Pros and cons

According to our IP camera expert

Thanks to the built-in floodlight, no one can enter your house or garden unnoticed.
The camera recognizes people, animals, and vehicles, so you receive less unnecessary notifications.
You can store the footage on an SD card, so you don't need a subscription for cloud storage.
Because the camera is corded, you have to install it near fixed wiring.
You need a good WiFi signal in the spot where you mount the camera.

Description

With the TP-Link Tapo C720, no one can enter your garden unnoticed. The built-in floodlight turns on automatically when it detects movement, so you can see exactly what's happening during the day and at night. This IP camera recognizes the difference between people, animals, and vehicles. This means you don't receive unnecessary motion notifications when a car drives past, for example. Via the Tapo app on your smartphone, you can set the types of motion detection notifications you want to receive. You can also set the brightness of the light and set up motion zones. As a result, you only receive a notification and the light only turns on when the movement is detected in that zone. The camera has a wide 150-degree viewing angle and records in a sharp 2K resolution. You can store footage on an SD card, without an extra cloud subscription.

Good cameras but not (yet) optimal

Sharp image
Easy to connect
Great app and operation
Detection not optimal

The pros:

Connecting was easy, as was linking to the app.

I use a Synology NAS myself, and adding the camera was simple because the NAS automatically detects the (ONVIF) camera.

The image is simply excellent. I can now perfectly see who's letting their dog do their business in the front yard. (Thanks, neighbor. You've probably already found it in the mailbox.)

The cons:

The floodlights should turn on upon detection, but unfortunately, this isn't consistent. It works sometimes with one camera, but not at all with the second. Manually, it does work.

The camera sometimes misinterprets a bird from a person, and you receive false notifications on your phone from the Tapo app.

With infrared imaging (night mode) combined with fog, you receive notifications that someone has obscured the camera. (This is probably due to the camera's location.)

I've played around with the settings and sensitivity, but so far, the cons haven't been resolved. Hopefully, this will be improved with future updates.

All in all, great cameras with a few minor issues.
