TapoSmart Security Camera, Baby Monitor, 360 degree rotational views, No Hub Required, Works with Alexa(Echo Spot/Show), Google Home, 1080p, 2-Way Audio with Night Vision(KC115)

The media could not be loaded. Honestly, this kit is class. I use mine in my tortoise table to check in on my tortoise and see what he’s eaten and where he’s been etc.The first misconception is that people say the live view is slow to connect. This is untrue, and is solely based on the many other complexities within a home network - speed, router, distance to junction box. Remember this is upload speeds, not download speed. The video is being uploaded through your router, not downloaded. Hopefully my video makes that clear for other people who are interested.The second is the weight for mounting. I’ve mounted mine using a paperclip and wire, with the camera facing down. This has been solid and the weight hasn’t made a difference. In fact it feels quite considering it’s a rotating camera!The camera takes very little time to install and setup, it works great with the app and with other Kasa products. Mine is hanging upside down and the image in the app was flipped in the settings menu. The zone feature is fantastic to snap the camera in its different angles of view. I try to cover the important places or as many angles to make navigation quick and easy. However, the joystick is also very usable and makes navigation slower but still smooth and easy.I can’t fault this product, but I haven’t tried the night vision at this time as it isn’t a feature that I use, so bear this in mind. This is great for so many use cases, I can’t recommend it enough :)

Brilliant bit of tech, I use it in my bay window as we've been harassed by a neighbor a few times.It comes with a great, easy to use setup kit and looks very nice once installed.I'd does of course need a subscription in order to save and view the clips you record, but it's not very expensive and it's to be expected with smart devices these days.I do recommend ensuring that you have a good quality, high speed broadband connection before setting up cameras though, as it will be very laggy and miss movement otherwise. Also in order to use Alexa with it, you must have an Alexa Show.All in all, I love it and it gives me peace of mind when I leave my wife and kids at home to go to work.

I am happy with the camera. It works well where I have it at the front of the house, although there is about a 4 second delay when you first load the app, but as this is also common with the more expensive brands I do not consider this to be a big problem.The night vision would be awful, but we are not far from the road and have streetlight nearby, so it works for us. I would suggest putting up a PIR light as well if you don't have lighting near your home. The picture in daylight is pretty good.The sound is acceptable. It has a 2 way mic, so I use it instead of an intercom or ring doorbell to communicate with those outside. If you were to mount it high up you probably would find the speaker not loud enough, but as I'm not actually using it as a security camera, I have mine mounted at door height, and even with a busy road nearby, I do not find the sound to be much of an issue, although it does pick up wind snd traffic.You can also activate a siren if you want someone to go away, but you can disable this if you want to.The camera is supplied with about a 2metre power lead, with a usb connection at the end, and a main plug is supplied. This could be a problem if you want to feed the power cable through a wall as a bigger hole would have to be made to accommodate the USB plug. However, we have fed ours between the front door and the frame, and this seems to work fine.It connected easily with my echo 5 show and the app (which I already use for plugs) is basic but functional.I think for the price, this was a good buy.

Camera is rather easy to setup via mobile app.Benefits: good quality image, records on SD (limited to 128GB MAX), very good motion detection by movment or person detection.Cons: fiddly to setup, once connected to WiFi instantly updates itself - slow process, might take some time, No computer app to view on big screen, no Onvif or RTSP.Conclusion: for simple setup - perfect camera, For more advances users might be limited in functionality.

Night vision is as good as I could wish for and motion detection is very good whilst picture quality is excellent . I bought two of these in Which mags reviews and my family and I are extremely happy with the camera . Excellent value , I fully recommend it to you.

Ne ho montate parecchie a casa e non mi hanno dato mai nessun problema. La qualità dell'immagine è molto buona, orientamento a 360° a zoom. Con l'app Kasa, la gestione poi è molto versatile.

Hallo, leider nicht für deutsches Stromnetz da kein deutsches Netzteil dabei!

Very slow on loading saved/ live stream video. Live and stream video are distorted simetime. Motion detecion is not working as expected. Overally experiments are not great.

Sometimes hard to see picture form wi-fi. Still not sure if camera or wi-fi
