I can say quite easily about this camera: anyone looking for something without hassle and "extra costs" would find it very useful. The installation is excellent; you don't have to be a techie. I control everything via the Tapo app, which is very intuitive on my smartphone. I opted for the local storage option on a 128GB card, which works perfectly. Subject detection and tracking are very smooth, and the camera picks up movement immediately. The night vision function provides a very clear black-and-white image as soon as the lights go out. This device has given me considerable peace of mind because it's simply so easy to use and continues to work well.

I really like this product because the quality is excellent, especially considering the price, and it does what it's supposed to.
You don't have to sign up for complicated subscriptions, and the installation is very quick.
I find the app very clear and user-friendly, and it's in Dutch.
I also have a Tapo doorbell camera, so I can now see what's happening at the front and back of my house at a glance.
The image quality is excellent, and if anything happens, the footage is actually useful.
It's great that you don't have to choose between a moving and stationary camera, so you're sure you won't miss anything.
You can configure everything in the app to your liking. I don't like too many notifications, and this works perfectly.
The night vision is also very good and stays clear, without being grainy or anything like that.

I bought this camera for my driveway. The ease of installation was a relief; no hassle with running cables to a recorder, just via Wi-Fi and the Tapo app. The subject detection and tracking feature provides a sense of security; it follows the mail carrier precisely all the way to the door. I use the local storage option, which works perfectly and is easy to review in the app. The night vision feature allows me to see what's happening even early in the morning.
