5.0 out of 5 stars Hard to beat for price.

There’s 1 downside to WiFi cameras. Your internet speed has to include enough upload gbps per camera for optimal results. Example 10 gbps is enough for 3-4 cameras unless you’re uploading something at the same time. Yes you can run 8-10 cameras but you’ll see delays, buffering and be disappointed in speeds. Proper upload speeds is vital so you can run your cameras and other uploading data (basically sending, example : to cloud, to another devices to private storage). If you use cameras for live viewing and no saving video upload speeds aren’t important.
That said, these Tapo ptz cameras work good, they move properly, app is intuitive, storage is cheap $10 for 10 cameras for 30 days, they’re a TP-Link products so it’s amazing like everything they make. I see TP-link to electronics as I do 3m to adhesives. Simply works. These cameras are 2k so zooming is ok but they don’t actually zoom it’s an in picture zoom. The cord is 2 piece so you can put attached side through a wall and connect adapter side in a plug inside but not have to make a huge hole. 3/8” hole is all you need. Entire unit is compact and has 4 holes in mounting plate to easily with a template to mark for plastic anchors or pre-drill hard surfaces.
TP-link start up is by far the easiest I’ve seen and I’m a fan.
1 caveat I have is, when volume is on there’s no was to avoid hearing the motor turn the camera. These are NOT for high security areas or places subject to damage, mounting plate and body are plastic but you should know that when purchasing anyway. I would not hesitate at all to buy TP-link cameras or recommend to them to my own family and friends.

I am impressed with this camera. It was easy to mount, easy to setup, very good resolution, super night vision, sensitive motion detection, ultra low price, and Compatibly with Alexa. The iOS app works as good as any I’ve seen, pan and tilt could be smother but for the price I can deal with it. I highly recommend this camera. Wish I had bought more.

The SD card means it’s recording 24/7 and $0 subscriptions! Win win! Easy to mount, easy setup. Works with Alexa (took a few tries). The PTZ is smooth. Mic pics up a lot of sounds. Very impressed by the motion detection alerts, they seem very accurate. Mine is on other side of our house with a mesh router and has a good WiFi signal.

4.0 out of 5 stars Easy to Install, Great Quality, Needs to be kept close to Internet box
Reviewed in the United States on May 11, 2024
This is great, we upgraded from another camera and so far the quality has been great with this camera. It catches everything with motion detection, even the rain during a storm. Bought on sale, for the price the camera is perfect considering it's features such as setting specific locations that you may want to look at with the press of a button. It also has a patrol mode which follows movement it sees. At night the quality of the picture is just as good as during the day, nearly making out facial features from across the street. Our only gripe is that it sometimes has a hard time connecting to the Internet after an outage and doesn't like connecting to Internet extension box, has to be manually connected instead of automatically. There's almost no delay in checking the camera using Cellular Data if you are away from the house. There's also a privacy mode if you are planning a surprise that you don't want anyone else with access to see. If your on the fence about upgrading or buying one of these in general it's my opinion that this is a decent investment for the price. There are more expensive cameras that do way less with worse quality. We have the white camera, not sure if it comes in any other color honestly.

Reviewed in the United States on July 9, 2024
Put the Tape C500 up yesterday evening and couldn't b happier. Video quality is very clear, night vision is as well! The sound is very clear I could hear my small 10lb dog running up B4 could even see her! Motion detection works very well and I really like the patrol setting. U can set 2 or more different points that u want the camera to patrol and how long u want it to stay on specific area b4 going to the next! Seems to b made very well and it is just the right size to put up on the side of house to where it doesn't look all bulky! Would highly recommend!

Easy to connect to the wifi. Good day and nighttime vision. Motion tracking works well. Motion detection and person detection can be touchy. Overall for the price point this is an excellent stater camera.

5.0 out of 5 stars Works well, isn't too expensive
Reviewed in the United States on June 25, 2024
I have several brands of security cameras running around my house.

This one is my favorite because the pictures are good, sound is good, and it is responsive to the controls when moving it around.

One area it may lack however is that it has went a little crazy on us over the winter. The motion alarm (that I have shut off - because why?) will randomly go off for HOURS until I use the app, shut the motion alarm back off and it is fine again until the next update. Then it is crazy motion alarm time again. I don't know why it does this, but it does.

I did not opt in for the cloud service they offer, I figure I am opening enough of my life to the company without also storing my recordings on their servers. I use a 256GB SD card, and it has worked perfectly.

If it goes on sale again, I will buy one for the other corner of my house (Mine is tucked under the eave behind the gutter so it is always dry, shaded, clean, and WAY too high to fuss with).

4.0 out of 5 stars Easy install; People detection also includes rain (yep, rain)
Reviewed in the United States on May 22, 2024
I liked the easy install and long power connection. The included bracket offered flexible mounting options. Camera quality is excellent for both day and night. Pan and Tilt controls work fine, though the Patrol option minimum of 2 minutes leaves the camera in one place for too long (IMHO). Because I live in the country, I don't use motion detection (deer, squirrels, etc.), but I do have "Person Detection" selected. Because of the highly competent programmers at TP-Link, I have learned that Rain now qualifies as a "Person". Yep, rain triggers the "Person Detection" notification and clip capture system. And though the uploaded example is from a heavy rain, I have other examples of light rain also triggering the People notifications. But since this camera has the capacity for on-board storage (don't use the TAPO Care paid cloud storage), I'll make sure I send Christmas cards to the Rain people this camera keeps finding.
