TP-Link Tapo

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!

I don't recommend it if you are actually using it for security. The notifications I get are delayed sometimes as much as 3-5 minutes or more. So, for security, it's maybe too little, too late. I tried all the suggested so-called fixes, updates, etc, and nothing changed. If a person stands there long enough it catches up and then shows real time, but, again, that wouldn't help if it were a security matter. All my other equipment working through the WiFi; seems to work fine.

I love the app. it has a lot of features that I like, and isn't difficult to use once you learn to use it. I can set a range with the camera's view (a subsection within the view) for the motion detector to set off an alarm, so I use it as a bed alarm for my elderly father. For example, I can basically have the alarm go off if there is motion beyond 1 or more inches from, or before the beds end. With God's help through Messiah, it can help me run to him if he tries to get up.
