I'm so very impressed with this camera. It's got some brilliant features and yet it's such a great price. It's the easiest thing ive ever set up in my life, once you have chosen your wi fi it pretty much sets itself up. I love the fact that the camera tracks and follows people and when it's dark 2 little spotlights come on so you can see in colour. The quality of the recording is brilliant and the audio is also very good. I have put a 128gb micro sd card in mine which I find is fine for the amount of recordings I get every day although you can have up to 500 gb. There's lots of options to choose from to tailor the camera to your specific needs. I'm so impressed with it I decided to buy another one for the other side of my bungalow, it's like having 2 mini robot security guards the way they move and look around 😁

Now first of all let it be known that I’m an absolute technodinosaur so anything involving Wi Fi, Internet and related issues is a foreign country to me. Having said that, this camera was a doddle to set up. App was easy to navigate and all pairing issues went like clockwork. The camera itself is excellent. Clear video and audio and picks up motion and persons even on low (3) sensitivity. Access to video clips on the app is straightforward. I’m using a 128 Gb card and there seems to be loads of storage and with loop recording the camera just records over earliest recordings. Owing to my total inability to understand smartphone technology and connectivity to the camera I’m left with one irritating issue which does not diminish my review of the camera, merely emphasises my down comings. The phone gives an audible notification of motion detection which is picked up on my Garmin watch. Yes, I completely get the irony of a techno numpty having a smart watch but it alerts my wife if and when I fall off my bike, an increasingly more common event these days. Consequently, as I live on a fairly busy thoroughfare the accursed phone and watch conspire to annoy me by audibly alerting me each time someone walks past, which is the camera’s function, but is somewhat distracting when it does so every couple of minutes. There is undoubtedly a way of switching off notifications, but it is thus far out of my area of competence to find it. Nevertheless, a cracking piece of kit and for the price an excellent buy.Update. After a few months of use I continue to be impressed by this camera. You get used to the notifications and find them useful after a while. The video quality is very good. I must, though, give a resounding thumbs up to Tapo Customer Support. They are second to none in my opinion. I’ve contacted them a couple of times on technical issues and their response has been swift and efficient. Answered my questions with expertise and straightforward advice. Excellent.

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.

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!

I already have a camera system for the my house but didn’t have any cameras on our rear garden. Added this one yesterday and first impressions are very good. Camera appears to be good quality and easy instructions for mounting and linking to my IPhone. Pan and tilt etc all work as described and the picture quality is very good. I need to get an SD card so I can record images so can’t comment on that aspect.

Great camera that works perfectly. App is good with some nice features. Install a micro SD card and there is no need for a subscription. The wifi is good and no problem with a signal 30m from the router. The best bits for me is the ability to switch off things that trigger recordings that I don't want, for example cars. Increase sensitivity for people and pets.

I have several Tapo cameras and they all work perfectly through the app. Not a single drop of camera connection. I have bought other brands before and you have lots of adverts on the app and also different apps for different cameras. I bought this TC 40 as I already had another of the TC40 one. Set up is fantastically easy through the Tapo app, no subscription as it records directly to the sd card. Now manage all 4 cameras and doorbell through one app! Bonus...Also works with alexa so just have to say "alexa show drive", or garden etc and it will pop up on the TV if you have a firestick. (If you have the TV on,,obviously).

Superb cameras. We have 5 and bought a 6th.Pros:-1. Clear images2. Reliable motion detection3. Short cables can be replaced with longer ones from Amazon4. Adjustable camera image i.e. you can turn the camera upside down and flip the image.5. Full colour or black & white available4. 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.

Perfekt för övervakning och för ett bra pris. Funkar otroligt bra

J’ai acheté cette caméra de surveillance TP-Link Tapo C500 pour sécuriser mon espace extérieur, et elle dépasse mes attentes. Voici mon avis détaillé :Points positifs :1. Qualité d’image excellente :La résolution 1080p offre une image nette et détaillée, même de nuit grâce à la vision nocturne. On peut facilement identifier les visages ou les objets, ce qui est essentiel pour la surveillance.2. Rotation 360° et suivi de mouvement :La fonction de rotation permet une couverture complète sans angles morts. Le suivi de mouvement est réactif et suit parfaitement les déplacements, ce qui améliore considérablement la sécurité.3. Détection de personne efficace :Les notifications en temps réel sont précises et différencient bien les personnes des objets ou des animaux, réduisant ainsi les fausses alertes.4. Étanchéité IP65 :La caméra est parfaitement adaptée aux conditions extérieures. Elle fonctionne sans problème sous la pluie ou dans un environnement poussiéreux.5. Installation simple et rapide :L’installation est intuitive, que ce soit pour la fixation ou la configuration via l’application Tapo. En moins de 20 minutes, tout était opérationnel.6. Application conviviale :L’application Tapo est facile à utiliser et permet de gérer les paramètres, consulter les enregistrements, et contrôler la caméra à distance.7. Rapport qualité-prix imbattable :Pour un modèle avec autant de fonctionnalités (360°, suivi de mouvement, vision nocturne, notifications), le prix est très attractif.Points à améliorer :1. Stockage local ou cloud limité :Bien qu’il soit possible d’ajouter une carte SD pour le stockage local, l’absence d’un service cloud gratuit ou étendu pourrait être un inconvénient pour certains.2. Notifications un peu fréquentes :Même si la détection est efficace, il faut bien régler la sensibilité pour éviter d’être submergé par des alertes inutiles.3. Câblage apparent :Le câble d’alimentation est un peu trop visible une fois installé. Une version totalement sans fil serait encore plus pratique pour certains emplacements.Conclusion :La caméra de surveillance TP-Link Tapo C500 est une excellente option pour sécuriser un espace extérieur. Elle combine une qualité d’image remarquable, des fonctionnalités avancées comme le suivi de mouvement et une installation simple. Elle est parfaite pour un usage résidentiel ou professionnel à un prix très abordable. Je la recommande sans hésiter !

Super fast delivery from Amazon. Item itself very easy to install once you plan for power source location etc. Set up very easy and quality of image, pan, tilt, AI detection and notifications are all high end. Really happy with product overall and the addition of alarm and spotlight are very good. The two way speech is good but in my case I mounted camera up under eaves and when I talk back it is a little low, but the microphone on camera picks everything up perfectly and can be volume controlled. The panoramic view is great and the Patrol mode is also very good. App easy to use but lots of function on it so it does take a little getting used to. That being said its a very good app.No problem recommending this product. My installation took roughly one hour from start to finish with all functionality operational. Its 5 ***** all round from me.

Excellent product clear images at night time

Ho acquistato la Tapo C500 dopo aver letto diverse recensioni, e devo dire che ha superato le mie aspettative. La qualità video è eccellente, sia di giorno che di notte: le immagini sono nitide, con un’ottima definizione anche in condizioni di scarsa illuminazione grazie alla visione notturna a infrarossi.L’installazione è stata semplicissima: l’app Tapo guida passo passo e in pochi minuti la telecamera è pronta all’uso. La funzione pan/tilt (rotazione orizzontale e verticale) è fluida e permette di monitorare ogni angolo dell’area controllata. Anche il rilevamento del movimento è molto preciso: ricevo notifiche immediate sullo smartphone, senza falsi allarmi.Un altro punto forte è la possibilità di salvare i video sia su scheda microSD che su cloud, offrendo flessibilità nella gestione dei dati. L’integrazione con Alexa e Google Assistant è un plus comodissimo per chi ha una casa smart.Nel complesso, la Tapo C500 è una telecamera di sorveglianza affidabile, con un ottimo rapporto qualità-prezzo. Perfetta per chi cerca sicurezza, praticità e controllo totale da remoto.👉 Voto finale: 5/5 – consigliatissima!
