Pros & Cons

Pros

To sum things up, it works! For the price, this does the job well. If you're looking for an affordable camera to keep tabs on a baby or your property then i think this one is a great deal. It’s a nice option.

It can be switched over to night vision in low light conditions or do so automatically if set to auto. Picture quality was very good, well within expectations for a camera in this price range. The only negative is that this camera doesn't have any abi...  Read More

Set up is fairly easy; you download an app (ios or android) which walks you through the configuration. First you need to attach this camera to your router using the cable. The pictures and videos are stored within the app itself.

Tp-link camera is a good choice for basic home monitoring. The coolest features are the wi-fi and smart phone access. This gives you remote access to the camera as well as the ability to receive notifications of events. It also tells you the camera mo...  Read More



Cons

No extra mounting hardware, just the default base. No meaningful error, no error code. Tp-link chose to connect to aws cloud servers using non-standard ports.

This camera constantly goes offline and the only way to get it back online is to reset it by unplugging it and then plugging it back in. The problem is that it needs to be reset so often that it is basically useless.

In the meantime, it is hard to recommend this. Kudos to amazon for making the return so easy. Returned for a refund.

I had the illusion i resolved this one day by unplugging it from the wall and plugging it back in.

This simple, inexpensive indoor camera is no frills, but that's just what i needed.


I paid 20 bucks for this camera.


That being said: it's an inexpensive camera.

Shipping


Some took nearly a day before i got them.

Packaging/appearance


Setup was easy, and from opening the package to watching it on my phone was maybe 20 minutes.


Box states ( and amazon) that it will send alerts to email but i cant find anywhere in the directions or in the app setting on ...  Read More

Competitiveness


The interface is very similar to any tp-link router and has many features.


The only negative is that this camera doesn't have any ability to pivot, and the field of view is narrower then some competitors.


Picture quality and usage:i found the picture quality pretty decent (twice as good as the lorex ping) and it’s ability to see i...  Read More
