This camera did not disappoint in the usual Tapo high quality cameras.

The picture quality is fantastic! It has a very smooth and silent pan and tilt that is barely heard and hardly seen.

This is such high quality at a low price that we need to support this company to continue in this tradition of high quality without making it unaffordable.
Hopefully we can see a solar variant of this camera soon.

Hard to beat for price.

Reviewed in the United States on April 7, 2024

Style: 2K w/Color Night VisionVerified Purchase

There’s 1 downside to WiFi cameras. Your internet speed has to include enough upload gbps per camera for optimal results. Example 10 gbps is enough for 3-4 cameras unless you’re uploading something at the same time. Yes you can run 8-10 cameras but you’ll see delays, buffering and be disappointed in speeds. Proper upload speeds is vital so you can run your cameras and other uploading data (basically sending, example : to cloud, to another devices to private storage). If you use cameras for live viewing and no saving video upload speeds aren’t important.
That said, these Tapo ptz cameras work good, they move properly, app is intuitive, storage is cheap $10 for 10 cameras for 30 days, they’re a TP-Link products so it’s amazing like everything they make. I see TP-link to electronics as I do 3m to adhesives. Simply works. These cameras are 2k so zooming is ok but they don’t actually zoom it’s an in picture zoom. The cord is 2 piece so you can put attached side through a wall and connect adapter side in a plug inside but not have to make a huge hole. 3/8” hole is all you need. Entire unit is compact and has 4 holes in mounting plate to easily with a template to mark for plastic anchors or pre-drill hard surfaces.
TP-link start up is by far the easiest I’ve seen and I’m a fan.
1 caveat I have is, when volume is on there’s no was to avoid hearing the motor turn the camera. These are NOT for high security areas or places subject to damage, mounting plate and body are plastic but you should know that when purchasing anyway. I would not hesitate at all to buy TP-link cameras or recommend to them to my own family and friends.

This was my 3rd set of security cams I bought. The 1st ones would not connect to my wifi, i got 1 set up on the second batch and the others would not even power up. I bought 3 of these and 1 of their indoor cams. All 4 were super easy to set up and all 4 work perfectly. I'm 72 years old and i got these completely set up to my phone in 2 minutes a piece. Just plug it in, wait for the app to find it, put in your wifi password & put sd card in and go mount it. The picture quality is crystal clear day and night. These are the ones to buy hands down. I here they have even better ones coming out this year so keep an eye out.

We had a storm come through and 2 of my 4 cameras stopped working. On the app on phone, it displayed troubleshoot. I was worried the storm destroyed the cameras so I bought 2 more to replace. I unplugged 1 just like the guide told me and 5 minutes later. It works again. The other camera was disconnected from the storm. I kept the 2 new cameras because the cameras are excellent. Records 24/7 and motion tracking is cool. You can go back 24hrs and keep the recordings. Buy the memory chips recommended. Thank you Amazon & Tapo.

WiFi Issues

Reviewed in the United States on March 11, 2024

Style: 2K QHD w/Starlight Night VisionVerified Purchase

I'd like to say that the camera is perfect, and it might be, but I could not get it to talk to my wifi... It wasn't until I read the negative reviews that I learned that it will NOT work under a WPA2 security network. This really should have been noted on their website. This is not my first tp-link product either. I have a light switch controlling 8 soffit lights and two cameras all happily set up with my network, a WPA2 network, with no issues, that's what prompted me to purchase this unit. Ironically, my wifi is also a TP-LINK unit. I will keep searching for a security camera that WILL work under a WPA2 scenario. This one, unfortunately, is going back.

Tapo Cameras work exactly as expected!

Reviewed in Canada on April 1, 2024

Style: 1080PVerified Purchase

We have 8 Tapo Cameras in total covering several properties and they all work extremely well. These were our first pan and tilt cameras and consistent with other Tapo's they work great, good quality, easy to use app and all around great value. Highly recommend Tapo security cameras. We have experience with other brands as well and wish the others were as reliable and easy to use as these ones.

Awesome bang for the buck. RTSP support, microSD, Ethernet, Pan/Tilt, Flood Light LED, etc

Reviewed in Canada on March 27, 2024

Style: 2K QHD w/Starlight Night VisionVerified Purchase

I replaced a Nest Outdoor cam with this Tapo and it's been a very good change. Despite my Nest having ideal Wifi service, it would often cut out, possibly due to my ISP (though I have 1GB fiber optic). Since I decided to use the microSD support on my Tapo, I know it'll log to disk regardless of network, also the Ethernet support is a great option. I've also heard some car theives carry wifi jammers, so this unit being not completely dependent on Wifi is a big plus. A small drawback over the Nest is the field of view is much narrower. But the pan/tilt and patrolling functions can largely compensate for that. I really like the LED tiny flood lights on this unit too. Overall, I think you get a vast amount of features for a great price. I also love that I can use the RTSP support to interface this with custom stuff in my house and not be dependent on some cloud service. Great little unit.

Pequeña, práctica, funcional

Reviewed in Mexico on June 7, 2023

Style: 1080PVerified Purchase

Andaba buscando una camara para exterirores que no fuera muy grande, que estuviera motorizada y que no usara antenas, despues de muchas vueltas encontre este modelo.
Al principio estaba esceptico, pero aproveche a que podia devolverlo para hacer una prueba y desde que la conecte quede encantado.
El seguimiento de movimiento es excelente, la detección es muy precisa, la calidad del video es aceptable.
La manera de montarla no me pareció la mejor, para mi gusto, cuando se monta en el techo queda como un tipo escalon hacia abajo asi que en realidad la camara queda un poco despegada del techo, no me gusta porque siento que le quita estabilidad a la instalacion, pero fuera de eso no le veo otro problema.
Algo que detecte a la hora de instalar es que, cuando quieres acceder al area de la tarjeta SD y el boton de reset tienes que quitar dos pequeños tornillos, estos no estan asegurados a la plaquita asi que es bien facil que se te caigan y se pierdan (ya me paso). Aparte el acceso a esa parte esta en la seccion mas oculta de la camara, lo cual es bueno por seguridad pero hay que rotarla para llegar ahi y si aun no esta conectada lo tienes que hacer manual, lo cual me lleva a mi siguiente punto.
Cuando la movi para acceder al boton de reset, note que el movimiento es mas ruidoso, no se si dañe el mecanismo de movimiento o que, sin embargo, despues de un rato de mover la camara el ruido se quita, pero eventualmente se escucha. No se si fue un error mio o que, pero desde que la monte en el techo (inicialmente la tenia en una mesa) empezo a hacer ese ruido.
Por otro lado la aplicacion tiene muchas opciones, es muy facil de configurar y conectar, lo que he visto es que a veces no muestra ningun dispositivo y tienes que reiniciarla.
El movimiento de la camara de la app es bueno, solo que tiene algo de delay, pero no lo veo tanto como problema pues siento que eso se usa muy poco o al menos no diario, pero cada quien.
En general es una buena camara, yo si me compraria otra para alguna otra aplicacion.
