Tapo by TP-Link 1080P Indoor Security Camera for Baby Monitor, Pet Camera w/Motion Detection, 2-Way Audio, Night Vision, Cloud & SD Card Storage, Works w/Alexa & Google Home, Black, C101

This baby works well and has a great picture quality. I bought this in order to keep an eye on my furbaby. The motion detection works well but scared me a few times when it said person detected. My dog was on the top part of the couch and I literally thought someone had entered my house. But figured out it was just him. It has a good range of recording capabilities The design is small and easily fits on my TV stand. We had a mini earthquake enough to shake it off the stand and it did not crack or scratch the lens. You can tap to talk or call and speak to your dog, cat, partner, child, bird or whatever you use it for. I check in on my dog often and even show ppl what he is doing. A few of my coworkers requested me to send them the item and they purchased it for their pets as well. Most of the time he is sleeping. You can also take a picture. I opt not to subscribe to offer of saving the recordings on a chip or sending it to my cloud. You do have to reset it every 45 days if you do not subscribe but for me that is not a big deal I am saving money. I am using it to make sure my furbaby is ok I do not need a history of recording him sleeping or playing with his toys while I am working. Great purchase, quality and value for your money. It has slightly increased in price since I have purchased it but still reasonable and affordable. The pic on my review is my dog on my couch when the person detection went off.

I never write reviews. Well, very rarely. I have been searching for a small camera to place outside my apartment door that pointed at my door and the surrounding hallway. I have ordered multiple cameras, only to have troubles connecting them to the Wi-Fi, or them working for a few minutes and stopping,... It was one issue after another with each little mini spy cam I seemed to purchase. I couldn't trust reviews anymore. I wanted wireless. Obviously if I live in an apartment building it's not going to be easy if it it's not wireless. But that seemed to be the only things that were left out there, that I hadn't tried. I ordered this camera and I thought it was wireless. I was wrong. But hold on. There's more to this story... First of all, connecting it to my Wi-Fi and working with the app was so super simple, I was worried something was wrong. Could it really be this easy?? After I disconnected it from the cord that charged it .... it stopped working. That's when I realized I had made a mistake and it needed to stay plugged in. Duh. The thing is is that it was so simple to get it up and running, seriously less than 5 minutes! And the picture was good! And it seemed to have a lot of flexibility so I could angle it just the way I wanted to. I looked at it and said you know what? I'm going to make this thing work for me. I am not sending a camera that is this easy to set up, back. I have a mini SCD card. I don't want to pay for cloud storage. I don't want to pay for anything extra The cord that comes with this little camera is basically flat so I had no trouble putting it through the top of my door without the door pinching the cord! It was pretty long.... But I did not have an outlet near the door so up up on a step ladder this old woman went, and I taped it along the ceiling line and then I chose a white extension cord so it would blend in with the wall in my living room. I made it look good. I am thrilled with this camera! I can now see who's knocking at my door... I can speak to them clearly through my two-way audio. I can see if somebody has left a package. I am disabled so getting up and down is not always easy for me... And I live alone so sometimes I'm not dressed for guests if you know what I mean lol. This whole review, It does nothing else, I want to make sure that it shows you the ease with which this camera was set up. So that, along with the fact that the picture quality was excellent, so *completely* outweighed the inconvenience of having to figure out how to connect it to the nearest outlet in my home.If you are a frustrated consumer like I was tried multiple cameras only to have to keep returning them and not getting what you want, please consider this one. One. I don't think you'll be disappointed.

Please read carefully : VERY IMPORTANT. If you find it difficult to connect your camera to your device you must do this:Plug in your cameraWhen it is flashing from red to greenGo to your device WiFi settingsClick FORGET PASSWORDNow search for Tapo wifi in the list of available wifi optionsConnect to TAPONow connect your device to TapoTHERE WILL BE NO WIFI BUT IT WILL PROMPT YOU TO CONNECT YOUR TAPO TO YOUR HOME WIFI.Input your home wifi code and you'll finish the hook up.The camera is good. Records motion. Angle is great, durability is fine, quality is great, app functionality is good as well.There is a video you can watch if your camera is not connecting. It will give you the option to click on it if the camera cannot connect to your device.I bought mine for my cat and dog when I'm out. It will be fantastic.It has two way voice. Stick a mini SD card in and you're good to go. I only bought one to test it. I'll buy another now because it's a nifty device. Camera quality is wonderful.

I got these cameras to see who keeps trying to break into my house. I love that it comes with 4 cameras and the 2 way hearing and speaking feature is pretty cool. it's very responsive to all movements. The alarm feature is too sensitive as it sounds an alarm with any movement. The set up isn't direct. I had to read the reviews to figure out how to connect the cameras. You will need to get an SD card for each camera or buy the cloud subscription (per device) or you could always watch it 24/7. And they aren't wireless. Overall I am happy with this purchase. it's just unfortunate that I need it.
