C320WS 2K QHD Wireless & Wired Security Camera Outdoor, IP66, Person/Vehicle Detection, Starlight Colour Night Vision, Cloud and Local Storage, Works With Alexa and Google, No Monthly Fee

I have used this camera for 2 years. I regularly recommend it to others. The UI of the tapo app is easy to use. The camera is easy to set up. I have this indoors to view outdoors, never any window glare, no issues seeing at night. I have never had wifi issues with it, never had any battery issues with it. I have a memory card in it for playback and storage so no need to sign up to their cloud subscription but you can if that's what you prefer. Absolutely recommend them for quality, durability and value for money.

We may have used this Tapo Security Camera in a slightly unconventional way, but it's worked wonders! Instead of using it as a traditional dog or baby monitor, we decided to mount it next to our 3D printer, and it has completely changed how we monitor our prints. With a custom-made 3D printed mount, this camera now keeps a close eye on every layer as it’s laid down, and let me tell you, it’s saved us a lot of print failures. The 2K resolution means we can see even the small details of the print, which is fantastic for spotting any issues early. The motion detection feature has also turned out to be surprisingly useful, if something goes wrong during a print, we get notified before a full-blown plastic disaster can occur. And with the 2-way audio, I can even yell at the printer for misbehaving (not that it listens, but it makes me feel better). Night vision is another bonus since our prints often run through the night. It’s great to be able to check on things without needing to light up the whole room. It’s like having a 3D printing babysitter that doesn’t need sleep. If you're into 3D printing and want to keep an eye on those long prints, this little Tapo camera is a game-changer. Plus, when it's not on print duty, it doubles as a regular security camera, which makes it feel like a bargain. Highly recommend for those creative minds who like to repurpose tech!

I recently upgraded from my old Yale SV-D8 4MX-B LAN-connected CCTV system to the Tapo C320WS, and I can honestly say the difference is night and day. Setup & Installation: Installation was seamless. I drilled directly through the wall into the house, so the cables are fully protected from the elements. Each camera was easily mounted and connected via LAN, and the Tapo app guided me through setup without a hitch. It just worked — no fussing with ports, firmware, or awkward settings. Performance: The video quality is a massive step up from my old Yale system — the 2K resolution is incredibly sharp both day and night, and the colour night vision with the integrated spotlight is genuinely impressive. The cameras lock on to motion reliably, and with a bit of tweaking to the detection zones, false alerts have been minimal. Smart Features & App: The Tapo app is well thought out, offering granular control over motion detection, activity zones, and alerts. The two-way audio and built-in siren are nice bonuses, and I love that I don’t need a subscription — local recording on a micro-SD card just makes sense. LAN connectivity means there’s no lag, buffering, or dropout — something that plagued my old setup. Compared to Yale SV-D8 4MX-B: These Tapo cameras are far superior. The image quality, smart features, ease of use, and build quality are leagues ahead. The old Yale system felt clunky and outdated, while the C320WS feels modern, robust, and efficient. I also appreciate that I no longer need a bulky DVR hub — each camera runs independently with its own storage. If you’re replacing an older wired system like Yale’s SV-D8 series, the Tapo C320WS is a no-brainer. Better quality, easier setup, more intelligent features — and no ongoing subscription. Very impressed so far.

I purchased this camera to add to my ever-growing collection of Tapo, or for that matter my wider collection of Smart Devices. First thing I want to say is that this is an impressive little camera considering the price (when not raised to later be dropped for a deal). The picture Quality is very good when viewed on a phone with it set to 2k, it remains good when viewed on a 1080p TV screen (via Firestick) or device with similar screen resolution. There is a slot for a Micro SD card which removes the need for it to be connected to a hub, set up in the Tapo app and subsequently with Alexa to view on Alexa enabled devices is straight forward. I have used a 128GB Micro SD Card and this seems to be more than adequate, as numerous recordings have not used large amounts of space. Especially as the recordings can be set on a loop or individual recordings can be downloaded and the SD card formatted if needed, and even set with recordings to loop it’s possible to see how much space is used and free. While on the subject of space usage, its worth mentioning the motion/people sensors in this camera are very sensitive even at the low setting and can occasionally trigger even when you can’t see why. If your intention is to use this as an indoor camera to monitor inside your home, I think you will probably be satisfied with this Camera, and it comes with a decent length power adapter cable. However, my intention was to use it as an indoor camera facing out from my window, and here I found a couple of issues. The first was that the mount for this camera involves the positioning of a couple of screws to slot the base onto, the problem with this is that I could not position the screws in a way that made possible to slot the base into the position I wanted. I overcame this issue with a 3M adhesive pad (surprisingly not include, as most smart devices come with Screws and 3M Adhesive Pads, which is why I have some, but they can be purchased easily). The Second issue for me is the Night Vision which appears to only be black and white, not in colour. It also presented another issue for me, in that when the camera is set to Night Vision or Auto, and facing out of a window the view from the camera at night is of the reflection of the built-in lights on the window, rendering night vision useless. However, if you set the camera to Day Vision permanently, street lights or ambient light at night will be sufficient in most cases to monitor what is happening in front of the camera (and not the reflection in the window) in colour, but obviously not as sharp or clear as in day light. It’s worth noting that while Day Vision works at night, the more light the better, it will not work if there is no light. In summary this really is a reasonably priced good quality little security camera that will work well when used to monitor your home, pets, etc., from another location. The issues I have had are because I’m using an indoor camera to monitor outside, which is not the intended use for this camera. That said it still does what I want it to do, albeit with a work around or two on my part.

This camera is so easy to set up and operate, and a very good buy. The video is extremely clear especially in the night time/dark. I would recommend this Tapo indoor camera, I have also bought the outdoor cameras as well. You have to buy micro SD card separately to save any recordings.⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Upgraded to Tapo from the considerably more expensive Nest cameras. Quality is overall much much better. These also look sleek and smart and were a doddle to set up. The cameras integrate well with other tapo devices and the app is a breeze to use- if not quite as easy to scrub through footage. I do find these more reliable than the competition and the playback is always buttery smooth and free from jitters or dropped frames. We use these with memory card (and no subscription!) Saving us a small packet each month. A real win for affordability.

What a super little camera, its small, its really easy to use (no subscription required just a memory disk), its even good visual at night without any lighting other than street lights (I point it out my window from inside), it looks fine, sound is good but I don't use the sound now, I was trying to capture the regular poop gifter on my front garden, it did the job (a neighbours dog was one culprit and after careful words has now ceased, a local tom cat was the other gifter no available for any words, but I shall not have cat mint on my front garden next year as it brings all the boys to the yard). I've left it up to provide additional security for my car, as we have had a lot of thefts lately nearby. £20 what a bargain and quite fun to watch sometimes too.

Perfect cameras for home use, very easy to set up and good quality, bought a memory card to go in it. Easy to view on my phone and i get a perfect view of the front and back of my house even through the window. I’ve also bought one for a friend who is very happy with it too
