   10/10 Recommend
   We bought a camera to monitor our vehicles while we were on a short vacation. The camera was easy to set up, we have it mounted outside and we live in Michigan. So far it’s held up and if anything weather related damage occurs I’ll be sure to add an update to this review on how it occurred. The image is great during day and night, the audio is good as well. It picks up car headlights from quarter mile out and we can hear the cars whooshing. If anyone is up close to the camera their details are crisp and sounds is very clear. We added a SD card and it just records over itself on a loop. You can download clips that you want and the rest just gets written over, length of time depends on the amount of GBs on your SD card. It can run without any backup to the cloud or SD storage added just for live monitoring purposes. We added another for inside the house just because the clarity and sound was great, the motion detector is sensitive, and we get notifications on our phones if movements or a person is detected. You can go into privacy mode when you want to stop viewing. Great quality and great price!

   Very inexpensive, but effective!
   Inexpensive and extremely simple to set up. Lightweight and not horribly ugly. Use as basic home security, baby monitor, whatever. The app is pretty intuitive and hasn’t given any issues. Decent video and sound quality. Detection is fine, but often detects the dog as a human… not a big deal for my use case. My main praise is how inexpensive it is. I really like these cameras.

   Great value and awesome quality
   This baby works well and has a great picture quality. I bought this in order to keep an eye on my furbaby. The motion detection works well but scared me a few times when it said person detected. My dog was on the top part of the couch and I literally thought someone had entered my house. But figured out it was just him. It has a good range of recording capabilities The design is small and easily fits on my TV stand. We had a mini earthquake enough to shake it off the stand and it did not crack or scratch the lens. You can tap to talk or call and speak to your dog, cat, partner, child, bird or whatever you use it for. I check in on my dog often and even show ppl what he is doing. A few of my coworkers requested me to send them the item and they purchased it for their pets as well. Most of the time he is sleeping. You can also take a picture. I opt not to subscribe to offer of saving the recordings on a chip or sending it to my cloud. You do have to reset it every 45 days if you do not subscribe but for me that is not a big deal I am saving money. I am using it to make sure my furbaby is ok I do not need a history of recording him sleeping or playing with his toys while I am working. Great purchase, quality and value for your money. It has slightly increased in price since I have purchased it but still reasonable and affordable. The pic on my review is my dog on my couch when the person detection went off.

   Best budget Camera on the Market and why!
   This camera is amazing! The quality is 1080p exactly as described, and the night vision is very good. I turned off every single light in my room, including my monitors, and it still showed amazing definition. I could even read my posters on the wall! It’s so easy to set up, all I have to do is plug it in, connect to the app, and DONE! It has no lag, but it has the slightest of delays. And it can track motion from far away! The only minor inconvenience is that the app does have subscription-only features. Besides that, I don’t think that there is a better budget camera than this!

   Great quality for price
   Awesome quality little Wi-Fi camera. We use this on our snake tank to monitor throughout the day. I love that you can get on through an app in your phone and you can even talk through the camera 20 pets inside and hear any noise that is going on inside the home also. It was super easy to assemble and came with the kit to install. Haven’t had any issues. There’s not a lot of lag. I love that. It has a motion detection feature. Overall, it’s just a really good quality product for the price.

    Primera vez que compró cámaras de seguridad. Este modelo (C 100) y esta marca (TAPO) me pareció muy bueno, no conozco otras, por lo bien que se ve la imagen y sus funciones:un zoom muy bueno; audio bidireccional puedo hablar con alguien cerca de la cámara en mi casa estando yo fuera y lejos; me envía notificaciones de movimiento que puedo configurar a mi gusto o desactivar; la app TAPO es gratis y guarda el red de internet y la clave de modo que no hay que buscarla ni escribir la clave cuando añadimos una nueva cámara; la configuración de las cámaras es muy sencilla; la app permite la opción de guardar en la nube lo que la cámara graba o se puede grabar en micro SD (hasta 128 gb) en la cámara; la configuración de una nueva cámara es muy rápida (6 minutos me llevó y 2 minutos es de la actualización del firmware y se hace sola) gracias a que la app guarda los datos de la red; trae tornillos y un papel marcado donde se deben hacer los hoyos para colocarla; una vez colocada en la pared se puede dirigir hacia donde uno quiere.Es una cámara fija, no sigue el movimiento, pero eso era lo que yo quería. Algo sencillo y económico que me permitiera ver en tiempo real lo que pasa en el interior de mi casa.Sugerencias/Tips:1.- Primero configuren cada cámara y luego las colocan. El celular debe estar cerca de la cámara durante la configuración. Pueden usar el mismo cable a toma corriente para todas las cámaras durante la configuración de cada una.2.- Desconecten la(s) cámara(s) que ya configuraron cuando configuren una nueva.En resumen me parece que el beneficio que se obtiene supera el precio que se paga!Ahora falta conocer su funcionamiento a largo plazo…
