TP-Link Tapo

I’ve only had this camera for a few days, but it’s serving its purpose. Using it to keep an eye on my pup while we are away. Night vision works great too. So far I’m very happy with it, especially for the price we paid.

I’m loving the camera and the app is easy to use and very convenient

Works awesome and at a unbelievable good price

I love it

These outlets are awesome. I can see and control dumb devices in Apple Home through these and I can even monitor electrical usage to control spending.

Inexpensive camera and it works perfectly

Great having the camera with sound watching the cottage when we are away. Keeps us from wondering what is happening when we are not there.

The app is smooth, seamless, and easy to use. Combined with quality products like the indoor and outdoor smart plugs, crystal-clear security cameras, and the ability to use many features without requiring a subscription, it creates a strong overall ecosystem. Where the app continues to fall short is secondary user access and permissions. For example, if a second user, such as a spouse, is added to the account, they cannot enable a camera if the admin previously disabled it. The current workaround suggested online is to share the primary admin login, but that creates another issue: two people cannot reliably access the app at the same time under the same account. This becomes especially problematic during security alerts. If one person is already in the app responding to a camera notification, the other may not be able to access the camera feed to help assess the situation. In a real-world security scenario, that limitation matters. Because of this issue alone, we moved most of our primary security cameras to another platform and now only use Tapo cameras for checking in on a second home (with a one-camera Tapo Care subscription). However, we continue to run Tapo smart plugs and switches at both homes because they are among the most reliable smart home products available. Improving multi-user permissions and simultaneous access for shared access/households would make this ecosystem significantly stronger. And would allow us to move all 12 security cameras back to Tapo.

Several issues: 1. Camera footage cannot be deleted from the app 2. Alarm settings reset to default periodically… 3. Footage playback interface isn’t very user friendly. Fix your app…
