Widget doesn’t work. I really like Tapo products, but after the latest update, it seems like the ability to control the light switch on/off feature has been disabled from Today View widget.. Now, I can't use the widget anymore, and I have to open the app every time I want to turn the light on or off. I hope the developer can fix this issue or enable it again!🤷🏽‍♂️

Great. Works great so far I’m a barber and I use it to turn on my hot towel warmer and hot lather machine from home so by the time I get there everything’s ready and hot for my first client And also a hobbyist woodworker and have another connected to my dust control makes it easy to turn it in and off

Kasa is better. Visually Tapo is superior to the kasa cams but functionality Kasa has them beat. Currently running 2 kasa cams, kasa doorbell, and 1 Tapo c-120 outdoor cam. When logged in on Tapo I like to have all cams on a monitor. All my kasa cams give me consistent video feed that I don’t have to refresh to keep the live video. The Tapo cam I do and it’s very annoying. When I do refresh feed for Tapo it always ALWAYS never works so I have to close entire app and start over. Was excited to try Tapo but I’m returning that one for a Kasa outdoor cam.

Unwanted feature in latest update. Since the latest update in Nov. 2020, keeping a camera stream on for 5 minutes shows a notification saying “You have viewed the live video for 5 minutes without any operation. Continue the viewing?” We used this as a baby monitor and now it’s useless since the stream cuts off after 5 minutes (requiring a click/touch). Why not include an option to disable this feature for those of us want to use our devices as a monitoring tool?

Better than I expected and easy setup. Bought at least three other cameras from other vendors and could never get them to work properly on initial setup attempt. Sometimes they would connect but would not stay connected. All three from different vendors and setup was the same on all of them. They were the dome type. I finally found this one and it was amazing how easy they are to setup and the clarity of the picture is amazing. Better than I was expecting 😊. I bought two at first just to see how they were going to work. After having such a great experience I bought three more

MOST DEPENDABLE SMART HOME SOLUTION AVAILABLE @ a reasonable cost‼️. I now have over 1 page of switches, dimmers, and now a C-120 camera on the Tapo app! With dusk-to-dawn timers, clock timers, TP-Link has made the task of operating a smart home so easy + Alexa NEVER gets it wrong! The C-120 camera was a test to compare it with the Wyze v3 camera. It is NOTICEABLY better, especially it’s audio pickup. In fact, the mikes & speaker are far superior to the v3! Unfortunately, I have a number of Wyze cameras, so replacing all of them will be quite a project. TP-LINK IS A WINNER ‼️

GREAT!!!!. I didn’t want to spend a lot of money on cameras to keep a eye on things at home and keep a eye on my dogs! I got a set of two cameras for a very good price and it was super easy to set up!! The motion detection is amazing it alerts me when there is a person or motion! I am able to talk to my dogs from 20 miles away!! I love the camera set up! It’s amazing and very affordable!! Thank you for making it possible for me without having to spends hundreds of dollars!!!

Why did you do this?. Tapo camera new application. Why did the programmers change the pan & tilt from hold down the arrow & release to tapping (keyclicks) to rotate the camera? Do the programmers get a big bonus for adding useless key clicks? Why did the programmers put the “alarm on/off” on the first screen? Sometimes the way I handle my phone/device, I turn on the alarm accidentally. Likewise, accidentally turn off the alarm when I don’t want it off. Put the “alarm on/off” back into settings.

Smart lights aren’t smart at all. Very limited themes. Can only seem to be able to edit the two terrible default themes and not creat new ones. Timing and transition options are really limited in themes. More importantly, themes cannot be applied to a group of lights, nor can the lights seem to act in unison with one another. When using to control a group of lights the functionality is even more limited. Can’t apply a theme (such as cycling through the rainbow of colors) to a group of lights at once. Instead, you have to click into each individual bulb and set the theme, and none of the bulbs are in sync with one another. It is a terrible user experience and looks terrible. If you’re looking for cheap smart RGB lights, the Feit RGB lights are pretty much the same and the app can do much more and the lights are way easier to control. I sent back the 20 lights I bought since they have no group smart functionality.

So far so good. I have made the transition from google home and their cameras to the new tapo cams and so far I am not regretting that choice. I grew tired of googles horrible camera experience along with wasting money on their expensive products that only worked good in the beginning. I’m so glad I found this company. The tapo app is pretty easy to use, I like the how easy it is to create smart routines. The cameras are definitely better quality and the night vision is superb! One suggestion is maybe add the option for dark mode for the app. Keep up the great work! Looking forward to being a long term customer.

Great device!. I purchased an indoor camera to keep an eye on my beloved cat anytime, and I am extremely satisfied with it. I've grown even fonder of my cat by witnessing moments of relaxation when I'm not around and seeing it eagerly waiting for me at the entrance. I would love for you to share in this joy. It's a highly satisfying product.

Terrible Design. This App will drive you crazy with the constant orientation switching. The cameras fail to connect much of the time. (The cameras with their own hub are much more reliable). They should stick to landscape mode and just scale back to present all of the settings on one screen. The default screen should be a display of 6 cameras, then a swipe to the next 6, etc. Upon launch, the program should immediately poll and buffer all the cameras simultaneously so that you can quickly see at least some of the cameras during a security emergency. It does no good when you have a prowler lurking outside and the “thinking wheel” is just pinning around. Like many Apps, they’re overthinking the interface. Default presentation = 6 screens, tap on any screen to blow it up foll screen. Tap once to return to full screens OR tap twice to see control options for that camera, including recordings.

Excellent.. Switched over from Kasa to Tapo because Tapo had sensors I wanted to add to my system. Loaded the Tapo app and everything from Kasa transferred over pretty much automatically. The Tapo app has more features than the Kasa app and everything Kasa integrated into everything Tapo I added to my system. Tapo app even has a 4 camera on one screen view they never mentioned. I’m much happier with the Tapo and the hardware and automations than I was with the Kasa. Highly recommend switching over even without any Tapo devices.

Ok for the price. The camera is pretty good (day and night). The sound recording is not the best, but still a good value. I still haven’t figured out how to make the camera move w/ room movement. Also it wasn’t clear it requires a SIM card and an ongoing subscription. I’m trying the 30 day free period and may reconsider. For now, I’d still give it a thumbs up

Overview of app. Over all the app works well and does a good job. Had some trouble at first getting them to connect. But after working through that issue on my own. It connected and worked like a champ. This is the third camera from the TP family of cameras. The first one is a Kasa and I’ve been using it for three years with no problems. The new pan and tilt camera has a pretty nice camera view. Very clear and crisp. So far I’ve been pretty happy with all my products that have been purchased from TP-Link and KASA. For the money I don’t think you will find a better product line.

Great system, easy to use, highly recommend. Great system, easy to use, highly recommend. We are using it with a TP-Link camera for the front door. The only thing is that the camera audio is not very loud. But that is not the fault of this app.

It just works!. Needed a little extra piece of mind being gone for a few weeks. Simple to install, app is clean and easy, picture quality better than expected and an even better value compared to bigger names out there. I’ll be buyin a couple more units.

Getting better, still work to be done!. This app is an iPad app that has been ported over to run on Mac OS. It likes to crash if you have it open when you put the computer to sleep and it gets confused when you change its orientation sometimes. But other than that it has worked reasonably well and is handy to have on the desktop. Despite its issues, it is still quite handy. I look forward to stability improvements in the future.

THE VERY BEST VPN SERVICE. I’ve tried almost every top 10 VPN Services or Company’s and Express VPN has been the best in so many categories…. Password Generation, 94-97 Country’s of VPN’s to choose from, 24/7 Human Support, Coverage for 5 Devices $100 a Year, Simple Password Protection, Protected Internet Searching and I could keep going & going & going on about the BENEFITS but I will let you figure out EXPRESS VPN IS THE BEST!!!! Norton wanted $350 a year for the same service & Mcafee wanted $400 plus for the same service but only coverage of 3 devices.

LOVE - HIGHLY RECOMMEND. I was having so much trouble with my Victure baby monitor camera and decided to try this one. AH-MAZING. You can move up and down and left and right to get a good view. It offers notifications for baby crying and movement detection. The night vision is GREAT. I feel much more secure about keeping an eye on my baby with this camera. Easy set up and the app is so easy to use. If you are thinking about buying the camera that goes with this app- DO IT!

Nice Cameras. I did a lot of research before I bought these I’m March 2023. They are very easy to set up and the app is very functional. Clear picture and zoom feature is nice. Negatives Voice from the camera to your phone is fine. Voice from you phone to the camera in not really good and choppy. Not a deal breaker as I bought those to watch my dog and I’d call the police if I seen someone. With that said, you can be notified anytime there is motion within the camera view or not be notified. There is an alarm that can be set to go off but it’s not loud and sounds like a child’s toy. I just keep it off and call the police if needed. Overall, wifi is great but does require a plug or outlet. App is also great at managing multiple cameras. Storage is nice on the SD card or you can put in the cloud for a price of course. I do recommend these cameras as they have many other attachments to the system you can buy.

Pet watch. I purchased the pair of indoor cameras to check on my house cat. They were very easy to set up and offer clear video of each location. I set them to view his two favorite sleeping spots. The voice microphone is not perfectly clear but work well for the purpose.

Can’t add to HomeKit. This app’s Help article says the plugs’ Settings screen should have an “Add to HomeKit” button, but it does not. Why? Please help. I want to add my TP15 smart plugs (Matter-compatible) to Apple’s Home app. They refused to respond to its “Add Accessory” feature. I eventually found my way to this app, which adds them fine and updates the TP15 firmware. I thought the whole point of Matter was compatibility. I don’t want another system.

Love it!. At first I was iffy on purchasing this camera and after I got it in the mail and the easy set up I was extremely happy. I downloaded that app and thought it was going to be a little difficult to learn how to use it but it was very easy. If your looking for a home camera I definitely would consider Tapo. I have had it for almost two weeks and I love it.

Better Than Apple Home App. I first purchase some Tapo plugs to connect with the Home App, but connectivity was always an issue. I switched to the Tapo app, and all of that ended. The interface is smooth and easy to use and set up. It’s a reliable app as I look to make our house smart.

Overall solid. The app does a good job of doing what it can do, but it could do more. Not being able to use settings such as the theme, schedule, or away schedule for grouped items is one of its biggest faults. In order to set a certain schedule for a group of lights, you have to set each individual bulb up. Not being able to see bulb wattage usage for a group of bulbs is a shame too. So many settings and feature that get removed from grouped bulbs.

Spy Can. I got this camera for my elderly mom, who is turning 90 this year, It works wonderfully, the only problem I have is every time there is a motion detected your phone Will let you. Which is kind of annoying, but it’s probably BC I don’t know how to turn that setting off. Other than that I think it’s a really good inexpensive way of monitoring your home , pets, parents, spouse, children and teenagers!

Clear Picture. The picture was surprisingly clear for an inexpensive camera. It’s so reassuring that it works so well even when I must leave my home for brief moments. The motion and person detection works great, so if my dog enters a room, I’m able to know immediately as well as use the speaking feature. I’ve been very satisfied with this purchase!

Camera 🎥. I love this camera 😀it have its perks like an alarm that go off when someone come to the door which I like bc it makes them look around and if it’s any funny business I got the whole face and profile if you have not got you a Tapo bows the time thank me later. Dyme

Best Home or Business Security System. The best money I have ever spent on a product. Please include a option to store all images and video of possible intruders in the cloud. Also in night vision an option to turn in the camera as flash light to capture the complete face of the person. If there was back up power battery bank, so if power goes off it can still be recording even with out WiFi signal, that would be nice.

Technology moves along. I have a couple of old security cameras that have seen better days, so I decided to try the newest TP-Link one. Much easier to set up than the old ones, and this control app is a definite improvement. Minor issues were that the shortcut was initially confusing (it isn’t an “Apple Shortcut” but is a stand-alone widget), and that using it to set/clear privacy mode only shows a *tiny* dot to indicate success (needs to be bigger and more visible). But these aren’t deal-breakers. The cloud video storage is good value, but you don’t have to use it. A bonus is that the notification of any motion will go to your Apple watch if you have one. Highly recommended.

Buggy when migrating from Kasa. I got an email about this app superseding the Kasa app so installed it only to see that my devices weren’t matched to the homes I had set up no way to move devices between homes in this new app. Naturally, I thought that I could simply remove them from Tapo and readd them to the proper home but this resulted in the devices being removed from the Kasa app too so now I get to spend my evening going around the house to manually readd them. The app is okay but lookout if you’re trying to migrate from Kasa like TP-Link is pushing people to do.

How come there are so many good reviews!!. I am really surprised that there are so many positive reviews. I bought Tapo C310 and it stopped working within 6 months. I saw reviews did not drop and assumed may be this was a rare case. After an year of that first purchase, I bought C320WS and it is malfunctioning from the day one. It stops streaming within a few minutes. If I reboot, it streams for another few minutes before stopping. I had plenty of other security cameras from MI, YI, and they’ve been working for years. Unfortunately they do not produce outdoor cameras.

Life changing. I have been dealing with a transportation company blocking my driveway now for 4 years. Their supervisor is my neighbor. They block my driveway while the go in her house to talk to her. So, I have filed a complaint with the Better Business Bureau. Now I have video footage to submit in court. Why didn't I think of this sooner? Life changing indeed.

Amazing. The Tapo unit is perfect for my need, monitoring a dementia patient. The GREAT performance features and low cost make me wonder why I didn’t do this sooner. Price, no monthly expense, and ability to permanently retain video on SD cards is amazing. My only complaint is the need to hit the button each time past activity is viewed rather than have it locked in the 16X position. Otherwise, there is NOTHING wrong. Thank you, Tapo! I’m going to buy another one (or more) and tell everyone who will listen. 🙂👍

Incredible app, but….. The app is great I love it, but I think the only thing it lacks is a personalized or costume cruise, I like that the camera has the feature to cruise either vertically or horizontally, but my the place where I put my camera has some blind spots and when I put it on cruise mode it remains a very long time focusing on that blind area. So it would be ideal if you could mark the point form where it might cruise.

Easily view and delete videos. I keep these cameras on my pets, and I can easily scroll through multiple videos set for movement, people detection or both, and I can fast forward through them and delete them quickly.

Love this camera. I previously had a Samsung wireless camera from 2014 that I loved and it worked fine until they decided a week ago to discontinue support to the camera. I just purchased this Tapo camera and I must say I am impressed with this camera. Resembles my Samsung camera except for the option of playing music. I really like this camera. It will work well.

Love this gadget. I just bought this little gem of a gadget. I needed something to spy on my little troublemaker chihuahua and it did not fail me!! The motion detection is awesome, as soon as Manny makes a move “Manny’s Nanny” sends me a motion detection alert on my phone, so I can see what he’s up to!! The range of motion is excellent and the clarity of the picture is top notch for such a small device. It allows you to zoom in for a better look. Definitely worth the money for the camera quality and tech abilities. But worth even more for the entertainment factor of watching my dog get into mischief!

Two people signing in on one account. This app would be great however I do NOT like how two people can’t be signed into one account and both of them get full access to all features! That is my only complaint! My sister and I share a house and because the cameras came in while I was at work I had her go ahead and set them up well she did and when I got home I just signed into the account she made. It kicked her off and when she would sign in on her phone it would kick me off so she had to share it with me in order for us both to be able to watch the cameras BUT she gets full access to all features and I do NOT. THE ONLY THING I CAN DO FROM MY PHONE IS WATCH AND REPLAY THATS IT!!!!! can you please fix it to where both people in the home gets full access to all the features!

Amazing!. App and devices work perfectly. Functionality between app and cameras is almost flawless. Alert system works really well, and this allows you to configure all devices as you desire. I wish I could access devices from my PC, but with the way the cloud functions, Live feed and SD recording, good enough.

PLEASE ADD Landscape Mode. It would make the app perfect.. I love the simplicity of TP Link products and the UI is amazing. I just wish this app worked in Landscape Mode since I set it up for my mom and she always uses her iPad with her keyboard. It’s the only app she has that doesn’t work in landscape and it’s kind of a turn off having to use it in portrait only. Please TP Link app Landscape mode!

10x better. I used to use the kasa app for my lights from TP-Link. It was just ok, some issues and lights not working on schedule. I purchased a few Tapo plugs and at first was annoyed they needed a different app to install. Once I found out I could easily incorporate the kasa bulbs into the Tapo app, I was happy. Everything has been streamlined and the app is clean. Thank you TP-Link.

Reliable. I have almost two months using Tapo and let me tell you it has been incredible amazing. I purchased it to monitor my puppy. You are able to see so clear during the night. It’s night vision has pretty good quality. Totally worth investing in one these cameras.

Doesn’t truly bridge gap between KASA and TAPO Devices. I received a message from TP-Link about the new TAPO app ability to manage my KASA devices. The app does recognize the KASA devices in general, but falls short in key areas. It doesn’t allow automation triggers by the KASA devices like the KASA app does. Although it sees the KASA device and gives you manual control, it won’t let you select said device as a trigger. It also has a flaw in that it sees a KASA wireless camera hub at the device level with an indication of the number of connected cameras, when you drill down to the next level it says there are zero connected cameras. The cameras can be viewed at the device list, but the hub detail info says there are none connected. Indoor KASA wifi cameras are not recognized at all and can’t be added to TAPO app. True integration is still lacking, so the ability to leave the KASA app behind for the TAPO app doesn’t exist yet at the vers. 3.5 level.

Love my Tapo Cams - much better then Wyze cams. Recently I upgraded my WIFI router and my Wyze V3 would not connect to the new WIFI. I was hesitant to by Tapo, but so glad I made the correct choice. Tapo blows away the Wyze cams that I was using . Tapo viewing resolution is superior and they easily connected to my new WIFI network. The app is easy to setup and far more configurable to Wyze. I am very happy with my purchase .

1 week and it’s got great useability and response. I do not normally review apps, but I am using this, obviously, with one of the cameras, and I just got, and have had a security system in the past (LaView) which has/had HORRID APP and functionality and live streaming delay. The Tapo app is GREAT and is the only one so far with a *PRIVACY* mode which instantly disables recording and streaming. BEST THING is internet is NOT required to see your cameras or get playback from the camera SD card. All the cheap Chinese ones make you view your camera them through their server. This option has to be done on your router however; it’s not an option in the software or app.

Good app, slightly irritating UX. Tapo app has good performance and features. I don’t have and issues with login or lag when connecting to my Tapo camera. It’s also nice that I can link to Kasa and manage all my devices together in Tapo. The full-screen notifications in the app are a bit too much. I am fully aware that I could activate two-factor authentication, but it doesn’t seem necessary for cameras that I’m using in my shed and garage. And having a sale promo pop up when I open the app actually makes me less inclined to buy another Tapo camera. I’m just trying to quickly check my garage door and shed before I go to bed, and these are just getting in my way.

Doesn't allow for prolonged viewing. Mostly good camera and features but the super annoying part is that it cuts out very often to say that you haven't performed any operations in 5 mins and asks if you'd like to continue viewing. I timed it this morning. It asked every 2 mins! Highly irritating when you use the camera for extended viewing times (1 hr+) like we do. There is absolutely no way to change this setting so that it will run longer before cutting out. Please consider adding this capability!

Great replacement for Kasa app. I easily migrated all my Kasa devices to this app and use it instead of the Kasa app; it’s nicer looking and easier to use. I’ve also now added a Tapo hub and wireless button to control my lights which is much more convenient than having to use my phone.

I can hear my voice on the camera. The last few days I can hear my voice on the cameras even though it’s very faraway, it’s through the microphone on my phone, I switch off microphone on my phone it’s still doing it. It might of been from the latest update, this is a big issue for me please fix it.

Constantly nags you to upgrade to a paid subscription. This app constantly nags you to upgrade to a paid subscription. There’s no way to turn this off. If you urgently need to see your camera video feed , the nagging gets in the way and delays you from seeing your video. This delay could harm you because it might delay you from taking urgent action, for example where an assault is taking place. The nagging is not only wilfully intrusive but potentially harmful. The developers are clearly putting users’ interests last.

It’s alright but cost ontop is a down :/. The app is good and camera but it’s pretty anoying and unsatisfactory that you have to pay for a subscription PER CAMERA or device per month to use it to the most useful way… Otherwise it’s kinda useless because you can review any footage, you can only see when you check the app so things can happen on the camera you wouldn’t know about… pretty sad about that

Fantastic value, great quality.. Outstanding value for money, we cannot fault our new camera and app and recommend it to others without reservation 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

Great camera. Maybe I’m just using it wrong but I think it could be better and more streamline. It’d be good if you could change the settings between Home and Away mode (and privacy settings) in one settings menu, without having to switch modes. This would ensure the settings always apply and don’t change. I’m finding that my settings wont stay as I set them. My only complaint about the camera itself is that the screws for the SD slot were so tight I had to break the cover off just to access it, which leaves my SD card vulnerable to theft.

No Landscape for iPad. App is ok, but still completely gimped by the fact that it doesn’t support landscape on the iPad unless you’re actually viewing a video. The majority of iPad cases and use case scenarios these days, even Apple’s marketing material, all have the iPad in landscape. It’s very frustrating to use when you need to remove the iPad from a case just to use the app. Really baffling design choice for an app that has such heavy focus on video.

I’m Impressed!. I purchased a couple of what I assumed were budget cameras that were also on sale and I’ve had a really good experience. The software is well written and works without glitches, setup was almost too easy, the outdoor wifi cameras have more range than I was expecting, recording quality night and day is again better than expected. Highly recommended!

Frustrating with poor usability. I’ve been using the app for a couple of weeks so far and am very disappointed in it. It can do most of what it says but in the most clumsy way eg i have 2 motion sensors and i only want notifications when im not home but i have to go into the sensors individually to turn this off or on and then separately turn the hub alarm on or off. The smart automation is anything but smart. I also can’t change the layover time in Patrol Mode for two reasons 1) because the selector is so hard to use snd 2) because the Save button is permanently greyed out so even if i can change it, i can’t save it. Usability has clearly not been a consideration for the app designers and it shows.

Effective security. Second Tapo camera purchased recently and placed in the shed. Easy set up and good connectivity at a distance of 20 meters. With motion-activated notifications to my mobile I feel our secrity has been enhanced with these cameras

Best of the bunch!. Had a few teething problems with the App but once set up cam is simple, easy to use by day or night and with great resolution. Support is surprisingly good via live chat and email. Replies sent within 24 hours and genuine efforts made to assist! Don't leave home without one (or two!) 👍👍👍

A cam system that works. Literally less than 1minute tk set up and have running, unlike other brands I have tried and are flakey if they work at all. Only 4 days in but have had 100% coverage with no problems. Alarm works as it should, detecting either people, cars or both with not any false alarms yet. The cat walked across screen without tripping it while set to person detect, which then promptly notified me when a person walked into view moments later. I’m running a Tapo C110 and Tapo C320WS, and am having the same experience with both cams. I will be buying more soon.

Great smart looking lights!. I bought a smart light for my room about a week ago and I found it great especially when connecting it to my google home

Affordable, reliable and easy to use. I started out with one camera (c200) and had it up and running in less than 5 minutes. The app is pleasant to use with good features and interface. I’ve expanded my camera range after the good experience from the c200 and the app handles all the cameras live streaming simultaneously very well. What the stand out thing for me was how instant and quick motion detection notifications are sent to your device. I compared the tapo against two higher end hikvision cameras that were placed next to the tapo and viewing the exact same scene and on every occasion when I purposely walked in front of the cameras to set off the motion detection the tapo was the first camera that I received a notification of motion detection to my phone out of the three. The other two were not far behind but never did they beat the tapo. That’s pretty impressive compared to the price difference between hikvision and tapo cameras. Also recording and play back on an installed SIM card in the camera works well. And the wifi connection is unreal. The live feed is like it’s a wired connection. These cameras are good bang for your buck.

Really good but need help. Ok so I’ve had the light strip for a while now and it’s been great but recently there’s no place on the app where I can change the colour? And if I go into effects and try changing the colour there it changes it to a wayyyyy lighter version of the colour or a different colour?! Please fix this or tell me how to fix it! But overall great app

Needs an update. Desperately needs an update. I set a schedule for the lights to turn on and off at a certain time and 4 out of 5 days now it won’t turn off or on. Even pressing the off button doesn’t always work. This is resulting in my lights being on all day when I’m out. Not impressed!

Easy to use. We bought two globes for bedrooms. We will get more. The app is so easy to use our 4 year old can do it. I got them both working in a matter of minutes.

Amazing Love It!. I have connected a smart plug to my Led Lights and bedroom Lamp. I am now very happy because I can turn them on and off from my Google nest hub without having to get up and use the led remote and it is very hard to get to the switch of my lamp so this makes it much easier. Best thing ever

Disappointing. I bought 4 Tapo C210 cameras. While using them in my home network they work fantastic. But as soon as you try and access the live feed or playback remotely it’s shocking the TP-Link cloud servers are very slow. It’s virtually impossible to view a feed. So I did some testing. I connected my Tapo cameras to my third party NVR and now it works perfectly not going through TP Link cloud servers. The feed is instant and no delay. You really need to fix this issue as it’s been going on for a long time. Most of my family bought the same cameras. They also have the same issue as me. The app is good. But the TP-Link cloud servers are not good. Also can you please bring back the clear all notifications button on the app. Thanks. I hope you can fix all these issues.

Works nicely.. I looked around for something to give me an idea of how much power my computers were consuming, and this does exactly that. One of my computers uses around 30 watts while idle, but as soon as I start encoding a video, it jumps up to around 200 watts, but it does hit peaks of around 238 watts at times. It’s also handy for being to turn on and off electrical devices likes lamps. I was able to use Siri to make it voice activated, which is brilliant (this can be done with Alexa as well).

So easy to install and useful!. I bought the Tapo for my small business and house. It so easy to install and the function is very useful. The quality of pictures, videos and voice is about 4 stars for me because it’s frozen sometimes

Fantastic! (Please add Siri Shortcuts). The Tapo range is fantastic. I am currently replacing my old cameras with the C310 and it is going great. The features are fantastic, however my only comment to improve is to add Siri Shortcuts. I would like to activate Home Mode and Away Mode with Siri and I think Siri Shortcuts would be the best way to achieve this. Thanks!

Regular notifications. I am very happy for the regular notification that movement has been detected on both cameras . I bought a third camera which I have to install soo

Not working. App wont let me add a location for my devices or add them to a group, every single time i try to do anything with my device i am met with around a 5 minute loading time and then it tells me an error has occurred and to try again later. I have turned my phone on and off, tried updating the app and lightbulbs, tried turning them off from the power switch and tried disconnecting and reconnecting the light bulbs but no matter what i do it wont work. There is nothing in the support section for my issue and i dont know what to do.

Works well. This app works well, especially since it allows the continued use of the various Kasa devices, which simplifies things no end. The Tapo set up is very easy especially when multiple devices are in use because of the way the network password only need to be entered once. (I've running about 15 Tapo and Kasa devices to individually charge my LiPo devices which allows greater control and ensuring Lithium batteries are fully charged for the min time then switched off)

Very convenient, useful and Ness are in today’s world.. Since I install the cameras I have constantly been using them. They give me a sense of security because my house and my garage has been burgled in the past. Now that I have them it help me in many ways to make me and my household feel more safe.

Could be better. The camera views are very clear, except that facial features are not clear, making it difficult to identify a person. Also, my two cats keep triggering the notifications even though I have decreased the motion sensitivity to 2. Also, the area intrusion features are not accurate even after numerous adjustments on the activity zones, resulting in constant triggering by passing cars. I would only give it a three stars.

Great camera. I’ve had a few home security cams and this one is always the best. Easy to use and accurate. Great quality images and footage. Has a lot of easy to use features. Would recommend to anyone.

App Update: Looks Good, Runs Slow!. Absolutely love my little camera, it's great for spying on our dogs while at work! The new app update to version 3 leave much to be desired in regards to speed - it's significantly slower to load and much more glitchy then version 2. I have a relatively new phone so it isn't a hardware issue. It would be good if these issues could be prioritised going forward - a camera that takes a long time to load isn't very useful!

Good integration with Kasa. This new version combines the old Kasa devices as well as the new Tapo ones in one app. Simply link Kasa to your new Tapo account in the menu, and all your old devices are listed straight away. It’s too easy, they’ve done a good job!!!

Useless person detection ai. Considering the cloud / ai is a $ per month subscription expectations were that it would work. Doesn’t reliably detect people or differentiate people from shadows bushes etc. The cause is most likely a very cheap detection algorithm. Had this over 12 months and from a technical background have tested in a variety of settings and it’s just bad. Basically look elsewhere if you want reliable person detection alerts. Cameras and app are cheap and otherwise not too bad.

Great security camera. This camera provides an excellent image/video and it’s sensor is spot on. The camera can store recordings to the Cloud so you can view and download as you need and it’s also a protection against anyone that tries to steal or damage the camera. The app provides alerts and you can access the camera from anywhere that has access to the web. It’s easy to install and set up. I highly recommend this camera and the app.

Easy to operate for Seniors. After our beautiful dog passed away ( he would let us know if anyone was lurking about) we just needed a bit of security, This was recommended to us by a young guy in Good Guys. If you have some basic skills, this little gadget was fantastic. Anyone that walks need our home, it alert us.

Could be great but…. The app pauses the stream every few minutes and wants you to respond to a dialog box. Pretty annoying for a camera that is intended for security viewing remotely. Everything else about the camera and app is great, easy installation and setup, works from any internet location etc. But this is a big problem and there seems to be no good reason for this behaviour.

First impressions…. Have only had the camera for a couple of days - and it seems to be a good piece of kit. Will be using it when we go on holiday - piece of mind to be able to see the front door is secure, etc. I can also pan the camera to look outside and see how fast the grass is growing. May well invest in a second camera for other parts of the property. The app also works very well.

Easy as. Great little cameras Very easy to use app Easy set up, worked seamlessly. Very impressed that something worked right from the start with no hiccups. Hope it stays that way. Has been going for over 4 weeks without one problem. Thank you

Great app! Easy to use and setup devices. I got this app to setup a couple of Tapo outdoor wifi security cameras. Setup was simple and easy to follow even for someone with little tech knowledge. Interface is easy to use but I haven’t tried it with other smart home devices yet.

Great temperature monitor. We use this to see the temperature in our dog house outside, it’s very helpful to see in the app the current temp and the history over the day, as well as set temperature alerts to know when it’s too hot!

Enlightening to be sure :-). Have only just started using it after getting 4 bulbs and so far I’m loving it, need to get the power plugs next I think but having the lights turn on at set times and set brightness has made life a lot simpler specially for when I’m away, nobody can tell if anyone is home or not.

Reliable. Once set up, which isn’t too difficult, it does what it says it will and continues doing it until you tell it otherwise. Which is just what you want.

Finally!!!!!. Kasa integration! Now I can buy more Kasa and Tapp cameras without needing different apps!!! Hooray!!! One feedback though. When in full screen and using the “call” function, can you update the app to hide all the buttons? It takes up space in the full screen which mean you can it the full screen clearly.

Good upgrade to Kasa app. When my new P300 power board wouldn’t connect with the Kasa app I thought I would have to use 2 apps to control my devices. However I signed in with the same credentials and all my older Kasa devices were moved to the new app and the addition of the new device was extremely easy. The Tapo interface is much nicer than the old one.

I don’t like the update for iPad. Just one little issue I’ve found on iPad 9. I had trouble changing the Brightness setting of my smart-bulb when making a Shortcut. The brightness slider has been changed to the bottom of the screen where you now have to scroll down to find it. I prefer the older design, as the brightness slider was right in front of you. That’s the only reason I took 1 star off my rating.

Widget needs some work.. Please work on the widget. Your devices report on a whole bunch of stats and actions, from power usage to light and security camera activation. There not a widget ability to turn all or set lights on, or cameras on by widget or view total power usage stats?

Awesome Smart Home System - 30+ devices in my setup!. So far I’m really liking the Tapo system. I started with one cheap camera but now have five cameras including two C420S2 which has amazing AI for people and car detection. Haven’t tried pets but assume it works just as well. We have a few acres and it’s hard to know when cars are arriving sometimes so the cameras will make the hub chime when a car is coming down the driveway. Or if it detects people late at night. We’ve got a bunch of globes but what I’m especially liking are the motion sensors and buttons. Unfortunately they’re not available in Australia yet so I purchased from Europe. They’re amazing. Lamps that turn on at night automatically, one button to turn all the lamps in a room on… there just doesn’t seem to be a limit yet for what’s possible.

Great cameras. I’m really happy with my Tapo security cameras, they work really well for me and are reliable. I had other well known brands before but I had constant issues with them but not with Tapo. Tapos price are great, cameras are reliable and easy to set up and manage. If I could wish for something - it would be that Tapo could have a red notification sit in front of the app so I clearly can see if it has got a notification in case I missed it. Add that and it would be 5*

DO NOT BUY. TLDR Do not buy these products because whenever you try to connect, it turns out and perhaps 3/10 attempts will work as intended. I am so frustrated with these cameras. I bought 2 outdoor cameras and two indoor, and it’s been hard work ever since. Whilst everything “works” - it is not demonstrating reliability. (1) Signal strength/break. The front camera that covers the street, parking and car, after a few seconds of watching the feed, stops working and after 30 seconds asks me to refresh the feed. I refresh and the. The camera simply displays “offline.” This camera is less than 5m from a router my phone and even the car pick up from the street 20m away. Tapo obviously blame my $400 router. (2) Notification “zone.” None of the cameras pay any attention to the boundaries I have setup. I don’t need to be noticed at 5am when my opposite neighbour leaves for work. I need to know what the silly man drives into the back of my car, on my driveway. (3) “Person identification” is absolutely useless. It sends a notification that a person has been detected when in actual fact it was - hold your breath - a possum. (4) Tapo Care/Cloud is PER DEVICE and not per account. Don’t get sucked into it. I wish I could believe all the 5 star reviews weren’t bots. Absolutely ridiculous.

Great and affordable indoor camera. I bought this camera but was not sure if it will work when I am out of the house, but it did!! It now gives me peace of mind when I am out and about.

AMAZING APP. We got the camera and the app in the same thing so we were set I have had this app for 11 years and same with the camera it’s also so easy to set up it took us like 30 minutes to set up the camera this was a really good app definitely recommend 👍

Great product that could be slightly improved. Works as well as a lot dearer products. About the only improvement I can see to make it much better would be to have the option of not alerting for the times you elect not to record.

Reveiw. This app has made it so much easier to operate the lights in my room. When it comes to changing the lights daily it is a piece of cake as there is many different features including, rainbow, bubbly, lightning, valentines, sunset and many, many more. I highly recommend this app! 👍🏽

Awesome 🤩. Great price, easy to set up and use. Picture is clear, recording is easy with a memory card. Definitely want to get a few more.

very good quality and easy to use and good price. very good quality and easy to use and good price

tappo. very clear and the microphone is loud and clear

Easy to setup and use. A lot of choices in the setup

dark mode. i love this app but unless i turn my phone sideways for landscape view the white background on the bottom where the control buttons are burn my eyes. if there was a night/dark mode that was synced with your iphone that would be awesome. thank you.

Excellent. Good signal from Every where

Tapo and C100. great product, quality and functionality for the price ! excellent application very easy to use and setup. thank you to TO-Link for these products. I will for buy other cams and devices from that brand.

Tapo. Happy with Tapo camera

Awesome. Awesome

Terrible camera. Have 1 single camera used to monitor our child, it’s a daily use and daily occurrence that the camera is unable to load. Have ordered a replacement from a superior band. Will be happy the throw this in the trash.

Great except……. Honestly this app is fantastic…Except one small but annoying complaint. They DONT let you change the sound for “motion detection” on the camera. I use the camera to detect motion at a door for packages, family, intruders, etc. All they let you use is the iPhone “tri tone” which most people use when receiving a text message. This sounds minor except if you’re busy you might miss an important motion detection while the phones in your pocket, thinking it’s just another text message. TP Link if you’re reading this, please fix this small bit provoking annoyance. It would make the app 10000x better with just one small fix allowing us to choose a custom tone.

Love This. I enjoy being able to keep an eye on my pets at home while I’m away. I keep it in my bedroom because this is where they spend most of there time. It’s convenient and reliable. Great product and I recommend. Received this from my daughter for a Christmas Gift 🎁

Awesome. Im so in love with this

Tapo. Very practical and intuitive all devices working flawlessly with this app.

Bonne camera. Fonctionne tres bien et facile a installer .

Awesome. There is nothing complicated or complex about setting up the app and camera connection. Because of that it just works. I have had the cameras and app for almost two years and it is flawless. Highly recommend this for home security.

CAMERA. I’m enjoying it

Awesome app. I've used this app for a few days now, I love all the feature, it's very responsive, hasn't crashed and is very intuitive. Great job on this.

Tapo cams. Awesome cams! Clear crisp pic

Poor quality speaker or voip. Great picture but trying to talk to someone over it is totally garbled, currently on Starlink.

Game changer. After another porch theft, getting a Tapo camera and monitoring the front door has been amazing! Thank you!

App removed day/night mode?. I just bought this camera and I am unable to remove night mode like the manual says. My camera doesn’t work because of the night mode, and I need to turn it off but I can’t!

Good app. It does what it’s supposed to. Works well and gives me access to all my Tapo and Kasa devices. I just wish they had an app for MacBook as well.

A must have. User friendly, reliable, capable, worth every penny. You will be very impressed

Macbook Air M1. App is useless on a Macbook Air M1, it crashes within seconds. When it does load, if you click anything it automatically crashes and shuts down. Completely useless. Works well on iphone, but i want to be able to check in on a laptop. Frustrating.

Glad I bought this. It so far works great

Good but Landscape mode. **NEED LANDSCAPE MODE FOR iPAD/Tablets***

Tapo cameras. Clear image, easy to set up and mount and easily customizable for notifications. Rewarded two more.

Great. Nice brand

Works great. Camera’s work great. Quality is so clear both daytime and nighttime. We love it!

Camera. Works nicely! The only problem I had was to access it through my email. I tried two different emails and the emails from Tapo were blocked. I had to use my work email to get the process going. Satisfied overall. Thanks.

Great Cam. Great little cam serves it purpose

Awesome. Excellent

Exactly what I was looking for. This app blends seamlessly with the Tapo camera. I am able to move the camera, hear noises and talk from wherever I am. I am very pleased.

Great. No issue so far. Set up was easy but I pared it with another camera different brand. So I could get info from one source. I’m going to change that.

Très bon application. Bon application je le conseille

Happy Buyer!. I recently purchased and installed a security camera from my home. The camera and app have both worked amazingly - very happy with the service!

Camera. Easy to setup and works great. Excellent value for the money.

Good Camara good software. I use inside room, Night view very clear. Clear pictures easy to operate.

Great little camera …. The title says it all…

Work well. Integrates well with Alexa easy setup , they just work! Excellent value for these Ptz cams

5 étoiles. Très satisfait

Awesome camera. Ordered 4 more

Excellent quality camera. Easy to set up It has a great quality picture Cloud access is easy & free for 30 dsys

Great update, could be better…. 1. PLEASE make the app compatible in landscape mode for those of us using an iPad. It’s long overdue. 2. Widgets are available, but only the old style? Please incorporate the new style with multiple sizes. 3. Add the ability to rename a mark when creating an automation involving a camera. Currently if you want to rename it you have to delete the old mark and create a whole new one. 4. Add more device icons. The Kasa app has way more. (Eg. A Christmas tree, a tall floor light, etc)

Super. Super caméra

Works great. Excellent quality and works great.

Tapo products. Excellent products, they do exactly what they say they do, fantastic app., easy to use.

Life Changing. I’ve been away from my family for almost 6 years now and this device change my life, my worries eveytime that they dont have reply yet on my messages is now gone because I can see them anytime and anywhere I go.

Great quality. Love this camera! Great quality easy to install 😀😀😀

Easy to use. Do almost everything I need the app to do. Easy to use.

Great product. Works perfectly. I could not be happier.

Great App. Seems to be less glitchy than Wemo. Great so far.

Friendly user apps.. 5 Star for this apps. It’s worth investing on these Tapo camera by TP Link. I can monitor my house even though I’m out of the country.

TP-Link Tapo. This app does everything I could ask for from manage the cameras to alerting. I have no complaints or issues

So simple to use. The setup to daily use is so simple and convenient, the camera it self is such a good value for money. I love it!

Good cheap camera. Slight delay but is reliable and works well

Excellent. Very good option price/quality

Found it easy to. Set up, not 100% on how to set up the second one but that is probably just me 😁 has a good range of sight too

Very Useful!. I have a cam to keep an eye on my nocturnal pet and this app is easy to use and helpful!

App won’t show feed anymore. It worked but now it refuses to load, yet i still get notifications about the camera detecting things. Don’t send me notifications then not show the video

Works Great. SO many ways to control the cameras! The app and the cameras are wonderful. Highly recommended.

Good. Very good app, but it would have been better to save some motion beforehand...

Just using it as a simple timer to turn things on and off and it works great.. Just using it as a simple timer to turn things on and off and it works great.

Great product. Bought two of these cameras one for each room .. great quality for the price and very pleased how easy to set up and run :)

Portrait to Landscape rotation. I enjoy the app. However, in an upcoming update can you look at allowing a portrait to a landscape rotation so that it works better on tablets (iPads)? Thank you.

Super easy set up and reliability. Works surprisingly easy right out of the box and have recommended them to friends and clients.

Affordable and Convenient. Easy to setup and use, only wished it was wireless and rechargeable 😁

Best home camera. Very good picture quality. Easy to install. Easy to use.

Easy to use and install. I like the product. This is for those small areas and requires monitoring.

Tapo Camera vs Ring. In side by side use testing, Tapo is hands down, the winner. Same communication with person at door. Better price, better picture (2K), indoor or outdoor, battery or plug. Connect faster, lights or IR night vision. Manage 32 cams via one app. Internal on-site SD storage, configurable record options. Check Tapo and TP-Link. And the best part - NO LIFETIME $ANNUITY$ TO USE WHAT YOU HAVE ALREADY PURCHASED.

So easy!. Very easy to set up new devices and works every time!

Perfect. Very nice little camera for the new baby’s room, already ordered 2 more. Easy set up.

definitely worth it. i had a mobi camera in my daughters nursery. it was constantly lagging, you couldn’t move it from the app and the overall quality wasn’t the best. i ordered this one honestly expecting it to be worse. what i got was a bigger camera, a mounting kit, clearer picture, no lag and i can pan it while in the app. best part it was $40 cheaper than the mobi

Excellent. Easy to set-up and works seamlessly. Definitely getting more cameras

Easy. Such a clear image. Easy set up too. Just do it!

Tapo products. I was a bit bias, this was a pleasant experience. Must have stable internet connection

It’s not downloading on my ipad. I tried to download it to my iPad Pro but it just keeps going around and around in circles and not updating. I cant delete it because it wont let me and i cant update it. What should i do?

Too many notifications. OK app - but it constantly sends notifications while you are actively using the app. I SEE the movement happening, why do I need a notification it’s happening too?

Tapo. Excellent application,connections are very good better than 95%of the time

Useless without subscription. The developers are to greedy. You can not even have a screenshot in the notification unless you pay for a subscription plan. Plus they don’t even have the option to send email notifications.

Would like more functionality. Good app. Could use improvement in a couple places.

Great App. Worked great first time I installed. Not hard to use. Would recommend.

So far so good. Only a few days in but so far so good to keep an eye on pup.

Needs Improvements. I’m using this app for my Tapo IP camera and smart plugs. Clean UI and menus are easy to use but, seems to be reliable in general but the app needs major improvements. Leave aside Siri Shortcuts support for voice commands, app doesn’t even have a widget for simple ON/OFF toggling. Please bring more features.

Nice UI & nice Function. The new UI is much better than 2.0 ver Now I can control all my Kasa and Tapo devices just in one App，it’ s good

Resolution is excellent!. Very clear and sharp picture

Tap to refresh. Camera is obviously working because I keep getting notifications about motion being detected, but I can’t actually watch the stream because the system just loads and then says “tap to refresh” without ever loading. I’ve had this camera for a week and I can’t even use it.

Tapo can only be used locally. It installed perfectly the first time but suddenly it says it can only be used locally so i cant monitor my tapo using mobile data phone. Ive done everything instructed to reset and delete still doesn’t work. Its annoying because its barely 3 mths old. Tapo c200

Easy to use. Easy to use app and set up devices.

OMG I love this app it helps so much. This helps me check on some stuff without me being they’re I give this a good review

5 + 1 = 6 ⭐️✨⭐️ Apps. Easy and Best CCTV Apps, user friendly and simple to understand how to set up.

Love it. Best Camera so far…locate it in sons room and i love it. Notifies me about everything great picture quality…

Times out every 5 min as baby monitor. What is this crap? Every 5 minutes it pauses and asks if you want to keep watching because you didn’t “make an operation.” I am using it as a baby monitor at night….so of course I did not make an operation but now my baby is crying and i didn’t hear it. THANKS CRAPO.

Not bad. GUI could use some improvements but overall not bad.

Useless from outside home. The app and the device have become unstable with every update. Now it unusable to the point that not even a simple login to the tapo app works. If you try to see any cameras you get slapped in the face with the message “Network unstable”. Unusable. Very disappointed

Motion detection could be better. Great app. The motion detection activity zones can only be square, would be nice if we could pinch the corner of the activity zone and set it as any shape.

Unable to login to old or newly created account. Tried resetting my password, not able to login. Created new account and same thing. Steer clear of these devices. No way to create a support ticket to report this problem. Cameras are now paper weights and useless until vendor fixes problem.

Tapo cam. I use this as my baby monitor & it works amazing. I Can zoom in & out , also Can speak thru the camera great price & wonderful cam
