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

Goodbye Wyze, hello Tapo!
I’ll be writing this on all the Tapo cameras I’ve recently purchased. (4x C110, 2x C210, 2x C520WS) These are flawless, amazing, and so far ahead of Wyze it’s not even funny. They are massively affordable, truly need no subscription, have fantastic features in their app, can record locally to an SD card; everything you would want. Coming from Wyze (see more below), I didn’t know that cameras were supposed to act like this. I assumed, at Wyze prices, that I was getting what I paid for. But when I finally had enough constant stress and spent the money to change to Tapo… my life has been changed. Seriously, I probably added years to my life not being so stressed out all the time because my cameras never, ever worked right. These do, and I cannot say it enough times… if you’re currently using Wyze then get one of these. Use it for a week side-by-side and tell me what you think. Super light, have a few of mine mounted with ‘hard plastic velcro’ (3M Dual Lock). Setup is fast and easy, and works right away. Don’t have to do it over and over again (Wyze). Clarity is superb - 1440p quality. Night vision is phenomenal. Don’t really care about ‘color’ night vision - but my outdoor ones do have it. And one of the best parts is Tapo is part of TP-Link. What does that mean? TP-Link has been around for a very long time, and they specialize in networking equipment, LoL. So yeah, if you want a reliable camera on your network, who better to trust than a networking company. TLDR: Don’t waste your time on any other brand. Buy these. I promise you won’t regret it. About Wyze: If you’re like me and never wanted to spend thousands on home monitoring and security, then you may have stumbled upon Wyze cameras. At first, they were amazing - very affordable with no subscription necessary. And they worked. Over time, that changed drastically as they ventured into making everything else on the planet instead of focusing on their roots (cameras). They funded that stuff by changing to a subscription policy. And in their haste had multiple security breaches and problems such as other people viewing cameras that aren’t theirs. This is of course while the software and hardware has become so incredibly bad that they’re unusable. I mean, they actually do not function 92% of the time. Whether it’s freezing, not connecting, stuttering so bad that it looks like a PowerPoint presentation, app for closing, etc.

The Tapo security camera
delivers excellent image quality for its price, with sharp 2K/QHD resolution and reliable night vision. Setup is quick through the Tapo app, and the motion detection works accurately without too many false alerts. The pan/tilt models offer great coverage, and overall build quality feels solid. A great value option for home security.”

Excellent buy good price !
Excellent camera I'm impressed with the picture quality and the firmware Tapo is doing a good job however the home and away mode is a good idea however it resets all the settings to default.also from a theoretical perspective one should be able to turn off the motion setting because even at the lowest sensitivity even the leave trigger his event .night vision is excellent the 4 reset scenes for the pan is great I can quickly pan a full 180 with these presets. I really put this cam through the paces .though the rain without any major issue only bit of haze on the lens .As the sun came out it quickly evaporated I am impressed with the calling feature and even spoke to the Amazon delivery guy remotely s he delivered another package. Tapo's team is doing an excellent job with the cloud software it can only get better as te S.W version upgrade I decided to go with the brand because I believe I will be supportive with updates etc Andrew A Barbados

I'm in love with TP-Link company & products, Internet Secure Functionality!
I already own one of these cameras, they are very nice quality, stood the test of time and functionality, i will be buying more. TP-Link is a internet Safe Product, you can trust them unlike those who are upset that TP-Link will not submit to their backdoor access programming. Internet Secure Functionality

Great TP LINK 2K QHD pan/tilt security camera
Love my TP Link 2k QHD outdoor security camera. Works great! I can see different parts of property as it turns or what they call pans. Pretty good view sharper than most. Has a slight 2 second delay when viewing yet fixed that by adding an extender to my wifi which TP LINK has now 2 second delay is gone. Love having it...purchased 3 others now a fly i can see getting into my yard!!

Very good for the price and better than the C425
I bought this as a second camera in addition to my Tapo C425 and in my opinion, it‘s better than the C425 for the comparable aspects. Connectivity is very good and responsive is fast. The C425 lags and sometimes looses connection. I must add that both cameras are at the same location just 2 meters apart. The WiFi mesh AP (also TP-Link) is just 20 meters away. The night vision (infrared) gives also a better image than the C425. In general, although both have 2K UHD, IMO, the 520ws has the better image quality. Besides, the 520ws has some features the 425 doesn‘t but could have. For example the option to switch to color view in night upon detection and back to IR afterward. The only drawback with the 520ws is the missing internal battery. That‘s why I have a 425 at the same location for backup in case of power outtage. At the end, I like the 520ws as it has good connectivity, the image quality is good (could be better) and the 360 pan/tilt head with auto tracking works well. Installation was super easy too.
