The Tapo WiFi camera is super easy to set up, use, and set smart actions with. I have mine set to turn on when my phone’s location leaves my street and turn off when I arrive home—really convenient!The only issue is that it completely stops working anytime you update anything on your WiFi, so you’ll have to reconfigure it. But for just two pounds a month, their cloud storage subscription is totally worth it, as it saves the hassle of dealing with an SD card. Overall, a solid camera when it’s all connected!

This is my 3rd Tapo TC70, the second one was DOA but replaced and thats been fine.I have one in the car connected to a 4g wifi router which works superb, one in the living room and one in my greenhouse.As for quality, they feel a little on the cheap side and light which I totally expected for such a cheap camera. I dont expect a premium feel from this prive point.The Image quality is actually good again for the price.The ptz control works fine althouth its a bit slow, dont expect image quality to be great whilst the camera is moving as it blocks up a bit, but this effects most cameras with ptz. It also has a patrol mode that when set the camera will patrol side side.Motion detection works ok, its not the best but it works you can change the sensitivity and what type of motion is detected (Motion, person and tamper) it also has a baby cry setting which will be a useful feature if your using as a baby monitor.Setup is easy with the tapo app, i cant see anyone going wrong setting it up.It does have rtsp and onvif capabilities but this has to be enabled (i use with blue iris software and it works fine)All in all for a budget camera that just works with quite a few features its great value for money.Hope you found this helpful, thanks 🙂

I recently purchased the Tapo WiFi Indoor Camera for monitoring my home and pets, and overall, I’m impressed! The 1080p video quality provides clear images, and the 360° rotation allows me to cover every corner of the room. The setup was straightforward, and I love that I can access the live feed directly from my smartphone.However, I’m giving it 4 stars instead of 5 due to the lack of advanced features found in other higher-end cameras. While the performance is solid, some competitors offer additional functionalities, such as enhanced AI detection and cloud storage options, which are available only with paid subscriptions. For a basic indoor security camera, the Tapo is excellent, but it would be nice to have more premium features without extra costs.Overall, it’s a great value for the price, perfect for those looking to keep an eye on their home or pets!

This camera is excellent; tried another make of a similar camera and it was difficult to set up and then beeped really loudly every time it senses something so sent it back and got this one. Really easy to set up and use. It is basic but basic is all I needed. Good visuals and sensors. Very good value for money, especially with a month free trial of the cloud.

Really good camera compared to some I’ve had before easy to set up I’m nearly 70 I used it in my living room to keep an eye on things when I went on holiday. It’s very sensitive and follows your movements. Very good picture quality and night vision also looks very sleek

It’s great bought it just for security reason and about a month after I bought it came in very hand, when some random person walked into my property.Sends alerts when I’m out if anything moves.Can watch it live.Has a siren like an alarm that you can set when your out.Records with an sd card that you buy separate.Can set to track movement Records sound as wellReally good bit of kit easy to use and set up, video quality is very good and you can set the sensitivity on it

What a gr8 bit off kit this is . After I look at so many on here I pick this 1 at a fantastic price and cross my fingers and I got it right . I only wanted it to put in my bedroom window to watch my car and what a fantastic bit off kit, so easy to set up and you only need a sd card and job done . So if looking for the same and you think it’s to hard to work out ,it’s not ,even a 67year old woman did it 🤣🤣🤣

I bought this a year ago on the advice of a dog trainer to see what my dog ,who has separation anxiety, does when we are away, as he really barks & seems distressed when we leave the house. It was reassuring to find that he in fact settles quite quickly). It was easy to set up & I just put an amazon basics sd card in to playback & download if I wished, as opposed to using a subscription. I use it now from time to time to check on him when we are out & have never failed to connect. Video is clear for my purposes even though we shut the blinds in the room to stop him reacting to things outside & this makes the room a little dark. Audio is also good when he has occasionally barked. Would recommend as a cheap option to help if in a similar situation.

1st of all the set up is easy . I purchased this after a previous model I had that worked great with the same quality suddenly kept disconnecting from my WiFi so although it was ok for my needs it annoyingly gave up after around 5 yrs of service so I saw this thinking it would provide the same level of security. & it does to a point .The reason I say to a point it’s due to how this device operates in how it turns to pan left & right & goes up & down if you want to change its viewing angle . Only the camera what’s centred on the ball at the top that holds the camera in can go up & down But the top ball area that sits on the bottom area that the top ball sits on is one solid part & just one whole peice . My other camera looked exactly the same in shape & style to look at but the ball would turn left & right up & down from floor to ceiling if you wanted it to whilst sat on the lower base area that fans out & looks similar like the ball cam this sits on . I have mine placed on my window sill but annoyingly I’ve had to mount it screwed down on the base plate it comes with because it only will turn left & right while sat on the base plate provided with screws . This is due to the bottom underside of the whole unit the camera has to sit on the plastic mount plate it comes with for the camera to pan & turn left & right even turning the plug in power cable it’s plugged into which is strange . . My other ball camera sat above on the lower plastic seating area similar to how this appears & could do a full 360 without having the whole camera turning even the power cord would be plugged in & that would stay where it was because what the ball camera sat on was just a seat for the top ball camera & just the ball above with the built in camera would spin & do a full 360 sat on the bottom base & this doesn’t . If I’d have known this I wouldn’t have purchased this Tapo camera that’s got all these great reviews. Maybe it’s there 1st time they have owned a ball pan & tilt camera . This I wanted to point outwards of my window to give outside security over my garden area & path & were I park . Due to how this camera turns left & right I have had to mount it on my side wall of my window has I couldn’t have it sat on my windowsill as I’d have to have it elevated on a box like I had my other but due to how it turns left & right I’m unable to do the same . So whilst it covers 95% of my path & garden & car it doesn’t give me 100% now & if I did a full 360 the plug in power cable would move around with it & twist & I’ve had to tack the power cord like I did my other under the underside of my window sill so I don’t have ugly cable hanging down . So if I did decide to turn & look into my bedroom if away like I could my other it would be tugging at the cable I’ve hidden . Also the infra red if pointing outside this gives you glare reflection so it’s impossible to see outside at night so in my other cheaper camera that turned left & right above its base you could switch this off permanently until you needed it if I panned inside to see my bedroom this can do the same by tapping on the viewing screen which bring up the icons day mode & not in the settings were you would think & this took some finding & I couldn’t find it in the settings it was pure accidental that I tapped onto the picture showing my garden that these icons showed came on the screen & yes it turned off the I.R lights giving me a great view at night through my window pain but come tonight it will auto switch back & turn on the Infra red & if you forget has you have to remember to do it because it cannot be turned into day mode permanently like the better cheaper model I previously owned . Would I recommend Tapo no because of these awful design flaws especially the turning left & right & having to have it seated on a screw down base plate for it to turn left & right plus it won’t turn full upwards to the ceiling if I wanted like my previous cheaper one & having to remember every night to turn it back into day mode to enable you to see out of your window when dark is impossible to remember to do every night . I don’t recommend this camera as I thought the ball spun on an axis & the bottom was just a seating base like my previous model . My other allowed it to stay on day mode until you changed it back aswell . Yes the quality is great but most are now now fitted with the same camera quality as this £20 in a deal apparently when I see other reviews from months ago at £20 . Must be on a deal often . . I’ve spent lots of my time writing reviews & sometimes for no reason they get rejected which wastes my time & time I’m unable to get back . Money I can get more of time I can’t so I hope my point in regards my issues with it & are valid & I hope I get notified it’s approved has anything negative seems to get rejected which doesn’t allow other potential buyers the correct pros & cons . 2 ⭐️⭐️ for picture quality which most £20 cams & above now have fitted anyway .

I got this camera a month ago to check in my cat while we were on holiday. To settle up is very easy as the camera connects to your WiFi and then you just need to download the app to be able to see, heard and talk through the camera in real time (just a few seconds delay).Now we use it all the time while we are at work to check in her !!! We love it!!
