TP-Link Tapo

Recordings are often un-useful. Often, the recording starts late, just in time to see the person or car leaving the view. The cameras *really* need to cache footage, so it can include a few extra seconds once it detects motion. Also, recording often stops while there is still motion happening. I have all the settings such that both of these things shouldn't occur (high motion sensitivity, clip recording time, etc) The app is good, ability to look thru recordings is good.

camera is good, easy to install and app is also good. the only thing is that I don't like is the loop recording. I understand is a battery camera but what if the camera is plugged in all day and night with USB. why don't you have an option that I can record 24/7 when it detects it's connected to the outlet. also sometimes doesn't even record the target/event. my wifi is really good, and the camera just doesn't catch the event. I'd love to see that option tho. thanks.

I really like the Tapo cameras. No annoying pop up asking for a subscription to delay your connection every time. The other brands all enough that, by the time you connect, any thief has cleaned out your home. The picture is always good - day and night. The recordings are easy to get to and with larger capacity micro SD cards can store for weeks. It is easy to capture video or still shots to your phone to send via email or They have a great line up of cameras. All usable within this app.
