It’s easy to get duped by home camera systems. Many of them sell you the equipment really cheap only to find out they have a limited trial and then require expensive long-term subscription services to even use the devices or store data.

Tapo cameras, however seem to still be bucking the subscription trend by selling fully operational cameras that don’t need a subscription.

Even better, it’s not like they are nerfed with expensive pay-to-play higher end features. The cameras are able to do person, vehicle, pet, package detection, capable of sound detection for a baby crying, glass breaking, and dog barking – all without paying a cent more or a subscription. It even has the ability to save to local or your own cloud storage.

It’s nice to see a company still keeping control in the hands of the users/owners.
