TP-LINK tpCamera App Reviews

clean and simple design, smooth stream live video, sensational!

App is simple and good. Good image quality with remote viewing. I suppose the main credit goes to the TP link cameras - $35 a piece for high quality video is good value !

Downloaded app and set up camera, was working fine. Then opened up camera on computer and could no longer view on phone! Would not show up no matter how many times I reset it or even change all the admin setting and re add it to my cloud account! Working fine now with new update

Ever since the last firmware upgrade, most of my cameras show up as offline in the app, but work fine via the website. This latest version of the app fixed this for one out of 4 cameras. Still needs a lot more work before being a useful app

The latest update removed the remote viewing, only have local viewing now. Which is what made it useful, what happened to it. Where is motion detection and notification?

The app is great regarding control of the camera, the only downside to the n200 camera is that its stationary (meaning once placed somewhere it cant move left, right, up, or down. But other than that it seems to be great!

I use to be able to view it from another country suddenly now is unable to . Please look into it . Kept saying will update for cross region viewing . It had been a while ,please get it right . Thank you

I love it works really good

This outfit is a joke. Got a cloud camera with a to-link router and tried to set it up. The instructions are barely literate, to say the least, and woefully skimpy. After I finally got the camera connected to my home wifi, the software said I needed a "firmware" update. Of course, the update failed, and theres nobody to talk to about it. Continual message of "update failed, try again later." But there is no later. This is just a piece of crap outfit. Nobody (at least in the English speaking world) should waste their money on TP-link.

The camera has been rendered useless by the app. You can only view while connected in same local network unlike a cloud camera.

Cross region viewing was disabled and not restored in the current version.

Disabled cross region viewing makes this app and offline TP-Link cameras virtually useless.

The loss of cross regional viewing via mobile phone makes this app redundant. No more checking on webcams at home while on the road. Having to find a computer , log on and use the web based version is a waste of time. This issue has been going in for months already. Lets get it fixed !

Another firmware update has left my cameras crippled. Now, my cameras only work if theyre directly plugged into my network through a wired connection. Please fix this issue! ---previous review--- I purchased 2 of the $29 cameras on Amazon, thinking itd be worth the (very small) risk if they didnt work out. Turns out, I made a good bet. The cameras were surprisingly simple to set up, and work very well for the price. Only lingering complaint is that the audio feed from these cameras is not at all usable (just a bunch of clicking static). The video feed isnt HD, but isnt bad either. I wanted to post this review to clarify something to those who may be on the fence about these cameras. Specifically, the "firmware update" people keep referencing. When I initially purchased these cameras, the app used to view and configure them was fairly outdated. The cameras worked well, but the app was less-than-stellar. Less than a week later, the app was updated (and refreshed) the the variant seen today. Coupled with that update, was a firmware upgrade. Unfortunately, the firmware update was a fairly crippling one, causing both of my cameras the disconnect after a few hours (and never reconnect unless they were power cycled). Roughly a week or so later, a second firmware update was made available that resolved this problem (my cams have been holding steady since that date). So, in summary - good camera (okay picture, bad audio), good app (thats as of this writing fully functional). Fully worth the price, and recommended for those who desire an economical way to check on the status of their residence when away!

region locked cam? you just defeated the purpose of why we had this installed to my moms front gate. What a waste.

Only works about 10 percent of the time. Always gives the same stupid error after 5 minutes of trying to connect, bad network connection

Terrible.

The app just crashes every time its opened

App is horrible, so is the Website. Very disappointed. You cannot change the Wi-Fi network unless you re-install which is not a quick task. Web support and FAQs are not helpful.
