“I’ve been using the Tapo WiFi Indoor Camera for a few weeks now and I’m really impressed with the quality. The video is clear, even at night, and the motion detection works great. I also love being able to check the live feed from my phone when I’m away. Setup was simple and the app is user-friendly. Definitely a good value for the price!”

I was skeptical about the price of this camera considering the features claimed but I was thoroughly surprised by this product.I have a home assistant server with a motionEye integration which has multiple wireless cctv cameras attached. This allows me to store video locally and I do not need to use any external apps nor pay subscriptions. To be able to configure this setup I use the RTSP protocol which serves up a live video feed but not all manufacturers allow this. The reason for this is to force you into using their proprietary app to store video in the cloud. This is usually through a costly subscription and renders the camera almost useless (other than as a live camera feed) if you don’t pay monthly. I find this practice extremely wasteful as it’s a soft lock they’ve decided to add with no technical reason for the limitation and likely causes a lot of these devices to end up being thrown away. It is therefore a somewhat unique and most welcomed feature that Tapo have provided:Full RTSP video feed support as standard.The cameras plastic case itself feels a little cheap but it doesn’t matter too much as it will just be sitting on a shelf in the corner. The stand is adequate with a rotating ball joint. The power is unfortunately via a barrel connector which is by far the biggest let down of this product. This should be a USBC port and there are no excuses for it not being one. The power cord is not long enough and as it’s a proprietary power adaptor you can’t just swap out for a longer cable like you would with usb. A bit of a hit and a miss.To setup the camera you have to download the Tapo app on your phone and follow the process. Very simple to go through and it’ll be accessible in no time. From here you can enable RTSP in the config and the stream will be available via a specific address. It requires you to provide a username and password to connect to the stream for extra security. The app doesn’t state the name of the stream (rtsp://IP Address/stream1) so I had to look it up but it was quick to find. Once completed I was able to configure my server to work with the camera no problem.The cameras picture quality is better than my older cams and is very sharp. It is only 1080p but I’m impressed with the definition. For the price you cannot complain at all.As an alternative to the RTSP feed, Tapo do offer a cloud storage service. If you want to use it instead then it is available via their app which feels better than other manufacturers I’ve come across. I don’t know if it’s value for money but seeing as they allow RTSP it doesn’t hurt shouting out their cloud service.I am quite conscious about privacy with network cameras and I like to turn off all remote access. To do this, once you’ve confirmed everything is working you can then add a firewall rule on your networks router to allow all LAN access but block all internet requests by the camera except for port 123 which is used to update the cameras internal clock. If you ever need to change the config you can enable the camera briefly to make the changes via the app. As your using RTSP via your local network it doesn’t need to connect to the manufacturers server to continue working.In summary, a highly configurable versatile camera for a great price that offers a sharp picture. Due to Tapo allowing RTSP as standard I will be buying many of their products in the future. Highly recommended.

Bought to spy on my cats when I aren’t home, it’s great quality! Easy to set up and really easy to use with the app! Quality of the footage is great and I get sensory notifications if they walk past. I want it for every room and will be purchasing again! Great value for money. Night vision is also great quality. There is a slight lag when altering the view myself but it’s fine!

This camera is probably one of the best bargain purchases that I’ve ever made. I was looking for something to keep an eye on my vehicle when I’m away from home. It had to give a clear picture in the dark as well as day time.This camera is easy to set up. It is internal so I have attached it so that it’s pointing out of my window (if you have an internal light on in the room, doing it this way will create a reflection of the inside of the room, so this is worth bearing in mind).The camera was easy to set up with the Tapo app. It can be operated from this app, you can pan or zoom in and out. The night quality is good. I have used mine with a memory card and save anything that I need to my phone – again this is simple to do on the app. You can use several cameras and name them individually for different areas. We also have an indoor camera and can switch between the 2 easily. I have my camera set up to automatically work when any movement is detected and can go back and view this if I needed to. Live view can be seen at any time. You can also use a privacy mode to pause recording.This camera is available at such a low price that you would expect it to be poor but it isn’t. It’s priced so much lower than other cameras that I’ve used that are nowhere near as good as this one. If you’re looking for a camera that has decent quality pictures and all the basic features that you could want, then this is it. Highly recommended.

Gute Cam falsche Steckdosen Anschluss.
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 😂.
