Thought I’d try a C100 camera out as very cheap to buy! Of course the main omission is no native HomeKit support, which I have worked around to some extent using HomeBridge.
Now the app is quite nicely laid out and functionality is good, only two issues I find so far are:
1. Sharing an image inside the app via Messages gets you stuck in that submenu, go cannot get out of the messages ‘slide up’ after sending without force quitting the app.
2. Favourites is spelt wrong for the U.K., it has a U in British English.
The camera image quality I find very good, even in night mode. I’d go as far as to say amazing for under £20! The audio is clearly discernible at either end (mic/speaker). And motion detection works nicely too.
Now if the app/device had HomeKit support it would be 5 star and I’d fill my house with their cameras. Eufy, another Chinese brand has announced a similar camera for US launch shipping June, at a compatible RRP, that has native HomeKit support and HomeKit secure video promised via a firmware update.
Come on TP-Link you could grab some of this market too, especially as you sell in stores unlike Eufy/Anker.
Overall like the app and camera, but need native HomeKit support.
