Great Pan/Tilt Motion Tracking Camera but Has Some Issues

Great video quality in 2K or 1080P but loses some details farther away, which is expected. So while I can zoom in on something, it does lose sharpness if it’s far away. I use it to watch my senior dog when he’s home alone. Setting up the camera is pretty easy by just following the quick setup guide. However, if you have VPN installed on your phone, turn this off first before you proceed or you will have a hard time connecting to the camera and your wi-fi. You can turn the vpn back on afterward. So basically 1) Pause vpn, if applicable 2) connect the phone to the camera wi-fi ID and once that’s connected then 3) connect your phone to your own wi-fi 2.4Ghz network and then 4) resume vpn, if paused earlier. If you don’t turn off vpn you will waste a lot of time trying to figure out why the camera could not connect to your WiFi. Been there done it and this is my 7th Tapo camera setup so just saying…
I like Tapo specifically because I don’t have to buy cloud storage. This means that if you don't buy the cloud service or do not have a microSD, the camera will not record any activity by itself. It will still notify you of the activities you’ve set up to be notified about but it will not be possible to see what had just transpired without a microSD. I personally use a high endurance one that is designed specifically for monitoring cameras and dashcams, not just a phone microSD, because it needs to be able to handle the amount of read-write-retrieve that these cameras require. This is the one I use for all my cameras, if interested: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07NY23WBG Just don’t go beyond the 512Gb limit for this camera.
The camera is very good in general but I noticed that it can also lose track of me in terms of motion tracking and pan/tilting especially when I’m wearing dark clothing. After a while it would go back to the original position, leaving me baffled at times. It has also gone offline regularly for no apparent reason so I had to disable motion sensing which took care of that problem but it defeats the purpose of that feature! I thought the unit would rotate in the middle, at the ball joint, but it actually rotates at the base. I can hear it move and I leave the status light on to alert me that it’s on when I’m home so that I can remember to go into privacy mode and turn off the camera. This is usually when I wish that there is a Watch app that I can just click to turn on/off the camera without opening up the whole app to do this. There is a Home/Away mode for this though which can be set up automatically. Everything you need is in the app and I think it’s a great app. They’ve updated it a few times since I’ve been using it and it gets better every time. There’s always something new to play around with and explore. I love being able to download the video to my phone to share with friends and family. The only thing I do find annoying is that it will prompt me regularly every 5 minutes to continue monitoring and I have to respond or the screen is frozen. This defeats the purpose of it being a full fledged monitoring camera so it’s not great for baby monitoring. Something to keep in mind.
Overall, this is a pretty good camera and is feature packed like all my other Tapo cameras but it had some quirks for me like losing track of where I walked and also going offline until I stopped motion sensing completely. It has great night vision and very crisp daylight videos though. It’s just a matter of fine tuning the settings to get things to behave the way you want that can take some time to get right. I don’t like subscribing to anything so the best part is that no subscription is required! I would give it a 4.0/5.0 - 03/11/2024.
Side note: You only need to do the setup on one phone and will be able to view the camera on all your other devices whether iPad or whatever other tablets once you log on to the Tapo app. However, you will -not- be able to view the cameras on your laptop or the web by inputting the ip address in the browser (I’ve tried). Well, I’ve never found a way to do this and I’m not that tech savvy to figure it out but it may be possible using some other authentication method.
Also, you can set the camera to do continuous recording vs only detection recording (Default) by going to Setting - Storage & Recording - Recording Schedule and editing the time blocks from Orange (Only when something is detected) to Blue (Always record) or even to White (Don’t record anything).
Note that your phone can be connected to the 5GHz wifi all the time but the cameras will only use 2.4GHz by default. Many cameras only support 2.4GHz. As far as I can tell, it will not support or connect to any unsecure wifi network. It seems to only support WPA or WPA2 encryptions. WEP, Portal, WPA/WPA2-enterprise, or WPA3-only networks are not supported.
If your internet drops, you can still use the cameras or watch live views without an internet connection if you are connected to the same wireless network. However, you won’t get any notifications since this requires internet access.
I have the Tp-Link Wifi extender (RE220) and I use the Tapo Tethers app to connect half of my cameras to the hidden SSID (_ext) I set up in the app. I would recommend it if you want to have a greater wifi range.
