Kasa 1080p Indoor Pan/Tilt Wired Security Camera, Baby & Pet Monitor, EC71

We have adult disabled children in the family. Sensory rooms were custom made for them but as a family, we still like to do more than check on them every half hour, so this camera was a blessing. It was inexpensive and it actually works. We can talk to each other, we can see the room and the camera follows the movements of the autistic adults inside the sensory room. I could not believe how clear it was, how you can hear everything and how easy it was to upload to our phones inside the house as we go about our day. I don't have a video but I can honestly tell you that this product works very well.

I am actually a pretty fan of these cameras. When I bought them they were about $22 a piece for the 1080p pan and tilt cameras, and at that price I would say they are worth the purchase. The cameras have a pretty good picture in the house. They're not necessarily good enough to read someones name tag, but they definitely let you know what's going on in the room. The motor in the camera to pan and tilt it is pretty quiet. The audio pick up from the room is not super good. You can definitely hear, and if you are talking through the camera to someone in the room and they talk back directly to you, you will hear them. If people are just talking quietly in the room you may not be able to hear them well on the camera. The night vision works pretty well, though of course, the picture is better with a light on in the room. They are NOT good at looking through a window to see outside when it's dark out. The screen or the glass reflect the night vision IR light and blind the camera, so if you want an indoor camera to monitor through the window for what's going on outside, this will only do that with good daylight outside. The app is easy to set up and use. You can install a micro sd card to record video and audio on site, but there is some peculiarity with the format of the video that comes from it. I had something recorded on the sd card, which I have had a lot of trouble (and not yet been successful) in transferring to my computer. In general though, and until I find out that Kasa has been spying on us the whole time, I like these cameras a pet monitors.

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.

I like these cameras. they were inexpensive and easy to set up. I bought two to monitor my moms house. They can pan zoom in/out and rotate. The motion detection is great I can monitor the house when she's not there. The only issue is the sound quality. There's some static and feedback when talking over the mic so much so that my mom and others can't hear me when I'm talking.

These cameras literally saved my aunt's life! My aunt is getting older and is unstable on her feet. Unfortunately, her husband must still work and leave her at home unattended. A relative suggested Life Alert, but she declined (cound not afford a monthly expense). So then I thought about installing these cameras in a few places in her home so her husband can check on her throughout the day while at work. I ordered these for her and went with another relative to help install them. Within a week of having the cameras installed at her home. her husband checked the camera after hearing the notification of movement and watched as she fell in her kitchen, breaking her hip and back. He was able to immediately call 911 and a neighbor and had someone there to attend to her within minutes. If not for the cameras, she would have laid there alone and in pain and perhaps would not have survived. They are very easy to set up and connect. I would highly recommend this item.

Great product. Great quality. I love that the video just videos over the as. Super easy to use and pan where needed. The alerts are great the night vision works perfectly clear. The app controls lag a little but does not affect the video quality or the rating of the product.

I want to preface this review by saying I was excited to find a camera with a budget friendly cost and a good amount of positive reviews, so I was hopeful... Review for: Kasa Indoor Pan/Tilt Smart Security Camera EC70 I purchased this camera on August 17th 2023, it delivered on August 27th. I did not subscribe as I did not want my information stored anywhere, so I purchased memory cards separately. Upon receiving the camera, I was quickly up and running, the instructions were clear and I was able to follow them without any concerns. The camera worked beautifully, seamlessly, and clear, for roughly 2 months. On October 22nd 2023, I started noticing glitches in the streaming and an extremely long time loading. I want to note that my household runs SOLELY on a wifi network and because of this, I am equipped to handle various devices and have a very strong connection. No other device in my household has encountered such problems. Finally after a few hours of glitches and loading issues, I went into "settings" on the Kasa App to help diagnose a problem. Turns out my camera was offline. SHOCKER. After the app prompted me through the laundry list of troubleshooting, I completed this list SEVERAL times. I reset, I unplugged, I reset again, I removed device, I re-added device, reset my home router, still to no avail. Literally, hours spent trying to figure out how to make my camera reconnect. I even went as far as to call my internet service provider to see if there was an outage, even though ALL OTHER devices in my home were streaming perfectly, my phone was working, and appliances were connected. I know, crazy, if I would have had an issue with my home wifi, I am certain any other device or ALL would have issues. But no just this camera. I reached out to the customer service team via email and provided a thorough & detailed explanation of the issues I was having , and they responded with asking me to provide a "small video about the APP slow to load." whatever that means. They provided a link for trouble shooting, and if that still didn't work then I would have to send another email telling them in detail what steps I followed. Which I very much explained in my initial email. I went through ALL troubleshooting steps again, close now to 20 times and was able to get connection but it was somehow worse than before. I emailed them telling them step-by-step, and even told them I wasn't sure why I needed to re-explain the steps I am taking when they are the EXACT same. Granted this camera did not cost me my life savings, but it should work longer than 2 months. They responded telling me to download A WHOLE OTHER APP and follow the steps in the email in the app and send back the files collected, as if I am part of their IT team? HECK NO. I will not download another app and send back "files" just to not have resolution again. Who knows what data is collected during that process. I am almost embarrassed how frustrated I am with this whole thing. I really just wanted to put my experience out there so someone else doesn't have to deal with the bull I just went through. Do not contact customer service, they are NO help, and only send emails during witching hour. I am eating the cost of this camera and know now to better invest in my future purchase. I DO NOT suggest this camera, READ all reviews, good and bad.

Exactly as described and for the price, this is a steal. The picture is so clear and we love being able to see our puppy when we're not home.

Not bad but not as we expected

Muy fácil de instalar, se ve muy nítida 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!

Worst camera pan tilt does not move..move with very Difficulty...not able to share with other family members...I returned bcoz of 10 day return policy otherwise money would be wasted

Have been using these cameras for years and installed on every corner of my house. Best choice in home security.

Works great!! Have it mounted in my house to watch while I'm away. Audio and video quality are great!
