2K+ Indoor/Outdoor Wired Security Camera - Person/Pet/Vehicle Detection, Baby Monitoring, Color Night Vision, IP66 Weather Resistant, Subscription-Free Local Storage or Optional Cloud, C121

For the price I think these cameras are pretty awesome. The expensive part was getting memory for each camera. I also bought extension cables for some depending on placement. They have a fair amount of features that are useful. You also have control over them. The company does offer a service similar to competitors cameras. I went with the memory on each instead. Memory is detected and sets up by itself. I have had mine for almost 2 years. Very few problems. The problem I did have was with the extension cable going out. I would recommend for DIY’ers.

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 little cameras with a generous length cord. Setup is easy if you're even slightly tech savvy. Detection is good; mine are set for people only otherwise they tag everything. I don't need tons of squirrel videos. Lol. Local storage is a huge bonus. I use a 512gb Team group micro SD in all 4 cameras. Videos are easily downloaded to your phone over wifi. I only use 1080p to conserve copacity and it's clear enough to make out faces across the street. Best part is that the cameras work as individual units and not as a central system. If one ever fails, it's easily replaced. Mine are all mounted indoors facing out windows so I don't use the IR night vision (the glass just reflects it back and you get nothing); Even so, night activity is thoroughly visible from just street lights. Magentic mounts are strong. Sticky mounts work well on glass.

Video quality is sharp day and night, and the color night vision with the spotlights is surprisingly useful without being obnoxious. Person/pet/vehicle detection has been accurate, and I get very few false alerts. Setup was quick, the Wi-Fi connection has been solid, and overall it’s been reliable. Storage: Using an SD card and it’s simple to set up and manage.

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.

Favorite outdoor camera yet. Clear view and colors even at night. Previously had a Wyze cam v2 and v3.... this particular one is so much better with better AI tracking in my opinion. Pros: Small, easy to install, no hidden fee, optional cloud function, USB C powered, and communicates well with other Tapo and Kasa products (lights, switches, etc) Cons: Not really good at looking through a window at night, mainly because of interior light reflections, need a power source outside because running a cable though my window all winter was a bad idea

Ich hatte schon mal die Kamara gekauft bin sehr zufrieden. Bei diesem Kauf habe leider eine englisch Adapter Version bekommen. Denn kann ich leider nicht benutzen für die deutschen Steckdosen 😂.

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

Very nice one with a very good resolution

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.
