Whether out at work, running errands, or away at the weekend, many people find it essential to stay connected to what's happening at home. This is particularly true for pet owners who want to keep an eye on their furry friends while they're home alone.

It also connects directly to customers' WiFi routers with no need for an additional hub - making the setup easy and simple.

Designed for complete room coverage, the camera offers full 360 degree horizontal rotation and 114 degree vertical tilt, ensuring no blind spots. Whether it's checking in on pets while out, or keeping an eye on a sleeping baby, the wide-angle view gives real-time access to every corner.

The camera also stands out with smart features like motion tracking, person detection, and even baby cry alerts, and it can automatically follow movement, record short clips, and notifies shoppers instantly when required. Plus, it's compatible with Alexa and Google Assistant, so shoppers can view the live feed hands-free on their smart display or TV.

For some alternatives, shoppers could instead try the Blink Mini Indoor Plug-In CCTV Smart Security Camera for £21.99 from Argos which has motion detection and two way audio that lets shoppers monitor the inside of their home day and night. Another option EUFY Cam 2K Pan and Tilt Smart Indoor Security Camera £49.99 from Currys which has two-way audio, remote viewing from smartphones and gives 360 degree horizontal view and 96 degree vertical view. 

The Tapo camera has a high 4.6 out of 5 star on Amazon from over 7,000 reviews. One person said: "Easy set up easy interface and good pic when it’s not moving. I would like if the upward angle was bigger but that’s just where I have it placed. Done the job so far. Being used indoors to watch pets."

Another said: "Very easy to set up. Like the fact you can create preset angles to swiftly see a viewpoint. Not sure if I'll use the voice mode, but it's good to have the option. Was recommended to me by a friend and I'll happily recommend it too."

"These are excellent quality. Easy to set up and with no subscription necessary. We’ve been using them for a few months and have found them really effective. Great product and excellent price," said another.

Not everyone agreed, however, as one shopper said: "Video quality is excellent. While moving camera makes noise. Returned."

"Great camera to begin with but after a couple of months the camera no longer moved the full range of motion and I can no longer use the playback feature even though there is an SD card fitted," said another.
