I’m really impressed with this product! It arrived on time and was exactly as described. The quality is great – sturdy, well-made, and it looks even better in person. I've been using it regularly and it performs just as expected, if not better.What I especially like is how easy it was to set up and use. You can tell a lot of thought went into the design. It’s reliable, and I’ve had no issues at all. For the price, it’s an excellent value.I’d definitely recommend this to anyone considering it. Whether you’re buying it for yourself or as a gift, you won’t be disappointed!

A Reliable Security Camera with Smart Features and Excellent Picture Quality
If you're looking for a reliable security camera with excellent picture quality, smart features, and a well-designed app, this one is a solid choice. The auto-tracking feature is particularly impressive, smoothly following movement to capture everything in view, and the app is intuitive and easy to use.That said, there are a couple of areas that could be improved. When setting up zones, it would be much easier if you could add individual nodes to a zone rather than having to create multiple zones to cover irregular areas. It would also be great to have an option to adjust the timeout on the auto-tracking feature so the camera re-centres more quickly after losing sight of an object.Apart from that, it’s a fantastic all-round camera and definitely worth the money. I’ll be buying a couple more, and if you’re considering one, I’d highly recommend hard-wiring it instead of relying on WiFi for the best performance.

Excellent
Superb quality in every way from ease of set up to multitude of features and excellent video quality both daytime and night vision - ethernet hard wired so unable to comment on wifi capabilities

Good product in general
Great for price and has been OK to date, very pleased with functionality and opperation of the camera, lots of features for what is a budget price unit and generally no need to subscribe to anything as long as you fit an SD card, but if you mount low down is could be damaged easily by someone up to no good, poss mount within a metal camera cage for better protection.

Excellent
Why did you choose this product over others?:Great product for the price !Easy to set up on WiFi, wouldn't accept sd card as unformatted, popped it into my laptop ( didn't do anything other than look at the storage) and back into camera and worked fine. Great picture quality, easy to use app, changes are easy but didn't really need any, virtually unbox, download app,add to WiFi, mount & off you go. I bought a 2nd camera as soon as I seen how good this was. No negatives at all. Highly recommended.

Another great tapo camera
Another excellent tapo camera. This is my 4th. Very easy and quick to set up. Local recording on SD card. Can watch all 4 at once. I have several tapo bulbs and timers. All great. Thinking of ditching my Ring doorbell subs in favour of the tapo which is subscription free as with the cameras. This one has 360 degree pan and tilt. LED lights, night vision. All have a number of options for notifications. Helps us keep an eye on what our hounds are doing.

Good value
Good for what they are required for, clarity could be better but for the money they are top notch. I wanted them for bird watching and i would have been better with a higher spec model. But these do everything i require but better quality and bits i could do with is lacking. However saying that these are very good for the money. The only real problem is that i have to use an internet booster due to the positioning of the cameras.
