Ratings and reviews

Something about your Home Map changes nearly every time the app updates which is beyond frustrating. So be prepared to regularly redraw No-Go Zones and Virtual Walls, reposition the Virtual Furniture, and resize the Rooms too (which is not easy). And even if the Map is still the same, the distance the vacuum will go over room lines can noticeably change with app updates. Zero consistency. So even though you don't have to physically vacuum anymore, you will still have digital chores to do.

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!
