I have the 1080P model and I love it. It is super handy. Thanks for the review, the user manual and documentation is minimal at best. Kudo's to you as I will now be able to finish my install!
So far I only have one of the 5 up. ua-cam.com/users/postUgkxOXxsTZ3ptV_Pk0fFl8bNZvVqeoqBQFwe My son ran out of time, with motion detector etc. I have it over my garage door. It works great. Have seen a couple of cats, my dogs, when I am out front. And had a bee buzzing around right in front of it. It works very well. It even shows the neighbour's driveway, but only shows movement just past my own, which is very long. I highly recommend them.
Thank you for sharing this video with us. I don't have much knowledge on cameras and I purchased this camera. I followed your setup instructions and it work; however, I don't know what type of SD Card you purchased because it is not in your description box. Please help
Unless you removed my previous comment, I dont know what happened to it? I came back to tell you and your viewers that I received the Camera and am very happy with it! For less than $50 (using your Amazon link) the feature rich camera has all the features you mentioned and most of what I needed. Now I need to find a way to conceal it but allow it to operate so it won't be stolen (along with the on device stored data) in case of intruders…haha!
Not sure what happened. :( I didn't remove it. I usually only remove spam comments. Maybe you could hide it in plain sight. Put some ears on it and it might look like a toy character from a Star Wars movie. 😁 The problem with that is that the thief might think it is cool and steal it.
Ive owned this camera for a few years. Is there a way to have this camera stay on a subject when its moving? Ehat mine does is only follows the subject for a few seconds then it goes back to its original spot.
Great video. Just wondering, what if a burglar comes in and recognizes this camera and took this camera, then, there will be no record of proof? If the motion detector works, will get a notification while away from home, but as soon as I turned on my cell, the burglar took the whole camera, then, there will be no proof?
That is correct with the basic setup. They do have a paid subscription service that stores video in the cloud (www.kasasmart.com/us/kasacare). Other cameras, like the TP-Link Tapo, can be connected to a central NVR (network video recorder) that you would install in a secure location. This way if the camera were stolen, you would still have the video... unless they find the NVR. With a camera like the Kasa, it is best to try to mount it out of reach if possible. You could also try to hide it in plain sight, like in the middle of a bunch of children's toys.
How do you delete the local storage video s history? I have a micro SD card in mine and it recorded a lot of motion detection,but I can seem to delete them
I just wanted to give a reference to distance. I'm guessing it could detect motion at double that distance. That being said, the further something is away, the less detailed it will be.
I'd recommend taking the camera very near to your wireless router and configuring it there. Once you've got everything set up, unplug the camera and move it to where you want it to be permanently, then plug it in. It will automatically try to reconnect to the same wifi if the signal is strong enough in that location.
Just bought the camera for my 94 year old moms room to make sure that she is ok in her assisted living. Cannot get the wi to go on on the camera?? Is that the same Wi-Fi as the assisted living wi fi?? Thank you for any help.
Question: I have my kasa app and I have different zones set. My camera does not record when there's activity in the different zones. It only records where my camera is positioned (ex: pointing at my drive way) i deleted the zones and reset the camera and set up the zones with still the same issue. Any advice ?
I would think it can only record where it views. The different zone are where you can access the camera to that specific spot at the time you want to see a different zone and then it will record that other zone now.
I have the camera and where I once was getting the notifications I’m not receiving not 1 notification and I’m not understanding why I’m not getting any at all what can I do to get the notifications
This doesn't have a built in battery. You can power it with a USB power bank or portable power station. It draws around .3 amps when idle without and SD card.
So this thing has stopped working randomly. I have made no changes but suddenly it is offline now and no matter if I reset it and try to set it up again it works for a minute then goes offline. I’ve only had it for a month and it’s just a piece of junk now. I have reset my router, nothing works it’s right in front of the router and had no issues previously. Would love to know how I fix this crap
Do you know if this camera can turn itself on and off through the user's geolocation from either using IFTTT or Google Home? I have a Eufy, and it does use the owner's geo location, but it merely disarms the camera (meaning no alarms or alerts), but a live feed is still active.
It sounds like something may be blocking it from the internet. You could test it by turning wifi off temporarily on your phone. Then see if you can access the camera. If that doesn't work, you may need some configuring of your network. It is hard to say what could be blocking or hindering it.
I have 2 of these cameras and will be buying 2 more for my property. They are fantastic little cameras.
I have 3 of them , 1 outside version and 2 indoor. Love the quality for the price.

Sorry to omit that. It is the SanDisk High Endurance 128GB microSD Card. I have added a link in the description.
Genial video Rick, pero cuantos dispositivos se pueden conectar simultáneamente a la cámara?
No estoy seguro. Solo he probado dos.

fake planter? fake large round candle ?
Can you delete recordings to free up space in the SD card or will you have to replace the card once it is full?
Once the card gets full, it will automatically begin overwriting the oldest recordings. You don't need to do anything.
Very nice!!!!👍👍👍
I have this camera and it is working perfectly. So much so I bought another one.
Can you keep this plugged in for constant use?

Is there a way to watch the video frame by frame within the video on your phone?! I don’t want to watch the entire 3 mins video to see what happens
Can it be possible in application that in every 1hr or 2hr the camera will take a picture automatically? No Video on still pictures.
Does the app charge you for service?????
How do you take apart the camera? I tried to plug the connector into the camera and it pushed it into the camera.
How do you delete the local storage video s history? I have a micro SD card in mine and it recorded a lot of motion detection,but I can seem to delete them
Do you know if it's possible to use this camera with just the SD card, without downloading the app?
Nice review. Thank you.
Yes
@@rosariobarrera9844 Thank you
How do I use the activity mode only? It keeps reverting back to the pan/tilt on the cam.
During the presentation you mentioned being 20 feet away. Is that the limit to the viewing or motion detector distance?
I just wanted to give a reference to distance. I'm guessing it could detect motion at double that distance. That being said, the further something is away, the less detailed it will be.
How often to charge it if mounted outside
Just confirming I can access and operate the camera when I'm away from home and also the contents that have been recorded on the SD card.
Yes to both. When you are on cellular, you can lower the resolution if your connection is slow.
Can the video on the sd card be deleted via the kasa?
What do I do if it won't connect to my wifi? It's in a good spot. My phone connection to my wifi no problem but the camera wont.
I'd recommend taking the camera very near to your wireless router and configuring it there. Once you've got everything set up, unplug the camera and move it to where you want it to be permanently, then plug it in. It will automatically try to reconnect to the same wifi if the signal is strong enough in that location.
Does it automatically reconnect if power goes out?
Yes.
its imposible to connect it to the internet!!
I have the same problem connecting to the internet
Does SD card come with this or do you have to buy it separate.?
Can you buy SD card any where?
It doesn't come with one. You can buy one anywhere. A card like this is a good option: amzn.to/3xDylvA
Just bought the camera for my 94 year old moms room to make sure that she is ok in her assisted living. Cannot get the wi to go on on the camera?? Is that the same Wi-Fi as the assisted living wi fi?? Thank you for any help.
Yes it needs wifi for remote monitoring on a 2.4ghz wifi band. So yes the assisted living wifi.
great done.

I have the camera and where I once was getting the notifications I’m not receiving not 1 notification and I’m not understanding why I’m not getting any at all what can I do to get the notifications
Not a pro, but try resetting or making sure the notifications did not accidently get turned off.
my phone connected to kasa wifi but after that it cant connect to my wifi..takes forever and it would only say unable to connect
Can you use this with out wifi?
This doesn't work without wifi connected to a network.
Do this camera have a battery
No. It requires power. You could plug it into a USB power bank (like would be used to charge a phone) if you want it to have portable power.
Do you need and Alexa to use voice with this ?
No. You can use the Kasa app.
Can I make the notification have sound on my phone
You might be able to but that would be a function of your phone. I would search online for instructions for your specific phone model.
How long is the battery life without plug ?
This doesn't have a built in battery. You can power it with a USB power bank or portable power station. It draws around .3 amps when idle without and SD card.
Does anyone know how to change the camera ip?
Have been trying for 3 days to connects please help. I am going to take it back ;-((((((
How do i delete recordings?
Does anyone know how many people can log in to the app to see the same camera?.
I'm not sure of the limit.
Can you clear out the SD card in the camera from your phone??
I'd like to know the answer to this as well
Yes, in the app you can reformat the SD card, which will erase all recordings. @april carter
So this thing has stopped working randomly. I have made no changes but suddenly it is offline now and no matter if I reset it and try to set it up again it works for a minute then goes offline.

Would love to know how I fix this crap
Not sure on that one. I would contact Kasa (TP-Link) and see if you can get a warranty replacement.
How tf do you put the mini SD card???
Move the lens up. The slot is below it.
I I can’t find the network name and do I need an SD card to use it
Make sure you're phone/tablet with Kasa app is connected to the 2.4ghz wifi band. It works without SD but won't be able to record.
I install app and can't create an acct
Is it waterproof?
This model isn’t waterproof and is made for indoor use.

Not sure if you can turn it off that way. You could use something like the Kasa smart plug to turn it on and off.
I just got mine , and everything was fine until I tried to go back and watch my pets , I noticed that once I leave home it disconnects ..
It sounds like something may be blocking it from the internet. You could test it by turning wifi off temporarily on your phone. Then see if you can access the camera. If that doesn't work, you may need some configuring of your network. It is hard to say what could be blocking or hindering it.
are you teathered to your cell? You need wifi continually.
Forget it
By the way your talking wayyyyyy to fast
you can adjust your speed on the UA-cam set to slow the video down.
microusb in 2022? nah. instantly uninterested.
I know right? I hate the microUSB
its a good camera
