Kasa 1080p Indoor Pan/Tilt Wired Security Camera - Works as a Baby & Pet Monitor, Motion Detection & Tracking, 2-Way Audio, Night Vision, Subscription-Free Local Storage or Optional Cloud, EC71

EXTREMELY EASY TO USE • COST-EFFECTIVE • VERSATILE • SATISFYING: I happened to buy a 4-pack of Kasa smart plugs recently. After experiencing firsthand how easy it was to integrate them into my existing and very average home Wi-Fi system - not to mention tie their control into existing Amazon smart devices such as my Echo Dot and EchoPop - I simply couldn't resist the urge to (join the rest of you in the 21st century and) purchase a camera. APPLICATION: I wanted an easy to buy, implement, use and maintain a remote controllable and reasonably 'smart' surveillance system - just to keep an eye on things that happen on the street. I learned very quickly the Kasa camera system has features that enable it to not only track motion but specifically people when desired (see Activity Zones IMG) ; features include various levels of tracking up to and including "Patrol Mode" which will cause the camera to rotate through the four savable "scenes" at the specified interval(s) allowing for 360° monitoring from just one camera. Even has NIGHT VISION. I actually bought two cameras and haven't even set up the second one because the first is already doing so much! TIPS & TRICKS: Make sure you purchase a reasonable quality 64 GB mini SD card. That is the maximum size card this model of Kasa camera can utilize. TO INSERT THE CARD: using the mobile interface pan the camera upward until the mini SD card port and reset buttons are exposed (see IMGs.) Insert the card LABEL UP and press until firmly clicked and secured in its final position. I have been running the camera "24/7" (the actual mode is known as "24/7 Monitoring") at maximum resolution of 1080p for ~ 3 days and have used less than 25% of the 64 GB capacity. (see IMGs) HOW TO SAVE EVIDENCE: Should something unfortunate occur and you find yourself in the position of needing to save that which your camera captured you can simply click on "24/7 recording" & move the saved timeline bar to the requisite point, wait for playback to start and click the 🔴 in the lower right-hand portion on the playback screen. (Note: Give the video recall some time - after all it is the camera having to go back and read saved data while still recording and saving new data, transmit saved data through the Wi-Fi network to your phone and ultimately save it in a new location. Even the fastest systems will take a moment.) Following these steps will save a video of what was recorded that you will find in your video gallery. *There is a portion of the app allocated to Activity Alerts Tracking which is available with a Kasa Care subscription; I do not have that subscription thus I am unable to speak to those features at this time but imagine they facilitate easier activity recall and saving. WHAT TO DO NOW: Click purchase. 😊 Seriously this thing is fabulous especially for the price point. Off the top of my head some of the easiest applications I can think of would be keeping an eye on your pets or your kids while they're at home or having an extra pair of eyes when needed. *** Keep in mind this review is written from the standpoint of someone seeking easy applications and easy use - If you are looking for something that is sturdy, has own/redundant power, data storage and signaling capacity, is designed to survive not only adverse weather/climate but also potential tampering this is not the device I would recommend.

Great cameras. I have 3. This is the 3rd time I tried to write a review. When I tried to include a picture the review disappeared? Picture quality is fantastic both day and night. Pan, tilt and zoom is great with good range. The record function is fantastic with great playback. They are corded but with a little inguity and extension cords you can work it out..I even mounted the front camera on top of the porch light with rubber cement. I highly recommend these cameras. Inexpensive but you won't be disappointed.

Great price for such great function.Great picture for security purposes in the house.Great Rotation and an EZ app.that work fantastic.

I picked up this Kasa indoor security camera, and overall it’s been a solid addition to our setup. Initial setup was quick and easy, and the camera itself feels durable and well-made. Mounting it to the wall or ceiling is straightforward once you get past one small hurdle. The main reason I gave this a 4 out of 5 is the mounting clip. Removing the clip from the base of the camera was more difficult than expected and took a few minutes to figure out so I could mount it the way I wanted. It’s doable, but not very intuitive. Once installed, the camera looks clean, and the app is easy to use. One of my favorite features is the ability to save up to four different camera angles using what Kasa calls activity zones. I use these all the time since I have them set for every angle I want to monitor. We mounted ours on the ceiling, and flipping the view upside down in the app was simple. For around $20, this is a solid indoor camera with some great features. If you’re okay with spending a little extra time during mounting, it’s a good value overall.

These home security cameras have been a total game-changer for my daily routine and overall sense of safety. The crystal-clear video quality and reliable motion alerts provide an incredible layer of protection, allowing me to keep an eye on my property from anywhere in the world. Setup was remarkably intuitive, and the seamless integration with my smartphone ensures I’m always in the loop. Whether it’s checking on a package delivery or simply feeling secure at night, the performance and reliability of this system offer a level of peace of mind that is truly priceless.

This camera is super easy to setup on your phone with an app. It connects well and the image is good. I use it to spy on my dog when I’m not home. It has voice, takes an SD card, and has a really good pan. It does lag a little big when using the voice and the pan has to be reset every so often on the actual device.

I was having a problem setting it up as the internet had no connection when I clicked on the Kasa network. I was just about to return it when I got help from Aldrin. He informed me that after I clicked on the Kasa network, to go back to the app and continue. It all worked great from there. Aldrin was very helpful. I just wish they had put this info someplace in the instructions.

Great little home Camera for pet monitoring! Easy to set up and gives a clear well rounded view of activity in the room!

Not bad but not as we expected

Muy fácil de instalar, se ve muy nítida la imagen, además se pueden escuchar las voces o ruidos que haya en el lugar y también se puede hablar por medio de la cámara; excelente compra! La recomiendo mucho!

Have been using these cameras for years and installed on every corner of my house. Best choice in home security.

Works great. Clear picture

Do not buy if in UK - this doesn’t work
