TP-Link Tapo TCW30 Indoor/Outdoor HD Security Camera with Pan/Tilt, Sound & Light Alarm, AI Detection & Local Storage — Enjoy 24/7 Coverage with No Subscription Costs

I really really like that you can set up a patrol mode that makes it so that you can have the camera switching between a bunch of angles that you set and can set whatever interval, as frequently as a minute if you want. the app is intuitive and easy to use, the only thing that I don't like is that when you are in night mode, the system kind of forces you to choose between an IR light going off during night vision mode, a full color Spotlight mode that just brings way too much attention to the camera, and a "smart" mode that only turns the full Spotlight on when it senses detection, which is not ideal for the placement of one of my cameras at all. the actual camera is so good that you can put it behind a window and in low light conditions it will record extremely well. my only true issue is that I kind of want night mode on, but I don't want the infrared light on because it reflects off the window and makes the picture unusable to be honest. if they just add a feature where night mode has an off button for the infrared light, that would be absolutely amazing. besides that, 4.9 stars. GET AN SD CARD! the subscription trial is absolutely amazing and will spam you with notifications until you find tune the parameters of your cameras, but besides that the subscription is totally worth it for people that have the disposable income. I'm going to be buying some SD cards and seeing how it works from there.

This is a great option for a pet camera. I use it to monitor my dog who has severe separation anxiety. I can check in on her and even talk to her through the camera to help her calm down. Also works to keep an eye on anything else that might be going on when I am not home.
