Kasa 2K+ Indoor Wired Security Camera - Works as a Baby Monitor & Pet Camera, Person/Motion/Baby Cry Detection, 2-Way Audio, Night Vision, Subscription-Free Local Storage or Optional Cloud, KC400

this camera is amazing. for the low price point the quality is unmatched. setup was a breeze and the app works very well. I like it because it doesnt require monthly monitoring fees like some other cameras. I use these to check-in on my fur babies. Sound quality is great as the the viewing angle. The night vision functions works well enough. two-way function works well too. Seemless integration with the Kasa app.

Such a great product for the price, it requires WiFi to use but I have never had issues with it failing or not connecting to the network. The set up process is super easy. Personally I also got an additional wall mount similar to a command hook; plugged in the camera, downloaded the app and it basically set its self up from there. Now when I leave the hosue all I have to do is press on from my phone and it has the option to record continuously, by movement, location, lights or sound. I use the movement program as my animals are crated and it gives me peace of mind that my babies are safe, no one's breaking in and that I didn't forget to blow out that one candle. For $40 even I would buy this again just for its quality and all of the other options like lights, switches. Locks, plugs that can all be controlled by the app. This cameras photo quality is also really great! It also provides a night time vision (though is black and white) it is very clear and I keep this on at night time as well! Oh the app cost like 3 a month or $30 a year for the record and save capabilities

Love the quality video it produces. So impressed I purchased another one. A nice and easy set up. Helps protect my home.

For price/performance this is a tough camera to beat. The image quality is excellent and, so far, network connectivity has been solid. Night vision is solid but we found the motion detection to be hit and miss. We are playing around with the length and sensitivity settings so we might be able to tweak this in so it performs well. So what is the (near) fatal flaw? The microphone. To be fair the microphone is excellent. Like crazy excellent. As in we can hear ourselves clearly on the app from several rooms away excellent. While disconcerting that isn't the worst of it: you can't turn it off!!! You can set it not to record but you can't actually turn it off! Crazy! How is that acceptable on any level? Well, it is not so I covered it. It is very easy to find; it is the little hole on the front bottom left of the device. Personally I used a small silicone foot that I had laying around but I'm sure I could've used some tape and cotton (or something to baffle the sound). I only docked one star for this egregious fault because it was so easy to fix. To be clear I did quite a bit of searching on how to disable it through software but the support folks in the Kasa forums are quite adept at intentionally misunderstanding the questing and answering an adjacent question (No Ms. Solla-topee, nobody is asking about how turn off 'recording audio' -we want to SHUT IT OFF COMPLETELY....sorry about that). Anyway, the only other issue we had probably won't be a problem for other people which is the IR LEDs night vision are very (very) bright. We're using this camera to look out to our front walkway which means it is mounted in a window and when it goes into night vision mode we only see the reflection. I have a work around for that too and since, in standard uses, bright IR would be a good thing certainly didn't dock a star. Another bonus is that the cloud service is completely optional. We are using an SD card and just saving locally. Seems to work well. On a side note, there are three video resolutions available: WQHD (2560x1440) which they erroneously call 2K (2K is a digital cinema standard that is 2048 × 1080), 1080p/Full HD (1920x1080 as long they are following the standard), and 720p/HD (1280×720 as long as they are following the standard). If you have a laggy network, old phone, or a small SD card you should consider one of the lower resolutions. Overall I would recommend this unit so long as you: A. Don't care about the always on audio or B. Don't mind covering the microphone.

I’ve had this camera for 2 years and it’s worked mostly great! I’ve had some issues with it not giving me a motion notification so I usually just turn it off and back on in the app and it’s fine BUT I think that is an issue with my WIFI and Not the camera. I’ve used it mainly as security camera to see who’s going in my room when I’m not home it’s worked great for that, the night vision is usually good the first time I set up the cam night vision was great then I got a new WiFi box or something and after re setting it back up the night vision doesn’t really work as good but I believe it has something to do with the position or lighting, no a big deal for me really. Overall it’s a good camera the motion and person detection work well and the recording picture is clear and I believe you can adjust it more in the settings. Also the app is great I don’t recall ever having an issue, set up is pretty easy for the most part. Would recommend

Great camera, I use mine for a security measure that watches the coming and going.

This camera is a great starting point. Cannot zoom in to see clear details at 150m away. Sometimes the recording of the video is choppy and not smooth, but better than nothing.

Perfect!

Prodect is ok but delivery company very very Bad company Name is IMILE they are not delivering on time very dealying

Just great, replaced my Ring Cam as I could simply add an SD card and access the recordings that way. Quality is just as good if not a little brighter. No subscriptions are required!
