The Cameras are very good and easy to set up. However, whenever the Apps hanged and when we uninstall and reinstall again, this Apps works again but those Clips which we viewed and saved it would be all gone. It would be good if there is a way to move or re-save them out before uninstall.
Won't stop pestering with useless notifications cameras keep getting locked up and needing to be reset and after a few minutes the feed needs to be reconnected. Sensitivity on away from home is way too high, as it tells you if the sun moves.
I am using the camera for a couple of years. Recently about 2 months it is very difficult to view the camera, it keeps on trying to connect. Previously it would connect in few seconds, now it may take 5 to 10 minutes, and may not connect. Very disappointing.
Stopped working on all my Android devices when mobile. Where is the email notification on motion or audio :/ was told it had this and auto record when motion detected but it doesn't. Device and software are pointless. Hopefully I'll find a app I can use with the camera :(
(updated July 2020). Version 3.1.15 works ok but there is an issue with the detection system (using the NC450 camera). When in Away mode it detects movement initially but if you do have motion immediately after the first detection the notifications do not appear. Also its not compatible with Alexa (Update Dec 2018). version 3.1.9 Works without any issues. Very easy setup. Have been using/testing it for more than 1.5 year
I have been using TP-LINK tpCamera for the past week and I am very disappointed with the app. The free cloud service for life is a great feature, but the app crashes frequently and the live video feed is often choppy and unreliable. I also find the app difficult to navigate, with many unnecessary features and confusing menus. I would not recommend this app to anyone looking for a reliable and user-friendly video monitoring solution.
Had made improvement...can be view with local data...if you are oversea you cant see anything...plus your connection to camera is slow...super slow...that i have to switch it off and on again...can be better...i bought anothee camera with the function like half the price and is better in every aspect...
Buy cheap buy twice. This camera and app has rarely ever worked consistently, more often than not now the app fails to load the live stream. I wouldn't recommend anyone buy a TP camera. TP products also seem to have increased in price recently, taking the one reason you'd buy them away. Switching to hive.
Unreliable. When I first bought my camera (November 2018), this app was amazing. Now it is very frustrating to use. I try to use this as a baby monitor, as that is what the camera was purchased for. Most of the time the app either takes forever to load the camera or it just disconnects. Not good for a baby monitor at all. Also, the app asks if I want to keep watching, and cuts the audio while the popup is active. Why ask that question? If I didn't want to keep watching I would turn the app off.
I have been using the TP-Link tpCamera app for a few weeks now, and I am not impressed. The app is slow and often crashes, which makes it difficult to use. Additionally, the free cloud service for life is not as advertised, as I have had to pay for additional storage. I would not recommend this app to anyone looking for a reliable way to view their cameras.
