Great, Easy Camera
This is a fabulous little camera. So easy to set up, great instructions and easy to follow. Quality of the camera is perfect, good view and again easy to use. Gives plenty of angles to see exactly what you need to. I would recommend this camera.

Tapo
I'd currently got a basic tapo device for my daughter's room to use like a monitor. So I could keep tabs on her wake ups during the night due to being additional needs. I wanted another for the living room as she had a habit of getting up very early. This camera is an upgrade on my existing one and wow. The picture quality is great (far cry from those awful CCTV clips they show trying to catch criminals. They'd be better using one of these!) it also has AI which builds up a collection of faces it sees regularly and learns who's who (once you start labeling stills it gives you) I'm pretty sure it can distiguish vehicles and pets too. But we don't have a need for this so can't be certain. Requires an additional memory card to record footage. Or pay for the cloud with Tapo. I find this great being able to look on the app for time stamps and downloading clips of needed. You can have a two way speak through the app and camera. Or you can listen if on the app. Tapo app is easy to set up and use. So many features on that. Notifications to moments picked up by the camera.

A good piece of kit
A great piece of equipment that is 4K and has a great tilt feature. Does exactly what it needs to do. It should be noted however that a separate SD card needs to be bought for storage. There are also some pixelation issues at some points when you try to zoom in.

Better than I expected
This was super easy to set up. After a spate of thefts in our street, I wanted something I could keep indoors without having to go through the faff of an outside installation whilst being able to monitor outside action. It is fairly small and therefore quite discreet and sat neatly on my window sill. Person detection is superb and I was very pleased with the camera quality coming through on my phone even at night time. It does struggle a bit from window glare but to be fair it is sold as an indoor security camera. I haven't tested it with an SD card yet but the camera works well and I like that you can take photos which are installed stored in your phone.

Really good home camera.
Great camera. I have been using it to keep an eye on pets while at work. The app is extremely easy to use and can control the camera through it, it can be moved up and down and side to side. It also has a zoom in feature and a talk through feature. When the camera detects movement it sends a notification through to the app. It comes with a long cable so it is easy to plug into wall socket and also a wall bracket to put in the wall if wanted.

A Versatile Product
I like this product-its very easy to set up and install the app, and it can be set in any room. It isn't that big and therefore is not intrusive. It gives that extra bit of peace of mind to know who is around and about your property, and this gives an added layer of protection and security. The video is very clear and you can just leave it running. Its a product that you didn't know you needed until you have one and really is a must have product.

Yes and NO.
Any camera can work through a window but there are a lot of limits based on the angle of the camera to the window glass, the light levels internally that can bounce back into the camera blocking or obliterating any image you hope to capture.
Then theres outside light issues, such as sunshine hitting the window that can cause sunburst to the image, low light that then means all you capture is a reflection of the camera its self, dirt on the window that can block any image, etc...!
