I rarely give out five starts, but this deserves it, if it was $50 I wouldn’t, but at $30 this is an outrageously awesome little camera that ***may*** fit your needs perfectly: If you just want a little camera, you don’t need HD res, and your wifi is...

As of Spring 2016, the web based app doesn’t work in Chrome Or Edge. I find this laughable, but it is what it is. It does work in IE if you install a plugin. And the phone always works. Again I can't knock the video res or sound quality at this price....

Image resolution and light compensation is great at this price.

You get what you pay for. Others have listed the main drawbacks: IE video access ONLY NO direct http function access (all functions are addressed by CSS from 'index.html') rendering all monitoring software useless except TP-LINK's sorry interface. Very...

+Inexpensive – as long as this is priced lower than any other cameras. +Good length on the power cord. It comes with two cords, and they can be connected together to make a longer or shorter cord. One cord is 5ft in length, and the extension power cord...

-No night vision – Make sure you know this before buying this. TP-Link has another model which does have night vision, and I would pay a little extra for that. I can see it in a dark room but there needs to be some kind of light turned on, otherwise it...

The first benefit I see is the price and size. The application I see this camera succeeding the most in is monitoring a remote location. Reason being is that if this camera is stolen or vandalized, you aren't out much. Also, I just don't feel like I...

Number one, biggest pet peeve about this camera is that it does not stream video to Chrome, Edge or mobile browsers. Chrome is the most popular browser currently in use and it can only be used to configure the device, not stream. I had to go download...

-Motion detection -Fully featured for being so inexpensive -Configurable display – add timestamps, frames per second to the camera picture viewer -Web interface is well done – settings are laid out well and easy to find. -TP link product page website...

-Resolution and FPS are low -Only works in the day – the Day/Night version is only $10 more… -As many others have pointed out- the microphone on this is almost useless… with no sound in the room it sounds like a kid is riding around on a bicycle with a...

I actually like this camera. Many of the reviewers seemed to expect the miracle of life from this stick and mounter, but it is what it is what it is, a basic starter cam, easy to set up. Easy to move around and mount, trying different locations. Sound...

none.

To start, the price is attractive. The camera itself is compact, setup was easy - as long as you use Internet Explorer - and daylight image quality is OK. The NC200 advertises motion sensing and alert capability. I found this to work when coupled to...

The main drawback is that in anything but very bright lighting the NC200 produces blurry, dark video with the focus continually hunting. Unless you set up a screen capture there is no option to save video to a file. The included microphone is a cruel...

I’ll try to be as subjective as possible with this camera, though I must say this device really isn’t for me. I’ll explain below. The camera looks pretty sleek. Its small and very light – so light that the stiffness of the power cord almost requires...

Unfortunately, for me, the cons greatly outweigh the pros for this camera. I mentioned that in a well lit room it has a good picture; anything less and its useless. No night vision (though they offer a similar model that comes equipped), no ability to...

- Easy to use app - Simple setup - Cloud based so you can see what's going on from anywhere - Built in microphone - Good packaging - Mountable - Acceptable video quality - Price

- Feels cheaply made (cheap plastics) - No POE - Cannot record to the cloud, as far as I could tell. Recordings are stored on your phone. - No way to talk back through the mic, but this is a minor detail especially for a camera this inexpensive.

Before I even begin this review let me possibly save you some time with one simple question: Are you looking for a security camera to “automatically” capture and record motion to an external destination? If yes, don't even bother reading the rest of...

What I'm not knocking an egg for: - Lack of being able to automatically capture and record when motion is detected. This should be a standard on ANY product being labeled as a “security camera”. However this was by design and I can't deduct for that....
