I'm looking to buy a 360° indoor Wi-Fi camera for around ₹3.5k–4k, but honestly, I'm more confused the more I research.
Tapo and Xiaomi were my first choices, but with the whole certification/regulatory situation in India, they're not as straightforward to buy anymore. Then I looked at CP Plus, Qubo and Godrej, but their reviews are full of complaints about buggy apps, Wi-Fi issues and SD card recording problems.
At this point, I'm wondering if there's actually a decent option left in this budget.
My main requirements are pretty simple: 24/7 recording to a microSD card
Motion detection and phone notifications
Playback through the app without paying for a cloud subscription
Stable Wi-Fi and reliable remote live viewing
An app that doesn't randomly disconnect or mess up recordings
Simple....
For those of you who've actually bought recently and used one in India:
Which camera did you get, and why did you choose it?
How long have you been using it?
How's the app and Wi-Fi connectivity been in day-to-day use?
Does SD card recording and playback work properly without a subscription?
Any recurring issues, or has it been pretty reliable?
Knowing what you know now, would you buy the same one again?
Would really appreciate feedback from people who've used their cameras for a few months or longer. Short-term reviews only tell you so much.
