Easy to Install and Works Perfectly
I’m really impressed with this Tapo floodlight camera. Installation was simple, even for someone like me who isn’t super handy. The solar feature is a huge plus because I don’t have to worry about wiring or changing batteries. The video quality is crystal clear, even at night, and the dimmable floodlight is bright enough to light up my driveway without being harsh. The app is super user-friendly and makes it so easy to check live footage, get alerts, and review recorded clips. Motion detection works perfectly and hasn’t given me any false alarms so far. It gives me real peace of mind knowing I can see everything outside in real time from my phone. Definitely worth it if you want a reliable, high-quality home security camera.

Great camera
This will be my 4th these cameras. I’ve been very pleased with their quality and performance. Install is easy enough but the challenging part for me has been the need to install power at most of my locations. It’s been worth the effort as the combination of cameras provides great coverage. The resolution is very good, even when selecting lower resolution options. This camera sees well in the dark and the detection modes afire effective. I use a 128gb chip for storage and it holds months of events. The app interface works well for notifications and camera selection and control. I am sold on this camera and brand and will

Great product. Super easy to install.
Easy to install and is working as advertised. I will continue to purchase additional cameras as I really like these. The 4K makes a BIG difference. The spotlight feature was better than expected. Has a lot of programmable features like image labeling, notification of certain triggers (vehicle, pet, person, etc.). Wish the camera supported PoE but this is easy to add via external device (Amazon ASIN B07L7QK5N3). The mount is something to be desired and not that easy when mounting to a single gang j-box. I purchase blank wall plates and drill holes for the camera cables. The PTZ is wide range, accept I wish it would tilt more in the upward direction. Here is a picture of this camera mounted on the eve of a 2nd story home. It will not look above the roof tops.

Annoying AC Adapter but otherwise great cameras
First I want to get the biggest negative of this camera out of the way: THE AC ADAPTER! This camera takes 12V/1A of power (not 5V/2A as listed on the Amazon page as of this date) and it comes with a wall wart adapter. This isn't bad for an indoor camera, but for an outdoor camera this is a terrible decision because it does not fit inside weatherproof wall boxes if the socket is vertical (outlet is horizontal). They could have made a higher quality adapter that was more compact and could fit inside them, or they could have made the adapter able to rotate 90°, but they didn't. Now, to the cameras themselves. Installation is decently easy, drill 4 holes according to the template and screw in the detachable base, then attach the camera to the base with two small screws. I wish there were a small clip or other retaining mechanism because the camera does wobble -slightly- when you move it, but it doesn't in practice. Connection to the Tapo app is easy since it can detect and connect to the camera via Bluetooth, no having to connect to its own Wi-Fi and then swap over, and since the Tapo app saves your Wi-Fi credentials it's basically one tap to set it up. Signal reception is also quite good. Through multiple interior walls and exterior brick wall it's connected to my router (Ubiquiti Dream Router 7) at 2.4ghz at -60dbm. The quality of the video is excellent, it is 4K after all, and faces can clearly be made out by photos at at least 30 feet, things like license plates and larger objects farther. At night it's about the same. I haven't turned on the AI Face Recognition so I can't attest to that. Person tracking generally works well, but if they get to the side and then jump back it will fool the camera and it'll stick there, something that should be fixed in firmware. There also seems to not be an option to suppress notifications for a certain time like there is with Kasa cameras, so turning privacy mode on when you're, say, mowing the yard is essential. Voice communication has about a 3-4 second lag time, pretty typical for IP cameras, but the quality is good enough for clear back and forth communication even with middling cell reception. Overall I have nothing terrible to say about these cameras. The AC adapter is extremely annoying, and the attached ethernet plug is pretty meaningless for home users, but if you're looking to upgrade from older cameras to something that's newer, or migrating from Kasa to Tapo, it'd be difficult not to recommend these.
