Good value cameras with impressive performance for the price.
These are good value cameras, easy to install and setup with some great features. Have to option of using stand alone or with their cloud service. Have plenty of storageusing 512Gb micro SD. The image quality is good and so is the sound, does a great job of recording the bird song in the garden. Detection modes are ok but it occasionally misses things, possibly due to the size within the frame. Hopefully they will continue to improve with firmware updates.

Very good camera
I have been using this for over 3 months now and can give a decent review, it’s a good camera , clear , manoeuvring is easy , spots the duffer between cats birds dogs people, this camera is well worth it , it sits at the bottom of my garden and has me covered with alerts etc , I will buy another soon

Fantastic Value for Money—Feature-Packed and Easy to Set Up!
For the price, the Tapo Pan Tilt Camera is an incredible deal! It was quite easy to set up and I was able to get it up and running quickly. It is a great option for home security because it has several capabilities, such as customisable settings, motion detection, and pan and tilt control.One thing to keep in mind is that, depending on where you choose to put it, you might need an extension wire. Still, given everything else this camera offers, that's a minor inconvenience. No rivals even come close to offering as many features for the price. It's ideal for monitoring things, and you can truly customise it to meet your own needs because to the amount of customisation options.Extremely advisable

Very impressed!
Originally bought the C225 indoor camera to keep an eye on our dog and was very impressed with the whole Tapo system. I managed to get the C520WS when they were in the sale for £59.99 and brought 3 to cover the whole outside.I fitted them with SanDisk Ultra 512gb memory cards that should cover about 25 day when constantly recording 24/7 before overwriting themself.They all connected to my WiFi with no issues but I did lower the quality of 1 down to 720p as the signal was struggling at times when set to 2K.There are so many setting to cover all needs and did take a day to work out so you don’t get too many false alerts, blushes blowing in the wind and stuff like that. I did also find that rain at night sets off the motion sensor and the camera tries to track it and I turned off motion sensor but left on person, pets and vehicle tracking and it works perfect.There is a great feature where to can set different viewing angles and save them so rather then adjusting the camera each time you can just press a saved position and it will move to it quickly.The camera does a great job tracking and following people and vehicles when they come into shot and when they leave the camera will return to its original position before it started tracking.You might pay a little more for the Tapo C520WS but the whole system just works perfectly and with it being under the well known TP Link brand you know it’s going to be good quality.1 bit of advice I found out that was useful, when you watch a recording and you want to more forward or back slightly you can pinch the timeline with 2 fingers and expand it to make it bigger which makes it easier to make small movements back and forth.

Easy to install and use
I have 2 other Tapo cameras which are battery and WiFi so that’s the reason I purchased this one This is a very good camera for the area it covers with good functionality and very easy to install. I have an SD card and the record works well

Excellent home cctv camera …
I use Tapo cameras all around my property and find them easy to install and operate, and have them connected to my home broadband, so find that especially useful when away on holiday. I can check all of them through an internet connection even when I’m abroad. This particular camera is extremely functional with virtually no Lag when panning and tilt, the swivel response is also really quick. I’ve fitted an Amazon basic 64gb mini storage card to all mine which I find is plenty although you can increase the storage capacity even more if you need too… I got mine on a deal so was good value. After owning 6 Tapo cameras I find them easy to install and find connection to both my phone and iPad a doddle. However I appreciate when it’s new it may take a little working out, but just follow the instructions and you will be fine.
