Ratings and reviews

Review is for smart lights. App has limited capabilities. simple things like customizations for groups are not available. So if you have 4 lights set up in a hallway to provide soft lighting, you can customize each lights default colors and brightness. But for the group, only a few default colors are available, and they are not customizable. So you have to tweak each light individually. Also, it would be nice to be able to enter the value of the color so there is no guesswork as you customize.

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.

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!
