TP-Link Tapo

Notifications to device keeps stopping working. They show in the app history as being sent, but they are not sent to the device. This keeps happening randomly. I turn off and on the notifications permissions and eventually it works again. But it's annoying and it doesn't make sense. Update: same thing happening with the doorbell call feature, it's not calling my phone unless the app is open.

Overall great tool to use to keep an eye on the house. App controls are easy to figure out, even without a manual. Set up was easy and quick. Camera controls are quick and responsive. Two way communication works great. Only issue I found was with the preset positions that you can set up. Sometimes the images associated with a particular camera show up on a different camera. Example, my kitchen camera preset for the front door shows up in the living room as a preset position.

Poor audio quality. Live feed is okay and can be enlarged. However, playback reels not only cannot be enlarged but the audio quality is pretty bad, and many of the reels have NO audio. I'm working on getting a replacement from the company. but overall quality is not what I expected. Customer service is terrible. you cannot call customer service, and the email responses are not always adequate.
