Detailed Test Results

Video Quality: Daytime pictures are soft, not as sharp or clear as much as the better models, which means you won't be able to see some details and subtle patterns in the scene. At nighttime, the video is mediocre: quite viewable but not as bright or clear as the better models.

Data security: This model has very good security. It has many of the important protections for your recordings and personal data.

Data privacy: TP-Link offers only a mediocre level of control and transparency over your data. They are not doing as good a job as others are with regard to collecting only necessary data, giving you control over its use, and limiting how your data is shared or sold.

Response time: This model sends its alerts to its app within 1.1 seconds on average, which is very quick, and helps you be very responsive to situations.

Smart features: It works with smart-home systems such as Amazon Alexa, Apple Siri, Google Assistant, Google Home, IFTTT, Samsung SmartThings. You'll need to install the Tapo app on your smartphone. TP-Link claims this model has recognition algorithms that can detect people, vehicles, and animals. TP-Link may offer additional features that require a subscription and/or a firmware update.
