Ratings and reviews

Not a good experience anymore. the app used to work well however I recently got a td12 doorbell and it constantly fails to ring my phone. the troubleshooting does not work, and I've tried everything at this point. my wife also has the app on her phone and again nothing but intermittent alerts, as if the app mind of it's own. latest issue is the doorbell rings no one is there. all directions on the troubleshooting have been followed the app is up to date as is the doorbell. really not very good.

The app is relatively well designed, though it's confusing what the geofencing actually does. It's random in if it actually notices if I've left home, but even when it does it still seems to leave it in home not away mode. Also got an additional camera for outside and the settings for motion / person never remembers I turn them off and line crossing and area intrusion I turn on with a set line and is removed again the next day. Guess another return to Amazon.

I feel like this is false advertising. My C425 cameras advertised that they are compatible with Google Home but it appears they are not viewable from in the app. This means that if you have cameras from multiple manufacturers you are unable to view them all in one place. Unfortunately, this is a deal breaker and I will be returning these cameras. Also, linking the tapo app caused all my TP-Link light switches to become unreachable, I had to add them all back manually.
