    Great little camera. Generally take 45 seconds to connect for first time. The application is easy to use. I put the camera rear to window and the image is great. Night vision is very clear. Detection work great with instant notification. I loved this camera.

    PSA: IF YOU ARE USING THE TP-LINK KASA APP, THIS WILL NOT BE COMPATIBLE AND YOU NEED TO DOWNLOAD THE TP-LINK TAPO APP!!! Yes, it is stupid. Both are TP-LINK products but, because they are considered different product lines, they run on their own apps. I have smart outlet plugs that run on the KASA app and thought this C100 will run on it as well because it’s by TP-LINK…NOPE. Now I have 2 TP-LINK apps on my phone. Annoying.

    The C100 is decent for the price, small and very easy to setup. The motion detection is VERY sensitive even at the lowest setting. I got notified from a shadow of a leaf fluttering in the wind that was in its field of view. I ended up turning off notifications because it got too much. The picture quality in HQ is ok. I can identify vehicles from 20ish ft away but, don’t expect to read license plates. Night vision is very bright.

    You do get what you pay for.

    UPDATED: At first i gave a good review because it seemed to have worked properly. It also gets really warm. It keeps going off line I reset it lots And put it on automatic reboot daily and it still goes offline I think it worked only couple of times properly. Now if your at home connected to wifi then it has no issues whatsoever but once your away from home or disconnected from wifi. Within a couple of hours it starts to act up and you can’t get back online until you get home and are back on wifi. Then it hooks up as it should. Pain in the rear. So now I will be returning. I also did the update that says it fixes this problem but nope doesn’t work still. Don’t waste your $ on it. Going to order another brand.

    Tengo varias camaras instaladas dentro de la casa y buscaba una para instalarla en la habitacion que funciona como salon de clases de mi hijo y es increible, la nitidez de la imagen es muy buena, el sonido bidireccional es muy claro, fue muy facil de instalar, tiene un boton de alarma que honestamente me ayuda a indicarle a mi hijo cuando ha terminado el receso que les da la maestra, cabe mencionar que yo veo desde mi trabajo a mi hijo a traves de la camara y puedo escuchar tambien las clases, de todas las que tengo actualmente es la mejor y estoy por pedir una mas. Super recomendada!!

    Normalmente compraba las camaras AKASO, pero me sorprendio la calidad de estas.

    Escribo esta nota por si alguno presentó problemas o dificultades de instalación, a mi me pasó, compre dos camaras la primera se instaló sin problemas siguendo las indicaciones de la aplicación TAPO TP LINK, pero al querer instalar la segunda se instalaba pero solo en la red wifi de la camara o al desinstalarla ya no se podía instalar de nuevo.
    Mis reocmendaciones:
    1. no actualizar el firmware (Al menos no antes de instalar)
    2. reinicia la camara con el boton y/o sal de la aplicación de tu telefono y vuelve a entrar. E instala.
    3. Asegurrate que una vez que haya detectado el wifi propio de la camara, la aplicación busque el wifi de tu casa.
    4. cuando vayas a instalar una nueva camara DESCONECTA TODAS LAS DEMAS CAMARAS, asi solo detectará la camara que vas a instalar.

    Espero que te haya servido yo perdí como dos horas hasta que dicon la solución. Pero en lo general el proceso de instaación es muy sencillo.

    I’ve had this product for a few months now, one in the nursery and one in the basement/play room. I have grown more and more frustrated and irritated by this product because it doesn’t always work. Whenever I get a notification from the nursery I open it to see if baby is awake, or if he’s still asleep, but the camera doesn’t load. I have to close the app and reopen it 1000 times for it work, and sometimes it doesn’t even open.
    I really want to return the product, but with the pandemic, I haven’t been leaving the house, so it’s very hard to do a product return right now.
    In conclusion, it is not 100% reliable, and it’s always a coin toss of its going to work or not.

    Picture quality is pretty great considering the price I paid. I’d say this was a steal!
    Things to keep in kind: mMotion detection is quite sensitive at times. Moths have set it off.
    Love the fact that I can clearly see who is at the door AND have a convo via the built in intercom. Great playback but you need to add your own micro SD card.

    It’s been great so far.

    The best feature about this TP Tapo cam is the night vision: it is extraordinary. Very bright. It surpasses anything on the market in my opinion. However, the following did not work for me:
    1. 10 foot cord just does not work. It requires an extension cord to extend. No ability to daisy chain.
    2. Separate Tapo app. I have the TP Kasa app for my smart switches and plugs. Should be using the same app.
    3. Scheduling of recoding times in the app is VERY difficult. Instead of actually indicating time and day, you need to run your finger through the pad, which is very difficult and tedious and inaccurate. Only times on the hour are permitted. No minutes.
    4. No “person” detection. Just motion.
    5. Alarm sound due to motion is not at all loud. Not useful.
    6. There seems to be a lag in motion detection and what is recorded…almost a minute. Last night was windy and my cam pointed out the window. The bushes we’re constantly moving and the motion clips on my SD card were about a minute apart. This problematic if motion continues or separate motion appears less than a minute apart.

    Para el precio buena calidad. Se controlan muy fácilmente con la App de Tapo y el sistema de sensor y alarma es muy bueno. Funcionan bien en la obscuridad.
    Si le pones tarjeta es muy sencillo revisar las grabaciones y exportarlos a tu dispositivo si es necesario.
    Pienso adquirir más para cubrir otras zonas.

    La relación costo/beneficio es muy buena. Aunque es para interiores la puse en exterior en donde no le da lluvia directa. Se configura facilmente con Alexa. Le puse tarjeta de memoria ADATA 128 GB y da 2 semanas de grabación continua en HD. Las grabaciones se pueden consultar facilmente desde la aplicación del celular. Si se va la luz, al regresar se conecta automáticamente a la red. Cero quejas.

    There are couple flaws when using it as a security camera. The idea is great that you don’t have to pay for subscription as some other cameras. However, the motion sensor is way too sensitive in bright environment and too insensitive in the dark. When under the light, just switching off the light can trigger notifications even after I set to the lowest sensitivity. Therefore, you can expect to get many many notifications during day time.

    The camera supposed to make sound to scare off intruders. However when I tested it at night (dark environment), the alert didn’t work even with highest sensitivity, kind of defeating the purpose. Unless you have the light on for the entire night which some people do.

    If you were getting this just to see who is knocking on your door (delivery) or to see if your baby is safe, the camera works perfectly fine day and night.

    Esta es una cámara súper económica pero muy completa para su precio. Viene todo incluido en el paquete, incluso los tonillitos, taquetes y guía para las marcas de instalación en la pared. La cámara es fija, así que tienes que elegir bien su posición y el lugar que quieres vigilar. Instalarla y conectarla a tu celular es de lo más fácil, tardas como 10 minutos en total y de inmediato puedes visualizarla en el teléfono, la aplicación te permite configurar todas sus funciones. Tiene una excelente calidad de imagen y detección de movimiento.

    This camera is one of the worst I have encountered. It only supports Android or iOS; but NO Windows software. I understand many people use their cell phones / tablets to do things; however, there are still a lot of people who would like to do things on the desktop / servers.

    NOT recommended.
