Weatherproof, tried and tested.
It survived rain and harsh direct sunlight, tapo is synonymous with quality, Bought three of these cameras and they have good clarity of video and sound.Only feature I wish it had is being able to lower the resolution of video preview. It plays in 2k which takes up high data so it slows down sometimes or starts with a delay when network is a bit slow.You can see this feature in tapo C220, you can lower the preview resolution to 360p so even when the network is slow, it takes no time to start the preview when I open it in the app.

Offline bug for every tapo camera
After some months use, the camera showing offline status in app but green indicator is showing in the camera. In that time the actual recording is not happening and I need to restart the camera by unplug the adapter. I have 5 cameras from tapo and the same issue is randomly happening for every camera. Seems to be tapo putting bugs on every camera.

Brilliant WI-FI 360° Security Camera
The media could not be loaded. I bought TP-Link 2K 3MP Outdoor Pan/Tilt | Security Wi-Fi Camera, IP65 in February 2024, Sold By: Appario Retail Private Ltd. My reviews are based on the continuous usage of this security camera thoroughly at my home for 7 months till now.Pros.DETECTION1. Both motion and person detection.2. Customizable detection zones.3. Increase or decrease the sensitivity of motion detection.TRACKING1. Both motion and person tracking.2. Costumizable tracking zones.3. 'On' or 'Off' the tracking mode.PATROLLING1. 360° non-stop patrolling.2. Costumizable patrolling zones.3. Costumizable patrolling schedules.PAN/TILTAdjustable DEGREES the camera will move per tap of pan/tilt.ALARM1. 'On' or 'Off' the ALARM mode.2. Alarm for camera TAMPERING or OBSTRUCTION.3. Adjustable sensitivity for alarm mode.NIGHT VISION3 different mode; Infrared mode, full colour mode, smart mode (switch from infrared to full colour mode when detect any activity).VIDEO/DISPLAY1. Customizable video quality; 2K, 1080P, 720P (data-saving) and 360P (smallest data rate).2. Customizable PRIVACY zones.3. Option for INVERTIBLE image.RECORDING1. Customizable recording schedules; continuous recording, detection recording.2. Sound recording.3. Cloud (subscription) and SD card recording option.NOTIFICATION1. For motion/person/tampering.2. Customizable schedule for notifications.3. Notification with snapshot (subscription).SPOTLIGHT facility.TWO-WAY audio facility.LED light.VOICE CALL mode.ALEXA & GOOGLE HOME connectivity.REEBOOT & AUTO REEBOOT facility.UPDATE & AUTO UPDATE facility.Cons.So far, there are no major drawbacks with this camera, just a few minor issues.After prolonged live streaming, the camera may occasionally stop streaming live, although it continues recording in the background. Once you reboot the camera, the live streaming resumes.Another minor issue I've encountered is with the camera's rotation. When there's movement directly beneath it, the camera sometimes fails to fully track and rotate to follow the object as needed. However, this is a small issue, and overall, the camera's features are excellent.

Best in the category !
I did a lot of research(many hours n days) and this is the best selection in the category for the price. Spend a little extra and get this one for what you get in return.Installation:- I have installed it outside my Apartment main door(covered corridor) which receives different amount of lights during various times of the day. The power adapter cord is long and i keep the adapter plugged inside the apartment with the wire going outside through my doorbell drill hole(nobody can cut power supply) The installation was smooth, and easy. You can install it on the wall or ceiling, whichever provides the best view as per your layout. I used a junction box to roll n pack extra wire, and lock the connectors(nobody can disconnect outside).Initial Configuration: Easy through TaPo app. Has a simple guided step by step built in the app.Coverage & View: Provides a broad range- horizontal & vertical, as per specs. Pan & tilt feature is amazing. Can use it live sitting across thousands of kilometeres via the mobile app while watching live feed.Camera Performance- The 2k QHD 25fps picture quality is great, two way communication with speaker and mic are on point, motion detection, person detection are accurate with immediate notifications and very importantly the Tapo App by TP-Link is the best out there amongst all the security camera apps, both in terms of features and ease of use.WiFi Connectivity- This is very important point which people often ignore. My Fast WiFi router is near the apartment main door, and hence 2.4GHz signals are very strong n stable, for optimum performance and interaction through App.Mobile App Performance: The Tapo App by TP-Link is the best out there amongst all the security camera apps, both in terms of features and ease of use. Actually it should be advertised as much as product itself. It is miles ahead.Spotlight: It does a good job.Low light/Night performance- It's low light detection and automatic switching to mode is good.Storage & Recording: I am using "Sandisk 256GB High Endurance Video microSDXC card" with this, for local storage. Important point:- Storage cards for any security cameras are different than one for your mobiles. This one is designed for it.(You can check TP-Link Product page for the list).Updates: Reliable and timely firmware as well as app updates.Other important features: Raise Alarm Feature, Tamper Alarm on detection, pet detection, vehicle detection, Line crossing detection, patrolling mode - the feature list available for this specific camera in TaPo app is amazing. You can choose what you want to enable.Go for it !
