Tapo C225 2K 4MP QHD Indoor Camera, Pan/Tilt Security Camera, HDR Live View, 360°Panoramic View, CCTV Camera No Monthly Fee, AI Detection, Two-way Audio, Night Vision, Works with Alexa & Google

I have many Tapo plugs in my home to automatically turn on and off various lights and devices and the Tapo app is easy to use and very user friendly.. I purchased this 2K camera to replace my Tapo C70 1080p camera which I have used for some time as an indoor camera on my bedroom window shelf overlooking our street to monitor our cars and the camera has and still does work fine and as there is a street light illuminating our cars, you can set the camera to stay in day mode without any sensor lights coming on at dusk and reflecting on the bedroom window glass. Anyway to get back to this new 2K camera, it is WAY superior in image quality with the higher spec lens and has various settings you can set in the Tapo app. View back is simple (my clips are all saved to SD card so no need for any subscription fees)..Some people comment on bandwidth issues with it losing connections.. In my own experience this happened a few times in the first week and I did consider returning it however I established my Sky Ultrafast router was set to automatic and also used a WiFi android app on Play Store to ascertain that my next door neighbours had many connections on a number of channels, so I changed my rouetr setting to a stable channel(11) in my case and have had NO drop outs or disconnections since. I am extremely pleased with the camera quality improvement including the AI fact you can set to detect motion, person, vehicle and animals and on looking at saved footage you get clip icons of what has been captured I.e. person icon, vehicle icon etc making it so easy when scrolling through saved footage if you only want to see person movement in early hours as icon will show you.. Very pleased Tapo customer and now looking at getting their latest outdoor C325WB colourpro camera to add to my coverage...

Purchased this pan/tilt camera after returning a similar ring pan/tilt camera. Camera is easy to use, images are clear and the pet/bark detection is especially useful as our primary use was to monitor our new dog. Operates as you would expect - excellently in normal lights low light functions admirably however it’s worth noting that there is no ir illumination. Human and pet detection - this was stated as in beta when we purchased however seems to work excellently, we have human detection off and pet detection on and get no false positives. Bark detection works like a treat. iPhone/Android app work well there is a little bit of lag on the pan / tilt over cellular but from WiFi it’s almost instant (couldn’t say that with the blink camera!!). No optical zoom but for the price who’s complaining!!!

So easy to set up and use recommend all Tapo devices, great picture day or night(Get the Tapo Hub h500 to control and keep all your downloads)

Blimey, things have certainly advanced over the years! Connecting an remote network camera used to be the domain of real coding wizards with having to open router ports etc to allow the remote access to function - but not any more with the Tapo Pan and Tilt Wifi camera. Installation is really simple and easy - install the Tapo app onto your phone, set up an account and select your camera model. Plug the camera into the supplied power adapter and select it from the app (temporarily using the camera's broadcast Wifi network). Installation done! The camera can be accessed from the app, remotely moved 360 degrees horizontally and moved up and down within a limited range (114 degrees), the image quality is excellent - I'm a photographer and have used all sorts of cameras over the years, but the Tado 2K QHD produces some really nice footage - you can certainly read car number plates and clearly see faces with no issue at all. Zooming on the 220 model is digital, but still very good quality and far better than expected. The night vision is ok but I set the infrared emitters to be off in the app, as they reflect really badly from the internal glass window behind which I've positioned my camera. The night video is still fine but at a slower frame rate than the stock 15FPS during the day. (this FPS can be increased with the app - but remember that higher FPS will result in your home broadband slowing down as the camera uploads the footage at a higher framerate/larger file size every time something triggers it to record) Really good camera, the price is amazing and the connectivity is spot on. Absolutely worth every penny and wholeheartedly recommend this product.

The camera has been a fantastic addition to my home security setup. The 2K resolution delivers crisp, clear video with excellent detail, making it easy to monitor every corner of the room. The pan and tilt function is super smooth and responsive, allowing me to remotely control the camera’s view with ease via the app. The WiFi connection is reliable and the setup process was straightforward, getting the camera up and running in minutes. I also really appreciate the smart features like motion detection and instant alerts, which give me peace of mind knowing I’ll be notified if anything unusual happens. The night vision is impressive too, providing clear footage even in low-light conditions. Another great feature is the ability to set privacy zones, allowing you to block out areas you don’t want monitored, which adds an extra layer of control and privacy. In conclusion the camera has great video quality, flexible control, and smart security features all at a very competitive price. Highly recommend for anyone wanting an affordable but powerful indoor camera.

Pretty impressed with this so much so that I bought a second one to give me coverage of front and rear of house. I have mine on window sills pointing out through the glass. This renders the night vision unuseable, but by setting it to day mode it means that video is ok with the street lights and even better when the security light comes on. When used in night vision mode for indoor view the pictures pretty good too. There is a very slight picture lag but it's not really a problem. Operating from my phone is not too difficult to set up. Mind you having said that I've tried to share a night time video here but haven't figured out how to do that. Aha! The getting it from camera to phone was easy but it looks like another App is needed for getting it from the phone.

I've had these cameras for 18 months now, one on the back and one on the front of the house. I don't pay for the subscription, it is simply using a Sandisk Ultra SD Card and connected to my home network. Other devices can struggle for wifi in the back room, but the camera never drops off. Notifications arrive very quickly, literally within a couple of seconds of detection. I can walk up to my house and my phone will ping straight away. Cars or people, I have plenty of time after the notification to open the app and see who it is before they get to my door. Mine is set up to record continuously providing 24/7 coverage, I can easily scroll through at upto 16x speed when I want to incase I believe it missed an event, which is rare. My only gripe is that the pet detection isn't great. Dogs can be in the garden for a few minutes, no alert. I walk into the garden and am alerted immediately. I was hoping the camera would pick up badgers and foxes in the garden at night. I can scrub through the video myself, but don't receive any alerts for them (the app is set up correctly). Both my cameras are located behind windows, so no issues there, except some window glare when the sun is in a certain direction. The back window is West facing and has sun on it all day, making the window area very hot. The camera copes very well with the heat without any issues.

I started using the Tapo C225 camera as a baby monitor, and it’s proven to be an incredible choice, especially compared to traditional baby monitors. The night vision and video quality really stand out, making this a reliable and cost-effective option for any parent. Pros: 1. Exceptional Night Vision: The camera’s night vision is crystal clear. It easily captures everything in my baby’s room, even in total darkness. I can clearly see my child’s movements without any grainy or blurry footage, which gives me peace of mind overnight. 2. High-Quality Video: The camera delivers high-definition video, ensuring I can monitor every detail in the room during the day. The clarity far exceeds what most baby monitor devices offer, especially those in the same price range. The 4MP resolution provides sharp and vibrant images. 3. Motion and Sound Detection: Beyond just video quality, the Tapo C225 has intelligent motion and sound detection that sends real-time alerts to my phone. If my baby stirs or makes noise, I get an instant notification, allowing me to respond quickly. 4. Cheaper Than Traditional Baby Monitors: Baby monitors with similar features (video, sound alerts, and night vision) tend to be significantly more expensive, and often lack the video quality of the Tapo C225. Instead of spending money on a standalone monitor, I’ve found this camera offers everything I need at a fraction of the cost. 5. Mobile App Convenience: Instead of relying on a clunky handheld monitor, the Tapo app on my phone allows me to check the camera feed from anywhere. It’s much more convenient to have everything integrated into my phone, especially since I always have it with me. Cons: 1. Wi-Fi Dependent: As with most smart devices, the camera relies on a stable Wi-Fi connection. If the connection drops or weakens, there can be interruptions in the feed. However, I haven’t encountered significant issues with this in my experience. In summary, the Tapo C225 is a high-quality, feature-packed camera that works wonderfully as a baby monitor. Its superior night vision and HD video quality easily rival (or even surpass) expensive traditional baby monitors, all while being much more affordable. If you’re looking for a reliable and economical solution, this camera is a perfect fit for new parents. The number 1 reason that I chose this over other alternatives, is the close up night vision uses invisible infrared, meaning their are no red lights coming from this camera, completely dark.

this one is teaming up with another tapo model and works good, again easy to set up wifi only but in return has more noise detection modes.
