Works great

Works great and responsive. Requires app sub if you don’t buy an sd card

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.
