5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent Camera

2026-01-31    -Jessica Morales

I absolutely love these cameras! Very easy to set up and have a wide view angle to capture more of an area. I also love how it has a crying baby feature letting me know if my child is crying while I’m in another room. It shows a live view and also any videos it has recorded. Best camera for the price. I use it for security in my home as well as to check in on kids and pets.

Buenísimo. Buenas calidad de imagen, muchos ajustes. Puedo acceder a ellas desde el 4g de mi teléfono al tiempo real. Pequeño. Buena app.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great camera for the price. No subscription.

I ditched my Yi cameras due to the issues with the app and the new requirement for subscription services. I purchased these and I couldn’t be happier with this purchase! The Tapo TP-Link 2K security camera delivers exactly what I was looking for: simplicity, clarity, and peace of mind—without locking me into a subscription.• Ease of Use: Setup was a breeze. The app walks you through everything step by step, and I had the camera up and running in minutes. Even if you’re not tech-savvy, you’ll find it straightforward.• Camera Clarity: The 2K resolution is outstanding. Day or night, the image quality is crisp and detailed, making it easy to see faces, license plates, or small movements. The night vision is surprisingly clear too.• No Subscription Required: One of the biggest selling points for me is that you can use all the essential features without paying monthly fees. Local storage options and free app controls mean you’re not tied to ongoing costs, which is rare in the security camera market.Overall, this camera combines high-quality performance with user-friendly design. If you want reliable home security without hidden fees, the Tapo TP-Link 2K is a fantastic choice.

Arrived promptly with USA plugs

Purchased single units previously all had Australian plugs, the price was quoted in AUD for this 4 pack so i made the assumption that Aussie plugs were fitted, Cameras are great but the plug issue is a bit of an inconvenience

Zuverlässige Kamera mit starker App und guter Aufnahmequalität

2026-01-13    -Marina

Ich nutze zwei dieser Kameras, um Innenbereiche zu überwachen, wenn ich nicht zu Hause bin. Die Bewegungserkennung funktioniert zuverlässig und Benachrichtigungen über die App kommen ohne Verzögerung an. Praktisch ist auch die Gegensprechfunktion, die sauber und klar arbeitet. Die Tapo-App ist übersichtlich aufgebaut und leicht zu bedienen. Die Aufnahmequalität der Kamera ist absolut in Ordnung für den Alltag. Ich habe eine 128-GB-Speicherkarte eingesetzt und nutze die Endlosaufnahme, sodass alte Daten automatisch überschrieben werden. Für mich deutlich praktischer und günstiger als der angebotene Cloud-Dienst. Verbindungsprobleme hatte ich bisher keine. Für den Preis bekommt man wirklich gute, stabile Technik. Uneingeschränkte Empfehlung.

Excellent indoor camera with lots of functions that aid in security and monitoring. Easy setup and app works well.

4.0 out of 5 stars Geofencing works but needs to be more flexible

2026-01-05    -Sashy

I’ve been using Eufy cameras for a few years, but their continued lack of working geofencing support made me decide to try Tapo. Long story short, yes Tapo’s geofencing works, but it’s a bit too limited in how it controls cameras. So I’ll keep my Eufy cameras for now, but also keep using this one single Tapo camera where I really need geofencing, limited or not.(Geofencing lets an app control devices automatically based on your location, for instance turning lights on when you arrive home).Setting the camera up in the Tapo app was easy, the video quality is good, and it records and notifies as expected.The camera itself looks like every other inexpensive home home security cam, except it’s the first I’ve seen that has a proprietary non-USB power cord and adapter. That means you can’t easily use a longer cord, and the black cord doesn’t blend in as well.Another difference from other similar cameras I’ve used is that if you designate areas in the camera view to ignore motion (“privacy zones”) those areas are also blacked out in live view and recording. I think that’s overkill.As I mentioned, I’m using the camera with the beta geofencing feature which so far is working reliably. But the camera’s smart actions for arriving and leaving are too limited.The only smart action control you have over the camera when you arrive or leave a location is to turn “privacy mode” on or off. When privacy mode is off, the camera records and notifies normally; but when it’s on, the camera is effectively shut off.I need a third option that’s not as drastic, where the camera keeps recording but it won’t notify me. That way when I’m home I wouldn’t get unwanted notifications, but if something happened in the middle of the night, it would still get recorded.(I know I could create another time-based smart action to turn off privacy mode at bedtime, but then I would start getting nuisance notifications again in the morning).Overall I think this is a good camera - but the app, although easy to use, is just a bit too limited in flexibility if you want home/away camera control. Hopefully Tapo will make improvements.

5.0 out of 5 stars The TP-Link Tapo 2K Indoor Camera: A Surprisingly Excellent Choice

2026-02-22    -technical-books

As someone who has delved into the world of home security cameras, purchasing and testing models from Meross, Ubiquiti, Nest, Ring, and others, I've encountered my fair share of unique challenges with each brand. I've even invested over $200 on some Ubiquiti cameras, all in the pursuit of finding the perfect balance of functionality, ease of use, and affordability. However, it wasn't until I came across the TP-Link Tapo 2K Indoor Camera that I felt I had found a device that stood out in the crowded market, especially for a very specific need: ensuring the safety and monitoring of my in-laws who have recently moved into an assisted living community.The aspect of this camera that immediately caught my attention was its affordability combined with its robust feature set, something I had begun to think was impossible to find. Unlike other systems that nickel and dime you for every additional feature, the TP-Link Tapo offers a comprehensive package without the need for a subscription service. This was particularly appealing as it enabled me to keep an eye on my in-laws' well-being without incurring ongoing costs.Installation and setup were astonishingly straightforward. I opted for a 256GB SD card, which was more than adequate for our needs and was incredibly easy to install and configure. This ease of setup is not something I can say for all the cameras I've tested in the past, where sometimes the setup process seemed almost deliberately complicated.The video quality is another point where the Tapo 2K Indoor Camera shines. It delivers crisp, clear images that make it easy to see what's happening, even from a distance. But perhaps the feature that sets it apart the most is the ability to playback footage remotely. This has given me peace of mind, knowing that I can easily check in on my in-laws at any time, from anywhere.Price-wise, the Tapo 2K is unbeatable. Considering the high costs of some competitors' cameras that still require additional outlays for full functionality, the value proposition of the Tapo 2K is clear. It's an affordable, effective solution for anyone looking to secure their home or, in my case, keep a watchful eye on loved ones in a care setting.In conclusion, the TP-Link Tapo 2K Indoor Camera has proven to be a little gem in a market saturated with overpriced and overcomplicated alternatives. Its combination of ease of use, excellent video quality, remote playback capability, and affordability make it a standout option. It's a purchase I've been thoroughly pleased with and would recommend to anyone in a similar situation or anyone looking for a reliable home security camera without unnecessary frills or expenses.
