Kasa 1080p Indoor Pan/Tilt Wired Security Camera - Works as a Baby & Pet Monitor, Motion Detection & Tracking, 2-Way Audio, Night Vision, Subscription-Free Local Storage or Optional Cloud, EC71

EXTREMELY EASY TO USE • COST-EFFECTIVE • VERSATILE • SATISFYING: I happened to buy a 4-pack of Kasa smart plugs recently. After experiencing firsthand how easy it was to integrate them into my existing and very average home Wi-Fi system - not to mention tie their control into existing Amazon smart devices such as my Echo Dot and EchoPop - I simply couldn't resist the urge to (join the rest of you in the 21st century and) purchase a camera. APPLICATION: I wanted an easy to buy, implement, use and maintain a remote controllable and reasonably 'smart' surveillance system - just to keep an eye on things that happen on the street. I learned very quickly the Kasa camera system has features that enable it to not only track motion but specifically people when desired (see Activity Zones IMG) ; features include various levels of tracking up to and including "Patrol Mode" which will cause the camera to rotate through the four savable "scenes" at the specified interval(s) allowing for 360° monitoring from just one camera. Even has NIGHT VISION. I actually bought two cameras and haven't even set up the second one because the first is already doing so much! TIPS & TRICKS: Make sure you purchase a reasonable quality 64 GB mini SD card. That is the maximum size card this model of Kasa camera can utilize. TO INSERT THE CARD: using the mobile interface pan the camera upward until the mini SD card port and reset buttons are exposed (see IMGs.) Insert the card LABEL UP and press until firmly clicked and secured in its final position. I have been running the camera "24/7" (the actual mode is known as "24/7 Monitoring") at maximum resolution of 1080p for ~ 3 days and have used less than 25% of the 64 GB capacity. (see IMGs) HOW TO SAVE EVIDENCE: Should something unfortunate occur and you find yourself in the position of needing to save that which your camera captured you can simply click on "24/7 recording" & move the saved timeline bar to the requisite point, wait for playback to start and click the 🔴 in the lower right-hand portion on the playback screen. (Note: Give the video recall some time - after all it is the camera having to go back and read saved data while still recording and saving new data, transmit saved data through the Wi-Fi network to your phone and ultimately save it in a new location. Even the fastest systems will take a moment.) Following these steps will save a video of what was recorded that you will find in your video gallery. *There is a portion of the app allocated to Activity Alerts Tracking which is available with a Kasa Care subscription; I do not have that subscription thus I am unable to speak to those features at this time but imagine they facilitate easier activity recall and saving. WHAT TO DO NOW: Click purchase. 😊 Seriously this thing is fabulous especially for the price point. Off the top of my head some of the easiest applications I can think of would be keeping an eye on your pets or your kids while they're at home or having an extra pair of eyes when needed. *** Keep in mind this review is written from the standpoint of someone seeking easy applications and easy use - If you are looking for something that is sturdy, has own/redundant power, data storage and signaling capacity, is designed to survive not only adverse weather/climate but also potential tampering this is not the device I would recommend.

The Casa indoor pan-tilt security camera is awesome. I wasn’t sure what to expect when I purchased it, especially since I’ve been using Ring cameras that require frequent battery changes. The plug-in design is a huge plus for me—it works great and eliminates the hassle of changing batteries. The camera offers 24/7 monitoring and motion alerts, so you’re notified whenever movement is detected. The picture quality and clarity are excellent, and navigating through recorded videos to review past events is very easy and user-friendly. One feature I really like is that the camera allows you to save up to four preset views, making it easy to switch between angles with the press of a button. Storage depends on the size of the SD card you choose, which allows flexibility based on your needs, but the card must be purchased separately. Overall, the video quality is impressive, and the pan-tilt function works smoothly. I would recommend this camera over a Ring camera unless you specifically need a battery-powered option. If you prefer a reliable, plug-in indoor camera, this is a wonderful choice.

use this as a nanny cam indoors and I love this camera. its super easy to set up and the instructions are very clear. the app is very easy to use and allows you zoom in and move the camera to follow movement. quality is pretty good but not perfect. gives instructions to mount it as well if you want to. super affordable camera and im so happy I tried this camera out before going for a more expensive one! connects to wifi so make sure you have wifi within reach of the camera.

I picked up this Kasa indoor security camera, and overall it’s been a solid addition to our setup. Initial setup was quick and easy, and the camera itself feels durable and well-made. Mounting it to the wall or ceiling is straightforward once you get past one small hurdle. The main reason I gave this a 4 out of 5 is the mounting clip. Removing the clip from the base of the camera was more difficult than expected and took a few minutes to figure out so I could mount it the way I wanted. It’s doable, but not very intuitive. Once installed, the camera looks clean, and the app is easy to use. One of my favorite features is the ability to save up to four different camera angles using what Kasa calls activity zones. I use these all the time since I have them set for every angle I want to monitor. We mounted ours on the ceiling, and flipping the view upside down in the app was simple. For around $20, this is a solid indoor camera with some great features. If you’re okay with spending a little extra time during mounting, it’s a good value overall.

Works so well! And easy to set up! Quality is nice, love night vision as well. A litttle slow with searching for angles like if you needed to check rest of room it moves slow. Also if you move super fast past it, it might not catch it. But other than that jts good for basic use! There is a subscription required for recoding use, but you can choose to use thst or not.

We needed an indoor camera to watch our puppy but we didn't want to spend a ton of money on one. We found this camera and it has been awesome! Great quality, very clear image, good sound, doesn't lag at all. AND at a great price. Highly recommend.

Gran cámara con fácil instalación. La visión nocturna es una de las mejores que he podido apreciar. Muy recomendable

Not bad but not as we expected

I installed one of these cameras in my attic to ensure that I don’t get any unwanted rodent guests. Used with the Kasa phone app this is a great monitoring solution. I added an inexpensive micro SD card for recording. You can setup multiple viewing angles to quickly survey the area remotely when required. It will automatically notify your phone when motion is detected and the recording allows to review the activity. Thankfully, so far it has only seen the occasional moth. It has saved me many trips up to the attic and has worked well for many months. I also have many kasa wifi light and outlet switches which also work very well. This is an excellent product.

Muy fácil de instalar, se ve muy nítida la imagen, además se pueden escuchar las voces o ruidos que haya en el lugar y también se puede hablar por medio de la cámara; excelente compra! La recomiendo mucho!

Yes, these do come with a US style wall charger but work with any USB charger It means I can keep my plan of Kasa in one house and Tapo in the other Makes it easier to identify even though the Tapo app can separate them
