    • Have improved significantly since they were first released.
Style: 2-Camera System Configuration: Battery
I have many TP-LINK lights and smart switches, so I had big expectations for this camera. However, I'm pretty disappointed. The image on this camera is good, but not as good as my Wyze cameras. That's especially true at night. The night vision is OK, but IMHO much clearer with a Wyze camera. It's perfectly acceptable though. The big problem with these is their detection algorithms. I don't want a notification every time something moves, so I have motion turned off and I'm only using AI detection, and it's pretty bad. I have a camera in my driveway. During the day, it detects vehicles basically only if they are within 10 feet of the camera unless I point the camera at the road. Then it can detect almost every truck that drives by even though it's like 50-60 feet away. On my driveway, that means there could be like 10 cars parked on my driveway and this camera wouldn't notify me. At night, it's even worse. I've driven directly under the camera. My roof is literally feet away, and the camera never triggered. It's similar for people. The UPS guy walked all of the way up my driveway and up my stairs - all of which are within view of the camera, and the camera never triggered. It triggered when he was on his way out, and somehow started when he was like 30 feet away from the camera. I also have a camera in my backyard, and I have a dog. That camera is also set to AI detection, and I have the AI level set to max on everything. That camera has not recorded a single image of my dog yet. Also, my wife goes out the door and smokes every morning. The door is located about 25 feet away from the camera. It's never taken a single image of her either. I have some plants on a table about 10 feet away from it, and it triggers about 1/2 of the time when I go out to water them. Also, they seem to go offline quite a bit, so even viewing them when there isn't any notification will often result in absolutely nothing. I'm hopeful that these triggers will improve with updates. Since they're AI, that should be possible. I'm not sure if the offline problem will ever go away though. The WiFi outside my house isn't great because of my metal siding, and there's not a lot I can do with that. Still, I would hope these things have some way of caching recordings if they can't push them to the server immediately, but I don't know if that's true or possible. In the end, these partly work as I wanted them to and they work well enough to keep. For the most part, I just wanted to be able to see my driveway from my phone while I was working in my office without having to get up and walk across my house. I previously had POE cameras, but because of some other changes at my house I had to cut the ethernet lines that went outside and I'm not keen to run them again. Battery-operated wireless convenience, for the moment, is more important to me, and I'll just cross my fingers and hope they can update these to function better. *Update 6-27-2025* These have improved significantly since I bought them. TP-Link continues to impress me with their consistent updates, and seemingly never abandon their old products. There have been multiple firmware updates, all being applied automatically without any intervention from me, and the detection algorithms have improved to the point where I'm very comfortable recommending these cameras. I also realized the WIFI issues I was having weren't actually WIFI issues, but the placement of my hub. Apparently, the camera uses some other wireless protocol to connect to the hub, and moving the hub closer to my cameras resolved all of my issues. I can now reliably view my cameras. While the night vision is still better with my Wyze cameras, it's perfectly acceptable. I have 2 of these cameras connected to small solar chargers, and have no issues keeping them full and running all day. I've raised my initial rating to 5 stars, as I now believe they deserve that rating. ... show more

    • Good security camera system
Style: 2-Camera System Configuration: Battery
I purchased the Tapo 2K QHD Outdoor Wireless Security Camera System after reading several reviews on different sites. The system had a combination of features at a price point that made them an excellent value. I installed these at a beach cottage for extra security when we aren’t there and so we could monitor flooding and possible damage during storms. I experimented with camera locations and have one aimed at each of the stairs leading up to the deck. They can also see parts of the yard and approaches to the cottage. Installation and setup was easy both are under eaves which give some protection from weather although they are waterproof. I have the Tapo app on my iPad and picture quality is very good both day and night. The audio picks up wind noise and birds. While playing with and learning about the system I went through about 10% of battery life on each camera which didn’t seem too bad. I haven’t tested battery life to the extreme but it promises “up to 180 day battery life” based on 10-20 triggered events per day. I used the 30 free days cloud storage but for my purposes the local storage option seemed appropriate so I purchased a SanDisk 128GB MAX Endurance microSDXC Card with Adapter for Home Security Cameras. It’s pet/people/car detection with notifications works well although I’m still learning about the best way to set it. BOTTOM LINE: I am pleased with the camera system although I am still learning about its features and best setting for my situation. And adding additional cameras or other devices seems straightforward. ... show more

    • Tapo Battery Camera: Great Features, But Battery Hassles for Multi-Camera Setups
Style: 2-Camera System Configuration: Battery
TLDR - Great performance, great features, but only if you need two cameras. The Tapo battery-powered cameras offer excellent features, but challenges arise with multiple units. I have four, and each drains its battery at different rates, requiring frequent recharges. Climbing a ladder every few weeks to remove batteries or tether a USB cable to a power bank negates the wireless benefit—if an outlet were nearby, I wouldn’t need battery cameras. Additionally, these cameras lack RTSP support for off-camera recording without a subscription due to power constraints. I switched to Tapo C120 5V cameras powered via a modified E26 bulb socket using a E26 bulb socket to two prongs electrical outlet adapter, connect a compact 5V 2A USB adapter to said adapter. Using a PoE TP-Link Omada AP for dedicated WiFi. For one or two cameras, this system works well with the included H-200 hub’s 512GB MicroSD storage. For more, consider wired cameras to avoid battery hassles. Local storage is great, but a DVR/NVR with terabyte capacity would be better than the hub’s gigabyte limit. And with the ability to sidestep the "lose camera, lose recording without a paid subscription" dilemma is definitely a major plus. Paid subscription can merely proved 30 days storage. All Tapo's wired camera supports RTSP and Onvif, great features for those into local hosting solution. ... show more

    • Exactly as Advertised
Style: 2-Camera System Configuration: Battery
Excellent surveillance/security camera system. Very good quality cameras. Easy to set up Hub and individual cameras. When you first Sync the camera to the Hub, have the camera only 1" away from the Hub. Then move it to the location needed. The app is easy to download and use. Very sharp images both daylight and night with very little illumination. Easy to see faces, movements and license plates from over 40' away. Plenty of storage with the 512Gb micro-SD card I installed. I've had the two cameras installed for 10 days. So far, so good. ... show more
