What owners say

Owners of both cameras are surprised by how much camera they get for so little, and both groups praise an app that is easy to set up. TP-Link Tapo C210 owners love that the 360 degree pan covers an entire room from the phone, that recording to a microSD card is free, and that person, pet and baby-cry detection all work; several own more than one. Their cautions are 2.4 GHz-only Wi-Fi, indoor-only use, no Apple HomeKit and audio that trails the video. Wyze Cam v4 owners instead highlight the HDR image, the vibrant color night vision and the motion spotlight, and free microSD recording, while warning that smart alerts need Cam Plus and that the camera is 2.4 GHz only with no privacy zone.
