Good price/performance
- Simplicity
- Good product for that money
- Pretty small

Bought because it is a nice little camera with pan/tilt, small was important because the one aimed at the front door should not stand out too much. Super easy to set up, really a camera for those who do not have too much technical knowledge. Everything is set automatically, so you don't have to open any ports in your router to access your camera from another location. The app works well and quickly, also via 4G. Both live images and playback of the video on the SD card. Those stored images are quickly accessible. Tracking people by the camera works well. However, make sure that the place you aim the camera at as standard does not have moving plants, etc., because then it will ping continuously. After following the person it has detected, the camera neatly returns to its starting position. I receive a notification via my phone/Apple Watch that motion or a person has been detected. Unfortunately, you must have a subscription to receive the extra notifications such as screenshots via email.

My 2nd Tapo Cam is a pleasure again
- simple installation
- good picture even at night
- large viewing range (in a word, a great Cam)
- I haven't found it yet
It is easy to install and also works well with my Synology NAS for recording on the NAS without an SD card.
