I am very satisfied!
Positives:
1. I didn't need to drill holes in walls and run cables since they communicate wirelessly and have batteries.
2. I then added a third camera from the same series, so I have 3 cameras in one app.
3. Very good resolution (both day and night) and many options for when to activate and record. For example, you can set it to record short one-minute clips only when it detects motion.
4. Convenient app, easy settings.
5. Even if someone breaks the camera, the recorder (control hub) is inside the house, so that's where the SD card is, meaning you don't lose the footage.
6. I connected the control hub directly with Ethernet to the router, so I believe I have a more stable connection, but someone can place it somewhere and connect via Wi-Fi.
7. The Tapo app connects satisfactorily with Samsung's SmartThings, so I managed to access the cameras from both the computer and the Samsung TV.

Negatives:
1. If the cameras are activated frequently and record, the batteries need charging approximately every 3 months. I solved this by getting a solar collector.
2. While the app is very helpful, if you connect to the cameras via SmartThings or Google Home, your options are limited; mainly, you just go in to see something live.
3. I would like there to be other models in the same series of cameras with a hub (e.g., smaller ones for inside the house in case someone has a child or cameras that rotate)

failure. the camera only records for 10sec and most of the time it doesn't catch my cats when they come down from their tree to go eat. I have 2 cameras from the same company which are perfect. but this particular model is a big failure

Edit: 24/6/25 so guys, my cat had surgery, and I left her on the bed to sleep, I put the camera on the bookshelf to look at the bed with the cat so I could be away from home for 2 hours. so the cat took off the bandage and left the room and the camera didn't catch any movement. I'm talking with all notifications enabled for animals, cars, people and in broad daylight!!! if I had known I wouldn't have bought it

    The Hub is not waterproof and must be powered indoors. It is also placed between the cameras and the Access Point, which requires good wireless communication. The TAPO app is good.

  • This review is about the number of cameras: 2 Cameras

    I got 5 cameras to monitor the house all around the outside!!! They work perfectly, very good resolution both day and night!! It recognizes everything! The only negative is that it recognizes things at a relatively short range and not over 4 meters!! They are rain-resistant, checked! Also, the battery runs out much faster than the manufacturer claims (of course, I use all the functions), but the problem is solved if you buy an extra battery.

    Good video quality, even at night. Average sound quality but I think it still covers most people. Easy installation and user-friendly apps. The hub should ideally be placed no more than 4-5 meters away. The battery is excellent in standby, meaning if recording is not frequently activated due to motion detection, it indeed lasts for months. Although I am quite satisfied, I give 4 stars because I would like the option for even greater sensitivity in motion detection (e.g., to pick up even the movement of plants from the wind or cats which it rarely detects).

    This review is about the number of cameras: 2 Cameras

    As cameras, they are mediocre.
    I will mention one main disadvantage that I identified.
    They do not record continuously. They only record clips of a few seconds.
    If you want continuous recordings, you need to go for another solution.

    Update
    After one month of use, what I noticed is that the AI often fails to decide what to record.
    The animal detection does not work properly. It records 1 out of 10 cases.
    I had to install a second camera right below to avoid missing recordings

    I bought the camera set with the hub and the solar panel. The image quality is very good and the installation is simple, just like the whole tapo system. It also has a very good range, I have the camera on the rooftop without any disconnections!

    Very good cameras, relatively easy installation and connection to the network, and their app is also quite good. They can pick up wifi through a thick wall, but they are within 5 meters from the router and their hub. They also have a siren like their hub. They are worth their money.

    This review is about the number of cameras: 2 Cameras

    Excellent. They capture a very good signal with 2 walls between the hub and the camera. The battery after 3 months of use on the camera that is at the entrance and has at least 8 activations per day is at 58%, and the other one on the balcony with more activations is at around 48%.
