Nice camera
It’s very easy to setup and works well through the app. Got this to check on our dogs when we are away from home. The video quality is clear and you can see live at any time or get the storage chip and record when you want. Definitely worth the money spent.

Excellent value for a very versatile and feature packed remote camera.
These cameras are excellent! The price paid is minimal compared to the total amount of functionality.
They do track objects that trigger them, maybe not as smoothly as higher priced options (I don’t know, have not tried others).
For the mobility of relocating the camera by simply picking it up and finding a new location, it’s massively more practical than the full wired systems available. Until you know where you want those more expensive cameras to be permanently installed, these cameras are a great alternative! Also, great for keeping a watch on who’s passing by your place at window-level.
Wired cameras have to be mounted high enough to be safe from getting ripped down by trespassers, these see through windows during the day very well. Interior night vision is top notch, seeing outside through windows at night is more difficult.
With the sensitivity turned up, every time a tree branch blows it triggers the cameras. This leads to near constant triggering of alerts during the late Spring, Summer and early Fall.
And, lots of recordings every day. So, you need to use the App to designate areas to watch for motion, or it’ll drive you nuts and frustrate you. To the point that you may start to ignore the notices.
The App provides great control, and allows remote on/off, sensitivity setting changes, you can set to record noise triggers or remove that, set trigger zones, move the camera via the App, and other adjustments.
I have noticed that the App actually does offer more functions, and work a little more smoothly, through my phone than my very new tablet. No idea why, it should be the same App for both platforms, no?
But, of course watching the playback on the larger screen is so much better, so I do use both.
The service plan allows storage of recordings from up to 10 cameras for $10 per month. Much more cost effective than others I looked into.
The cons:
Can’t see thru glass with the built-in lights, at night. Reflection off the glass blinds the camera.
That should have been obvious to me from the start, since these are designed for indoor use only. but I had naively hoped for better night vision performance.
So, if looking out a window, get a motion-activated light to trigger so you can see what’s going on out there. Just don’t set it up where it will shine in your bedroom and wake you up.
App functionality on phone is higher than on tablet, no idea why. You will want to have the App on at least a phone, if not both.
Sometimes, some cameras will trigger, others won’t, for the same event.
Deer moving around the house sometimes are ignored by one camera, recorded by another. Also happened that another outdoor camera from another manufacturer recorded a vehicle trespassing, these cameras didn’t. Had to adjust the sensor sensitivity, but I think the baseline software settings should be set to trigger sooner on vehicles.
Branches moving on the breeze cause constant notices, even with Person Detection Mode activated.
A more elaborate software system might offer better monitoring, but for the pro systems, this requires fully wired systems with dedicated main recording components/control systems . Much more expensive, and I can’t afford to open the walls throughout the property.
Overall, these are great! I have bought several models, both the fixed ones and the bigger moving ones. All look great when set to the highest recording resolution, seem to last a long time, and are a breeze to set up or switch from spot to spot.
I very much recommend this camera! I also hope the manufacturer can produce a 4K version.

Basic Camera with a lot of nice options!
I am writing this review for the Kasa smart indoor camera EC70, features may change from past to future models. I do have a separate security system for the outdoors, and I wanted something simple and portable to use indoors. I chose the Kasa camera because I already have the Kasa smart plugs. For about $20 dollars this is a camera with a lot of nice features. It is extremely easy to install and use. First, download the Kasa Smart App and create an account. Second, plug the camera into a power source, open the app add the camera and follow the directions. Once added, use the 3rd party tab to add to your Alexa account and google home account. If you already have added those accounts, then the camera will automatically be added and you can access it through the Alexa and google home app. The camera once added did require a firmware update and this took about 2 minutes. Some helpful tips I learned during my encounter with set up. The EC70 camera will accept a microSD card from 8 to 256GB used for local storage. Even though it tells you during set up to add, you will NOT be able to do so unless the camera is tilted up as high as it can go. So, you may have to finish set up, then start the camera and tilt it up before you can install it. For the Alexa app, the app will NOT turn the EC70 camera on or off. I am able to connect the camera to my Echo Show and FireTV only. The camera WILL send notifications to any Amazon device, and you are able to pick which devices to receive notifications. For google home, it is essentially the same, you need to have a Nest or Chromecast device in order to view the EC70 camera output. You probably will need to use the google help page for instructions on how to set it up. You can set the EC70 camera for different views of the area you wish to see, and can also place it on patrol mode to automatically move to each view. There are a wide range of positions available to meet your particular specifications and needs. The camera is mobile, unless you attach it to a wall or ceiling with the included bracket. The picture quality is great, and you do have options for the video quality settings depending on your wifi. I read other reviews and some of the negativity of the EC70 camera most likely is due to your wifi, not the actual equipment. I have used this camera to watch the front door when I am in the back, and also to watch the dogs. It is nice to receive the notification that they are at the door, so I can let them out to do their business. I am very happy with my purchase. I hope you find this review helpful.

Like that I can remotely control the camera 360 degrees with my phone. The only thing I don’t like is that there’s no cloud storage with this Kasa cam, and there’s no way of deleting recorded clips without formatting the entire memory card.

Muy fácil de instalar, se ve muy nÃÂtida la imagen, además se pueden escuchar las voces o ruidos que haya en el lugar y también se puede hablar por medio de la cámara; excelente compra! La recomiendo mucho!
MARIANA –
Súper fácil de instalar, calidad buena. Lo único muy malo es que no trae opción de suscripción a Kasa Care y asàsolo puedes utilizar las funciones básicas (y no de grabado en cloud por ejemplo).
