I have been using 8 of these for over 2 years. Since they allow local network camera access through RTSP, I have them wired up to a Frigate based NVR system, with alerting through the Home Assistant app. I have mounted these cameras under the roof eaves outdoors and they have been fine - even in heavy rains or hot sun. Not saying that they will survive a rain shower but have been surprised at their quality as outdoor cameras. At <$20 per camera, they have been an amazing deal with great functionality.
The most reliable cameras I've used. I'm switching from Eufy PT cameras to these and best part, no need for a hub, just an SD card and does 24/7 recording. Limit is on the card size but when I need to connect to them, they connect immediately. Eufy PT indoor cameras either LAG or just time out. When I say LAGGGG..... They lag for a minute before showing anything.
Big plus is this comes in black. When you want to place them and places that's harder to see so they aren't an eyesore

The interface isn't the best, and they have a harsher limit on devices connected, and weird rules on what "users" are allowed to do. But they are cheap with a decent picture.
I have a few other tapo cameras and reolinks. The reolink ones are usually fairly reliable, but the tracking of a moving object is faster on the tapo. The reolink is less likely to mistake a tree limb for a person but in my my experience the tracking can break the reset point. (Ie, it follows something past its point it can rotate, so however many "clicks" past it will return to a different spot from "home" over time.
So competing with Eufy now? lol. IMO Eufy > Wyze and have been for years. I do have some Tapo cameras and they are close to Eufy. The video quality is as good but they tend to use barrel power plugs and not USB-C (or in their older units Micro-USB). Some Tapo models have USB-C, it just doesn't make sense why they aren't consistent.
Can anyone comment on whether the Tapo app has recording length limits when live viewing from a cell phone or other device?
I have an older Eufy that we used to use occasionally. Hooked it up the other day while we were on vacation and realized it was cutting off recording at 2 minutes and no way to increase the recording time without attaching it to something that would do continuous recording.
I currently have seven c402's and one c120 in use for over a year now and they've been working great.
Ideally I'd recommend the models that can be hardwired but the battery powered models work great too.
Depends on where you're placing them.
The app is extremely simple to use and has pretty much all the features an average person would want or need.
Pricing is definitely their biggest strength, these cameras are on sale very often and are an extremely good value.
