TP-Link Tapo

Very good setup here. there's actually footage instead of pay walls! the last doorbell I had lasted less than a day. Then was permanently "uninstalled"! this app has free playback. free live view - which I thought was a feature on ALL doorbells, but not the Chinese cheap one I picked up before this one. the motion sensor also works, and you can watch and download the footage if you want. I think the only thing is, you get a 10 seconds clip, and you've probably got to upgrade for.

Generally good, allows me to view the live feed and stored recordings (triggered by various events). If you have the cams on a guest network it's a faff to switch over to download files, shouldn't be necessary. Especially useful to be able to select areas to include and exclude from monitoring. Only real downer is the occasional intrusive ads when I open the app.

Unfortunately, I’m not satisfied with this camera. The live video is very laggy and keeps freezing and disconnecting, making it almost impossible to see what is happening in real time. The two-way audio also does not work properly. When I speak through the microphone, the sound is very unclear, cuts out, or sometimes does not reach the camera at all. For a security camera, I expected the live video and audio communication to work much more reliably. Unfortunately, based on my experience
