Crystal clear and easy set up
We use Kasa smart bulbs in our house and love them. I didn’t realize Kasa made cameras, so when I need an outdoor camera for security, I went with another brand. While it “worked”, the alerts were endless as it couldn’t differentiate between a person, a dog, a car, or a sparrow, we used it for over a year until we changed internet routers and had to try to reset it – remove the backing plate, press the reset, scan a code from your phone with the camera (not easy on a ladder with bright sunlight reflection from the screen), hope that it “took”, then start all over when it confirmed 3 minutes later that it wasn’t connected. Once I finally got it to connect (had to bring it down and inside first and then put it back up outside), the night vision was like looking thru a fog. So, I decided to try this brand. AND I LOVE IT. Set up is a breeze, plug it in, wait for the light to blink, press the + in the app and the camera was linked to the app. It did take a little longer for the WiFi to connect, but once it did, it has performed flawlessly since. I love that I can use the same app that I already have on my phone, it remembers the WiFi password set for the network, I can easily access from my Echo Show to see what’s going on (a plus as I work from home and am on my phone constantly thru the day) and I have the choice of a reasonably priced cloud storage plan (the other brand was $79 for 2 cameras when we started, then without warning increased to $135 in 3 months after we purchased!) or use of an SD card. The only downside I have found so far is the power supply – it’s a type C cord that plugs into a pronged block (like what’s used with a cell phone). These are “outdoor” cameras and if they were to be plugged in outside, I can’t imagine that they would be waterproof or safe with this type of connection. We use them on the outside of our buildings for security, but run the cords to interior outlets, so they work for us, but would much prefer a weather safe connection if needed. Will be purchasing a couple more for outside and replacing our inside cameras with this brand as well.

Excellent Camera! Too much incorrect information in reviews, and question section.
I have a slew of the Kasa smart outlets and theyâre excellent. Cheap and just work.I watched these cameras for a long time before trying a couple. Iâm glad I did. I got them on a good sale, around 42$ each.My buddy who is a professional security camera installer is blown away at their picture for a camera at 1/4 of his pro cam cost.Picture quality:The night vision is incredible. Thatâs usually where the picture quality lacks. Picture is crisp and clean when night vision is on.What is even more impressive is the cameras ability to use what light it can pickup at night and keep color and clarity. I have a streetlight that is in my neighbors yard and I donât use night vision on 2 of my cameras because it can use the available light very well.I will say, I run these on 1080 as I donât see any real difference at 2k. But just remember, it depends on the screen youâre viewing it on.For me, 1080 is plenty.Spot light:Itâs pretty good. Not âimpressiveâ but impressive for something that is running on 5V USB.Siren:Yup, it makes noise. You can even set it to initiate all sirens on your network at once.Siren and Alert settings.YES you can turn both off when motion is sensed. I donât know what people are doing where they canât turn that off.Motion sensing:Pretty slick, you can set a irregular squares to areas of interest you want notifications. For example. One cam captures the street, but I only want my walkway. So I set that section to only alert if movement is noticed in that area. Even nicer, you can set up to 4 different sections.Noise sensing/notification:Far too sensitive even on the lowest setting. A good gust of wind will set it off.This is nitpicking, but wanted to address it. All my noise sensing is turned off.2 way communication.Itâs OK. Not great. You can hear the people through the camera OK, but the speaker to them is not that great, but again. 42-50$ itâs very good.I will say, itâs possible that when youâre talking through the camera you mouth is far away from the mic on your phone because youâre also watching the video feed.Install is straight forward. Mount anywhere 110v is within the 10â reach of the cord.I bought a 50â USB extension cable to power one of these cameras where 110v is not nearby and itâs flawless.Can probably power sufficiently with even longer USB extension.Micro SD card storage:Itâs ridiculous that TP-Link hasnât accurately answered this question.At 1080, the 24/7 recording is approx 12gb a day. So a 256gb card formats at 219gb. Which translates to 18 days of 24/7 recording.The takeaway, at 1080 it takes 12gb a day. Different picture quality will increase or decrease the storage requirement.Saving from SD card.Again. I donât know where the issue is.When a notification is received the on screen prompts shows you if it was a person or movement.Touch one off them and the software jumps to that event and starts playing.On the screen youâre watching thereâs a âRED RECORD BUTTONâ touch that, and it starts to record that selection of video to your phone.You can record anything, not just an event. But the event notification just helps locate the times something happens.Easy. No problem. Stop whining!For those that canât figure that out, if you need to pull the SD card for insurance or police, you have a legit reason! You wonât be pulling the card daily.Ending thoughts.If youâre interesting in an inexpensive but high quality camera, look no further.

Good camera
As a professional security camera installer, have been asked to install them for home owners. Came across this camera and specs looked really good for personal use. So to Plus the cost is affordable for most; espically if you can find it on sale. The video can be displayed on both Alexa and Google Home devices for easy monitoring as well. For these reasons, I have recomended and installed this camera for several home/personal clients. The app is easy to use and set cameras up.The downside to this camera is power! Only wish the cable was NOT ATTACHED to camera. Because it’s attached permanitly I’ve had to drill large holes for a USB-A fitting to passthrough. Would have been nice if the power cable was a USB-A to USB-C because then the hole only has to be big enough for the USB-C end.There are a few times the mothion sensor is too sensitive or not sensitive enough.

I’ve got a few older Kasa cameras at home. This one is such an upgrade to the others! Very good quality at night and keeps it in colour! Perfect for keeping an eye on my front yard around the clock.

Already have KC200 outdoor camera which is good but without all the features of this new model. (No built in SIM facility on KC200) I have switched off the LED lights and IR at the moment as the video is clear enough without them and it does not stand out at night. That said, they are both good. I have spot lights that detect a person on the drive and they provide more than sufficient lighting. The video is recording in colour with just a weak street light and the sensitivity is correctly identifying a person. I have a128gb micro sim which is more than adequate for several days recordings. I have taken a snap shot of 4.15am today and it is good and in clout. When lights come on itâs outstanding. Came with a USA plug power adaptor. (See photo)The cable is USB ended and fits any suitable adaptor or usb socket. I highly recommend this product but get your own power adaptor.

It records pretty high res video day and night, has movement detection zones, detects people, records into internal micro SD. All of which you can view over the internet without a Kasa subscription.
