Easy and cheap
Simple to setup, easy to use, clear picture quality. I got this to use on birdfeeders and it works amazing for it, especially at night. It keeps a clear and consistent picture even without the nighttime lights being turned on. For the price of this camera I think it may be one of the best budget webcams to have constant monitoring for your home.

Outstanding camera
These cameras work extremely well !! Their images are crisp and they work well under dim light even in day mode ! You almost don’t need night mode because their sensor is so sensitivity. The AI is fantastic too! No more false alarms when trees move or lights go off. The app is nice too and they easily connect to WiFi. The construction is high quality too. Unequivocally recommend !

Great Cameras
I've had these cameras for almost a year now and couldn't be happier with them. They're a great value and I honestly wasn't expecting much at this price point but they've exceeded my expectations. I have 3 of them set up throughout the house and they've never lost connectivity and have good crisp, detailed video both day and night. The range for the motion detection is very good too and the only false alarms I've had are from when the sun shines in through the blinds and bounces off the wall and the camera picks it up. This is not a bad thing as it's picking up the motion and I think any camera would do this.We've since moved into another house and resetting these were simple and they were up and running in no time. The only thing that would be nice is if you could turn all the cameras on/off (along with the notifications) in one step. Instead you have to go into each camera and set them on/off which isn't a huge deal but it would be nice to be able to be able to do it in one step. If you can I haven't figured out how yet. lol All in all I highly recommend these cameras and will be buying a couple more soon.

The price, quality, no monthly bills, you can’t go wrong! Tiny investment & BIG bang for your buck.
I am NOT new (12 YEARS and TWO other brands) to the home camera arena for sure. I came to notice how many models of the Tapo’s there were. I then dove in and figured what was best for me. One of my criteria was that it didn’t force cloud storage and subscription service on you, an SD card would be all you need. It also had to have Motion and Sound detection, and higher resolution than what I was used to was an extra treat. I decided upon the indoor/outdoor Tapo C120’s knowing they would be for indoor use as all my others in the past were. This gives me an option to move any outdoors if I ever had a need. I use a couple of them, instead of being outdoors, on windowsills or on door glass pointing outside. So that you know, if you plan to use in this way, you can not have night vision on. You would get a glass reflection of the night vision sensors. This way has worked fine for me for every model in my past 12 year line-up, as long as there is a porch light, street light, entry door light, some kind of light you are fine. There were several incredible, unexpected surprises after I installed 4 of these. The image quality is amazing, super sharp and clear. The App is super fast and responsive compared to my old... You can easily and instantly swipe between cameras, or just as swiftly look at recorded events (alarms). You can even put the camera’s in grouped batches of 4-up on a screen together. The flexibility in mounting options make it super easy to put wherever you would like. I am amazed at the difference and how far the technology has come in such a short time. Oh and did I say the price is a fraction of all the other I purchased in the past ? I can buy four Tapo C120’s for the price of ONE of either of my old brands. Right now I am running all 4 Tapo’s remotely in another home and plan to purchase more for primary home and do away with my older inferior brand. My situation was kind of unique and I had some questions, so I reached out to Technical Support. I have to give a shout out to Cliff as my main Technical Support contact. The team went over and above any expectations I ever could imagine from a support standpoint. I have passed my knowledge onto friends and family about these, as you can’t beat these cameras all in all. The price point, the quality, no nagging monthly bills, you can’t go wrong ! Tiny investment with a huge bang for your buck. I am not writing this review for promotional purposes or any of the such…. I am writing it because when I come across a stand-out product and customer service together, I want to tell my story for others.

Great, but App will not continuously record w/o SD card
Having used other Wi-Fi cameras including Google Nest cams (and much more expensive pro & semi-pro security hardware), as well as having a career in electronic & broadcast engineering, I think I’m uniquely qualified to give this a fair unbiased review! First off it’s phenomenal for the money. Better resolution and more features than previous generation Nest cameras for a fraction of the price. While the hardware is seemingly not as durable as some competitors, at this price they’re more or less disposable! There was one surprise for me that everyone should be aware of (that if I had done a little research, I probably would have figured out before purchasing on a whim during Amazon prime days)! Unlike other services I have used, when you use the TAPO app (which I paid for a years worth upfront for 4 cams) just be aware it only streams live, and then records segments to the cloud when there is motion detected. If you want to record continuously, every cam has to have an SD card installed. The app then uses the memory locally on the SD card to playback segments (but of course is limited by the memory of the card). Then like other systems (and dash cams), it just starts rewriting over older video/audio. The app is very intuitive and functional although I would like to be able to monitor all cameras at once (which may be possible as I’ve only played with it a couple of days). Installation was a breeze and simple. Very intuitive for non-tech people. Overall, I’m extremely pleased with the performance &bfeatures. Time will tell about durability and I’m sure their app will probably get some upgrades over time. A very competitive product. I would’ve given it five stars if for the $119 for a year of 4 camera service, it would record continuously into the cloud. That way, if you have a break-in the cameras are destroyed, the full recording is remotely saved.

Buena opción de camara, incluye lo que dice, único detalle es que el cable si es algo corto.

This camera was very easy to set up with the Tapo app. It also works flawlessly with iSpy monitoring software making a subscription unnecessary. The IR is excellent and much better than other similar camera (Foscam C2, Wyze V3). The non-IR low-light vision is very good. I tested this in a completely dark garage with an ordinary night-light and I can see the whole area well, albeit at a lower resolution (grainy). Person-detection worked perfectly in all lighting scenarios.

He comprado muchas camaras de seguridad, esta es por mucho la mejor de todas. Es muy pequeña y ligera, tiene varias formas de montarse, y ya que es magnetica, se puede montar sin necesidad de perforaciones. La imagen tambien es exepcional, es solo 2k pero tiene la mejor imagen de noche que visto en cualquier camara; como permitirte apagar el modo blanco y negro de vision nocturna (que perjudica mas que ayudar) la camara se ajusta a poca iluminacion y se ve casi como de dia y a color. Y a 560 pesos, cuesta la mitad de otras camaras que tienen mucho peor imagen.

Nicely engineered and designed, works well, Tapo app is also pretty good. I’ve been switching my smart home things and wifi router to TP-Link and their sub brands (Tapo, Kasa), and I’m very pleased with all of them, and part of that is also the price points!
