The camera is nice

I can’t fault it ,it’s a great indoor cam image is great

Better than Kasa App but

2026.7 update:

Please fix iPad version, when toggle Pan and Tilt, the floating window that allows me to pick the viewpoint, (1,2,3,4, etc), is blocked by the other floating window of Panoramic view

I wish I can personalize / customize the Favorite tab on the main screen of the App.
I tried long-pressing one device to delete from the favorite tab, but it indeed deleted the device from the whole thing and I had to add it and set it up again. Please allow us to customize which devices I want to set as favorite. There is no difference between the tabs: favorite and all devices. Both are the same!

After using Kasa App, I tried Tapo. I know it is made by the same company.

But Tapo App has more features.

The only 2 things I like more from Kasa:
1. Camera names are sorted alphabetically
2. The latest movement detection is displayed on each camera (on Kasa) as in “00 minutes ago” while on Tapo it is displayed as “13:12” (example time).

2025.9.8 update:
The App allows you to tap and hold each camera and it starts wiggling. Then you can sort according to your preference.
Another advantage over Kasa is that you can choose to record only upon detection that saves SD cards’s life.
