Title: Tapo home security Wi-Fi camera. Wonderful for good selling price!
Review: Would buy this product again. I love the audio two way built-in microphone, night vision period. It Has very easy instructions, not complicated. Love the look and the size for all the features it has. Like the swivel sitting on the stand. I like the wall mounting feature that’s pretty cool. I love the size for all the features it carries. Satisfied with all the features 1080 P full high definition, motion detection, cool alarm system that triggers sound to frighten unwanted visitors, night vision up to 30 feet, love two-way audio for communication and built-in microphone and speaker, send moments with loved ones, save moments and can set up within minutes. Would buy again because it has all I needed. Very satisfied with Tapo.

Title: Good camera
Review: Nice little camera that i use to keep an eye on my daughter while at work. It was slightly difficult to connect to my WiFi but after moving it closer to it, it finally connected and is working just fine. Clear picture during the day and great night vision mode. You can do a 30 day free trial for the storage or just simply get a micro SD card for store any footage.

Title: Wow!!
Review: Great picture quality for such a small and inexpensive camera. I bought two to evaluate their quality and performance, and I am well satisfied with their performance. Set up was easy and quick. I will be buying more of these to help monitor additional blind spots around my home.

Title: Camera
Review: Nice inexpensive camera! I recieved the camera quickly and set up was far easier than I thought it was going to be. I downloaded the app and followed the instructions and within 15 minutes I was able see the room on my phone. It has different settings you can set to notify you. The picture is clear and it has night vision as well. It has motion detection as well as facial recognition. You can also record. It would be great for security or it can keep an eye on your favorite pet. The size it perfect to put just about anywhere you can sit it anywhere or you can hang it on the wall. You will not regret your purchase.

Title: Exceptional Camera with Amazing Features and Crystal-Clear Night Vision!
Review: I recently purchased the Tapo home security indoor camera, and it has exceeded my expectations. The picture quality is fantastic in both 720p and 1080p, and the ability to switch between resolutions is a nice touch. I usually keep it on auto, but both look much better than I expected.The motion detection is spot-on, even on the lowest sensitivity setting. It still picks up movement that other cameras would miss, which gives me extra peace of mind. Night vision is also very clear, and I’ve had no issues with it so far.One of my favorite features is the baby crying detection. It even picked up my dog whining when I was late getting home from work and couldn’t feed her on time. I love that even the slightest sound triggers an alert on the default settings.The app is super easy to use, and installation was a breeze. I also purchased two Amazon Basics micro SD cards—one for this camera and one for another model I bought—and they work perfectly.The only downside is that my dog kept triggering the people detection feature, so that part could use some improvement. Still, I plan to buy more cameras for other areas of the house. Overall, this is a great product!

Title: Affordable choice
Review: It’s pretty straight forward, easy to setup and use. I just needed an extra cam for the crib and this does the job well. The picture is clear even the night mode, no complaint. I can still set it up to detect crying/movement so that’s great. The only con is I can’t pan it around unlike the other model I have. Overall, this is an affordable solution to what I need it for.

Review: Primera vez que compró cámaras de seguridad. Este modelo (C 100) y esta marca (TAPO) me pareció muy bueno, no conozco otras, por lo bien que se ve la imagen y sus funciones:un zoom muy bueno; audio bidireccional puedo hablar con alguien cerca de la cámara en mi casa estando yo fuera y lejos; me envía notificaciones de movimiento que puedo configurar a mi gusto o desactivar; la app TAPO es gratis y guarda el red de internet y la clave de modo que no hay que buscarla ni escribir la clave cuando añadimos una nueva cámara; la configuración de las cámaras es muy sencilla; la app permite la opción de guardar en la nube lo que la cámara graba o se puede grabar en micro SD (hasta 128 gb) en la cámara; la configuración de una nueva cámara es muy rápida (6 minutos me llevó y 2 minutos es de la actualización del firmware y se hace sola) gracias a que la app guarda los datos de la red; trae tornillos y un papel marcado donde se deben hacer los hoyos para colocarla; una vez colocada en la pared se puede dirigir hacia donde uno quiere.Es una cámara fija, no sigue el movimiento, pero eso era lo que yo quería. Algo sencillo y económico que me permitiera ver en tiempo real lo que pasa en el interior de mi casa.Sugerencias/Tips:1.- Primero configuren cada cámara y luego las colocan. El celular debe estar cerca de la cámara durante la configuración. Pueden usar el mismo cable a toma corriente para todas las cámaras durante la configuración de cada una.2.- Desconecten la(s) cámara(s) que ya configuraron cuando configuren una nueva.En resumen me parece que el beneficio que se obtiene supera el precio que se paga!Ahora falta conocer su funcionamiento a largo plazo...

Review: The photo you see is from the Tapo app, taken at night, during a fairly heavy snowstorm in Quebec Canada ey! The camera is setup in the bedroom, so picture is seen through a window, not bad ey! I also own an Ezviz indoor camera(CN6060 I believe) setup through a window also, but the light on the camera reflects in the window so I can't see anything at night.Tapo says night vision extends to 30 ft, but as you can see, houses on the other side of the street are at least 75 feet away and you can still see them, although I am sure streetlights help a lot. Night detection is 30 feet, maybe more. I set up the camera to detect persons only, and it works fine as long as persons step on my property. It does detect some persons on the street, if they walk on my side of the street.Audio is decent too, have not really used it, but did hear my wife that was standing at least 15 feet away from the camera. She made me turn audio off, camera is in the bedroom after all! :- ISetup is very easy, done in 10-15 minutes on both iPad and iPhone. This thing is so light, I taped it to the top of the window, upside down, adjusted the angle, reversed the picture in the app and I was done.You can view the camera feed on a computer through VLC media player (VideoLan, it's free to download). You need to setup a separate, free Tapo account account for this, I have read somewhere in the Tapo help that you can do everything with one account, but it did not work for me. Doc should be made clearer about this. After 3 days, the feed does not show on VLC anymore (still works fine on iPhone and iPad), but I will reboot eventually and it will probably work again. I need to input username and password in VLC everytime I want to see the feed, maybe I will dive into the VLC help and automate this.I have bought a micro SD card (128Gb max for this model) and will install it soon. Doc says that if you put in a card, the feed to external device (VLC in this case) will not work. I hope this is not the case, will see.Best part is that no membership is required. You get a 30-day free trial, but external feed will not work with membership or free trial, so I cancelled it before trying it out, so I can`t comment on membership.There is a 2K and maybe even 4K model of this camera, but since I own over 20 smart devices, my Wifi is not as fast as it used to be, Full HD is enough for now.This is a great camera, even more so if you're new to smart devices. I will probably buy a few more soon, especially if it stays or goes on sale again. ''Alexa, show me camera two''!Update Jan 23rd: Viewing the camera stream through VLC Media player stopped working after 2-3 days, VLC cannot connect to the camera. I setup Agent DVR free software instead and it works OK, but the picture is a bit grainy, but it does record detected persons automatically.Update Jan 28 2024: I have seen a review that says you have to pay the subscription fee for motion detection to work, this is not true. Motion detection (I set it to person detection only) works fine, I get a notification on my phone (see photo in french cause my iPhone is set to french) when a person is detected.
