I love this app, it helps me with my security cameras, the software is great and it's relatively optimized. but I wish there was a way to manage the Shared Devices, I want it to range from just being able to see the device, to having full control over it. what I'm saying is, people who I share my device with (using the Share Device feature) should be able to change the devices settings, view the device, et cetera.

My favorite cam so far! The only thing that would make it perfect is Ethernet port, to so that it could be used with a computer! It's the best indoor/outdoor camera around for$25! Can't beat it! Just as many options as"Ring,if not more! The SD card for local storage is fully functional for FREE! Cloud storage subscription is optional,not mandatory! Ring requires a subscription to access all functions! The Tapo app is straightforward and easy to use as well! I Immediately ordered another one! 5*

Very good app. the only drawback (doorbell specific) is that you cannot turn off notifications from activity, but also keep alerts on when someone clicks the doorbell. I have one at my back door which is a right of way, I don't want to see people passing through, just when they click the button. the camera records activity regardless of this I'm hopeful an update will resolve this.

This is possibly the best security camera system I have ever invested in as a small business owner! it has all the extras as those high-tech, high end and over priced competitors out there. I ordered from this company three times in a row just to make sure I had plenty of backup security. I definitely recommend this product because you get exactly what you paid for plus more for a lot less. they've been up and running for 4 months so far with no problems. I appreciate the "Alexa" app sync also.

From my experience with other brands and cameras, this Tapo C-120 camera is total garbage! In last few months I had to re-connect my 3 cameras a dozen times! It's totally garbage! Every other week they run into some issues and disconnect from the app and I cannot check my cameras! They are not working for few days to few weeks, then I'm getting tired of it and have to re-set the whole thing from scratch again and again! Total waste of time and money! Just buy some other brand, not this garbage!

The app has some primitive features that are too limited to be of use, but more development would make them usable. For example, the app offers to track the price of electricity used by connected devices but has limitations on time of use rates that prevent entering my utility's rate schedule, the app has no way to notify you if a device stops using power for a long period (like a connected garage freezer died).

I'm sure it's a mistake that an ad pops up after a short delay where your cameras are so that when you go to click on your camera which is the only reason you would have this app you accidentally click the advertisement. I'm sure they just accidentally did that. Just like how they remind you over and over again that you can pay them to store your footage. I already paid you guys I when I bought your cameras like just make the app good I don't know why you need to try and squeeze extra money.

super annoying bug, whenever I try to click on one of my cameras with you the live feed it takes down my whole cellular data. when I'm just out of the home. me and no other apps are online anymore. it's like I put on airplane mode and it only happens when I try to view the live feed on these cameras 70% of the time. The issue is fixed when I turn on a VPN or even just tunnel the traffic of the app with something like pcapdroid.

I wish it had more device icons and a way to color-code on-grid and off-grid use. One immediate improvement they could make is to change the generic "Energy Monitoring" heading under "Show More" to the device name so we don't forget what we're looking at. The Energy and Power subheadings are sufficient on that screen.

camera is very good, easy to install and app is also very good. the only thing is that loop recording doesn't work. when I try to go another time of the day doesn't show anything. the only thing it records is detected events. so basically when you try to go like a random time in a day you just go to your detected events. so loop recording doesn't work. oh and also someone mentioned about downloading the clips. well I can't do that either, I only can screen record. I wish you fix them.
