Reviewing this product after 3+ years of use. My first purchase was in June 2020 for ₹2,499, repeat in June 2021 for ₹2,199. Price is at par with other worthy competitors. A couple of my contacts using other brands appreciated that I have TP-Link. Consider it a great bargain if you find better price.(Update: Summer 2024, both cameras working fine 👍🏼)Here are some Great Features, along with my take:💫 Super Easy Setup (just had to mention WiFi credentials in the tapo app)💫 Sufficiently Long Adaptor Cable (though I did have to further extend it), Very neat and compact Wall/Ceiling Mount with Camera being Detachable💫 Great Quality Pic/Vids, same as rated (though it can be decreased in the tapo viewer app for streaming efficiency, keeping the recording resolution high)💫 Flawless Motion Detection (though I had to disable it due to too many alerts). SD storage can be saved tremendously if enabled only during motion detection (though I am more comfortable with unconditional recording)💫 Uninterrupted Recording in the SD Card, whether your WiFi goes down resulting in no-view in your viewing device💫 Good Night Vision💫 Auto-Reboot (optional) functionality provided, probably to stabilize the camera's server, in user defined 15-minute window💫 Firmware updates provided by TP-Link whenever available💫 Tapo app is very smooth and well thought of with Pan/Tilt controls, mic/speaker control, two-finger zooming, multi camera/room support, pause recording (privacy mode), manual reboot, SD formatting, easy recording time-range defining by week days, disabling the camera green-LED - just to name the primary features✅ To complete the review, and to be fair, some prominent shortcomings must be mentioned - in a hope that TP-Link eventually provides us firmware/app updates, whenever possible. These are such observations:🥀 No app interaction for 5-minutes results in switching OFF of the view with this message, as shown in the attached pic. It is a major problem for people working in, say, kitchen-sink, and every 5-minutes, one has to wash and dry the hands to press CONTINUE🥀 Tap to Refresh message, as shown in the attached pic. comes up each time the WiFi's internet is disabled for, may be, 30-seconds or more (just a guess). Again a problem for a person having hands occupied and having eyes on the display🥀 No FireTV Support Yet. Now that FireTV is picking up a good portion of the market share, but searching for tapo app in the FireTV apps results in a 3rd party app. Why would anybody provide private Camera credentials to such an app?🥀 Streaming on Monitor is Unreliable. Meaning, if you would like to have camera view on your PC/Mac/Linux monitor, you can provide a URL (with Camera credentials) to any Streaming-Video viewer (example VLC). But after 30-60 minutes or so, I have experienced that the view goes blank/distorted, and link needs to be re-established🥀 Audio Listening Quality is Pathetic, not taking about subject's whispering, even normal talks are very difficult to make out. It could be cost factor, as sensitive microphones do exist, but those must be expensiveFor the above reasons, 1-star needs to be withheld, and this product rightly deserves 4-big stars ⭐⭐⭐⭐

The media could not be loaded. Best Product, Easy InstallationMust buy product from Tapo especially for Kids and Pets, worth of MoneyMotion tracking feature is unbelievable.I have screwed if to room window you can see the video for information

A feature rich camera.There are a lot of pros for this camera:1. Great Price and is loaded with features2. Camera quality is very good with 4mp semsor offering 2k resolution3. Works as an excellent baby monitor for noise and movement detection allowing you to demarkate the detection area in app qlong with the sensitivity selection. The notification is prompt to baby cry or movement.4. Easy to setup and use. The app UI is also very easy to navigate.5. The charger cable length is sufficiently long more than 10 ftThe cons are as follows:1. Works only on 2.4ghz wifi frequency2. The app gives an offline error - has happened twice now in 1 week use3. The view ange could have been a little wide

I recently purchased the TP-Link Tapo C520WS 5MP 3K QHD Pan/Tilt Outdoor Security Wi-Fi Camera. The build quality is robust, and the 360° rotation feature works seamlessly, allowing comprehensive coverage of the area. The camera's functionality, including motion tracking and two-way audio, is commendable.However, despite its higher 5MP resolution, the image quality doesn't quite match up to the TP-Link Tapo C320WS 4MP 2K QHD camera. The C320WS delivers sharper and more vibrant images, especially in low-light conditions, likely due to its starlight sensor technology.Pros:Sturdy Build: Durable construction suitable for outdoor use.Pan/Tilt Functionality: Smooth 360° rotation provides extensive coverage.Feature-Rich: Includes motion tracking, two-way audio, and customizable alerts.Cons:Image Quality: Despite higher resolution, the video clarity is not as sharp as the C320WS, particularly in low-light scenarios.In summary, the Tapo C520WS offers excellent features and build quality, but if superior image clarity is a priority, especially in low-light conditions, the C320WS might be a better choice.

Okay-ish camera. The mounting bracket broke and hence it can’t be mounted to a wall now. The app is really good but there is a significant lag when showing recorded videos. Also there is either the 3MP 5K video mode or the 360p. There is no 1080p mode that is bandwidth optimized. The processor is weak. When set to record everything, the camera stalls when watching a live video.

Super useful product. Total value for money. Just plug in and pair it with your home WiFi and download the app. It’s all set to use. Amazing quality

Why did you pick this product vs others?:The camera is good.Sometime loose contact with wifi and unless u restart it , it doesn't get connect.The wall fixing plate is cheap and takes very critical level of effort to remove camera from that plate once fixed. Also ergonomic wise it doesn't have proper holding area while removing camera from that plate leading to damage to Motor.
