Good but not perfect
This camera is a great starting point. Cannot zoom in to see clear details at 150m away. Sometimes the recording of the video is choppy and not smooth, but better than nothing.

I thought I was buying from Amazon – My issue is with the seller
I thought I was buying from Amazon and did not realize when I found a better deal on the same page that it was a 3rd party seller.Long story short I purchased this to use as a baby monitor and realized I could not see all angles of the room, a security issue in my mind.I tried returning the camera and the seller says I am subject to a restocking fee, shipping fees to Quebec and that it is my problem I bought a product that does not work for me.To buy from this seller, you must be 100% certain you will not change your mind as these fees are meant to deter returns.

Google compatible but…
I bought this to use with google home, the nest hub. It times out after ten minutes which is not helpful as I wanted to use as baby monitor.

Great camera, I use mine for a security measure that watches the coming and going.

This came with a US USB adapter but no problem as any UK USB brick worksI just wanted Kasa rather than Tapo so job done

For price/performance this is a tough camera to beat. The image quality is excellent and, so far, network connectivity has been solid. Night vision is solid but we found the motion detection to be hit and miss. We are playing around with the length and sensitivity settings so we might be able to tweak this in so it performs well. So what is the (near) fatal flaw? The microphone. To be fair the microphone is excellent. Like crazy excellent. As in we can hear ourselves clearly on the app from several rooms away excellent. While disconcerting that isn’t the worst of it: you can’t turn it off!!! You can set it not to record but you can’t actually turn it off! Crazy! How is that acceptable on any level?Well, it is not so I covered it. It is very easy to find; it is the little hole on the front bottom left of the device. Personally I used a small silicone foot that I had laying around but I’m sure I could’ve used some tape and cotton (or something to baffle the sound). I only docked one star for this egregious fault because it was so easy to fix. To be clear I did quite a bit of searching on how to disable it through software but the support folks in the Kasa forums are quite adept at intentionally misunderstanding the questing and answering an adjacent question (No Ms. Solla-topee, nobody is asking about how turn off ‘recording audio’ -we want to SHUT IT OFF COMPLETELY….sorry about that).Anyway, the only other issue we had probably won’t be a problem for other people which is the IR LEDs night vision are very (very) bright. We’re using this camera to look out to our front walkway which means it is mounted in a window and when it goes into night vision mode we only see the reflection. I have a work around for that too and since, in standard uses, bright IR would be a good thing certainly didn’t dock a star.Another bonus is that the cloud service is completely optional. We are using an SD card and just saving locally. Seems to work well. On a side note, there are three video resolutions available: WQHD (2560×1440) which they erroneously call 2K (2K is a digital cinema standard that is 2048 × 1080), 1080p/Full HD (1920×1080 as long they are following the standard), and 720p/HD (1280×720 as long as they are following the standard). If you have a laggy network, old phone, or a small SD card you should consider one of the lower resolutions.Overall I would recommend this unit so long as you:A. Don’t care about the always on audio orB. Don’t mind covering the microphone.

I already have several of these cameras and they work well, but this is the first one I’ve received with a Non-UK Power Supply / Plug. Very inconvenient! I was hoping they would have sorted out this by now. Reviews have been stating this for months. Needed this camera in a hurry, so I took a chance they might have corrected this by now, but no luck as of 12 Sept 2023.
