TP-Link Tapo 4+

Amazing!!!!

I bought this camera to watch my kittens while
My husband and I are at work. We have two dogs who have never been around such small kittens so we just wanted to keep a watchful eye on the kitty’s. We put them in our empty guest room and use this camera to peek in. One of the kittens does not use the litter box properly every time and one of them doesn’t get a lot of food bc he is pushed out of the way. This camera has allowed us to have such peace of mind when leaving our newly adopted babies. The quality is great and even the night vision is amazing!! I love the amount of features the camera offers and is so nice to be able to move the camera around to see the entire bedroom! Something our others camera do not have! Definitely will be buying a couple more of these for our house soon!!! If you’re debating on buying it, just buy it. You will NOT be dissatisfied!! Amazing quality and provides such peace of mind 🐈‍⬛🫶🏻

Too many notifications

The app itself is pretty good. I originally used Kasa when we only had the Kasa cameras, but switched to this app since we purchased Tapo cameras for the rest of our home and couldn’t add them to the Kasa app. Kasa app was far better when it came to notifications. I have the option to only receive notifications once every 5 minutes when movement/person/sound is detected and the sensitivity turned all the way down to 1. This DOES NOT WORK AT ALL! I can get notifications as close as 11 seconds apart for the same camera/incident. It’s SO ANNOYING! This HAS to be addressed because it’s a major problem. It has me considering switching all my cameras, yet again, because I just can’t deal with all the notifications. I have tried finding somewhere to submit feedback about this issue, but can’t find the option anywhere. I’ve also tried to send an email about it, but the contact via email button takes you to a link that only provides product support. This isn’t a product issue, it’s an app issue, but there’s no option for app. You have to put in the model number for the product that’s having the problem. The search feature in support does tell you how to limit these notifications, but again, what is suggested there are the same settings that I already currently have and it just doesn’t work.

Awesome security camera!

I love this camera!!
1) It has the best clarity of any cameras I’ve used before, and this is my fourth brand!
2) Most of the features come free including “AI”, which is a big deal!
3) This camera has 2k or 1080.
4) You can use a microSD card with/without continuous loop feed, or choose a paid subscription.
5) It allows you to choose which things to be alerted of such as people, animals, vehicles, etc.
6) This camera not only has several choices of alarms to choose from, but it also flashes 2 very bright led lights at the culprit! Or, you can disarm the alarm, yet still receive notifications on your cell phone, which easily plays back, right from your cell’s Home Screen.
7) You can connect it to your Alexa or Google.
8) Everything you need for this camera is included in the boxes; I bought 2. They even include several installation options: screws or magnetic.
9) This camera is multi-directional.
10) It has a 2-way mic system.
11) Lastly, this camera is reasonably priced, especially for all of the features it has to offer, and I still haven’t named them all.
I highly recommend this camera!
