Activating and installing the camera is very quick. The app guides the process perfectly. If you want to neatly conceal the entire cable, you'll need a 2-centimeter hole, especially for the Ethernet connector. Since I use the camera wirelessly, I don't need that connector, but cutting it off didn't seem like a good idea. The camera is mounted outside about 8 meters from my nearest TP-Link Deco M4, and that works perfectly. Person tracking is a nice option (which can also be disabled). The image quality is excellent, even in the dark (especially with the spotlights). I haven't tried many of the options yet. With my C420, I often missed things (it needs to wake up to save battery), but I haven't noticed that with this C560WS. In that respect, a mains-powered camera is my preference. So far, I've only received one notification of a person in the garden, even though there was absolutely nothing to see. I can't comment on long-term reliability yet, but so far I'm very satisfied with this purchase.

I bought this camera to better monitor our backyard and driveway, as this is an area where I also want good visibility at night. The image quality is absolutely fantastic. During the day, everything is sharp, and in the evening, the built-in lights provide bright color images, which is a real plus compared to standard black-and-white night vision.
Setup via the Tapo app was quick and hassle-free. Everything is self-explanatory, and pairing is a breeze. Even with subpar Wi-Fi, the camera works consistently. I found that a pleasant surprise.
I really appreciate the configuration options. You can define motion zones, filter notifications by people or animals, and even set known faces. This ensures you only receive notifications that are truly relevant.
So far, the camera has worked flawlessly and reliably. The only drawback is the installation. Because the cable is fixed, you have to drill a large hole. That's unnecessarily inconvenient, at least if you want to bring the cable indoors rather than hanging it outside. Otherwise, I'm very satisfied.
