2K Outdoor Wired Pan/Tilt Security Wi-Fi Camera, 360° View, Motion Tracking, Works w/Alexa & Google Home, Color Night Vision, Free AI Detection, Cloud & SD Card Storage(up to 512GB), Tapo C510W

I’ve been using the Tapo C500 outside for a bit now, and overall I’m impressed. The pan and tilt feature is the real star here. Being able to rotate the camera and see everything around it from the app means there are basically no blind spots, which is exactly what I wanted for outdoor security. Motion tracking works well and follows movement smoothly without being jittery. The only issue with emotion tracking is that if something moves too quickly through its field of view it isn't able to keep up with it. But that's really only a problem if you're trying to keep up with every car that passes your house. Night vision is clear enough to easily see what’s going on after dark, and setup was straightforward. I also like that you can customize the light and sound alarms if you want an extra layer of “hey, you’re being watched.” It connects on 2.4GHz Wi-Fi only, which is fine for most setups, just something to be aware of. I'm still on my 30-day trial of the paid service. I'm pretty sure we're going to go ahead and pay for it. The service seems solid and I've had zero issues with it thus far. Not to mention the price is very reasonable. Overall, this feels like a solid, reliable outdoor camera with good features and strong coverage for the price.

Very impressed with the quality of these cameras they work very well. I have used AM crest security cameras for years and I’m just tired of having to deal with them and their apps that they have. There’s always issues with the apps whereas with these they’re super easy to set up absolutely no problems with the apps at all I have a total of 11 cameras, and I am switching all of my cameras over to these and throw the other ones away, buy them you’ll be happy you did

Very good camera, excellent quality and easy to use I bought this Tapo camera for the outside and the truth surprised me for good. The installation was very simple and the app is intuitive. The 1080P image looks very clear both day and night, and the night vision works perfectly. I really like that it has a 360° view and movement tracking, since you don't miss anything that happens around. Alerts arrive quickly on the cell phone and AI detection works quite well, without the need to pay for a subscription. It works without problems with Alexa and Google Home, and the storage is practical. For the price it has, it offers a lot of functions. Without a doubt, it is an excellent option for home security. I totally recommend it.

The picture quality is good, the camera itself is great, but connecting with Google Home was not real for me, it doesn’t not stream live feed and even that the apps said they were linked, I never got to see the cameras on the Google home. :(

I just put another one of these cameras in my cart. I've had one up since July and it still works perfectly. I do not use the cloud service, instead in installed a memory card. Super easy setup. It follows people, animals, bugs lol, it will pan and follow just about everything while recording. Super easy to view and watch recordings. I can download any recording with a quick click of a button to my phone. If I leave a review, it is either awful or I like it that much. If you're looking for a inexpensive, very good quality camera, I recommend this camera. Also, it paired easily with my alexa so I can use the camera with the app or alexa. This camera has been through snow, sleet, storms, not a single issue. When the camera is tripped, it records and puts it in a quick and simple location. Open it and with the memory card I can see any movements for the last 24 hours. You don't have to watch tons of video. From there, click download. That easy and you do not need another app or program to watch it and you do not have to spend a single penny, unless you want to pay for the cloud service which I cannot tell you how much that is. Get this camera, you won't be disappointed.

We love every single one of our Tapo cameras! This one in particular is on our back porch. Downloading and accessing the app is super easy. Installing the camera is just as easy. The included 2 way talk and nighttime spot light features are just an added benefit for an already great camera. The view from the app is very clear, day or night. I ran the wire along side our sliding glass door so it’s hidden by the doorframe. Install took a total of 5 minutes from start to finish. The overall size of the camera once installed is sleek and not extremely noticeable. The pan and tilt option in the app is so convenient and makes the camera stand out above our other Tapo cameras. I’ve included views from my app so you can see how cool it is that you can set views with your camera that you can go back to when you’re in the app. Overall, for the functionality and quality this camera is 100% worth every penny I spent!

Update 9 mths later this camera has worked great I wish it could be wired in, but it requires an outlet to plug it in, I still have 2 of these at the back of my home and it catches most everything outside and the address card works great as well, you can takes pictures and video of the video itself and it has a faster speed to review all the action quicker, it works well remotely when I am away to see what's going on at home, this has provided me peace of mind while I have been away a lot this year. Highly recommended, I wish it had a light that would stay on like my other camera I ordered from another company but overall it's really great! These have been great cameras they do lose connection freq but usually will connect back on there own sometimes, I like the functional saved position options also the talk back features capture features like most cameras now but these are good with clarity at nite I can't get the flood lights to work. Overall happy with them the sd card captures footage and loops Recommended I'm confused, I thought I was buying a hard wired camera that I could hard wire into my porch light for now to use as security camera, and it came with a plug ?? How is this an outdoor camera as instructions say to not get plug wet etc and should be plugged in indoors, Disappointed that there are no bright flood lights like my other cameras from other brands less expensive, and it does not seem to have a color option and seems to be only black and white, the nite vision was ok and has a good distance however the alarm strobe light is useless imo as it is a tiny light that blinks, the alarm on high volume is too low, the adapter plug has a 10ft thin cord it has sd option like all the other cameras do and 2 way talk, it says, have not tested that yet, but cannot find a color option all cameras have this now so I do not see why this one doesn't, I am going to test it for the next 25 days and if it doesn't function well will return it I guess, but I wish they would be more clear about how it is called an outdoor camera yet instructions says not to get adapter wet, set up was not difficult, they all work the same, the Alexa app has it listed as Alexa compatible and I linked it to the app, but overall compared to one I bought that has dual cameras on one for only 16.00 I do t think it is better or worth the extra $ It doesn't detect things as I think it should we tested it multiple times, I put sensitivity up high . Either way it's a disappointment when I thought I could wire it into my porch light wiring. So far it is working well has good night vision and even tho black and white and has no flood lights etc it serves it's purpose and tracks motion very well .

recieved it open box, missing parts, you know me im cheap! But this device would not connect to my wifi. I know a lot of computer things....this camera only works on its own app, but i wanted it on my PC, (just like i have put 9 other cameras on my PC with no problems. The app would not load in my cell phone....it would not work on my PC without "bluestacks", ( a program that allows android apps to work on your pc. I spent time in my router troubleshooting the ports acess for this camera, and none of them work at all...when they should have. So, it's ok to download the app to your newer phones, and it should work , but it was just not for me, connection issues even to my phone it would not work..but my phone is older, and i didn't think it was a plus for me to have to go buy a new phone, i just don't have the money....i did everything the instructions told me to do, which is not much, because this camera is to auto configure for you after you get its app, but to no avail and 4 days of doing my best to make it work, and it did not like me for some reason... and just to let you know i owned a computer repair business for several years, so something was wrong with the cameras to not be able to connect. Software spacific camera. Don't let this review leave anyone out in the cold... i bought these cameras because they are so versital if they work. it is just one case they didn't , but i dont have the time to keep working on how to get them to connect. But they are a great camera.. don't hesitate to buy them.. cheaply priced, sharp picture, options are fantastic. Buy one today if you have a newer cell phone. I did return these to amazon. (wish I didn't have to). :( :)
