Ratings and Reviews
Technology moves along
I have a couple of old security cameras that have seen better days, so I decided to try the newest TP-Link one. Much easier to set up than the old ones, and this control app is a definite improvement. Minor issues were that the shortcut was initially confusing (it isn’t an “Apple Shortcut” but is a stand-alone widget), and that using it to set/clear privacy mode only shows a *tiny* dot to indicate success (needs to be bigger and more visible). But these aren’t deal-breakers. The cloud video storage is good value, but you don’t have to use it. A bonus is that the notification of any motion will go to your Apple watch if you have one. Highly recommended.
!!Beware: Permanent Rights Granted to TP-Link for Your Content
If you're considering using TP-Link’s camera systems in your home, be very cautious about what you record. Their Terms of Use, specifically under the section “User Content,” grant TP-Link a royalty-free, perpetual, and worldwide license to use, distribute, modify, and exploit any content captured by their cameras. This isn’t just about uploading content to their platforms—it affects anything recorded with their devices. Once you, your family, and visitors are recorded through TP-Link cameras, these terms allow TP-Link to use that footage indefinitely, in any way they choose, without compensating you or needing further consent. This clause poses a significant privacy risk, so please consider this seriously when deciding to place TP-Link cameras in private spaces. Read the terms carefully (located under ‘User Content’ in their Terms of Use) and protect your family’s privacy. Make informed decisions about the security products you install in your home. I seriously regret not knowing these terms. I can think of no valid reason why a company should retain such extensive rights to personal and sensitive data, without an option to delete that data.
Doesn’t truly bridge gap between KASA and TAPO Devices
I received a message from TP-Link about the new TAPO app ability to manage my KASA devices. The app does recognize the KASA devices in general, but falls short in key areas. It doesn’t allow automation triggers by the KASA devices like the KASA app does. Although it sees the KASA device and gives you manual control, it won’t let you select said device as a trigger. It also has a flaw in that it sees a KASA wireless camera hub at the device level with an indication of the number of connected cameras, when you drill down to the next level it says there are zero connected cameras. The cameras can be viewed at the device list, but the hub detail info says there are none connected. Indoor KASA wifi cameras are not recognized at all and can’t be added to TAPO app. True integration is still lacking, so the ability to leave the KASA app behind for the TAPO app doesn’t exist yet at the vers. 3.5 level.
