Amazing product when seeking a high-tech security device without paying hundreds of dollars.
I have been more than an hour away as it works as expected. I enjoy the multiple options of how to be notified from motion, to sound and can see perfectly in the dark. I also enjoy that I can listen to what’s going on and have the option to communicate through the device.
You will need Wifi for it to operate, an app on your phone and it must be powered on. If your Wifi or power disconnects, it will attempt to reconnect automatically. To help identify the device with the wifi signals, you have the option to change its name to
Camera1 or any other custom name you desire.
It works with Alexa and can also control other Smart devices on the app if you have them. You have the option to take a screen shot of what you are viewing as its saves it in your records.
=CONS…but not a deal breaker for me=
It does not have the option to zoom in, but on your phone you can make the display into a full screen, and zoom in the LIVE footage while having the option to move the angles.
You do not have the option for the night mode, it does it automatically with the sensor of how dark the viewing is.
As the other reviews have mentioned, it may be a little confusing at first, but once you learn all the custom features its very easy to use.

I used this to keep an eye on my place during a recent trip and it was perfect. Unlike most cameras in this price range, this one lets you move it around to focus on anything you want. This is an invaluable feature.
Make sure you get an SD card. You’ll need it. You will NOT, however, need to subscribe to the cloud service that they offer for storage. Unless you’re concerned someone will run off with your camera (with the SD card in it), this thing will record constantly, or just when movement is detected, just fine using only the SD card and a mobile device.
I’m a fan of Kasa smart devices and this one doesn’t disappoint.

Setup of camera was pretty straight-forward. App is nice and simple. I needed something to replace my Wansview 720p that was tied with my Synology NAS for the 24/7 footage. I wanted one with a ethernet port, so I was looking at a Reolink, but oh well… TP-Link’s reputation is “decent”. It is losing one star for no ethernet port and an additional start because even with a 256gb sandisk $50 class 10 MicroSD card, 2k 24/7 footage shows me all kinds of errors, the camera freezes up, and goes offline for about 10 minutes. Putting this to 1080p solved my issue. Very odd. All in all, besides that, very good night quality faced out my windowsill at night, even with night vision off, it can actually see color at night on the street/driveway.

I have Wyze and Nest cameras and didn’t want to pay extra for another subscription for one more camera. I purchased a sd card that allows me to view previous footage. I use this to check the progress of my embroidery machine when I step away. It does the job for what I need. I’m now thinking of replacing the Wyze cameras in my home… the quality of the footage appears to be a lot better with the Kasa.
