## At a glance

- The listing claims motion detection up to 7 metres and a 120° view.
- A Tapo H100 or H200 hub is needed for smart features and is sold separately.
- Motion can trigger compatible Tapo-device automations, notifications or an alarm through the hub.
- The listing claims battery life of over one year, while manufacturer material also gives a two-year estimate based on 50 triggers a day.

## Pros

- The stated detection range and viewing angle suit monitoring a defined area such as a hallway.
- Battery power avoids a wired installation, and the listing describes adhesive and magnetic mounting options.
- Customers report straightforward app setup, reliable operation and useful motion-triggered lighting.

## Cons

- Smart alerts and automations depend on buying and setting up a compatible Tapo hub separately.

## Customer feedback

Customer feedback highlights easy app setup, reliability, compact size and motion detection from a distance. Some customers also report Alexa and Google Home compatibility and using detected motion to control lighting. These experiences are relevant for buyers planning automations, but smart features require the separately sold Tapo hub, and reported performance does not guarantee results in every home. The overall rating distribution is mostly five-star, with a smaller range of lower ratings and no stated reasons for them.
- Positive themes: Customers describe setup through the app as easy.
- Positive themes: Customers praise reliability, compact size and motion detection from a distance.
- Positive themes: Customers report using motion detection for lighting controls.
