TP-Link Tapo C225 4MP 2K QHD 1440p Pan/Tilt WiFi Security Smart Camera, Indoor CCTV, Smart AI, Starlight Sensor,Night Vision Compatible with Alexa&Google Home, No Hub Required, SD Storage

I recently bought the TP-Link Tapo C200, and I must say, it has exceeded my expectations. For such an affordable price, it delivers features that even higher-priced cameras don't offer. The video quality is great, the night vision works flawlessly, and motion detection is super responsive.The setup was simple, and the mobile app makes it very convenient to monitor everything remotely. The camera can rotate and cover almost the entire room, which is perfect for home security.Honestly, it's one of the best budget-friendly IP cameras I’ve come across. If you’re looking for a cheap yet highly effective security solution, this is it. I absolutely love it!

Reviewing this product after 3+ years of use. My first purchase was in June 2020 for ₹2,499, repeat in June 2021 for ₹2,199. Price is at par with other worthy competitors. A couple of my contacts using other brands appreciated that I have TP-Link. Consider it a great bargain if you find better price.(Update: Summer 2024, both cameras working fine 👍🏼)Here are some Great Features, along with my take:💫 Super Easy Setup (just had to mention WiFi credentials in the tapo app)💫 Sufficiently Long Adaptor Cable (though I did have to further extend it), Very neat and compact Wall/Ceiling Mount with Camera being Detachable💫 Great Quality Pic/Vids, same as rated (though it can be decreased in the tapo viewer app for streaming efficiency, keeping the recording resolution high)💫 Flawless Motion Detection (though I had to disable it due to too many alerts). SD storage can be saved tremendously if enabled only during motion detection (though I am more comfortable with unconditional recording)💫 Uninterrupted Recording in the SD Card, whether your WiFi goes down resulting in no-view in your viewing device💫 Good Night Vision💫 Auto-Reboot (optional) functionality provided, probably to stabilize the camera's server, in user defined 15-minute window💫 Firmware updates provided by TP-Link whenever available💫 Tapo app is very smooth and well thought of with Pan/Tilt controls, mic/speaker control, two-finger zooming, multi camera/room support, pause recording (privacy mode), manual reboot, SD formatting, easy recording time-range defining by week days, disabling the camera green-LED - just to name the primary features✅ To complete the review, and to be fair, some prominent shortcomings must be mentioned - in a hope that TP-Link eventually provides us firmware/app updates, whenever possible. These are such observations:🥀 No app interaction for 5-minutes results in switching OFF of the view with this message, as shown in the attached pic. It is a major problem for people working in, say, kitchen-sink, and every 5-minutes, one has to wash and dry the hands to press CONTINUE🥀 Tap to Refresh message, as shown in the attached pic. comes up each time the WiFi's internet is disabled for, may be, 30-seconds or more (just a guess). Again a problem for a person having hands occupied and having eyes on the display🥀 No FireTV Support Yet. Now that FireTV is picking up a good portion of the market share, but searching for tapo app in the FireTV apps results in a 3rd party app. Why would anybody provide private Camera credentials to such an app?🥀 Streaming on Monitor is Unreliable. Meaning, if you would like to have camera view on your PC/Mac/Linux monitor, you can provide a URL (with Camera credentials) to any Streaming-Video viewer (example VLC). But after 30-60 minutes or so, I have experienced that the view goes blank/distorted, and link needs to be re-established🥀 Audio Listening Quality is Pathetic, not taking about subject's whispering, even normal talks are very difficult to make out. It could be cost factor, as sensitive microphones do exist, but those must be expensiveFor the above reasons, 1-star needs to be withheld, and this product rightly deserves 4-big stars ⭐⭐⭐⭐

All good with the Tapo security camera. Here’s the benefits offered:Pro’s:1. Build quality is good. The plastic material is sturdy and durable. It won’t break or crack if it falls from hands mistakenly.2. Packaging is innovative and comes in a compact box pack. It comes with a User manual, 2 screws, power adapter and the camera itself.3. Functionality of the camera is excellent. I would rate it 10/10. The app experience is quite good. From the point of setting up the camera to overall viewing experience, the app guides you very smoothly. Anyone can easily setup the camera at the first instance. The camera has good footage storage facility. It supports loop recording feature where it deletes old footage upon storing new footages.4. Video quality is too good considering a 2MP camera. Don’t expect ultra-HD footage at this camera. However a decent video can be expected and everything you need to see will be visible clearly. Faces of persons are also easily understandable with proper timestamp. I have attached images for your reference. The night viewing experience is also superb.5. Coverage is great. It covers an entire room/hall from top to bottom, right to left everywhere. You can use the Pan/Tilt functionality in the app to control the movement of the inbuilt motor and the camera. You can setup up to 8 Viewrooms at different angles based on your requirements.6. From a security perspective, the camera can be trusted. You can control the camera remotely as well as locally. However you need a stable internet connection for all these usages.I have purchased this product during Great Freedom Festival at a price of ₹1386. I purchased this camera alongwith Sandisk 64GB 140MB/s.
