5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent value for a very versatile and feature packed remote camera.
These cameras are excellent! The price paid is minimal compared to the total amount of functionality.
They do track objects that trigger them, maybe not as smoothly as higher priced options (I don’t know, have not tried others).
For the mobility of relocating the camera by simply picking it up and finding a new location, it’s massively more practical than the full wired systems available. Until you know where you want those more expensive cameras to be permanently installed, these cameras are a great alternative! Also, great for keeping a watch on who’s passing by your place at window-level.

Wired cameras have to be mounted high enough to be safe from getting ripped down by trespassers, these see through windows during the day very well. Interior night vision is top notch, seeing outside through windows at night is more difficult.

With the sensitivity turned up, every time a tree branch blows it triggers the cameras. This leads to near constant triggering of alerts during the late Spring, Summer and early Fall.
And, lots of recordings every day. So, you need to use the App to designate areas to watch for motion, or it’ll drive you nuts and frustrate you. To the point that you may start to ignore the notices.

The App provides great control, and allows remote on/off, sensitivity setting changes, you can set to record noise triggers or remove that, set trigger zones, move the camera via the App, and other adjustments.
I have noticed that the App actually does offer more functions, and work a little more smoothly, through my phone than my very new tablet. No idea why, it should be the same App for both platforms, no?
But, of course watching the playback on the larger screen is so much better, so I do use both.

The service plan allows storage of recordings from up to 10 cameras for $10 per month. Much more cost effective than others I looked into.

The cons:
Can’t see thru glass with the built-in lights, at night. Reflection off the glass blinds the camera.
That should have been obvious to me from the start, since these are designed for indoor use only. but I had naively hoped for better night vision performance.
So, if looking out a window, get a motion-activated light to trigger so you can see what’s going on out there. Just don’t set it up where it will shine in your bedroom and wake you up.

App functionality on phone is higher than on tablet, no idea why. You will want to have the App on at least a phone, if not both.

Sometimes, some cameras will trigger, others won’t, for the same event.
Deer moving around the house sometimes are ignored by one camera, recorded by another. Also happened that another outdoor camera from another manufacturer recorded a vehicle trespassing, these cameras didn’t. Had to adjust the sensor sensitivity, but I think the baseline software settings should be set to trigger sooner on vehicles.

Branches moving on the breeze cause constant notices, even with Person Detection Mode activated.
A more elaborate software system might offer better monitoring, but for the pro systems, this requires fully wired systems with dedicated main recording components/control systems . Much more expensive, and I can’t afford to open the walls throughout the property.

Overall, these are great! I have bought several models, both the fixed ones and the bigger moving ones. All look great when set to the highest recording resolution, seem to last a long time, and are a breeze to set up or switch from spot to spot.
I very much recommend this camera! I also hope the manufacturer can produce a 4K version.

5.0 out of 5 stars Honestly, it’s great.
I have really appreciated this camera for monitoring my rescue dog while I’m working on separation anxiety training. You can adjust the angle remotely and it has great night vision, especially for the price.

My dog hates it for some reason, though, and even though I put the cord high out of her reach, when I was finally gone for 15m, she jumped on top of things and leaped in the air to tear it down. She managed to get through the cord in several spots so it doesn’t work anymore. Womp womp.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent Camera – LOVE IT
I love the camera the price was cheap, but the camera is high quality, it has motion, person and sound detection built into it it’s incredible. The camera can even follow a person based on motion detection (The motion following is ok though it doesent always follow. That feature needs a little work). The camera sends you push notifications when it detects something it can also store anything it detects to the cloud or sd card. Which is a huge plus. Additionaly The camera has sound and you can use it as an intercom VIA the app if you would like to do so. I love the camera one of the best purchases I have made on Amazon. The camera is worth every penny. shipping was fast and setting up the camera and app was easy. LOVE IT!!!

5.0 out of 5 stars This camera has crystal clear video
Overall, the Kasa Indoor Pan/Tilt Smart Security Camera impresses with its sleek design, advanced features, and reliable performance. Whether you’re monitoring your home while away or simply keeping an eye on your pets, this camera offers the functionality and convenience you need. With its competitive price point and comprehensive feature set, it’s undoubtedly a worthwhile investment for enhancing your home security setup.

4.0 out of 5 stars For the price, it’s good.
So, I do security cameras for other folks as part of my job, but I needed an inexpensive, basic camera for inside my own home. This camera does well. Noise and motion detection is good (sometimes too good – it catches reflections real easy!). Yes, you can hear the motor when it turns, so, a little less quality build encasing the motor, but for the price – hey, that’s reasonable (so 4 stars). The tracker gets bored quickly and resets to home. There are multiple features on this camera, like the patrol mode and zone monitoring that seem like they might be GREAT features. Frankly, I’m just too lazy to go through all the learning curves to deal with that (and the added features are not overly “user friendly” – and if that’s the case for me, that means it’s not pleasant for the average user, so a bonus, but a waste unless you want to take the time to learn it all). My living room is not large enough to need the full 360deg, and its noise detection can tell if someone’s coming from off-screen. It does recognize people (which substituted the patrol mode for me). Great for night vision. Not obnoxious in size. Not intrusive. It’s app is pretty basic – just like every other app out there but I DO like NO subscription fees just to “use” it (there may be some to store to the cloud?). It may have ads, but I haven’t noticed. I did buy my own SD card, got the class 10, 256 GB high fidelity card, and ran this at 2k. Quality was GREAT. I tried 1080. Quality was still amazing. I went down to the 720… and quality was STILL great (but not for face recognition in low light). I’m not looking more than 25 – 30 feet away and the details are MORE than sufficient, giving me even longer record times before it overwrites. It doesn’t always alert me on the app when it sees motion, that is touch and go? Maybe a network issue. I did have a 1-time loss of wifi with router at the very beginning, but that remedied itself. (and sometimes, it is slow to connect – but that is all network dependent, not necessarily the camera). Long story short – if someone’s breaking into your home, you want to know immediately. You want faces. And, you want to be able to report it. This does that and well enough for the price (in fact, it just beeped at me thru my phone while sitting at work and typing this). Again, it’s in the $30 – $40 range… so it’s not going to be “high class”. But, to get to that range, you’re “usually” jumping into the $200-1200+ per camera category, so… for my tight budget, no. It has some mounting options, nothing fancy (like all others in this price range). It’s corded, but you can always find solutions for that (and it’s not a hidden cam, so cord doesn’t really matter, and no battery powered cam will give you good, constant operations without fast draining). Funny note – it picked up motion on our TV screen while binging Supernatural! As an IT person who does camera set-up security, if you’re on a budget, I recommend this. I was going to get a Hiseeu cam because of their quality build, but honestly, the Kasa has audio detection, better audio quality, near the same range of vertical motion, does not have to be mounted up-side down (can sit on its base), is smaller / less obvious, does well at night, does lack the “emergency lights” option (unless I’m mistaken, someone please correct me), and has a “patrol” mode (which, if you’ve ever used 360 degree cameras, you suddenly realize that it can’t see someone coming from a blind spot and becomes obnoxiously useless without a patrol mode and/or audio detection) – and altogether, even tho the Hiseeu motor is quiet and the build is stronger (and it can pair with an NVR whereas I have no idea if the Kasa can), that STILL makes Kasa the better option for me (on a budget).

5.0 out of 5 stars Observing a Feral Mama Cat From A Far
I received the camera in a timely manner. I needed to have as little contact with a pregnant feral mama cat that was in the guest bathroom. Once she had her kittens, I needed to make sure she and the four kittens were safe. This camera is amazing! I can see if the mama cat is moving around, even in the dark. I love the microphone option where I can talk to her even when I am at work, using the app on my phone. I would recommend this to anyone who is fostering cats/kittens, in particular, when you need to watch them even when you are away from home. The camera can be portable and not fixed to one point to make it even more accessible for your needs.

5.0 out of 5 stars Super helpful to check on pets
I got two cameras to use when I was dog sitting two dogs that would be home alone with my dog (I already knew they got along so not out of concern but out of curiosity on how they’d spend their time). The cameras and app was super easy to set up and was very user friendly. I popped onto the app multiple times while out and about and loved being able to move the cameras to point to different areas of the house. It was like a scavenger hunt each time to find the dogs. I haven’t noticed the sound the camera makes when it moves but the dogs would always be starring at the cameras when I’d move them so there must be a slight sound. I tested the cameras at night and could easily see with the night vision. I also tried using the speaking feature with my fiance and he said he could clearly hear me and I was able to hear him respond / we had a short conversation. Great for making sure he got home ok when I stayed out. There are more features I still plan to test out – like setting the zones for the camera to quickly click on them- which I’ll get to eventually. I’m looking forward to using these when we go on vacation to have peace of mind. Overall highly recommend – they are great for the price.

5.0 out of 5 stars LOVE this product! Great for keeping an eye on our new pup!
Oh my goodness, I was SO stressed having to go back back to work with the new rescue pup (10 months, 40 pounds) who has extreme anxiety. I honestly was scurrying to find a small camera to keep an eye on her for her safety that would arrive fast – this product arrived with a day so I was so thankful.

Set up for two phones had me stuck for a few minutes, but I figured it out. I CAN NOT BELIEVE THE PRICE FOR THE QAULITY!!! We get alerts with motion, can track her, can speak to her clearly.. SUCH A HUGE RELEIF.

I truly recommend this product, it even has a feature to save your records if you insert a memory card. It was so easy to set up and I am so thankful for it!!!!

4.0 out of 5 stars Does not allow unlimited streaming
I was using this on the same network and after ten minutes received a notice that to continue streaming click continue.
I plan to replace about 20 cameras and refuse to click continue on each one.
There is a web page that states that if you are not on the same network, it will give you this notice.
I was on a Wi-Fi-only tablet with only the same network connected.
The power supply needs to be reworked, there is no way to have a longer connection without doing extension cords since it is a standard barrel charge port and not USB.
USB would make things easier, or at least offer a pigtail to convert it.
The Tapo app allows you to use both Tapo and Kasa whereas Kasa only allows Kasa brand.
I also wanted to share the cameras, but this would not work, as it is only offered with some cameras.
More than half of my cameras are outside, so the choices are limited, especially for Wi-Fi.
