It is immediately noticeable that the camera is new. It comes in a box, which is already made in a new style and with the new logo of TP-Link.
Everything in the box is beautiful and well packed. The kit contains everything you need to install the camera.

All ports and buttons are on the back. There is a small detachable Wi-Fi antenna, a slot for a MicroSD card, Ethernet for connecting to a router (as an option), a port for connecting a power adapter and a WPS / Reset button for quickly connecting to a router via Wi-Fi (via WPS), and resetting the settings (while holding the button).
The bottom of the camera is rubberized. Stands well on the table. There is also a sticker with factory information on the bottom, and a threaded hole for attaching the camera to the holder (which comes with the kit), or even to a regular tripod.
