TP-Link C520WS 2K QHD 4MP Outdoor Pan/Tilt Security Smart Wi-Fi Camera,IP66 Weatherproof, AI Detection,360° Visual Cover

I just cant say enough good things about the camera..its so functional and allows you to connect to lan if you want.very responsive..shame thumbnail notifications is behind a paywall..but I'm phasing my eufy system one camera at a time (12) ..although eufy has a better app, this blows by all their cameras and homebases..i dont even see the need for the newer models ..this is the one at that price point

Product exactly as mentioned, A recommended item at every home.. Fast setup and connectivity.. Choose branded memory cards only.

Vip quality

One of the three cameras did not work I send them to Jordan . And when i tried them they worked very well except one

Rien à dire

Super fast delivery from Amazon. Item itself very easy to install once you plan for power source location etc. Set up very easy and quality of image, pan, tilt, AI detection and notifications are all high end. Really happy with product overall and the addition of alarm and spotlight are very good. The two way speech is good but in my case I mounted camera up under eaves and when I talk back it is a little low, but the microphone on camera picks everything up perfectly and can be volume controlled. The panoramic view is great and the Patrol mode is also very good. App easy to use but lots of function on it so it does take a little getting used to. That being said its a very good app.No problem recommending this product. My installation took roughly one hour from start to finish with all functionality operational. Its 5 ***** all round from me.

Here are my thoughts on this beautiful product. I will provide both the pros and cons and my conclusion on price to value. Pros I noticed: 1: Decent build quality, easy wall or ceiling mounting, with an easy configurable stable app (compared to competition brands I have) 2: Built-in AI human, pet, and vehicle detection seems very reliable (95%) for me. In 6 months; only 2 false notifications for humans were triggered. 3: You get notified if a human, pet, or vehicle enters the surveillance area; each is individually configurable and sensitivity selectable. (On default itself it works like a charm for me) 4: In my installation scenario, 15 to 20ft human detection works great in the morning and 10 to 15ft at night respectively. 5: Manual pan tilt or scheduled patrol is possible to monitor the entire space it can cover. 6: Light and customizable audio alarm with recorded audio as an alarm to scare intruders. 7: IP66 (but recommended to avoid overexposure). Also, wired installation other than wifi is possible that can be connected to a compatible NVR. 8: The audio recording and talkback option is great and I can share even OTP clearly with delivery agents when not at home. 9: Can save preset locations that can rotate the camera to that specific location with a click. Also when the camera tracks movement it rotates (if tracking is enabled) and returns to the preset surveillance area when no activity is detected in the new area it moved to in 15 seconds or so. 10: Intelligent night mode can trigger a light on the camera and can record video in color too. 11: Masking the camera or covering the camera can trigger an alarm which can be configured with sensitivity. Cons I noticed: 1: Alarm sound is a bit low compared to competition brands (But not very little so it can't be considered a con but a comparison). 2: For the Alarm trigger; only one configurable time period is possible (ie; one-time period a day and NOT multiple periods a day for any day)(ie; if we set the alarm for night 10 to morning 6; we cannot set one more for morning 10 to 12 for the same day) 3: Offsite cloud storage, Rich image notification (notification with image proof) is only with a paid subscription (with no paid subscription; you will lose recording if the device is stolen). Some thoughts: A: I've seen some saying there is a lag or delay in viewing the video in the app; for me, it happened initially and then i upgraded my router to a fast mesh router which solved the issue which points to an issue with wifi connection and not with the device itself. B: I wish the camera had auto patrol when abnormal sound is detected and a Windows/macOS app to use it with the computer. C: Wish there was an option to save recordings to 3rd party FTP space or USB plugged into a compatible router. D: On motion triggered setup with approx 40 motion triggers on average a day my 256GB microSD holds recordings of 180 days/6 months approx before it rewrites old ones. Conclusion: Overall one of the stable and reliable standalone AI cameras for the price it is offered. I've bought Tapo C320WS which has 4MP sensor but when used outdoors (not supposed to be used outdoors but for comparison sake) the image quality is far better in the C520WS. So if you plan to keep a camera outside; go for this C520WS rather than any indoor cameras. I bought this for 5.3k during its launch and now it is available for less here on Amazon. I am adding some pictures of the product and screenshots of video samples from day and night; so that you can figure out the quality that would help you with decision-making. Also if you find this review helpful; pls press the Helpful button that would be a motivation for me to post more such reviews. Also if I decide to make any change in the long run of this product; I will do the same here to help you keep updated on this product.

Adopero da un paio di mesi un'economica telecamera Tapo TP40, acquistata su piazza a 30 euro, che funziona benone malgrado la sua grande semplicità e la filosofia "entry-level". Avevo però bisogno di una maggiore risoluzione video ed ho così optato per l'acquisto della TP520WS. Le due telecamere sono esteticamente identiche, e con l'App Tapo aggiungere l'unità è stato davvero semplice. Purtroppo, però, NON ho notato grandi miglioramenti nei dettagli video; almeno non tali da giustificare un prezzo quasi tre volte superiore; l'assenza dello zoom ottico - come sulla TP40 - si fa sentire e come: ingrandendo sullo schermo dello smartphone i dettagli continuano ad essere molto, molto sfuocati. Ho installato la telecamera a 5 metri d'altezza sotto ad uno spiovente, e a 12 metri di distanza con luce diurna una targa auto NON è leggibile. Bene la visione / registrazione notturna con luce infrarossa, che però mantiene i limiti già descritti. Rispetto alle TAPO più economiche è presente solo qualche aggiunta nel firmware a bordo con poche funzioni aggiuntive che non adopero neppure. La 520 è anche immediatamente riconoscibile per le due minuscole antenne montate sui lati esternamente al guscio che fanno sperare in un migliore collegamento alla rete WI-Fi 2,5GHz. Peccato per la scelta di adoperare alimentatori diversi in base al tipo di telecamera: la TP40 funziona a 12V, questa a 9V (però non potendo rifare il cablaggio continuo ad adoperare l'alimentatore a 12V senza alcun problema, almeno per adesso). Restano praticamente invariati tutti i pro e i contro delle telecamere Tapo. PRO: - Economica. - Semplice da utilizzare e da installare. - Ottima App. - Semplice processo di registrazione su SD in locale. - Pratica (dovesse servire) funzione di interfono. CONTRO: - Assenza dello zoom ottico. - Ingrandendo molto l'immagine sullo schermo dello smartphone (doppio tap, o con le due dita) si perde quasi tutta la risoluzione, scendendo a valori addirittura inferiori al segnale video composito (CVBS). - Assenza di un software per PC/MAC, che ne limita l'utilizzo ai soli smartphone. - Collegamento WI-FI non sempre stabile ed affidabile, anche con livelli di segnale elevati - Il grado di protezione IP66 mi lascia molto in dubbio, è decisamente meglio montare la telecamera in posizione riparata. - Se i parametri WI-FI cambiano (SSID, Password, eccetera) per riconfigurare la telecamera occorre un "hard-reset" eseguibile SOLO con un pulsantino cui si accede smontando un coperchietto sull'unità (se la telecamera è fissata in posizione elevata, magari a 10 metri di altezza, può essere un problema fastidioso). - Qualità audio scarsa. - Assenza di uniformità nell' alimentazione: 9V anziché 12V Devo purtroppo segnalare una spedizione Amazon estremamente lenta ed inefficiente: ordine effettuato il 4 novembre, consegnato il 15 novembre: forse un corriere a cavallo avrebbe impiegato meno tempo...

This is an excellent camera
