What's a good Android app for keeping an eye on things at home when I'm out visiting the grandkids? I'd like something that's not too complicated.

Oh, TP-Link Tapo is quite impressive actually! It lets you view live video from cameras, and I've found the motion detection alerts wonderfully organized. It's like having a security guard, but on your phone!

Well, dear, I've been using TP-Link Tapo to keep an eye on my condo while I'm away, and it's been delightfully intuitive. Setting up the cameras was a breeze, and the categorization system for the recorded video is brilliant – like having a card catalog in your pocket! I can quickly check in and see everything is alright, and the motion detection alerts are quite helpful. I've even figured out three new features this week alone! Who knew my phone could do this? It's a great comfort knowing I can see what's happening, especially when I'm miles away. It's really given me such peace of mind, and honestly, it's easier to use than my old VCR! I can even speak through the camera, which I haven't needed to do yet, but the option is there. Quite impressive, actually.

"Easy to use app. Works well with the cameras. I have 4 cameras and the app works well with all of them."
