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.

Works great to keep on the on pets, easy setup, great ok picture and love the ability to talk.

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.

I bought this to check on my dog when I’m not home. For the price, it does what it’s supposed to do. Video quality is decent, setup was simple, and it’s been working fine so far. The camera itself feels a bit plasticky and kind of big, so it doesn’t look super premium. But honestly, for how affordable it is, I can’t complain much. If you want something basic to keep an eye on pets or a room without spending a lot, this gets the job done.

Love this camera,works great. Can see clearly in my kitchen and livingroom 360 degrees which is handy. Can see what everyone's up to when I am away from home. You can talk and be heard too. Great price. Glad I got this camera. Works on Wifi.

Don’t know how long they will last. But really decent cameras. Good picture. Nice features. Easy to set up. No fee for remote access unless you want events. Which frankly if you put a microsd in it you can get yourself. Would buy again. And probably so nice I am buying backups.

I recently saw this on my previous order list. I bought this 4 years ago! I still use it every single day. I've loved it so much! I use it for my cat at home. It's been great quality and I love using the microphone to talk to my cat. It doesn't need batteries since you leave it plugged in. The connection is always fantastic and I've used it at multiple other apartments. It was easy to get set up and ready to go. It's small and great to keep an eye on your house/appartament. Plus I love the affordability and lack of subscription requirement like similar products. Would absolutely buy again and I recommend to all my friends.

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

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

Have been using these cameras for years and installed on every corner of my house. Best choice in home security.
