Excellent quality camera with full coverage and great features
Great quality camera with sharp 4MP video and smooth 360° coverage. For the price, it’s excellent value. Wi-Fi range is strong, but it also has an Ethernet port if needed. Plenty of mounting options make installation easy, and it works perfectly in the Tapo app. Very impressed overall.

Highly recommend because they’re affordable and user friendly.
Superb cameras. We have 5 and bought a 6th.Pros:-1. Clear images2. Reliable motion detection3. Short cables can be replaced with longer ones from Amazon4. Adjustable camera image i.e. you can turn the camera upside down and flip the image.5. Full colour or black & white available4. User friendly - both app and camera functions. Easily adjustable.Cons:-1. the lead is chunky and can’t be removed if you don’t need them for outdoors connection. We only use one portion of the power lead and the other unused part has to be pinned out of sight. Not an issue for us because we use them indoors and pointing through windows.2. Short power supply cables (replaceable).3. The back of the memory card compartment is difficult to remove and the screws can get stuck. Be very careful when first removing them and needs replacement ones with stronger screw tops or the tops will wear down after a few turns and you’ll struggle to get the screws out.4. Mic feedback if close to the cameras. Just make sure you’re not near when testing the mic or looking at footage.

Fantastic Value for Money—Feature-Packed and Easy to Set Up!
For the price, the Tapo Pan Tilt Camera is an incredible deal! It was quite easy to set up and I was able to get it up and running quickly. It is a great option for home security because it has several capabilities, such as customisable settings, motion detection, and pan and tilt control.One thing to keep in mind is that, depending on where you choose to put it, you might need an extension wire. Still, given everything else this camera offers, that's a minor inconvenience. No rivals even come close to offering as many features for the price. It's ideal for monitoring things, and you can truly customise it to meet your own needs because to the amount of customisation options.Extremely advisable

Superb Quality & Functionality
The resolution is awesome and AI detection is brilliant. I get 10 days continual recording (it then loops and overwrites) on a 256GB card. No monthly bills. Linked straight to network. Brilliant.

Great product
I have several Tapo cameras and am now pairing these with the latest TAPO hub (just released) to save all video locally.This camera has an easy but v. intelligent interface. No problem finding house internet. Great day and night recordings.Easily steerable when you want to have a look around remotely; easy to set action zones and eliminate false alarms from pets etc.

Brilliant!
Have been using Tapo cameras for a while, have even bought them as presents for family! So I thought I would upgrade to this model, as it does everything I need in home security ( tracking, smart mode with QHD and alarms)Daughter installed the camera in about 30mins with absolutely no problems. ( most of the time was positioning it)So, initially I had a few software issues with this camera, but on contacting the support forum, they promptly passed my problem onto the TP-Link Technical Support team. I cannot speak highly enough of these experts, they talked me through everything, and indeed, made me feel very confident the issue would be sorted quickly with me having to do the bare minimum.The camera is well worth the money and as every other Tapo cam very easy to use. Connects easily to wireless Wi-Fi and set up is also very easy. Night vision is great, but sensitivity does need reduced when it rains.All in all I have to give this 5⭐️ , even with the initial issue. Ryan Long and the TP-Link Technical Support team are such a dedicated group, I never once regretted buying this model.IMO Best home security around in this price range, and the most dedicated support team. Another brilliant product by Tapo.

Good value cameras with impressive performance for the price.
These are good value cameras, easy to install and setup with some great features. Have to option of using stand alone or with their cloud service. Have plenty of storageusing 512Gb micro SD. The image quality is good and so is the sound, does a great job of recording the bird song in the garden. Detection modes are ok but it occasionally misses things, possibly due to the size within the frame. Hopefully they will continue to improve with firmware updates.
