TP-Link Tapo 2K Security Camera for Baby Monitor, Dog Camera w/Motion Detection, 2-Way Audio Siren, Night Vision, Cloud & SD Card Storage, Works w/Alexa & Google Home, 4-Pack (Tapo C110P4)

The video quality, during the day and in night mode is better than I expected. The camera has a nice wide angle, and is easy to set up. The call and audio features were a plus, and I am currently using it without cloud or micro storage. I love the motion detection notifications, they work really well, and there is an option to override the notifications when you're at home. Love it!

As someone who has delved into the world of home security cameras, purchasing and testing models from Meross, Ubiquiti, Nest, Ring, and others, I've encountered my fair share of unique challenges with each brand. I've even invested over $200 on some Ubiquiti cameras, all in the pursuit of finding the perfect balance of functionality, ease of use, and affordability. However, it wasn't until I came across the TP-Link Tapo 2K Indoor Camera that I felt I had found a device that stood out in the crowded market, especially for a very specific need: ensuring the safety and monitoring of my in-laws who have recently moved into an assisted living community.The aspect of this camera that immediately caught my attention was its affordability combined with its robust feature set, something I had begun to think was impossible to find. Unlike other systems that nickel and dime you for every additional feature, the TP-Link Tapo offers a comprehensive package without the need for a subscription service. This was particularly appealing as it enabled me to keep an eye on my in-laws' well-being without incurring ongoing costs.Installation and setup were astonishingly straightforward. I opted for a 256GB SD card, which was more than adequate for our needs and was incredibly easy to install and configure. This ease of setup is not something I can say for all the cameras I've tested in the past, where sometimes the setup process seemed almost deliberately complicated.The video quality is another point where the Tapo 2K Indoor Camera shines. It delivers crisp, clear images that make it easy to see what's happening, even from a distance. But perhaps the feature that sets it apart the most is the ability to playback footage remotely. This has given me peace of mind, knowing that I can easily check in on my in-laws at any time, from anywhere.Price-wise, the Tapo 2K is unbeatable. Considering the high costs of some competitors' cameras that still require additional outlays for full functionality, the value proposition of the Tapo 2K is clear. It's an affordable, effective solution for anyone looking to secure their home or, in my case, keep a watchful eye on loved ones in a care setting.In conclusion, the TP-Link Tapo 2K Indoor Camera has proven to be a little gem in a market saturated with overpriced and overcomplicated alternatives. Its combination of ease of use, excellent video quality, remote playback capability, and affordability make it a standout option. It's a purchase I've been thoroughly pleased with and would recommend to anyone in a similar situation or anyone looking for a reliable home security camera without unnecessary frills or expenses.

These things are great! Easy to pair (keep them on 2.4ghz though), picture quality is great. I have them scattered around my house to spy on my cats when I'm not home. I also have some in my elderly relatives home to be able to check if they are alright if they don't answer their phone. They have a privacy mode and the app is great - you can group cameras together so you can scroll through them all without having to go back to the Home Screen.

I bought two white 2k C110 cameras in the same order, both are hardware v2.0. After I received them I got them added to the TAPO app and did two firmware upgrades on each camera and both are firmware v1.4.6. Comparing settings one is 2K/30fps and one is 2K/25fps, 30 fps is not listed (-1 star for inconsistencies among exact same devices).I got these to replace an old Amcrest 1080p and Foscam 720p dome cameras.Comparing the C110 to the Amcrest I can tell the C110 doesn't display colors as well when looking outside. The Amcrest shows bright green grass (real color) where the C110 shows a dull and darker green (not what it really looks like). The C110 is better than the Foscam.Both the Foscam and Amcrest cameras allowed me to set the port the device used making it easy to view in a browser, IP Camera Viewer (PC) and Tiny Cam Pro (Android).These C110 cameras use RTSP & ONVIF (ports 554 & 2020) and you cannot change the ports the camera uses.IP Camera Viewer (by Deskshare) can connect to both cameras and display video on Windows 10/11 using ONVIF port 2020 in the config page if the PC\laptop is on the same network. It was auto discovered and easy to configure.Tiny Cam Pro is great because it allows you to specify a custom RTSP and ONVIF port, therefore, you can port forward those four ports via your router (one RTSP and ONVIF per camera) and you can use the Android app to view the cameras while away from home, as well as at home. Tina Cam Pro starts up and shows the cameras faster than the TAPO app so I choose to use that app unless I need something specific from the TAPO app. I do like the TAPO app and the playback via SD card, it's fast and east to scroll to specific times.Overall these cameras are smaller and higher resolution but fail to display proper coloration in my situation but they meet my needs and will continue to use them. I doubt I will need to worry about the 30fps/25fps difference but that points to some problem and I think another review talked about a similar fps issue.

For the price -- quality is great, and you're not *required* to use their Cloud if using on a local network. Onboard storage is a nice bonus as well. So far they work great, and with a few tweaks you can easily add them to your local security system.Lots of 3D printable mounts available for special cases as these seem popular enough...Night vision is as good as any other in this price range, resolution is as advertised though a bit compressed (blocky at times). Still great for adding cameras to your local network (I have not used the Cloud app except for initial setup).
