Versatile Camera with Good Video Quality and Recording to MicroSD Card
Great camera, good app, and RTSP works perfectly. No need to pay a monthly fee for a cloud account to save the videos, this one records to a microSD card (purchased separately) and plays the recording back on demand. It supports microSD sizes up to 512 GB, so you should never run our of storage space for motion triggered recordings. Even if you did run out of storage, this camera has a continuous loop setting to just record new videos over the oldest saved recordings.You can set triggers for recording (with optional phone alerts) when the camera detects motion, a person, or both. So far, the person detection seems accurate, even at a distance of 100 feet. I intend to rely primarily or exclusively on person detection to minimize the number of recorded videos of raccoons and bunnies, etc. You can turn off or adjust the sensitivity of both types of detection independently, which is nice.I had read reviews of Tapos that didn't display their RTSP stream while recording to the micro SD card, but this model streams RTSP even with a microSD card inserted and recording motion. Admittedly, I haven't tested the RTSP while actively recording due to a motion trigger, but at least when configured to record to microSD, the RTSP stream still works great.I bought two, and both worked perfectly out of the box. I didn't even have to retype my WIFI password for the second camera, it remembered it from the first camera. The video quality is good, even in low light conditions when using the daytime settings (both my cameras are behind windows, so I cannot use the built-in LED light to illuminate because the light reflects off the glass). See the attached photos taken in the daylight (and some smudges on the window), at night with a separate flood light, and completely in the dark. With the flood light on at night, the camera picks up colors really well, with better night vision than I have.The app is fairly intuitive and easy to use. It offers excellent features, like turning the status light off, setting up the RTSP account, specifying when to save photos to the micros SD card (on motion trigger or continuously), and a host of other features.I returned a WYZE Cam V4 because WYZE no longer supports RTSP streaming. This Tapo does it, and makes it easy to set up.Ver másVer menos
