TP-Link Tapo for Positive User Reviews

ConfusionI am new to the smart home adventure, so my only goal was to get my smart appliances working together. I took the plunge and brought a T-P link plug, this came with the Kasa app. In my hast to get another device, because the first one was so simple. I did not realise that Tapo, was a separate app and system from T-P link. This is my only gripe. I can log in with my Kasa app but I need a separate app to control the bulb. Not cool. I have begun to notice this and this appeared to cause people confusion. Please, if the Tapo app is a better app then delete the Kasa and port everyone over..Version: 2.2.35

Great camerasI wanted something for inside my detached garages. These cameras work great and are a good value. Easy to install. Great picture. App is easy and fast. Only thing that kept me from giving five stars is they don’t provide a video clip when motion is detected to my Alexa Show like Ring does but does give a verbal notice..Version: 2.11.25

Please add seconds to the schedule/timer!A great app and great, easy to use products. I was a little disappointed, though, as I had bought a TP100 smartplug after being told you could set it on a timer to the exact second, which is what I need (minutes aren’t specific enough for my needs). Unfortunately it turns out that this functionality isn’t included after all – it can only be set to hours and minutes. However, this is a limitation of the app rather than the plug, so it should be fairly straightforward to add to the app – so please add it in! In the meantime, I have repurposed the plug for a living room light, which isn’t what I bought it for, but hope to see this feature added soon in which case I’ll buy another one for its original purpose. It’s an excellent plug – small, inexpensive and simple to use, as is the app, but just disappointed it didn’t actually meet my needs over something that’s relatively simple..Version: 2.4.25

Good CamI like it even no connection to PC.Version: 3.0.510

Friendly user apps.5 Star for this apps. It’s worth investing on these Tapo camera by TP Link. I can monitor my house even though I’m out of the country..Version: 2.8.8

P100 remote sockets work well and easy to set upI was pleased with the remote sockets so thought I might add a security camera (320WS) only to discover that for full functionality there is a pay-wall. I immediately steer clear of any app sucking me into a pay-for subscription service. One upfront payment if necessary is fair enough but no more. Sorry Tapo, you’ve lost a sale..Version: 2.8.9

GREAT!!!!I didn’t want to spend a lot of money on cameras to keep a eye on things at home and keep a eye on my dogs! I got a set of two cameras for a very good price and it was super easy to set up!! The motion detection is amazing it alerts me when there is a person or motion! I am able to talk to my dogs from 20 miles away!! I love the camera set up! It’s amazing and very affordable!! Thank you for making it possible for me without having to spends hundreds of dollars!!!.Version: 2.17.1

TapoAmazing.Version: 3.1.601

A cam system that worksLiterally less than 1minute tk set up and have running, unlike other brands I have tried and are flakey if they work at all. Only 4 days in but have had 100% coverage with no problems. Alarm works as it should, detecting either people, cars or both with not any false alarms yet. The cat walked across screen without tripping it while set to person detect, which then promptly notified me when a person walked into view moments later. I’m running a Tapo C110 and Tapo C320WS, and am having the same experience with both cams. I will be buying more soon..Version: 2.17.1

Helped the humans rest!Wow are my husband and I glad we bought this. We have a new puppy and couldn’t distinguish her calls from needing a wee to being needy. Or be confident she wasn’t destroying the living room. This little camera was so easy to setup and has given us a lot of peace of mind. Not going to knock it down on stars but it would be nice if it came with a couple of different attachment options not just screws. Sticky tabs or clips maybe? It has a great range of motion so other options for securing it would be ideal. Would still highly recommend..Version: 2.3.33

Easy to setup and reviewThe product has really good build quality. The setup was really easy and was completed within few minutes. Didn’t face any issue. Overall good experience and satisfied. Worth a buy..Version: 2.4.25

Great products and appVery easy set up and works a treat. First one was to use on my espresso coffee machine so I can now ask Alexa to turn Silvia on and when I go down to the kitchen the machine is all warmed and ready to go. Have since bought another 5! One feature I’d like to see is how to re-arrange favourites in the App... it once said you can press and hold then drag them around, but that doesn’t seem to work..Version: 2.2.28

PhenomenalThis little camera is fantastic. HD quality pictures, easy set up, excellent app. Brilliant! I liked it so much I bought 3. One gripe I have now is that it regularly requires me to “tap to refresh” otherwise the picture freezes. My routine now is: 1/ open app 2/ wait for it to initialise and make contact with the cameras 3/ tap to view one of the cameras and then select multi view to pick up the others 4/ tap to refresh each camera as they freeze 5/ shut down and restart the app 6/ proceed with 2 and 3 above and it is then usually successful in showing live pictures from each camera without freezing. Can you please get rid of the “tap to refresh” function and fix whatever is triggering it? This will save me from trashing them in frustration!.Version: 2.2.35

Good price and easy useGood price and easy use.Version: 3.1.502

Best app and brand everYou can have cameras lights and many more things i first got the rob lights and know I am getting a camera so you need to buy what they sell.Version: 3.1.602

Cannot even access the appBought the surveillance camera, downloaded the app, prompted me to create a login ID. Then got into a dead loop of incorrect login. Reset password doesn’t even work. It turns out creating new ID somehow does not work with Hotmail. Used another email and everything worked. The app itself is very well designed and intuitive to use. The best part is access to microSD recording. I will definitely buy more of this camera and recommend to my clients..Version: 3.0.510

Excellent CamerasGreat view from all cams.Version: 3.1.602

C100 can’t fault itBought this to deter someone letting their dog go right at my entrance. Apart from the fact it’s deterring them nicely so job done, it’s a great contraption and app. Crystal clear images. Great setting options. I have mine to record movements rather than constant. I don’t have my need for the talking facilities but if you are looking for simple cctv with recording and notification facilities, this is perfect. Bargain at the price it’s going for..Version: 2.14.110

Very convenient, useful and Ness are in today’s world.Since I install the cameras I have constantly been using them. They give me a sense of security because my house and my garage has been burgled in the past. Now that I have them it help me in many ways to make me and my household feel more safe..Version: 3.0.19

THE VERY BEST VPN SERVICEI’ve tried almost every top 10 VPN Services or Company’s and Express VPN has been the best in so many categories…. Password Generation, 94-97 Country’s of VPN’s to choose from, 24/7 Human Support, Coverage for 5 Devices $100 a Year, Simple Password Protection, Protected Internet Searching and I could keep going & going & going on about the BENEFITS but I will let you figure out EXPRESS VPN IS THE BEST!!!! Norton wanted $350 a year for the same service & Mcafee wanted $400 plus for the same service but only coverage of 3 devices..Version: 2.15.504(566)

Fantastic! (Please add Siri Shortcuts)The Tapo range is fantastic. I am currently replacing my old cameras with the C310 and it is going great. The features are fantastic, however my only comment to improve is to add Siri Shortcuts. I would like to activate Home Mode and Away Mode with Siri and I think Siri Shortcuts would be the best way to achieve this. Thanks!.Version: 2.3.29

Best home cameraVery good picture quality. Easy to install. Easy to use..Version: 2.4.69

I don’t like the update for iPadJust one little issue I’ve found on iPad 9. I had trouble changing the Brightness setting of my smart-bulb when making a Shortcut. The brightness slider has been changed to the bottom of the screen where you now have to scroll down to find it. I prefer the older design, as the brightness slider was right in front of you. That’s the only reason I took 1 star off my rating..Version: 3.0.509

Tapo C110A nice compact security camera. The downside is that it can be controlled from one account only. Would have liked the ability to be controlled by my wife’s account also, so that if she returns home before me, she is able to turn the camera off herself. This is not possible at the moment. Seems useless to be able to view from 2 phones but only controlled by one. Hopefully a future update will solve this. Would have purchased a different version if this had been made clear..Version: 2.11.24

Good upgrade to Kasa appWhen my new P300 power board wouldn’t connect with the Kasa app I thought I would have to use 2 apps to control my devices. However I signed in with the same credentials and all my older Kasa devices were moved to the new app and the addition of the new device was extremely easy. The Tapo interface is much nicer than the old one..Version: 3.0.510

Love this gadgetI just bought this little gem of a gadget. I needed something to spy on my little troublemaker chihuahua and it did not fail me!! The motion detection is awesome, as soon as Manny makes a move “Manny’s Nanny” sends me a motion detection alert on my phone, so I can see what he’s up to!! The range of motion is excellent and the clarity of the picture is top notch for such a small device. It allows you to zoom in for a better look. Definitely worth the money for the camera quality and tech abilities. But worth even more for the entertainment factor of watching my dog get into mischief!.Version: 2.10.6

Easy to use and making life easierA great product that is so easy to install on my phone as well as my Alexa. It feels like a luxury that’s affordable and it feels high tech without being difficult to use..Version: 2.4.62

Amazing Love It!I have connected a smart plug to my Led Lights and bedroom Lamp. I am now very happy because I can turn them on and off from my Google nest hub without having to get up and use the led remote and it is very hard to get to the switch of my lamp so this makes it much easier. Best thing ever.Version: 2.15.1(512)

Good appI like the app but the only thing i dont like about it is that you cant sent when the lights turn on in away mode.Version: 3.0.507

TapoIt is to let yous know that the camera is amazing I have had it for over a year now I think we got it for our dogs to keep and eye on them now we are using it for my cats and her kittens I just got a sd card yesterday and I put it in last night I still to figure out how it works but i will will get there in the end it is to ask as well how long does the recording last cause every time I come out of it goes off.Version: 2.4.69

Easy to use, nice featuresI have 2 TAPO C210 cameras and I’m using the app to make full use of their features. One of the settings I frequently use is the Detection Mode—either Home Mode or Away Mode. It would be nice to have an indication which mode is active by just looking at the Camera Preview page. Thanks..Version: 2.10.4

WilliamI was looking for a cctv for the kitchen so I can see the dog when I am out and about I am so happy with it I am looking in to some for the outside of my house and I have seen the ones you do for the outside of the house and I will be getting some well worth the money I payed for it I will be recommended to family and friends and the app is really good to so quick to download and setup.Version: 2.3.37

I wish all smart tech was this easy…I have a huge range of smart, connected tech in my home but none are as easy, simple, intuitive and robust as the Tapo smart switches and this app. The set up is easy, with simple steps that get your devices online. Looking for settings, changing names, updating firmware, etc is all intuitive and best of all, it’s a responsive app that does what it should without crashing, hanging, or leaving you wondering what the heck is happening. Lastly the gear is robust. I have rarely found devices to be ‘missing, or ‘offline’ when they shouldn’t be, and command responses are quick and simple to issue. Honestly, this is some of the best smart home tech you can get..Version: 3.1.502

Highly recommendedI purchased a few socket timers to use with my Electric heating. You use this app to turn on and off heating at any time from anywhere. You can also set up set timer for any day. Works really well and has saved me money on heating. You can purchase their cameras to use as well although I haven’t done so yet. Highly recommended..Version: 2.3.26

Caméra surveillanceRemplit tout Mes Besoins de Surveillance.Version: 3.1.307

How is this product £25? Bargain!My son’s baby monitor broke and with him being 2 years old we decided we wouldn’t fork out another £180 for a new one. I found Tapo on the Argos site and the reviews were too good to be true. We purchased it for £25, it was easy to set up (once WiFi was connected) and we have been amazed at the quality of the images it offers. App is user friendly and we are enjoying playbacks of our son when we aren’t in the room. Highly recommend.Version: 2.2.46

Definitely worth itI had a mobi camera in my daughters nursery. it was constantly lagging, you couldn’t move it from the app and the overall quality wasn’t the best. i ordered this one honestly expecting it to be worse. what i got was a bigger camera, a mounting kit, clearer picture, no lag and i can pan it while in the app. best part it was $40 cheaper than the mobi.Version: 2.15.110(536)

Works really well. Recommended.Very pleased. Works well straightaway, easy setup with no hassle, unlike some other manufacturers. I had a slight issue at the beginning with occasionally not connecting via the app but an update has sorted that. I’ve had a smart plug and the app for months now and I’m impressed. Just waiting for their smart bulbs to be released now, I’ll certainly be buying some of those. 👍.Version: 2.2.6

Cameras on the budgetBest on the budget quality cameras I could bought, the images are nice quality and theMotion sensor is way better than expected.Version: 3.1.602

Good quality.Small but so nice product..Version: 3.1.602

Great cameraI have had many cameras back when they costed over a grand. This does everything they do & connects quickly! Best deal available without sacrificing anything!.Version: 2.15.504(566)

Enlightening to be sure :-)Have only just started using it after getting 4 bulbs and so far I’m loving it, need to get the power plugs next I think but having the lights turn on at set times and set brightness has made life a lot simpler specially for when I’m away, nobody can tell if anyone is home or not..Version: 2.15.0(511)

AMAZING APPWe got the camera and the app in the same thing so we were set I have had this app for 11 years and same with the camera it’s also so easy to set up it took us like 30 minutes to set up the camera this was a really good app definitely recommend 👍.Version: 3.1.601

AwesomeReliable 🔥🔥🔥.Version: 3.0.509

Incredible app, but….The app is great I love it, but I think the only thing it lacks is a personalized or costume cruise, I like that the camera has the feature to cruise either vertically or horizontally, but my the place where I put my camera has some blind spots and when I put it on cruise mode it remains a very long time focusing on that blind area. So it would be ideal if you could mark the point form where it might cruise..Version: 2.4.17

Well Designed and Easy to NavigateI bought a tp link camera and this is the app you need to hook it up. It has a really simple and well thought out platform so it pretty much handles all the required basic tasks for property monitoring and takes just a few minutes to figure out. Would highly recommend👍👍.Version: 3.1.307

Love This DeviceBought a camera to find out what was happening overnight in our kitchen, as a feral cat was coming in and causing mayhem amongst our three cats. Tapo’s playback option and speed choice is absolutely brilliant. We also get great footage and still shots of our garden hedgehogs! Plus we have added peace of mind if an intruder (in human form!) appears on our property. Absolutely recommend..Version: 2.3.33

Great Quality and Fantastic PriceI recently purchased this camera and for £25 it’s been a great purchase. Can’t think of many others which offer such great value for money as well as quality camera with great features. Definitely recommend to anyone thinking about home security. I’ve since purchased two additional cameras for the side and rear of the property, not because i need them but because of the price and it provides my wife with piece of mind whilst I’m out working in the evening..Version: 2.2.46

Best Multiple power outlet smart board!Great product to use! Easy to set up, and works flawlessly! This solution is simple, easy to use, and highly effective..Version: 3.1.502

Have 4 now.Love these. Easy to get connected - easy to add to my app and best part is all the extra features. Wish the monthly was A Little less or A bigger discount for annual but I can now monitor my whole home and garage.Version: 2.15.1(512)

PLEASE ADD Landscape Mode. It would make the app perfect.I love the simplicity of TP Link products and the UI is amazing. I just wish this app worked in Landscape Mode since I set it up for my mom and she always uses her iPad with her keyboard. It’s the only app she has that doesn’t work in landscape and it’s kind of a turn off having to use it in portrait only. Please TP Link app Landscape mode!.Version: 2.4.12

Best purchaseI was insecure about this purchase because I have another brand of camera but believe me it was a great desicion getting this one! Works wonderfully, totally beyond my expectations.Version: 2.3.37

Way betterReplace an old Myannke similar device. What a difference! Way, way better view. Especially in low light. For the price, great upgrade..Version: 2.15.1(512)

Best of the bunch!Had a few teething problems with the App but once set up cam is simple, easy to use by day or night and with great resolution. Support is surprisingly good via live chat and email. Replies sent within 24 hours and genuine efforts made to assist! Don't leave home without one (or two!) 👍👍👍.Version: 2.4.34

This is how it worksTo pair to a third party device once the devise is on your WiFi click on the me icon then select third party services. Select the relevant icon ie Alexa, Siri etc and you can link to your voice activated devices. I do agree trying to set up the link doesn’t work from the instructions given. But the above does work, hope this helps x.Version: 2.4.57

Easy to operate for SeniorsAfter our beautiful dog passed away ( he would let us know if anyone was lurking about) we just needed a bit of security, This was recommended to us by a young guy in Good Guys. If you have some basic skills, this little gadget was fantastic. Anyone that walks need our home, it alert us..Version: 2.4.57

Super functional home surveillance!I have outdoor home surveillance and a Ring door bell camera. But this Tapo indoor home camera setup is so easy and functional! I bought a pair and placed 1 on the main floor and 1 in the basement. With motion detection and SD card storage, the auto pan tilt functionally covers everything I need. And at an affordable price! It was even a cinch pairing with my home network. I’m thinking of buying even more!.Version: 3.1.502

Great systemAfter the initial set up and working through the app, we have a great security system now, day and night picture quality is amazing.Version: 2.4.42

Solid Camera and softwareReally happy I bought this, I didn’t have high hopes based off the price but so far its gone way passed my expectations. Definitely going to get the year subscription after testing it for about a week now. Only wish the “private zone” you can set would stay on that area you put it on when the camera moves with tracking motion instead of just moving with the camera. Like if I covered a door way with the black square and the camera moves the square would stay on that area instead of moving with the field of view which causes it to cover areas I want visible..Version: 3.1.502

MaxineExcellent broadcast!.Version: 3.1.502

Excellent AppHave been using this app for a few days now and so far it’s been great..Version: 3.1.602

Easy to set up and useIt is very user friendly. Download application. Connect the camera to the plug. Then follow instructions in the application That simple.Version: 2.4.12

It’s alright but cost ontop is a down :/The app is good and camera but it’s pretty anoying and unsatisfactory that you have to pay for a subscription PER CAMERA or device per month to use it to the most useful way… Otherwise it’s kinda useless because you can review any footage, you can only see when you check the app so things can happen on the camera you wouldn’t know about… pretty sad about that.Version: 2.9.12

Top quality security cameraI am very happy with the performance and ease of use with this camera..Version: 3.1.304

TeatwosugarstaStarted of with one camera then two then three, I can check what’s happening at anytime and anywhere. The quality is good as is the night vision. I’d love another camera but I think the ones I’ve got cover what I need 😁 Cheaper than the others but with an sd card in you can record, playback and save to your mobile. Loving the app as it is easy to use and does what I need..Version: 2.4.62

Impressive for the priceCan’t find anything bad to say.Version: 3.1.502

Super easy set up and reliabilityWorks surprisingly easy right out of the box and have recommended them to friends and clients..Version: 2.2.29

C310 cameraThe cam is easy to setup but with both mine I had to repeat the setup a second time after a camera reset. Picture quality is excellent and the app easy to use and well featured. Be good to be able to change the detection alert sound, but this is apparently a limitation of the Apple OS. For the price you get a great product..Version: 2.3.37

Great product that could be slightly improvedWorks as well as a lot dearer products. About the only improvement I can see to make it much better would be to have the option of not alerting for the times you elect not to record..Version: 2.8.21

Effective securitySecond Tapo camera purchased recently and placed in the shed. Easy set up and good connectivity at a distance of 20 meters. With motion-activated notifications to my mobile I feel our secrity has been enhanced with these cameras.Version: 2.4.69

Belle qualité d’imageNous sommes très satisfait de notre achat et de l’application facile d’utilisation.Version: 3.1.502

First impressions…Have only had the camera for a couple of days - and it seems to be a good piece of kit. Will be using it when we go on holiday - piece of mind to be able to see the front door is secure, etc. I can also pan the camera to look outside and see how fast the grass is growing. May well invest in a second camera for other parts of the property. The app also works very well..Version: 2.9.11

Great app just wish device location was shown when setting up automationReally impressed with my Tapo plugs and this apps far. The plugs were very easy to setup and connect to the app and I’ve no complaints about reliability etc so far. The only improvement I would like to see would be the inclusion of the device location when setting up automation tasks. I have several lamps connected to tapo plugs, all are assigned to different rooms in the tapo app, however when picking which lamps to turn on at sunset all I see is a list of devices called lamp. On the app homescreen I can see their location so it would be really helpful if their location was also shown when picking them for automation..Version: 2.2.21

Great technology,I got my Tapo for Christmas from a daughter’s boyfriend. It’s in my Chicken coop house. At anytime, anywhere I am able to have a peek to see that we don’t have unwanted visitors, fox, weasel, skunk etc. looking for lunch. It works, in light and darkness completely fantastically. I also love the ability to move the camera around with my phone. Handy with the bonus of also being fun!.Version: 3.1.602

Very solid appBeen flawless working with a two camera system. I’ve no complaints. Well thought out and executed..Version: 2.10.4

1 week and it’s got great useability and responseI do not normally review apps, but I am using this, obviously, with one of the cameras, and I just got, and have had a security system in the past (LaView) which has/had HORRID APP and functionality and live streaming delay. The Tapo app is GREAT and is the only one so far with a *PRIVACY* mode which instantly disables recording and streaming. BEST THING is internet is NOT required to see your cameras or get playback from the camera SD card. All the cheap Chinese ones make you view your camera them through their server. This option has to be done on your router however; it’s not an option in the software or app..Version: 2.14.110

Tapo camThe best good item.Version: 3.1.305

Easy to set upHighly recommended great product 👌.Version: 2.16.105

Really good but need helpOk so I’ve had the light strip for a while now and it’s been great but recently there’s no place on the app where I can change the colour? And if I go into effects and try changing the colour there it changes it to a wayyyyy lighter version of the colour or a different colour?! Please fix this or tell me how to fix it! But overall great app.Version: 2.4.57

Easy to setup and accessCameras arrived quick. Where easy to setup and picture quality is great. The app is ok, with easy to use review using a sliding timeline. Enjoyed them enough to order another 3. Even better when I found the price had dropped. Winner!.Version: 2.2.16

Very good product to haveThe tapo sockets cameras are a very good product I started off with the Tapo Remote sockets I actually use them to control some of my items on the reef tank very reliable like the advanced features so when you have a power cut you can set them to default off or on love the advanced features hope Tapo bring out more advanced features I have recently got the cameras as well very good quality like the app.Version: 2.8.8

It just works!Needed a little extra piece of mind being gone for a few weeks. Simple to install, app is clean and easy, picture quality better than expected and an even better value compared to bigger names out there. I’ll be buyin a couple more units..Version: 2.8.9

Very good qualityI bought the camera about a week ago and it’s very impressive.Version: 3.1.305

Love this technologyCompared to what I had 10 years ago, this setup is fantastic. Easy, simple, and high quality. No complaints here..Version: 2.14.110

Great security cameraThis camera provides an excellent image/video and it’s sensor is spot on. The camera can store recordings to the Cloud so you can view and download as you need and it’s also a protection against anyone that tries to steal or damage the camera. The app provides alerts and you can access the camera from anywhere that has access to the web. It’s easy to install and set up. I highly recommend this camera and the app..Version: 2.8.21

Quickest smart appI have got a few Smart devices now and recently bought a Tapo smart plug. I always dread setting up a new one after experiencing difficulties in the past and taking ages to connect things. I have to say though, this is the quickest I’ve ever set anything up. I was so impressed that I have bought another Tapo Smart Plug, and even though, I only had 11% charge left on my iPad, I managed to set it up even quicker - as I already had an account. It took me less than 2 minutes to add the new plug. Very impressed!.Version: 2.8.8

TapoC100Product works very well. Easy setup, with clear image, especially night vision recording. Yes, I would recommend this product, to family and friends..Version: 3.1.602

Great productBought two of these cameras one for each room .. great quality for the price and very pleased how easy to set up and run :).Version: 2.2.6

Works nicely.I looked around for something to give me an idea of how much power my computers were consuming, and this does exactly that. One of my computers uses around 30 watts while idle, but as soon as I start encoding a video, it jumps up to around 200 watts, but it does hit peaks of around 238 watts at times. It’s also handy for being to turn on and off electrical devices likes lamps. I was able to use Siri to make it voice activated, which is brilliant (this can be done with Alexa as well)..Version: 2.18.0

Nice CamerasI did a lot of research before I bought these I’m March 2023. They are very easy to set up and the app is very functional. Clear picture and zoom feature is nice. Negatives Voice from the camera to your phone is fine. Voice from you phone to the camera in not really good and choppy. Not a deal breaker as I bought those to watch my dog and I’d call the police if I seen someone. With that said, you can be notified anytime there is motion within the camera view or not be notified. There is an alarm that can be set to go off but it’s not loud and sounds like a child’s toy. I just keep it off and call the police if needed. Overall, wifi is great but does require a plug or outlet. App is also great at managing multiple cameras. Storage is nice on the SD card or you can put in the cloud for a price of course. I do recommend these cameras as they have many other attachments to the system you can buy..Version: 2.15.1(512)

Great Camera softwareDoes everything I need to do with my Tp-link camera and I made my way through all the menus intuitively..Version: 3.1.307

ReveiwThis app has made it so much easier to operate the lights in my room. When it comes to changing the lights daily it is a piece of cake as there is many different features including, rainbow, bubbly, lightning, valentines, sunset and many, many more. I highly recommend this app! 👍🏽.Version: 2.17.1

I’m Impressed!I purchased a couple of what I assumed were budget cameras that were also on sale and I’ve had a really good experience. The software is well written and works without glitches, setup was almost too easy, the outdoor wifi cameras have more range than I was expecting, recording quality night and day is again better than expected. Highly recommended!.Version: 2.15.505

Widget needs some work.Please work on the widget. Your devices report on a whole bunch of stats and actions, from power usage to light and security camera activation. There not a widget ability to turn all or set lights on, or cameras on by widget or view total power usage stats?.Version: 3.1.502

One touchYup thanks for making this app compatible with Kasa app one of the best moves ever all in one please love it thanks..Version: 3.1.602

So easy to install and useful!I bought the Tapo for my small business and house. It so easy to install and the function is very useful. The quality of pictures, videos and voice is about 4 stars for me because it’s frozen sometimes.Version: 3.0.507

ReliableOnce set up, which isn’t too difficult, it does what it says it will and continues doing it until you tell it otherwise. Which is just what you want..Version: 3.1.502

FantasticI recently got an echo dot,so I also got the Tapo RGB smart bulb and light strip,setup was extremely easy in this app and after a quick update I was ready to start playing with my new “toys” and I haven’t stopped! I absolutely love them! Also the devices were VERY reasonably priced!!! I would however LOVE to be able to use chameleon control on my RGB light strip whilst the Tapo app is open and running in background because at present any deviation from the chameleon control function (sync to sound feature) stops the function so I’m powerless to control my music from phone etc. Nonetheless I still wholly recommend both Tapo devices and this Tapo app! They’ve literally changed my life! Thank you so much Tapo,keep up the amazing work! Hoping to add to my Tapo smart home collection very soon!.Version: 2.11.24

Easy asGreat little cameras Very easy to use app Easy set up, worked seamlessly. Very impressed that something worked right from the start with no hiccups. Hope it stays that way. Has been going for over 4 weeks without one problem. Thank you.Version: 2.3.26

Awesome appThe new version is great.Version: 3.0.509

Affordable, reliable and easy to useI started out with one camera (c200) and had it up and running in less than 5 minutes. The app is pleasant to use with good features and interface. I’ve expanded my camera range after the good experience from the c200 and the app handles all the cameras live streaming simultaneously very well. What the stand out thing for me was how instant and quick motion detection notifications are sent to your device. I compared the tapo against two higher end hikvision cameras that were placed next to the tapo and viewing the exact same scene and on every occasion when I purposely walked in front of the cameras to set off the motion detection the tapo was the first camera that I received a notification of motion detection to my phone out of the three. The other two were not far behind but never did they beat the tapo. That’s pretty impressive compared to the price difference between hikvision and tapo cameras. Also recording and play back on an installed SIM card in the camera works well. And the wifi connection is unreal. The live feed is like it’s a wired connection. These cameras are good bang for your buck..Version: 2.15.504(566)

Seamless integration with iOS shortcutsThis is some of the best onboarding experiences I’ve ever seen. Even has a built-in action for toggling lights with one Shortcut, something that the default Shortcuts setup lacks. Well done to the team building this..Version: 3.0.510

Great product and app.Have only been using this for a few days. And have loved everything that’s come out of it. I wish you could add a feature in Shortcuts making the app know if the Device is on or off..Version: 2.11.24

AmazingI got my Tapo with a box that I ordered for my puppy so I can make sure he’s ok when I’m out. It’s absolutely brilliant. Setting the camera up was so easy and so quick I had it all done in about 5 minutes if that. The footage is crystal clear. You get a notification every time their is movement so it keeps you up to date within seconds and that is great ( it’s also great for keeping an eye on the kids lol ) I have it in my living room and I can see every part of the whole space. The amount of area that the camera can see is fantastic. Overall I will highly recommend getting these cameras to everyone it will be the best investment you will do.Version: 2.9.12

Finally!!!!!Kasa integration! Now I can buy more Kasa and Tapp cameras without needing different apps!!! Hooray!!! One feedback though. When in full screen and using the “call” function, can you update the app to hide all the buttons? It takes up space in the full screen which mean you can it the full screen clearly..Version: 3.0.508

Affordable and reliableSo far I am quite surprised that how amazing this camera and app are considering how affordable the cameras are, if it keeps working this well then I will definitely be buying more.Version: 3.1.305

Tapo iphone appOnce you learn the place of the option’s it becomes more useful.. it wasn’t obvious to me to start with that there are a couple of pages that control the same or very similar options.. eg: the settings for each camera can be different for the “at home” and “away” than for the current settings. I have a few C100 cameras and the app works well with them, both for the initial setup and everyday settings...Version: 2.4.57

Best Home or Business Security SystemThe best money I have ever spent on a product. Please include a option to store all images and video of possible intruders in the cloud. Also in night vision an option to turn in the camera as flash light to capture the complete face of the person. If there was back up power battery bank, so if power goes off it can still be recording even with out WiFi signal, that would be nice..Version: 2.3.29

Intuitive AppEasy to use. Installed several TC60 cameras to help with caring for elderly parent, wish I’d got them before the fall! 2 things needed. Ability to control P110 smart plugs, currently only for outdoor camera and to be able to customise notification sound in iOS. Default notifications not waking me up at night when movement detected. Need facility to change sound to something louder. Be good if each camera could have its own notification sound..Version: 2.11.25

Easy to setup and use, no hidden feesGreat software and hardware. Needed to setup home monitoring system for an elderly person at risk of falls. Did not want to pay a subscription fee. Tapo was exactly what I needed. Camera and TV smart plug setup was easy. Need a WiFi to setup and run. Monitoring records motion and stores data locally. Thank you, Tapp.Version: 2.1.13

Please allow change of notification soundIt’s a great app. However, I am wondering if it’s possible to change notification sound after updating to iOS 17.1, similar to iMessage app. It’s an iOS issue that the default notification sound is inaudible and unchangeable, but the app itself should allow changing notification sound. Please make that happen. Thanks..Version: 3.1.305

Easy to useWe bought two globes for bedrooms. We will get more. The app is so easy to use our 4 year old can do it. I got them both working in a matter of minutes..Version: 3.1.601

Functional CCTV and a great priceBought a smart pan/tilt camera from Argos here in the UK for £35 and a 128GB memory card for another £20. So £55 quid all in. Setup is really straightforward, pairing the camera to the app and the Wi-Fi only takes minutes and mounting the camera is a doddle too. Once setup the app gives you great functionality, control you camera from anywhere, receive motion alerts, have the camera produce and audio visual warning when this is triggered also, you’re able to have two way audio conversations via the cameras microphone and speaker too. All in all, 10/10 for functionality, value and ease of use..Version: 2.4.62

Security cameraJust had this fitted, my security and knowing what is happening in and around my property is essential to me after two attempts to murder me, I have four other cameras fitted, these are surpassed by the simplicity and opportunities that this camera has provided to me in just a few days , I must upgrade my iPhone , available connectivity via wireless transmissions which are extremely poor, bad almost no existent in my location , despite all this the camera and connection works very well, my so called Smart meter for gas and electricity does not work at all in almost a year since being fitted, sky was removed, could not make it work, Netflix useless but my camera from the moment fitted works perfectly well even when I am absent it alerts me , even provides communication to the area for me thank you (1RECC).Version: 2.8.8

Ok for the priceThe camera is pretty good (day and night). The sound recording is not the best, but still a good value. I still haven’t figured out how to make the camera move w/ room movement. Also it wasn’t clear it requires a SIM card and an ongoing subscription. I’m trying the 30 day free period and may reconsider. For now, I’d still give it a thumbs up.Version: 2.8.21

Great productGreat product for its cheap price. Very easy set up. Amazing video and microphone quality. Will buy a second one to place in the other room in the house.Version: 2.15.503(564)

CCTV cameraI am very happy with my purchase. I have bought 3 of this camera and I am able to see all angles of my house in the safety of my house and the price is reasonable. I am actually thinking of buying a fourth camera..Version: 2.4.69

Great smart looking lights!I bought a smart light for my room about a week ago and I found it great especially when connecting it to my google home.Version: 3.0.510

Great temperature monitorWe use this to see the temperature in our dog house outside, it’s very helpful to see in the app the current temp and the history over the day, as well as set temperature alerts to know when it’s too hot!.Version: 3.0.509

Tapo C301I got this camera a week ago, it was very easy to set up and connect to my wifi and then phone. I will definitely get one more (indoor) camera. Recommended!.Version: 3.0.508

Pretty good reallyI have been dabbling with the smart stuff for best part of ten years and for once this app has got close to it’s needed performance straight away. I particularly like the scheduling and away features which are simple to set up and it made me realise how many apps simply fail to Dona simple thing simply. The smart plug sockets are a real little gem, there are as often the case a lot of things that would be great enhancements hopefully they will think of the obvious ones and spec out the changes..Version: 2.4.62

Great except……Honestly this app is fantastic…Except one small but annoying complaint. They DONT let you change the sound for “motion detection” on the camera. I use the camera to detect motion at a door for packages, family, intruders, etc. All they let you use is the iPhone “tri tone” which most people use when receiving a text message. This sounds minor except if you’re busy you might miss an important motion detection while the phones in your pocket, thinking it’s just another text message. TP Link if you’re reading this, please fix this small bit provoking annoyance. It would make the app 10000x better with just one small fix allowing us to choose a custom tone..Version: 2.4.69

Good plugs, great value and great convenience.Got four (for the price of two, on Black Friday) so for under £10 each they are great. Easy to connect and with the app, easy to use. If you think slightly laterally they are even better. Both the plugs and lights remember their last setting before being powered down so I can put the bulb on an ordinary light, switch on via Tapo then use it as normal on a light switch then if I go away I just turn on the light switch before leaving and I can use the bulb as a security light and return to normal on my return without any need to set up. Similarly the plugs have a manual on/off switch so can use as normal then switch over without set-up. The “away” function is a bit sketchy on its random switching but I suppose that is its purpose but I think I may programme it myself. Using Google-home works well with voice but took a bit of understanding of Google Routines but ok once understood. All in all, a great device..Version: 2.4.49

Great app, not over complicatedApp is great, nice interface and everything is where you’d expect it to be. Took a little while to work out how to save clips to memory though. There’s an option in the app to enable AI mode which detects humans to prevent too many alerts. I’d like the same thing for animals because passing traffic triggers the cameras motion detection and and an app alert every 5 mins. It’s people dogs crapping in my garden I’m more interested in catching rather than someone’s headlights casting a shadow on the grass lol.Version: 2.10.4

Amazing and good functions in this appReally good to like the tapo app as well the c210 camera..Version: 3.1.305

Best cameras for the moneyReally great features+easy app to use and able reboot cameras daily makes reliable recording a thing. Awesome baby cam solution too!.Version: 2.4.42

Tapo CameraExcellent, nice and clear.Version: 3.1.502

Hard to believe this much technology for so little costWanted a camera to record and playback with motion only recording-looked at the ring products but didn’t like the price and the fact that you have to pay a monthly fee to a cloud -picked up the Tapo c200 for £25 plus a micro sd card which can be set to record over itself £7 .only complaint is no manual everything is online or from forums to solve problems but hey that’s the new way.Version: 2.2.34

TapoGreat little device, easy to add to the network, easy to set up a schedule.Version: 3.1.305

So far soo goodNo complaints and the quality is awesome.Version: 3.1.502

Not bad at all, needs HomeKit support!Thought I’d try a C100 camera out as very cheap to buy! Of course the main omission is no native HomeKit support, which I have worked around to some extent using HomeBridge. Now the app is quite nicely laid out and functionality is good, only two issues I find so far are: 1. Sharing an image inside the app via Messages gets you stuck in that submenu, go cannot get out of the messages ‘slide up’ after sending without force quitting the app. 2. Favourites is spelt wrong for the U.K., it has a U in British English. The camera image quality I find very good, even in night mode. I’d go as far as to say amazing for under £20! The audio is clearly discernible at either end (mic/speaker). And motion detection works nicely too. Now if the app/device had HomeKit support it would be 5 star and I’d fill my house with their cameras. Eufy, another Chinese brand has announced a similar camera for US launch shipping June, at a compatible RRP, that has native HomeKit support and HomeKit secure video promised via a firmware update. Come on TP-Link you could grab some of this market too, especially as you sell in stores unlike Eufy/Anker. Overall like the app and camera, but need native HomeKit support..Version: 2.2.6

No words apart from just amazingHave a 10week old puppy and he was crying through the night wasn’t sure if needed to go out or didn’t want to be alone, this helped me relax of a night time and no my little man was safe it turned out he just didn’t like being alone now I can check on him whenever he is in distress and make sure he is ok highly recommend!!!!.Version: 2.3.37

LOVE - HIGHLY RECOMMENDI was having so much trouble with my Victure baby monitor camera and decided to try this one. AH-MAZING. You can move up and down and left and right to get a good view. It offers notifications for baby crying and movement detection. The night vision is GREAT. I feel much more secure about keeping an eye on my baby with this camera. Easy set up and the app is so easy to use. If you are thinking about buying the camera that goes with this app- DO IT!.Version: 2.15.503(564)

Looking after aging parents in a pandemicThis product has been a lifeline. I’m so happy I got it. Now I can check on my parents and even my sons their grandchildren can say good morning and good night grandma each day and make them feel secure and connected. I bought a Facebook portal which has been useless TAPO and the TP-Link cameras are a much better product for this purpose. Also better than NEST cameras which are overpriced and don’t have the same 360 rotation as the TP Link camera..Version: 2.4.57

So clear!Easy to install, easy to use! Amazing camera ! Highly recommended !.Version: 3.1.307

Baby camGreat for a baby cam solution - once set up it makes for a reliable and good quality live camera.Version: 2.2.35

Didn’t know I needed it till I bought it!!Fantastic for the price!!! The app also exceeded my expectations considering I only paid £21! Although it’s a paid subscription service after the 30 day trial I really can’t complain as it does exactly what it says it does and more! Camera and audio quality gets a 10/10 for me. BARGAIN 👏🏻.Version: 2.11.25

Amazing QualityBest cameras you’ll ever purchase period.Version: 3.1.602

Great app and cameraI am pleased how the camera works. I have it in my house as a second set of eyes on a family member that has Alzheimer’s so that I know when she’s in distress or needs help..Version: 3.1.602

BrilliantBetter than expected, colour me impressed.Version: 3.1.602

Tapo C310Thus far this very affordable camera has delivered on all it promised. As a tech troglodyte even I was able to connect to the app and navigate the various camera functions. I have no hesitation in recommending this 4.5 star rating product..Version: 2.9.12

The best!I can see my dog’s perfectly! Quality is amazing and everything works amazing!.Version: 3.1.602

Time zone need Melbourne time zoneI have a Tapo camera the time is wrong on it there are no Melbourne or Sydney time zones and there is Australia/ Canberra and the time has a one hour difference and you guys at tp link Tapo need to add Melbourne Australia time zone on the Tapo cameras..Version: 2.4.25

Excellent App and ProductsHaving used Hive for years in my home, I was looking for a solution for my garden office which didn’t require a hub. I found the Tapo lights to be excellent value and was delighted with the app and how flexible it is to set things up the way you want them and the voice support is also really handy. As my hive bulbs start to fail I’ll be replacing them with Tapo bulbs from now on..Version: 2.14.106

Awesome Smart Home System - 30+ devices in my setup!So far I’m really liking the Tapo system. I started with one cheap camera but now have five cameras including two C420S2 which has amazing AI for people and car detection. Haven’t tried pets but assume it works just as well. We have a few acres and it’s hard to know when cars are arriving sometimes so the cameras will make the hub chime when a car is coming down the driveway. Or if it detects people late at night. We’ve got a bunch of globes but what I’m especially liking are the motion sensors and buttons. Unfortunately they’re not available in Australia yet so I purchased from Europe. They’re amazing. Lamps that turn on at night automatically, one button to turn all the lamps in a room on… there just doesn’t seem to be a limit yet for what’s possible..Version: 2.15.110(536)

GreatBest thing i’ve brought! so cheap and i love how easy it is to use. My partner can also view the camera too. You can check back at home anytime while your out, gives us peace of mind. As we got broken into the garden. The police and the police dog found him and we never knew while we was indoors. Until the police dog barked and our children woke up crying. So we all feel safe with these cameras. Thank you so much!.Version: 2.2.14

Tapp C310Easy to install app, units (2) were easy to set up and are now running fine. Have just been on holidays & was able to access day or night. Great product at great price..Version: 2.2.46

Tapo C200Brought a second camera as I was so impressed with the picture quality plus the pan and tilt function is great. Great price and simple set up. Only down side is it’s a bit laggy if your WiFi isn’t strong. Brought two class 10 32G SD cards for no worries recording with good HD quality. Be sure to push reset before use and update firmware for great home security with no hidden costs..Version: 2.2.46

Amazing device. Works well.Amazing.Version: 3.1.602

Easy to useThis is my first time using a security camera app and let me tell you this app is so easy to set up and use a highly recommended for beginners for people who are not too computer savvy it’s the way to go I give it five thumbs up.Version: 2.3.37

Better than expectedGreat product. Better than expected..Version: 2.11.25

Easy and simple home securityAfter my break in, I needed a set of security cameras that I could put around the house. Honestly I love the app, I love the cameras and I highly recommend this to everyone!.Version: 2.18.0

It’s fabulous!!!!This does everything I could ever want. It has a built in alarm for when you’re away, privacy mode, the video is crystal clear. Works great with Alexa. I can literally lie in my bed and watch the kitchen and living room on my tv. I’m blown away..Version: 2.15.504(566)

App Update: Looks Good, Runs Slow!Absolutely love my little camera, it's great for spying on our dogs while at work! The new app update to version 3 leave much to be desired in regards to speed - it's significantly slower to load and much more glitchy then version 2. I have a relatively new phone so it isn't a hardware issue. It would be good if these issues could be prioritised going forward - a camera that takes a long time to load isn't very useful!.Version: 3.1.303

Tapo cameraLove this camera. It was very easy to install and very easy to use the app from my phone. I would recommend this camera to anyone who is looking for an affordable camera and also I need to mention how clear the picture is on my phone. Definitely a 5 star purchase. Lynn T..Version: 3.1.502

Great app! Easy to use and setup devicesI got this app to setup a couple of Tapo outdoor wifi security cameras. Setup was simple and easy to follow even for someone with little tech knowledge. Interface is easy to use but I haven’t tried it with other smart home devices yet..Version: 3.0.509

Very good product and App is easy to use.I bought camera from Costco at Taiwan, just followed the instructions and downloaded the App then everything done by Within 10 minutes. It works great and I can see my family through the phone in every where ..Version: 3.1.305

LRSVery happy with this camera, bought some more, easy to install, can go away and no problemz at least l can act on it straight away if there is 👍 Thanks.Version: 2.17.2

Best camera ever.Very pleased with my purchase, great camera, easy to install and use. Have purchased a second one the same at two different locations..Version: 3.1.305

Tp link never disappointsWorks.Version: 3.1.502

GoodFree and ease of use is amazing! Reliable too. Thank you Tapo!.Version: 3.1.502

Easy installBought set of 4 to control lamps. You will read bad reports from those who expect too much. I wanted something to control lamps whilst at home and away on holiday. Simple task simple need and Tapo totally meets that requirement. They are so straight forward and easy to set up. I had Sonoff before and found those difficult to set up. Get Tapo.Version: 2.4.62

Ok so far.This review is based on only 4 days ownership, so far I’m quite impressed. It supports my Tapo TC70 camera which was easy to set up and use via the app. The controls are straightforward and simple to use. My only gripe so far is that sometimes the picture will freeze and I get “tap to refresh” on the screen. On tapping I’m left with a completely black screen which requires a certain amount of fiddling about to rectify. Also it keeps changing itself from HQ to LQ. Hopefully these issues will be resolved with future updates..Version: 2.3.33

Vraiment bien et abordable je recommande!Génial je recommande !.Version: 3.1.305

Excellent camerasCrystal clear pictures, easy set up and love the wide panning ability..Version: 3.1.602

Feature RequestThe app seems to work very well - I’m happy with it so far (only had it a day). I’d like to request a new feature though… In the Cameras tab you can set either Home or Away detection modes. What these do can be customised to your preferences. Please could you add the ability for users to create their own new modes? Home is fine when I’m home and moving around the whole house / garden / garage. Away is fine when I’m away. But I’d like to be able to add more modes, let’s say I’m home but I’m not going into the garage. A third mode would allow motion detection on the garage camera to be active whilst the rest of the house and garden is inactive. Thanks.Version: 2.11.25

Works wellThis app works well, especially since it allows the continued use of the various Kasa devices, which simplifies things no end. The Tapo set up is very easy especially when multiple devices are in use because of the way the network password only need to be entered once. (I've running about 15 Tapo and Kasa devices to individually charge my LiPo devices which allows greater control and ensuring Lithium batteries are fully charged for the min time then switched off).Version: 3.1.502
