I had to restart the cameras where I mounted them, unfortunately I had to pull out my ladder again to reach them. So, ease of access in case this happens should be a consideration. When frozen, the battery will drain, both cameras went from 92% & 96% to 54% and 65% over the course of 4 days.

I've had these cameras for a week now. installation was extremely easy. there's a double-sided adhesive sticker that sticks to the siding and the magnetic base, so there was no need for drilling. they held up to an extreme storm we had with strong wind and rain. picture and recordings are clear. my biggest complaint is the night vision. i purchased these specifically for the colored night vision. however, in order to have color night vision, the spotlight needs to be on all night, which would just drain the battery. i wish there was a way to make it motion sensored as well. if there is someone, please let me know. i've messed around with the app quite a bit and can't seem to find a way. overall, im extremely happy with these cameras. I just wish i could have the spotlight motion sensored for night vision.

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.

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 was super easy, and the range is great for my needs. The video quality is pretty good as well. What's not great is the sound quality. The playback videos consistently have broken audio where the sound goes in and out. While audio is not nearly as important as the video feed when it comes to security cameras, it's nice to be able to clearly hear what's going on, and these cameras just don't deliver in the audio department.

Great range of view, easy to mount, just wish battery lasted as long as they said

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.

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

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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 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.

Good cameras. Easy to setup and long battery life.
