So I’m only giving it a 4 star bc the talking feature isn’t clear and doesn’t work properly. …BUT OVERALL!!! I love the camera and what it does the video is clear and the motion sensor is VERY on point. The price was affordable and the quality is great. I used a command strip to place mine and that was very great as well for my place which is an apartment and I don’t want to mount it and even still the camera is very secure thanks to the way the camera stand comes as well.

Authentic and well packed. Thanks

Only issue some times while reviewing the recording in app you find few seconds of interrupted like cutter off recording ! Not much of deal for me as I use it internally so I know what it missed !

Recently installed the 4-camera pack.
It detects every bit of movement and is sensitive to sound – which is good as we are using it for a senior in our family.
If they move, it notifies us.
If they moan, it picks it up as a Baby Cry notification.
Like that we can view all 4 cameras on one screen.
As tiny as the cameras are, they offer some good qualities.
Able to perch them up high or low and rotate them with ease.
The daylight images are quite clear and capture a wide viewing area.
The nighttime is ok. It could be clearer but you are able to detect someone moving.
There is a slight delay when talking via the Talk option. You may also use the Call option which is a bit more clearer and has less lag.
The volume on the speaker is not very loud. They have to be a bit close to the speaker in order to hear you. The alternative is to talk slow and quite loud.
The alarm is good with the flashing light and sound. But, if someone is in another area of the house and if they have their door closed, they may not be able to hear it. With having the 4-pack, you may try to sound all of the alarms at the same time if you want to try to get someone’s attention who may not be nearby (haven’t tested this yet).
We did not sign up for the storage option.
May consider using the micro cards, if storage is something we want in future.
The app does allow you to take pictures and record video as you view, which you may save to your smartphone.
Overall, it is a good investment for our need (offsite eyes on our loved one) with the added home security bonus.

The photo you see is from the Tapo app, taken at night, during a fairly heavy snowstorm in Quebec Canada ey! The camera is setup in the bedroom, so picture is seen through a window, not bad ey! I also own an Ezviz indoor camera(CN6060 I believe) setup through a window also, but the light on the camera reflects in the window so I can’t see anything at night.
Tapo says night vision extends to 30 ft, but as you can see, houses on the other side of the street are at least 75 feet away and you can still see them, although I am sure streetlights help a lot. Night detection is 30 feet, maybe more. I set up the camera to detect persons only, and it works fine as long as persons step on my property. It does detect some persons on the street, if they walk on my side of the street.
Audio is decent too, have not really used it, but did hear my wife that was standing at least 15 feet away from the camera. She made me turn audio off, camera is in the bedroom after all! :- I
Setup is very easy, done in 10-15 minutes on both iPad and iPhone. This thing is so light, I taped it to the top of the window, upside down, adjusted the angle, reversed the picture in the app and I was done.
You can view the camera feed on a computer through VLC media player (VideoLan, it’s free to download). You need to setup a separate, free Tapo account account for this, I have read somewhere in the Tapo help that you can do everything with one account, but it did not work for me. Doc should be made clearer about this. After 3 days, the feed does not show on VLC anymore (still works fine on iPhone and iPad), but I will reboot eventually and it will probably work again. I need to input username and password in VLC everytime I want to see the feed, maybe I will dive into the VLC help and automate this.
I have bought a micro SD card (128Gb max for this model) and will install it soon. Doc says that if you put in a card, the feed to external device (VLC in this case) will not work. I hope this is not the case, will see.
Best part is that no membership is required. You get a 30-day free trial, but external feed will not work with membership or free trial, so I cancelled it before trying it out, so I can`t comment on membership.
There is a 2K and maybe even 4K model of this camera, but since I own over 20 smart devices, my Wifi is not as fast as it used to be, Full HD is enough for now.
This is a great camera, even more so if you’re new to smart devices. I will probably buy a few more soon, especially if it stays or goes on sale again. ”Alexa, show me camera two”!
Update Jan 23rd: Viewing the camera stream through VLC Media player stopped working after 2-3 days, VLC cannot connect to the camera. I setup Agent DVR free software instead and it works OK, but the picture is a bit grainy, but it does record detected persons automatically.
Update Jan 28 2024: I have seen a review that says you have to pay the subscription fee for motion detection to work, this is not true. Motion detection (I set it to person detection only) works fine, I get a notification on my phone (see photo in french cause my iPhone is set to french) when a person is detected.

Muy buena cámara, tiene buenos funcionamientos, tienes buena calidad en imagen, la visión nocturna es buena. Cuando configuras la detección de movimiento, solo grava la detección, por periodos de segundos. tiene una alarma en caso que veas algo sospechoso y quieras espantar a los intrusos. Se las recomiendo. el único detalle es que no tiene la opción de girar, pero tiene buen Angulo.

Primera vez que compró cámaras de seguridad. Este modelo (C 100) y esta marca (TAPO) me pareció muy bueno, no conozco otras, por lo bien que se ve la imagen y sus funciones:
un zoom muy bueno; audio bidireccional puedo hablar con alguien cerca de la cámara en mi casa estando yo fuera y lejos; me envía notificaciones de movimiento que puedo configurar a mi gusto o desactivar; la app TAPO es gratis y guarda el red de internet y la clave de modo que no hay que buscarla ni escribir la clave cuando añadimos una nueva cámara; la configuración de las cámaras es muy sencilla; la app permite la opción de guardar en la nube lo que la cámara graba o se puede grabar en micro SD (hasta 128 gb) en la cámara; la configuración de una nueva cámara es muy rápida (6 minutos me llevó y 2 minutos es de la actualización del firmware y se hace sola) gracias a que la app guarda los datos de la red; trae tornillos y un papel marcado donde se deben hacer los hoyos para colocarla; una vez colocada en la pared se puede dirigir hacia donde uno quiere.
Es una cámara fija, no sigue el movimiento, pero eso era lo que yo quería. Algo sencillo y económico que me permitiera ver en tiempo real lo que pasa en el interior de mi casa.
Sugerencias/Tips:
1.- Primero configuren cada cámara y luego las colocan. El celular debe estar cerca de la cámara durante la configuración. Pueden usar el mismo cable a toma corriente para todas las cámaras durante la configuración de cada una.
2.- Desconecten la(s) cámara(s) que ya configuraron cuando configuren una nueva.
En resumen me parece que el beneficio que se obtiene supera el precio que se paga!
Ahora falta conocer su funcionamiento a largo plazo…

Works pretty good. Sometimes there’s a connection issue but seems to reconnect after a few minutes

Excellent product for the price as they were less than $20 each. Super easy to setup and connect. All you need is a power drill with a 1/16 drill bit to mount to the wall and a Phillips head screwdriver. No tape, no measuring and no hassle. Comes with a drill guide card so you know exactly where to drill. Also comes with a power cord, instruction sheet, mounting screws and regular screws. All you do after mounting is plug in the power cord, download the app, connect to your WiFi, insert an SD card, format the card from the app and you can see every room where you’ve installed and connected a camera right from your phone. The picture quality is very clear but distance can be a factor after about 25 feet. Also has night vision and a record function so you can watch and record at the same time. Also has motion detection which is very effective and notifies you by phone every time there is a slight movement in the room. Picks up audio and it gives you the option to store to the cloud if you’re willing to pay for the subscription service. Otherwise you can use a micro SD card to store data. I’m very satisfied with my purchase and will buy again. I just hope that this specific model will not be discontinued anytime soon.
Additional info: The power cord is at least 10 feet long or more so you probably will not need an extension cord to mount the camera high up and close enough to an outlet. Just be mindful of where you choose to mount. This can be more challenging in homes with pets and small children.

This little camera is great. It includes mounting equipment, power cord, and the unit itself. It was super easy to set up and all the features work as promised. The image is clear and the two way works well. The alarm also works well. No complaints!

I had 2 cameras that had worked fine for 2 years, and suddenly stopped working. Since those models are no longer available, I had to look for another brand to replace them. This time I decided to get corded ones instead of rechargeable ones, as I’ve found the battery recharging to be too much of a chore for me.
I’m so glad I found these and couldn’t believe the low price for what I got.
I bought a set of 2 to start. They were very easy to set up using clear instructions. The mounting is equally easy. A template is provided to help space the drill holes properly for the screws.
Here are the positives about this camera:
– The picture quality is clear and sharp.
– There is an option to enlarge a video when viewing.
– The app provides alarms if there are captured videos of detected motion.
– Captured videos can be saved on your own SD card inserted in camera. No need to buy space on the cloud, but you can always get the cloud option later if you need it.
– It is low cost enough where you can buy several to place at various locations. It is easy adding additional cameras to the app.
I hope these will last a while. I will update my review should any problem develop, but for now I’m very happy with these cameras.

These cameras are phenomenal and for fantastic price. To record you have to insert a card. I do not need to record just be able to check in on my grand babies . I also adore how lightweight it is. It can be easily mounted. The quality is excellent with an amazing price I’m going to be telling several people about this

I have the installed in 4 places, they work great. Remember to remove the protective film off the lens before you install one in a hard to reach location. With the film on the night vision does not work well (haha), I left the film on by mistake on one, looked at it that night to see the coverage, looked like I was looking through an oil smeared glass.
Setup was a breeze with the TAPO Link IOS App. Great range on the Wi-Fi, I have one in a detached garage, 40+ft away from the router through several walls, with zero loss of signal or video quality.
