The pros:
Connecting was easy, as was linking to the app.
I use a Synology NAS myself, and adding the camera was simple because the NAS automatically detects the (ONVIF) camera.
The image is simply excellent. I can now perfectly see who's letting their dog do their business in the front yard. (Thanks, neighbor. You've probably already found it in the mailbox.)
The cons:
The floodlights should turn on upon detection, but unfortunately, this isn't consistent. It works sometimes with one camera, but not at all with the second. Manually, it does work.
The camera sometimes misinterprets a bird from a person, and you receive false notifications on your phone from the Tapo app.
With infrared imaging (night mode) combined with fog, you receive notifications that someone has obscured the camera. (This is probably due to the camera's location.)
I've played around with the settings and sensitivity, but so far, the cons haven't been resolved. Hopefully, this will be improved with future updates.
All in all, great cameras with a few minor issues.
