Good camera good price at the time

I'm so very impressed with this camera. It's got some brilliant features and yet it's such a great price. It's the easiest thing ive ever set up in my life, once you have chosen your wi fi it pretty much sets itself up. I love the fact that the camera tracks and follows people and when it's dark 2 little spotlights come on so you can see in colour. The quality of the recording is brilliant and the audio is also very good. I have put a 128gb micro sd card in mine which I find is fine for the amount of recordings I get every day although you can have up to 500 gb. There's lots of options to choose from to tailor the camera to your specific needs. I'm so impressed with it I decided to buy another one for the other side of my bungalow, it's like having 2 mini robot security guards the way they move and look around 😁

This is my 4th Tapo unit purchase. Easy to install and connect via the Tapo app, high quality images. Don't forget that you will need an micro SD card if you want to be able to keep and review archive footage. I purchased a 512GB card which cost more than the camera!

I bought this camera not to use with the Tapo ecosystem, but actually to add to an existing IP camera security system (a Synology Security Station), and I'm pleased to say it worked out of the box. The picture quality is pretty good during the day, and night vision benefits from bright IR LED's so it's more than capable. The camera supports both wifi and ethernet, however do bear in mind the ethernet connection doesn't support PoE, so you'll need to run a seperate power cable. Helpfully, the power cable is super long for the camera, but it's unfortunate that there's no PoE support. Even if you're not using the Tapo app to control/record with it, you can easily set up the camera and hand it off to your own NVR. Pan and Tilt is a nice bonus, and works outside of the Tapo app. The camera presents excellent value for money, but loses a star for having ethernet without PoE support!

Now first of all let it be known that I’m an absolute technodinosaur so anything involving Wi Fi, Internet and related issues is a foreign country to me. Having said that, this camera was a doddle to set up. App was easy to navigate and all pairing issues went like clockwork. The camera itself is excellent. Clear video and audio and picks up motion and persons even on low (3) sensitivity. Access to video clips on the app is straightforward. I’m using a 128 Gb card and there seems to be loads of storage and with loop recording the camera just records over earliest recordings. Owing to my total inability to understand smartphone technology and connectivity to the camera I’m left with one irritating issue which does not diminish my review of the camera, merely emphasises my down comings. The phone gives an audible notification of motion detection which is picked up on my Garmin watch. Yes, I completely get the irony of a techno numpty having a smart watch but it alerts my wife if and when I fall off my bike, an increasingly more common event these days. Consequently, as I live on a fairly busy thoroughfare the accursed phone and watch conspire to annoy me by audibly alerting me each time someone walks past, which is the camera’s function, but is somewhat distracting when it does so every couple of minutes. There is undoubtedly a way of switching off notifications, but it is thus far out of my area of competence to find it. Nevertheless, a cracking piece of kit and for the price an excellent buy. Update. After a few months of use I continue to be impressed by this camera. You get used to the notifications and find them useful after a while. The video quality is very good. I must, though, give a resounding thumbs up to Tapo Customer Support. They are second to none in my opinion. I’ve contacted them a couple of times on technical issues and their response has been swift and efficient. Answered my questions with expertise and straightforward advice. Excellent.

Brilliant.Amazing for the money. Full colour or B&W at night. Pan&Tilt (no Zoom) but it does track and follow the movement detected. Easy to play back images and vids. Has audio if you need it. Comes with a power supply and works tirelessly from the router or can be hardwired. You will need to buy an SD Card. Great images for just £45

Well what can I say besides excelent What a brill camera The picture quality is very very good And the AI is tops Very good value The best I’ve had

We now have two of these cameras, one at the front of our house and one at the rear. They were eay to set up following the instructions. You can set up alerts but this got a bit annoying as normal movements set up an alert each time the unit is triggered so was switched off. The camera can tell the difference between humans and other motions (birds, cats and nightime rainfall etc) which is good. No need to pay for cloud storage although that is available as it stores video on a micro usb memory card. Nighttime the camera works very well and if you use the app on your phone you can turn on its light and results will be in full colour. It seems odd when the camera tracks and follows a human around giving a tremendous coverage. You can also set up pre-set positions for the camera to view or even patrol. We don't use the patrol feature but do use the presets. Very good value and we have just bought our daughter one for her new house.

Perfekt för övervakning och för ett bra pris. Funkar otroligt bra

J’ai acheté cette caméra de surveillance TP-Link Tapo C500 pour sécuriser mon espace extérieur, et elle dépasse mes attentes. Voici mon avis détaillé : Points positifs : 1. Qualité d’image excellente : La résolution 1080p offre une image nette et détaillée, même de nuit grâce à la vision nocturne. On peut facilement identifier les visages ou les objets, ce qui est essentiel pour la surveillance. 2. Rotation 360° et suivi de mouvement : La fonction de rotation permet une couverture complète sans angles morts. Le suivi de mouvement est réactif et suit parfaitement les déplacements, ce qui améliore considérablement la sécurité. 3. Détection de personne efficace : Les notifications en temps réel sont précises et différencient bien les personnes des objets ou des animaux, réduisant ainsi les fausses alertes. 4. Étanchéité IP65 : La caméra est parfaitement adaptée aux conditions extérieures. Elle fonctionne sans problème sous la pluie ou dans un environnement poussiéreux. 5. Installation simple et rapide : L’installation est intuitive, que ce soit pour la fixation ou la configuration via l’application Tapo. En moins de 20 minutes, tout était opérationnel. 6. Application conviviale : L’application Tapo est facile à utiliser et permet de gérer les paramètres, consulter les enregistrements, et contrôler la caméra à distance. 7. Rapport qualité-prix imbattable : Pour un modèle avec autant de fonctionnalités (360°, suivi de mouvement, vision nocturne, notifications), le prix est très attractif. Points à améliorer : 1. Stockage local ou cloud limité : Bien qu’il soit possible d’ajouter une carte SD pour le stockage local, l’absence d’un service cloud gratuit ou étendu pourrait être un inconvénient pour certains. 2. Notifications un peu fréquentes : Même si la détection est efficace, il faut bien régler la sensibilité pour éviter d’être submergé par des alertes inutiles. 3. Câblage apparent : Le câble d’alimentation est un peu trop visible une fois installé. Une version totalement sans fil serait encore plus pratique pour certains emplacements. Conclusion : La caméra de surveillance TP-Link Tapo C500 est une excellente option pour sécuriser un espace extérieur. Elle combine une qualité d’image remarquable, des fonctionnalités avancées comme le suivi de mouvement et une installation simple. Elle est parfaite pour un usage résidentiel ou professionnel à un prix très abordable. Je la recommande sans hésiter !

Super fast delivery from Amazon. Item itself very easy to install once you plan for power source location etc. Set up very easy and quality of image, pan, tilt, AI detection and notifications are all high end. Really happy with product overall and the addition of alarm and spotlight are very good. The two way speech is good but in my case I mounted camera up under eaves and when I talk back it is a little low, but the microphone on camera picks everything up perfectly and can be volume controlled. The panoramic view is great and the Patrol mode is also very good. App easy to use but lots of function on it so it does take a little getting used to. That being said its a very good app.No problem recommending this product. My installation took roughly one hour from start to finish with all functionality operational. Its 5 ***** all round from me.

PCで見れて繋ぎぱなしでlphoneもipadでも使えるのはとGeminiに質問したらコチラを推薦されてセール中だったので購入してみました。商品説明文にも説明書にもpcで使えるとは書いていませんがGeminiが詳しく設定方法まで教えてくれました。以前使っていた監視カメラは10分ほどで消えますがコチラは消さない限り繋ぎぱなしでいけるみたいです。pcではカメラの向きは固定ですがipadやiphoneでは動かせます。まだ設置はしてませんが綺麗に映ってます。耐久性は分かりませんがイイ商品だと思います。

Excellent product clear images at night time
