Ratings and reviews

The camera is nice enough, I just wish the detection worked a bit better and zones worked for all activity types. Currently I get notifications whenever my neighbors come and go because I can't set zones for people detection, only generic motion. Last night the camera kept detecting my car in the carport. It hadn't moved, but I got a notification every time a bug flew by.

This app (so far) is excellent. And ALL the associated Tapo products work great. I'm beyond impressed with how easy it was to set everything up and I'm very pleased I selected Tapo as the product line for my home. I've got motion sensors and cameras (and the hub of course) and everything works flawlessly (and it all works with Alexa). I rarely write a product review but this line of products earns it

Cameras are great quality, app is completely useless. No point in having the awesome cameras if we can't view them. The app stops every 2 or 5 minutes saying no activity, sometimes stays on for an hour. No consistency at all. And yes, we do have all cameras and devices on the same network. This app is awful!
