Review: Tapo security camera - I haven't really got enough space to explain how good this camera is i will try.I have installed this camera and was simply blown away with its capabilities and the simplicity of setting it up its plug and play via wifi or ether net connection you can employ either option.The camera can also follow the action rotating a full 360 degrees with a tilt feature as well moving on its own if you enable the patrol feature the video quality is also excellent and also exceptional value for money i strongly recommend this camera if you just want to feel a bit more secure.
Review: Highly recommend because they’re affordable and user friendly. - Superb cameras. We have 5 and bought a 6th. Pros:- 1. Clear images 2. Reliable motion detection 3. Short cables can be replaced with longer ones from desertcart 4. Adjustable camera image i.e. you can turn the camera upside down and flip the image. 5. Full colour or black & white available 4. User friendly - both app and camera functions. Easily adjustable. Cons:- 1. the lead is chunky and can’t be removed if you don’t need them for outdoors connection. We only use one portion of the power lead and the other unused part has to be pinned out of sight. Not an issue for us because we use them indoors and pointing through windows. 2. Short power supply cables (replaceable). 3. The back of the memory card compartment is difficult to remove and the screws can get stuck. Be very careful when first removing them and needs replacement ones with stronger screw tops or the tops will wear down after a few turns and you’ll struggle to get the screws out. 4. Mic feedback if close to the cameras. Just make sure you’re not near when testing the mic or looking at footage.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Decent PTZ Camera for a low price
*by C***M on 18 October 2025*

I bought this camera not to use with the Tapo ecosystem, but actually to add to an existing IP camera security system (a Synology Security Station), and I'm pleased to say it worked out of the box. The picture quality is pretty good during the day, and night vision benefits from bright IR LED's so it's more than capable. The camera supports both wifi and ethernet, however do bear in mind the ethernet connection doesn't support PoE, so you'll need to run a seperate power cable. Helpfully, the power cable is super long for the camera, but it's unfortunate that there's no PoE support. Even if you're not using the Tapo app to control/record with it, you can easily set up the camera and hand it off to your own NVR. Pan and Tilt is a nice bonus, and works outside of the Tapo app. The camera presents excellent value for money, but loses a star for having ethernet without PoE support!
