Why Tapo is Actually Great

Unlike Ring ($3.99-20/mo required for video history) and Nest ($8-15/mo), Tapo cameras are designed to work fully without a subscription. A 128GB microSD card ($10-15) gives you days of continuous recording for free. This is why Tapo cameras are consistently recommended as the best budget security cameras.
