Tapo 2K Outdoor Wired Pan/Tilt Security Wi-Fi Camera, 360° View, Motion Tracking, Works w/Alexa & Google Home, Color Night Vision, Free AI Detection, Cloud & SD Card Storage(up to 512GB), Tapo C510W

Update: I still like the quality of the cameras but they can be really frustrating in some regards. Like the fact that I’ve just changed internet providers for the second time since I’ve owned them. There is no way to update them to a new wireless system. All you can do is remove them from the app and reinstall them. Which wouldn’t be a huge deal if the removal process would allow them to be reinstalled. But it’s not that simple. You have to completely reset them. Again, not a huge thing if the reset button were not underneath the little door where the memory card goes. I’ve had three neck surgeries & have a bunch of hardware in my neck. So I either have to climb a ladder and take down the entire camera in order to reset it. Or, remove the tiny little screws from the door while standing on a ladder outside and reset the camera, then put the little door back on. It’s ridiculously difficult to do when they could just allow a reset from the app. And I have no idea if, once all this is completed, if I will be able to access the video that is already stored on the memory card from the previous wireless account. Which stinks because I think the installer of the new wireless broke a deck box in my back yard while installing the wiring at the back of my home. The only way to know for sure is to view the videos stored on the card. So if they broke it, I may not have any proof to get reimbursed for it. UGH!!!! I’ve had these cameras for a long time now and realized even though I’m very impressed with them, I never wrote a review. I think for the money, they are the best cameras you could buy. They are simple to set up and install. They will accept micro sd cards for storing video so you do not require a service or a monthly fee. I chose these because they will track movement. So I can see my dogs or my child wherever they go in my back yard. I set up two: one on one side of the back door and one on the other. The only stipulation is they require an outlet to plug them in. But I have a pool in back so I have outlets in several places for plugging in the pool robot and entertainment devices. I can view both cameras via an app on my phone or my Alexa Show device. The image quality is good and with both I can see my entire back yard. I highly recommend these cameras to anyone looking for some simple home security or just the security of being able to keep an eye on your pets or children in your yard.

This camera exceeded my expectations. The video quality is sharp, and the 360° view with motion tracking works really well. Setup was quick and straightforward, and the app is easy to use. It gives a great sense of security knowing everything is covered. Highly recommended if you’re looking for a reliable home security camera.

This security camera is awesome! For the price it is top notch! It has so many great features and has an amazing range. Pan, tilt, detection, everything works great. Playback runs seamlessly! Will be purchasing a few more of these!

It is a decent cameraggyr, and has very good night vision, however, it's just lack of zooming function. Wi-Fi connection is also good.

I have several brands of security cameras running around my house. This one is my favorite because the pictures are good, sound is good, and it is responsive to the controls when moving it around. One area it may lack however is that it has went a little crazy on us over the winter. The motion alarm (that I have shut off - because why?) will randomly go off for HOURS until I use the app, shut the motion alarm back off and it is fine again until the next update. Then it is crazy motion alarm time again. I don't know why it does this, but it does. I did not opt in for the cloud service they offer, I figure I am opening enough of my life to the company without also storing my recordings on their servers. I use a 256GB SD card, and it has worked perfectly. If it goes on sale again, I will buy one for the other corner of my house (Mine is tucked under the eave behind the gutter so it is always dry, shaded, clean, and WAY too high to fuss with). (Edit): Purchased a second one for the corner of my garage, and I have found that the WiFi is not very receptive at distance. My other outdoor network things work well out there, but this camera is not happy.

I used this camera (for driveway) and three Kasa indoor cameras to replace my 8-year-old Arlo Pro 2 camera system. The Tapo iPhone app (it supports Tapo and Kasa devices) is AI-smart and easy to use. I like my new security system. It cost me around $110 while they were on sale.

I replaced some older cameras with these, and I’ve been very happy. The image quality is excellent. There is enough light in my front yard from the street light and my house lights, that it doesn’t use the night vision and gives clear color images. The night vision is also very good (see photos). The motion/person detection and ability to exclude zones also works well. To be clear, the motion detection is video-based, not a true motion sensor. So if it’s windy and branches are blowing around, it will trip the detection. The app is very easy to use, and it was easy to connect and setup each camera. I have a 64Gb SD card in each camera. If you are not going to use their cloud storage, I would recommend getting a higher capacity card (I already had these in the old cameras). 64Gb will save about 5 days of continuous video.

Daytime picture quality is great. The app mostly works fine as well, minus some lag when connecting occasionally. However, the glaring issue (pun intended) is that the camera is essentially useless at night. If there is even the slightest mist in the air, the reflections from the onboard IR make the picture just look like snow and unable to see anything. Additionally, bugs are very attracted to the IR light at night and them swarming triggers false motion / person detections all night, becoming more of a nuisance than anything. Many other reviews have mentioned going so far as to completely disable the notifications. I understand wholeheartedly, but it also defeats the purpose of having a security camera to monitor any suspicious activity... or even be able to see / record anything useful due to the IR issues. There are workarounds though. I've purchase a separate IR flood light (Tendelux 120ft IR illuminator) here on Amazon, and mounted it about 4-5' above the camera. This would eliminate the mist/glare and bug issues mentioned above. My thought process was that I could just disable the camera's onboard IR light and only use the external IR light. However I soon realized that it wasn't just as simple as changing a setting, as there is no setting that ONLY disables the IR "light". Apparently the IR light on the camera and the IR sensor/filter inside the camera (which changes the sensor to a low light mode) are supposedly tied together (according to a TP-Link tech support rep I spoke with). So just switching it to Day Mode causes the picture to be black at night because the IR sensor is also deactivated. And in the Night Mode Settings, "Infrared Mode" obviously turns the cameras IR light on, and Full Color Mode and Smart Mode just turn the spotlight on. So none of the settings achieve simply disabling the IR "light", but leaving the IR sensor on. Credit where credit is due... the TP-Link tech support rep was great and knowledgeable. He said he would pass the feature request (disable IR light only) on to the engineering / firmware team to see if there was anything that could be done. I'm not overly optimistic that anything will come of it, but I appreciate that they will at least look into it. Until then, the solution / "workaround" is putting a piece of electrical tape or similar over the IR lights on the camera, as suggested by a TP-Link rep in their community forum... (Thread is titled "Disable IR light option to counter fog/mist/rain/snow/insect motion swamping" on the TP Link community forum) If TP-Link decides to implement an option for users to just disable the IR light, I'll happily update my rating to 5 stars... as the picture quality is pretty good at night when there's no bugs, mist, etc around.

Third one we have bought for our property. Easy to install and operate. Very clear footage.

Excelente calidad, muy fácil de instalar y de controlar en la App. Tiene muy buena resolución y buena sensibilidad. Sus múltiples funciones resultan ser muy útiles y me agrada la versatilidad para poder configurarla

I bought this one for my balcony to watch my dogs when I’m out and they are using the balcony. It’s always exposed to the sun and rain, and it still works fine. It’s a 2K camera, but I’m not using it for security, although the video quality looks good to me. I’ve had an overall good experience with Tapo cameras. They are well made, reasonably priced, and, in my opinion, great for monitoring your dogs and home when you’re out. I wish they would add a physical shutter for privacy mode. They have a software-only privacy mode that stops the video feed from streaming, but it’s not physical. All of their products are compatible with the Home Assistant environment, and you can get an RTSP stream for local-only viewing without the feed going through the cloud. Overall, I’m happy with Tapo cameras.

Very good picture qaulity even in low light. IP connected so can be remotely viewed. Built qaulity and performance almost as good much more expensive brands.
