Customers say
Customers praise the security camera’s picture quality, with clear footage even in daylight, and appreciate its value for money as a budget-friendly option with no subscription fees. They find it easy to set up and use, with good night vision capabilities, and one customer notes its impressive 98 ft night vision range. The functionality receives mixed reviews – while the camera itself works well, some customers report it stops working, and the app experiences issues with lag and freezing.

Excellent Camera! Too much incorrect information in reviews, and question section.
I have a slew of the Kasa smart outlets and they’re excellent. Cheap and just work.I watched these cameras for a long time before trying a couple. I’m glad I did. I got them on a good sale, around 42$ each.My buddy who is a professional security camera installer is blown away at their picture for a camera at 1/4 of his pro cam cost.Picture quality:The night vision is incredible. That’s usually where the picture quality lacks. Picture is crisp and clean when night vision is on.What is even more impressive is the cameras ability to use what light it can pickup at night and keep color and clarity. I have a streetlight that is in my neighbors yard and I don’t use night vision on 2 of my cameras because it can use the available light very well.I will say, I run these on 1080 as I don’t see any real difference at 2k. But just remember, it depends on the screen you’re viewing it on.For me, 1080 is plenty.Spot light:It’s pretty good. Not “impressive” but impressive for something that is running on 5V USB.Siren:Yup, it makes noise. You can even set it to initiate all sirens on your network at once.Siren and Alert settings.YES you can turn both off when motion is sensed. I don’t know what people are doing where they can’t turn that off.Motion sensing:Pretty slick, you can set a irregular squares to areas of interest you want notifications. For example. One cam captures the street, but I only want my walkway. So I set that section to only alert if movement is noticed in that area. Even nicer, you can set up to 4 different sections.Noise sensing/notification:Far too sensitive even on the lowest setting. A good gust of wind will set it off.This is nitpicking, but wanted to address it. All my noise sensing is turned off.2 way communication.It’s OK. Not great. You can hear the people through the camera OK, but the speaker to them is not that great, but again. 42-50$ it’s very good.I will say, it’s possible that when you’re talking through the camera you mouth is far away from the mic on your phone because you’re also watching the video feed.Install is straight forward. Mount anywhere 110v is within the 10’ reach of the cord.I bought a 50’ USB extension cable to power one of these cameras where 110v is not nearby and it’s flawless.Can probably power sufficiently with even longer USB extension.Micro SD card storage:It’s ridiculous that TP-Link hasn’t accurately answered this question.At 1080, the 24/7 recording is approx 12gb a day. So a 256gb card formats at 219gb. Which translates to 18 days of 24/7 recording.The takeaway, at 1080 it takes 12gb a day. Different picture quality will increase or decrease the storage requirement.Saving from SD card.Again. I don’t know where the issue is.When a notification is received the on screen prompts shows you if it was a person or movement.Touch one off them and the software jumps to that event and starts playing.On the screen you’re watching there’s a “RED RECORD BUTTON” touch that, and it starts to record that selection of video to your phone.You can record anything, not just an event. But the event notification just helps locate the times something happens.Easy. No problem. Stop whining!For those that can’t figure that out, if you need to pull the SD card for insurance or police, you have a legit reason! You won’t be pulling the card daily.Ending thoughts.If you’re interesting in an inexpensive but high quality camera, look no further.

DON’T BUY!!!
I bought 2. Then 2 more. Super easy to set up and install. Great resolution. So impressed I bought 2 more for 2 areas where a camera was nice but not absolutely necessary. Now have 6. If they made a solar powered version I’d put one on the top of my shed and capture the whole back yard.UPDATE:Now that these have been up for about a week I am more familiar. You either have 24/7 recording or no recording at all. There is a clip saved when triggered so there is no search for the specific event. Due to the 24/7 recording the memory card will get full and there is no loop recording. You have to reformat the card. There is a button to do so but you have to remember to check available/used memory.Because Kasa does not have a solar powered version I purchased a Tapo branded camera. Tapo and Kasa are both Tp-Link products. The Tapo app encompasses both brands but Kasa does not. The Tapo solar version has 24/7 “recording” but it sleeps when no motion to preserve battery charge. It “wakes up” to record motion. To see a live view you open the camera and it does take a bit for it to wake up for you to see live. It does loop recording and provides a quick view of triggering events so there is no searching. Because the Tapo goes to sleep and it isn’t instant live view when you open up the camera I prefer the Kasa… for the powered WiFi cameras. Both are still recommended.LATEST UPDATEDO NOT BUY! They repeatedly go offline. I have spent hours trying to get them to reset and reconnect. Even though my WiFi shows to be at full strength at the site of the cameras I keep getting a message that WiFi is unstable or there is no internet connection. I’m presently looking for an alternative and expect the 6 I wasted money and an enormous amount of time to end up in the trash. These things are crap… and that’s being extremely nice.

Cameras function without issue.The ONLY reason I don’t think I’d buy them again is the lack of a webUI to view footage. You cannot view footage from your PC without using a third-party app or emulator. If you don’t care about that, then you’ll love this.

Good value for a dependable camera
Nice camera for the money. Easy to setup. Offers cloud storage subscription like most cameras, but does a good job saving to microSD with no subscription. Only thing I wish these companies would do is to make video streaming available on a PC, but it seems that all these cameras only support smart phones.

Excellent to-link customer service
Was unable to connect the kasacam 420sw to my network. Spoke to Renz at tp-link support and within 19 min he had the camera up and running. Spectrum doesn’t have separate 2.4ghz and 5ghz making it difficult for cameras using 2.4ghz only to connect. Very happy with the phone support. This camera has an excellent quality picture and I love the features it has over other outside Kasacams.

So cool.
Easy to install. Great value for the price. Love how easy it is to access video on my phone from any location at any time.

I’ve got a few older Kasa cameras at home. This one is such an upgrade to the others! Very good quality at night and keeps it in colour! Perfect for keeping an eye on my front yard around the clock.

Already have KC200 outdoor camera which is good but without all the features of this new model. (No built in SIM facility on KC200) I have switched off the LED lights and IR at the moment as the video is clear enough without them and it does not stand out at night. That said, they are both good. I have spot lights that detect a person on the drive and they provide more than sufficient lighting. The video is recording in colour with just a weak street light and the sensitivity is correctly identifying a person. I have a128gb micro sim which is more than adequate for several days recordings. I have taken a snap shot of 4.15am today and it is good and in clout. When lights come on it’s outstanding. Came with a USA plug power adaptor. (See photo)The cable is USB ended and fits any suitable adaptor or usb socket. I highly recommend this product but get your own power adaptor.

Easy set up and fitting and powered by USB, connected to the Kasa app first time and stays connected despite poor wifi signal, excellent picture quality even at night. Recommended.

It records pretty high res video day and night, has movement detection zones, detects people, records into internal micro SD. All of which you can view over the internet without a Kasa subscription.
