Awesome

There is nothing complicated or complex about setting up the app and camera connection. Because of that it just works. I have had the cameras and app for almost two years and it is flawless. Highly recommend this for home security.

Deceptive practices

TP-Link offers upgrades that aren’t in fact upgrades. They charge you for a separate maintenance when you choose upgrade, then tell you they won’t refund the money. Really awful service.
