TP-Link Tapo Pan/Tilt Security Camera for Baby Monitor, Pet Camera w/Motion Detection, 1080P, 2-Way Audio, Night Vision, Cloud & SD Card Storage, Works with Alexa & Google Home (Tapo C200)

This security camera is great value for the money! Excellent quality picture and audio sound. The setup is very easy and the app is user friendly. I purchased the SD card which is an option, or you can pay for the subscription that is offered. I love the rotating feature of the camera. The night vision is very good. I recommend this product.

This TP-Link Tapo camera is an excellent product. It was very easy to install and set up using the mobile app. The image quality is clear and sharp, and the pan and tilt functions work smoothly, which makes it perfect for monitoring a room, a baby, or pets. It does exactly what it promises in the specifications and has been very reliable so far. Highly recommended.

Very nice camera with lots of great settings. Very affordable. It alerts you with any movement or if a baby is crying. It has night vision mode. You can also set it to move to any motion or movement in the room or leave it still. It connects to your phone so you can check in on animals. You can rotate it from your phone and can speak through the camera. I’ve purchased this twice and recommended it to friends who’ve also purchased this. We will also be purchasing a few outdoor cameras soon.

Tapo Camera/Monitoring System Certainly a fairly economical video monitoring system. We made 2 purchases initially then added another a few weeks later and 1 more for a total of 4 covering 4 different areas/rooms. 3x was 1080HD and 1x was 2k version. It’s been a few months of daily usage and monitoring, for the most part they have been quite beneficial but not without some shortcomings. Below are some pros and cons: PROS: Video: High enough quality for 1080HD, the 2k version does add a bit of extra clarity but at a distance greater than 25 feet it’s only slightly noticeable. Pan/Tilt: It’s a pretty nice feature to have, although a bit of a limitation for the tilt part when it’s standing upright; when it’s mounted on say the ceiling, it offers better range for the tilt. Motion Detection & Tracking: both are nice features to have to trigger the camera, the tracking appears to do a good job in following the movements. Cloud or physical SD card storage: good to have both options available but given our needs a few 128GB and 256GB SD cards worked Modes: day mode, night mode and auto mode settings can be easily toggled depending on the time of day and lighting for better video clarity. In addition, the camera has a built in night vision to aid in video capture during dim lighting. Audio: is sufficient and clear enough during recording and live 2-way Ecosystem: Tapo ecosystem/app isn’t too bad, since we have multiple cameras it’s one Tapo app and all the videos/cameras can be streamed/stored in 1 app and displayed 1 screen at a time or split screens in 2s,3s,4s etc. CONS: One of the features that can be improved is the 2 minute pause. During this time, a note will be prompted “you have viewed the live video for 2 minutes without any operation. continue the viewing? “. We find this feature to be a bit of a nuisance especially if one is looking for a continual visual feed. Video capture: the camera appears to have a sleep mode so there may be a bit of a delay before recording begins, thus sometimes some footages aren’t fully captured, sometimes a few seconds are noticeably missing if not longer; at times we also notice with distances greater than 25 feet, footages aren’t always captured or only partially captured. It’s probably not the cameras fault but if there a bit of a weaker WiFi signal, Interference or dead spot then the monitoring system may not sync with the Tapo camera so no video can be seen. We find the kitchen area next to all the appliances may be causing some interference. During this temporary “outage” the (camera) recording seems to be working just not able to view/monitor. Troubleshooting is as simple as getting closer to the camera with the mobile device, restarting the app or WiFi or restarting the Tapo camera by pulling and replugging it.

The TP-Link Tapo camera works great as a pet camera and it’s an excellent value for the price. This camera was super easy to set up and has all the features I need to check in on my pets when I am sat work or away from home. Picture quality is good and the field of vision adequate, and with the panning feature it is easy to look into different areas of a room. You can pan side to side at least 180 degrees as well as up and down to a certain degree. The camera plus into a wall outlet so there is no concern over battery life. I have another security camera that I use in another area of the house that is rechargeable which is great for an area that isn’t close to a power outlet but you always have to worry about battery life and recharging. No concern with this one. As with other security camera you can set up alerts for motion and it has other features. One feature I like is being able to use a SD card to store pictures and videos rather than use a cloud account although you still have that option for a price. Picture quality is good, the only issue I’ve experienced is when the camera is pointed to a window which makes the picture much darker trying to adjust to the bright light. Other than that it’s worked great for me.

Works extremely well and the night mode is clear as day. The tapocare is cheap and easy to set up. Seems like it is good quality and should last a long time. Set up is easy and is compatible with android and iPhone.

I got this camera to watch my aging dog while I’m away from the house. It was super easy to set up and the picture is pretty dang clear. I think for the price I paid it is excellent. Bonus I didn’t have to subscribe to anything to get it at the listed price.

Neat little gadget I use to talk to and communicate with my cats while I'm away. I trained them to know it's me talking to them from the camera. It took a day or two but they made the connection and answered me back with meows . The automatic feeder was not working right for two days and my cat actually went up to the camera and repeatedly and loudly howled into the camera to alert me he was hungry. The feeder is internet controlled so I immediately checked the feedings, saw they were not completed and then immediately dispensed food from the feeder. The camera literally was a life saver. I watch to be sure there is food in the feeder and to verify they were fed, and that their water fountain is still working. This has been a great help especially when traveling. My only concern and the reason for only 4 stars is that the camera doesn't really have a stand, or at least an out of the box ready stand. The stand they provide screws into the wall or ceiling to mount, I just wanted it to sit on a counter. As is it will sit on a flat surface but is is easily knocked over or put askew by cat rubbings. I stood it between two objects to hold it in place but they cut the field of vision of the camera. I'm still happy with it, there is a learning curve so purchase it a week or two before your travel so that you can train them and yourself before required use.
