2K 3MP Outdoor Wired Camera | Tapo C310

Quite decent picture, night vision range is OK (more like 30-40 feet than 90). The only real loss of one star is really due to insects and snow triggering the motion alert, which really I guess should be expected anyway given the price point- which really is excellent for the camera as it is a quality unit overall.Easy setup, app works pretty smoothly, only nit pick there is that only one device (phone etc) can view the camera output at one time. Also using SD card for local storage versus cloud, so have no opinion of that part of the app.

Best night cam for the price. Great non-annoying App.Pros:1. Good quality app2. RTMP streaming so can hook up with third party apps3. Wifi + Wired network support4. Stable connection via Tapo app as well as RTMP stream in winter (Toronto 2024)5. Easy setup6. Local recording with SD7. No annoying ad or pay wall reminders for playback like Wyze cam app.I setup the camera close to motion-sensor flood light on the driveway so instead of black/white the camera captures events at full color. Its been quite good so far.Comes with a decent length power adapter however i got extra 10ft Power Exention cable (ANLINK) sold on amazon that fit perfect into this power adapter.Cons:1. Super sensitive sensor for motion detection, get false alarms during rain, even slightest motion of car lights in unmarked zones causes triggers, it gets annoying at night so have to silence it. It kind of defeats the purpose for real-time notification. But this is a limitation with every camera out there.2. Poor Quality screw holding the screw plate for the sd-card. I already lost one.3. Network Cable housing is bit too big so you may have to figure out how to hide that plug while drilling through wall.

After buying and returning a Blink system, I did some research and found the Tapo cameras. I ordered them and they arrived quickly. I purchased two micro SD cards and installed them into the cameras. I downloaded the app and started the set up which was fairly simple to do as the app guides you through it. I plugged them and mounted them where I wanted them, one on our house and one on our detached garage. I was a bit worried that the garage one wouldn't work as it isn't close to our wifi box but they cameras have two little antennas that boost signals and there hasn't been an issue with connection (although the garage mounted on does have a 1 second delay compared to the house mounted one). The night vision is very good but note that in the picture I shared, half of the yard is picking up light from our yard light. You can listen and speak through the app and you'll get notifications for movement or people. You can also adjust the sensitivity for motion detection and can set up a way to avoid the camera sending notifications when your pets are walking by, but I have not used this setting. You can also use privacy mode for the times where there will be lots of motion and you don't want a pile of notifications.Ive had them up about a week now and so far am happy with them. However, we live in a climate where our winters are brutally cold (-40c) and I'm not sure how these cameras will handle that cold. I will come back to update once we've gotten through some cold days in the winter.One thing I will note is that the app can sometimes be hard to navigate. I wanted to delete recordings and it took me a while to find out where to go to do that but there is a way. Then when I went to go do it again, I couldn't remember where in the app I had gone and I haven't been able to figure it out since. The app covers many different models of cameras so it's a pretty busy app.Overall I'm really enjoying these and I love that I don't need to pay for a subscription.UPDATE: updating to share that it has been very cold in my province (-30 not factoring wind chill) and these cameras are still going strong, no issue. The only annoyance is on night vision it picks up snow falling or rain and it sends notifications of movements. I turn the camera off when this happens. Still very happy with these cameras!

Great camera in day, and once it's set to day-mode at night it works decently. Unless you do, the IR is like a deer-jackiing spotlight in a window which blinds the camera to itself at night. Also turned off the led red indicator light.After that, it picks up motion well, and sound too when it records. Neither sd card I had seemed formattable, but I am happy to store to cloud, it's cheap enough. Price was very reasonable for quality and simplicity. Images are quite clear, but do distort a tiny bit at outer edges due to wide angle.

This is a great camera! Super easy to set up, install and use. It comes with 30 days free of cloud storage and the paid storage is very fairly priced.You can get cloud storage for one or multiple cameras so you don��t over pay if you only have the one and save if you have multiple. There are also 7 and 30 day plans for the storage so you can pick the length of storage they��re I��ll keep and have the option to download footage directly from the app.It has auto updates feature and you can choose the time of day or night for it to do so.It has a slot for local storage but the cloud is much more convenient (unlimited).Person detection works flawlessly, and the movement detection works even too good (it picked up a bug flying 5-6ft from the camera, picks up light changes- car headlights and you can hear a lot)The best feature that sold me on this thing besides the price was the option to talk to whomever was at the door. It is a two way radio.I have not had any problems so far with this guy, other than the fact that I had to lengthen the cable as it did not reach to the outlet I wanted to use, but you can also use an extension cable instead of being extra like me ??

Great little camera. Picks up movement from long distances. Bought another one.

La cam��ra a ��t�� facile �� installer et configurer. Elle donne une bonne image et la d��tection de mouvement fonctionne bien mais apr��s 6 mois d'utilisation elle s'est d��connect�� du Wifi et le led clignotait rouge. Apr��s avoir resett�� la cam��ra 2 fois et essay�� de la reconfigurer une douzaine de fois, elle n'a jamais voulu se reconnecter au Wifi. Les recommandations ��tait de la rapprocher du routeur et r��essayer. Pas tr��s commode pour une cam��ra fix��e en hauteur �� l'ext��rieur. J'essayais ce produit pour ��valuer sa fiabilit�� mais je vais essayer autre chose. Finalement, je l'ai connect�� sur un cable ethernet directement au routeur et de cette fa?on elle fonctionne tr��s bien.

Easy install . Clear picture , Great price

Great outdoor camera but I have noticed the colors are starting to fade. I tried going into the settings but no changes

Was wondering who was using my garbage bin. Camera helped. I bought 2 for garage. Would be 5 stars if i could read license plates. Ill buy another when it goes on sale. Its nice that theres no subscription.

Perfect for beginners

No complaints with the camera itself, was easy to setup and configure, connects to my wireless network fine, picture quality is great. However, it would be nice if you could still get previews of motion events without an sd card if you don't subscribe. Problem is rectified by installing an sd card or purchasing a subscription.

Good product.

Fonctionne bien avec logiciel Tapo

Good camera for the price pointHaven��t had any issues for the most part

I made the mistake of first buying Defender brand cameras, trying to support a Canadian brand. That was a huge mistake. Their cameras are terrible, and that assumes you can EVERY get them hooked up to the internet. Good luck with that.These ones took LITERALLY less than 10 seconds to connect and get working. Unreal. Pictures quality is great, the AI feature is nice too as I use these at work. I plan on buying more and would highly recommend a brand like TP Link. FYI, their app is also really nice and easy to use, unlike the Defender app which looks very dated.

Works really good and i have not had any issues with it

I came here to buy this after it was ranked first in a New York Times review of security cameras. Not only did it finish first it was also the cheapest.This camera replaces a previous cheap model that has since disappeared from Amazon. That experience was maddening. Flakey and limited software, intermittent WIFI signal, constant false notifications.This camera is mounted in the same spot and connected to the WIFI instantly. The software is simple and intuitive to use. The speaker is a little poor quality but I'm using it as driveway surveillance and have no plans on using the speaker.The image is very clear and downloads are simple and flawless. I have yet to figure out how to delete files on the SD card but with a 64 GB card I had kicking around and installed, I really don't need to worry about. The Activity and Privacy Zones (areas to watch and areas to ignore) work great. I'm able to cut out the front street traffic and identify only movement in the yard and driveway. The microphone is very sensitive.What a wonderful package for such a good price. I'll likely buy a couple of their solar units for mounting high on trees to watch all my good neighbours out walking their dogs...and the rare punk looking for Ford pickups to steal.One quick picky thing for the manufacturer. Please don't tighten the screws to the SD card door so tight. It was a struggle to remove even with the perfect sized Phillips screwdriver. Other than that, great product!Update: This camera performed flawlessly for months. Then I upgraded my router to 5GHz. The previous had both 2.4 and 5. This camera runs only on 2.4 although it does not say that in the description. Ai finds the information somewhere else on the www. My camera is now dead in the water and will not communicate with my 5 GHz network. I guess I will need to buy a new camera that is rated for 5 GHz.Progress I guess :-(.
