TL;DR: Though both are owned by TP-LINK, between the two webcams I’d suggest the Tapo because Kasa’s cams are closed to third-party monitoring tools, which was not a very bright decision. Unlike the Tapo, which was super easy to setup and plug into iSpy, you can only access the Kasa camera footage and controls through […]
