   Best home security camera out there at this price-point!
   It’s an excellent product. Firstly, it is extremely ease to set-up, it’s basically plug and play. The footage quality is great as well, the pan and tilt option covers 360-degrees horizontally. The best part is the TAPO app, it’s seamless and very responsive. Really awesome solution for home-security needs.

   Excellent Camera. Highly Effective.
   I have bought 6 TP Link Tapo cameras (different models) for my house. Even though these are supposedly indoor cameras, I am using them on the outside of the house. They are excellent. The TAPO app allows me to monitor them within one app. The app itself has plenty of features. You can set what you want each individual camera to detect (motion, person, baby crying). You can set the exact area of the image you want it to monitor and which area you want it to ignore. On the C200, you can also pan, tilt, patrol using the app. You can change the resolution of the recording depending on your internet speed. You can also change the motion sensitivity of each camera. The cameras come with a slot for a micro SD card. When the card is full it automatically overwrites the oldest recordings. There is also a brilliant cloud storage feature. Currently I am on the free trial and find it quite useful, though it’s not a necessity if you are using the micro sd storage.Some areas for improvement. Just my suggestions:1. Stronger WiFi connectivity. On the lower end models like the C100, the WiFi pickup range is lower than the C200 so I am having to use WiFi extenders.2. Ability to switch WiFi network. In the TAPO app, it would be helpful if we could log in to the camera and switch it to a different WiFi network if and when needed. Unfortunately, now, once it’s set up with a given network, and if you want to switch it to a different one, you have to reset the whole camera and set it up again.3. Multicamera simultaneous monitoring. As I have 6 cameras installed, I missed the ability to view all 6 feeds at the same time. It would be great if this feature could be built into the TAPO app. Currently, you can only view 4 cameras at a time.4. Casting – When playing back a feed or a recording, it will be helpful to include a casting feature that will enable users to cast the video to a smart TV if we want to view it on a larger screen.5. Bitrate / compression selection – currently, you cannot alter the recording bitrate of the videos, only the resolution. It will be helpful to have this feature in case we need to capture more detail for certain angles.6. Internal battery backup – nowadays, the smallest of devices have an internal rechargeable battery to keep them running. It would be helpful for these cameras to have an internal battery that can at least run them for an hour or two in case there is a power cut or an intruder cuts the wire.Overall, a solid line of products and very affordable as well. I hope there are more features rolled out via firmware upgrades and app updates.

   It’s Good!
   Just Did installation myself. Easily done with roof bracket to install on the roof (you will need drilling machine) or easy to keep in a corner somewhere also. You need wifi with 2.4 GHz band to connect this camera. Do not purchase if you do not have a stable Wi-Fi connection. The pan and tilt works, night vision is functional, audio can be heard, even the talk function works, alarm function is working, motion detection and person detection is working, installed 64 G SD card for local recordings which can be accessed via the app. Did two tests – disconnected wifi in this case live view or local recordings is not available, once wifi is restored camera connected automatically and local recordings are available even when wifi is off. 2nd disconnected the power from camera in this case live view or local recordings are not available, once power restored it automatically connected and can view the live view, not possible to get any recordings while the camera is power off. So if someone physically turns off the power all functionality is gone. Video quality is better than expected – overall very happy with the product. Now ordered 3 more pieces. It requires technical know how to use the product, if you are not good with modern gadgets you will probably have hard time in installing/using fully by yourself.

   Great Cam, worth 4 Big Stars .. but just that ..
   Reviewing this product after 3+ years of use. My first purchase was in June 2020 for ₹2,499, repeat in June 2021 for ₹2,199. Price is at par with other worthy competitors. A couple of my contacts using other brands appreciated that I have TP-Link. Consider it a great bargain if you find better price.(Update: Summer 2024, both cameras working fine 👍🏼)Here are some Great Features, along with my take:💫 Super Easy Setup (just had to mention WiFi credentials in the tapo app)💫 Sufficiently Long Adaptor Cable (though I did have to further extend it), Very neat and compact Wall/Ceiling Mount with Camera being Detachable💫 Great Quality Pic/Vids, same as rated (though it can be decreased in the tapo viewer app for streaming efficiency, keeping the recording resolution high)💫 Flawless Motion Detection (though I had to disable it due to too many alerts). SD storage can be saved tremendously if enabled only during motion detection (though I am more comfortable with unconditional recording)💫 Uninterrupted Recording in the SD Card, whether your WiFi goes down resulting in no-view in your viewing device💫 Good Night Vision💫 Auto-Reboot (optional) functionality provided, probably to stabilize the camera’s server, in user defined 15-minute window💫 Firmware updates provided by TP-Link whenever available💫 Tapo app is very smooth and well thought of with Pan/Tilt controls, mic/speaker control, two-finger zooming, multi camera/room support, pause recording (privacy mode), manual reboot, SD formatting, easy recording time-range defining by week days, disabling the camera green-LED – just to name the primary features✅ To complete the review, and to be fair, some prominent shortcomings must be mentioned – in a hope that TP-Link eventually provides us firmware/app updates, whenever possible. These are such observations:🥀 No app interaction for 5-minutes results in switching OFF of the view with this message, as shown in the attached pic. It is a major problem for people working in, say, kitchen-sink, and every 5-minutes, one has to wash and dry the hands to press CONTINUE🥀 Tap to Refresh message, as shown in the attached pic. comes up each time the WiFi’s internet is disabled for, may be, 30-seconds or more (just a guess). Again a problem for a person having hands occupied and having eyes on the display🥀 No FireTV Support Yet. Now that FireTV is picking up a good portion of the market share, but searching for tapo app in the FireTV apps results in a 3rd party app. Why would anybody provide private Camera credentials to such an app?🥀 Streaming on Monitor is Unreliable. Meaning, if you would like to have camera view on your PC/Mac/Linux monitor, you can provide a URL (with Camera credentials) to any Streaming-Video viewer (example VLC). But after 30-60 minutes or so, I have experienced that the view goes blank/distorted, and link needs to be re-established🥀 Audio Listening Quality is Pathetic, not taking about subject’s whispering, even normal talks are very difficult to make out. It could be cost factor, as sensitive microphones do exist, but those must be expensiveFor the above reasons, 1-star needs to be withheld, and this product rightly deserves 4-big stars ⭐⭐⭐⭐
