Tapo TP-Link Pan/Tilt Smart Security Camera, Indoor CCTV, 360° Rotational Views, Works with Alexa&Google Home, No Hub Required, 1080p, 2-Way Audio, Night Vision, SD Storage, Device Sharing (TC70)

This is really a very good Camera in this price. Beleive me I have tried all the Xiaomi, Yi and D3D Smart Wifi Cams and this I found one of the best option.I am using these with Home Assistant and MotionEYE.I have not inserted any SD card and using MotionEYE to directly record videos to my system.The RTSP stream is in full hd 1080p and its really good. It loads instantly and delay is of few microseconds.I am using 1080p feed over RTSP and 360p feed on the app so both the things can be used at the same time.I have configured AI Face recognition using this camera to announce whoever is on my gate over my Google Home Mini and this is working really well with this cam.Pros:- Good Video Quality at 1080p and at Night- Really loud speaker- Camera Speaker can be used to trigger alarm sound- They offer RTSP/ONVIF support for these camera which is a big deal- Fast and Responsive App- Ability to live view camera feed on any computer systemCons:Sometimes connectivity issue in the app but it can be fixed with the update.No NAS support like Xiaomi Cameras, However I don't need it as RTSP is more then enough but having NAS support in app is a big bonus.

Setup was easy. Worked flawlessly until I turned of the room lights. Night vision is dead & is not switching on. Tried resetting but had same issue with night mode not functioning. Color vision Quality is accepted but the product is presently useless as it is defective. Will post an update when I get a replacement.2nd & 3rd units Review update:The 1st unit's replacement is already on way & I'm glad for that. The other two units worked flawlessly without any issues I faced with night mode. TP-Link's Tapo app was good with a clean UI with ability to view upto 32 cameras just like a cctv system.Pros:Easy setup, 128Gb storage, No SD errors like problems i faced in Mi cameras. Ability to connect the cameras to a NVR system as ONVIF protocol IP cameras.I added these cameras to my Synology DiskStation NAS system that has amazing surveillance station software that can beat any NVR systems available in india.Motion detection was too sensitive, had to reduce the sensitivity & muted the notifications on the phone.These are really good stable performing cameras. I can say these are very reliable for use as IP cameras.I'm currently using six Tapo C100 Cameras. No issues faced except for my first order. I'll be purchasing more & am planning to expand these upto 24 cameras. Waiting for the C310 outdoor camera to launch.October's end update: Using a total of 12 Tapo C100 & 2 Tapo C200 cameras with my Synology DS218+ DiskStation NAS system. Zero hiccups. Very stable performance all streaming at 1080p 15fps. Very happy with the Tapo series cameras. Will update here on long term performance next year. Planning to add 6 more cameras but waiting for Tapo C310 outdoor to launch.

Good and value for money product.

Good picture quality, excellent tools

I bought this camera for my parents' home entrance to monitor drunkards littering. I fitted the camera 3 days after it arrived and it worked for exactly 5 days. It wouldn't even boot ON after that. The camera only has a 7 day replacement and the camera failed on the 8th day. The camera has a 1 year warranty so I called the customer care and they asked me to take it to the regional center and these are only in State capitals or major cities and the nearest one for me was 300 kms away. When I told them the issue, they asked me to send the camera by courier. I had to pay 400 Rs for the courier charge, to mail them the camera, so 2400 for camera + 400 for courier all for working 5 days exactly.The first nightmare started when I informed the regional rep that I have mailed the camera but I'm not a happy customer as I have to pay additional for not my fault. He called me and spoke condescendingly that I he hasn't received the camera yet but I'm complaining of delay. I asked him to read the email again as it was about my experience and the additional cost. Then he said once they receive my unit, they will send a replacement. I called the next week again as I didn't hear back and he said it will take 10 days to send the replacement. The 10 days came and went, no product and no update either. I mailed back and I was promised that the item was in transit from the warehouse. I waited 2 more weeks and nothing arrived. I sent a hard worded email copying their management and support including a person called Shawn Qiu. Again, the regional rep responds that they will ship it shortly either that evening or the next day, so they never even shipped my item the previous weeks when they promised it was in transit. Its been more than a month and I have neither received a replacement nor any update. I have since bought a new camera from another brand and moved on. This is just not fair in this day and age. Save yourself the trouble, find a better alternative. I'll consider legal options against this company, if I do not receive the item or a refund by next week. This is not okay.
