Review: Good picture quality and sound easy to set up - Good camera good price at the time
Review: All you ever need from a security camera - I'm so very impressed with this camera. It's got some brilliant features and yet it's such a great price. It's the easiest thing ive ever set up in my life, once you have chosen your wi fi it pretty much sets itself up. I love the fact that the camera tracks and follows people and when it's dark 2 little spotlights come on so you can see in colour. The quality of the recording is brilliant and the audio is also very good. I have put a 128gb micro sd card in mine which I find is fine for the amount of recordings I get every day although you can have up to 500 gb. There's lots of options to choose from to tailor the camera to your specific needs. I'm so impressed with it I decided to buy another one for the other side of my bungalow, it's like having 2 mini robot security guards the way they move and look around 😁

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Good quality unit, great quality images.
*by G***Z on 11 June 2026*

This is my 4th Tapo unit purchase. Easy to install and connect via the Tapo app, high quality images. Don't forget that you will need an micro SD card if you want to be able to keep and review archive footage. I purchased a 512GB card which cost more than the camera!
