Good value for money.

The device is well made and has good features. The app. was initially awkward and not at all intuitive, making the setup process long and tedious. The instructions that come with the camera go into much detail about how to use two screws to mount the thing but little or no substance about the important aspect of setting it up. i.e. useless. The Tap Link website is a little better so its a matter of learn as you go.
The camera will need an additional micro sd card, it does not come with one.
Having succeeded in getting it working, the features become much more apparent and are really quite good. Quality of video is also good.

Great value product for peace of mind

After a spate of break ins and car thefts
Purchased this product for peace of mind when in bed in the evening to detect motion . Works as expected. Took a little time to realise night vision glare from internal window works better on day setting . But can view my drive and vehicles when motion detected . Voice feature has slight delay and sounds a little tinny but this feature is of no great importance to me . Will be purchasing a second camera . Read full review

Great all round indoor camera.

Does exactly what it is supposed to.

It is easy to set it up to your wifi network via smartphone app.
[Remember, like most 5Ghz wifi is not accepted]
Will work with Hidden SSID after setup.

App works down to Android KitKat as a minimum.
Works perfect with my Android 10 os.

The APP comes from TP LInk themselves, so it is made to work with their camera products, and it works.
==There are no ads or intruding permissions with the app, so confidence is applied.==

There is a male set up voice that talks to you during set up procedure.

Add an sd card for local storage.
Alerts sent to smart phone.

LQ & HQ video image options.
Day & night images are very good.
Switchable night vision [auto/on/day]

My last cheap china camera would get confused with sunlight shadows, but this Tapo Camera has a better algorithm for its detection, so less false alerts. It seems to detect movement rather than change. The sensitivity can also be adjusted.
Pan & Tilt with zone marker are a plus.

Can be mounted upside down as the app does have an 'invert image' switch.

App is smooth and has a nice layout, and has many user changeable options.
My only gripe is no Dark Mode for the app - maybe something TP Link may change in the future.

I would highly recommend this camera. It is good value for money and gives peace of mind.

So far, it has been flaweless in its operation and I am very pleased with it.

[So much better than the cheap China cameras with a poor intrusive app filled with ads]

Great affordable camera

I have been researching for a camera for ages for a good price and a SD card. After reading reviews on TP link about the Tapo C200 I was put off by the trouble people were having with setting the camera up as well as problems with formatting the SD card. I decided just to order one had no problem setting it and when I received the SD card I thought I would have trouble getting to work but nothing I was so surprised as I am not techie at all. I like the fact that you don't have to subscribe to save videos as I can sent the to my email to save. I am going to order another.Read full review

Cost effective NAS camera

I'm using this camera successfully with Synology Surveillance Station. Remember to set the interface up as ONVIF and it works fine. (The Pan and Tilt controls are a bit coarse, but think that's due to the NAS).Read full review

Great device. So easy to set up and use.

At last, a camera and app designed with the end user in mind.
Very clear image day and night, good pan/tilt response, simple app to load and use.
Much easier to set up (5 mins) than the cheaper ones - you don't have to sign up for cloud storage etc. (I bought one of those first and it took an hour to sort!)

Great little camera for the price

I bought one of these cameras a few weeks ago, and it works so well for us that we bought a second one. It was easy to set up using the app. The only downside is you can only use it on 2G, but that's just a minor point because the camera does the job.Read full review
