TP-Link Tapo

It is cool to be able to see through the cameras in the app, and have two way audio. Setup and use is reasonably easy. However, the app contains ads, can be laggy and unresponsive even on a modern phone, and the subscription price increases without notice.

This camera and app are pretty good. I like that they added zone detection for different notification types and that it is easy to customize this. I have to turn off general activity notify because it goes off when bugs fly by. But works well for people, animals and cars. My notifications randomly stop for a few days but then work again. Another new problem is if someone walks directly under the cam, it stops tracking ( it uses to track there)

I was very happy with my tapo camera at first, video quality is great but the tech is VERY flawed. It stops recording when there is still motion, the beta geotracking doesn't work so you have to record all the time or remember to turn it on when you leave & even using the cloud it randomly will no longer record so you can't ever count on it to be working. I haven't changed anything and am literally jumping up and down in front of the camera and I can see myself but it won't record. Disappointing
