This app is pretty intuitive and I love how easy it is to set up devices with the onscreen instructions and built-in manuals. There are deficiencies, however, with regards to what you can do with a lot of their devices when writing automations. One example, is that you can't toggle notifications of sensors (motion, contact, etc) so that you're not pestered with them when you're at home. I've had to many create more automations as a workaround, which brings us to the 128 shortcut and/or automation limit. I wouldn't be hitting this limit if they just enrich the list of "actions" in automation. Another issue is scrolling hiccups – probably a result of having too many automations. If you have too many motion sensors going off frequently, you know, because your family is actually living in the building the sensors are installed in, you'll keep getting battery drain warning notifications about that per device! No way of turning it off. I have (custom) wired up a lot of my devices to 3v DC adapters so I'm not expecting power issues. Finally, regarding the company: I accidentally emailed their support team from a long-standing email address that never sends outgoing mail, just receives them. Within a week I'm bombarded with spam emails for the first time. They leaked my email address!!

I bought this camera to watch my kittens while My husband and I are at work. We have two dogs who have never been around such small kittens so we just wanted to keep a watchful eye on the kitty’s. We put them in our empty guest room and use this camera to peek in. One of the kittens does not use the litter box properly every time and one of them doesn’t get a lot of food bc he is pushed out of the way. This camera has allowed us to have such peace of mind when leaving our newly adopted babies. The quality is great and even the night vision is amazing!! I love the amount of features the camera offers and is so nice to be able to move the camera around to see the entire bedroom! Something our others camera do not have! Definitely will be buying a couple more of these for our house soon!!! If you’re debating on buying it, just buy it. You will NOT be dissatisfied!! Amazing quality and provides such peace of mind 🐈‍⬛🫶🏻

Have 3 Wyzecam V3’s which work ok but needed another camera to surveil the side of the house where the wifi enters. Need quick notification time in case someone cuts the line. This Tapo Magcam C425 seems to work as well as I could expect. The app found and automatically added the Kasa smart switch receptacle which is really great to minimize apps. As far as the camera goes I don’t think the battery is replaceable so when it no longer takes a charge the whole thing is toast. Hopefully this will be years. The Wyze outdoor battery pro has a replaceable battery pack but needs a hated subscription for features the Tapo app has for free.
