Tapo C210 2K 3MP Pan/Tilt Indoor Camera House Security Camera, WiFi Camera, No Monthly Fee, AI Detection, Dog Puppy Camera, Baby Camera Monitor, 360° View, Night Vision, Works with Alexa & Google

After reading a number of bad reviews I was sceptical but figured for the price I'd risk it. WOW i'm so impressed, the picture is crystal clear. Anyone who says it's not needs to get their eyes tested. I'm 64 and downloaded the app and had it running in 5 minutes, including the update it needed. The pan and tilt works great and you can save your selected positions so that you can get it to turn and pitch via a one touch, and I didn't know it could do that. I even managed to video record myself sitting on the sofa lol. The movement is silent and I didn't expect that for this price It's now looking out my double glazed window at the back garden to see who's cat keeps digging my flowers up. I've tested the night mode and no problems with the infrared as reported in another post. It hooked straight up to my Shy wifi box and I never knew the app can handle 9 of these. I'm SO impressed and will definitely be getting another one or two. Well done guys.

This is a great item, which exceeded my expectations. I didn’t fully read the specs before buying - I already have some Tapo products which work well, and this seemed cheap for an indoor camera so I just ordered it, as I only wanted something to check in on the puppy with when we were out. This is set up in our hallway, where the dog mainly sits waiting while we’re out. As with other Tapo products, setup was a doddle, and it uses the same Tapo app as the lightbulbs. Alexa detected and added it automatically. The picture quality is great, even in night mode, and it zooms in well. Sound quality is good. I don’t use the recording function so I can’t comment on that, but I see you can pay for a cloud recording service or use an SD card to record. The camera has a ‘follow’ function, so when it detects motion it will twist to follow the dog, which works well, and it then returns to the original position. An unexpected benefit is the smart action options in the app which enable you to trigger various actions in other Tapo products. I’ve set this up as a motion sensor light switch. If it detects motion after midnight and between sunrise, it will turn on a Tapo lightbulb in the living room for a set amount of time (I’ve set it to five minutes). This is handy if we have to get up to let the dog out (which we do via the patio doors in the living room) - walking through the hallway after midnight turns on the living room light for five minutes. Considering the price, I think this is an excellent product.

Excellent camera for the price! The 2K picture quality is very clear, and the 360° pan/tilt lets you see the whole room easily. Setup was quick, and the app is simple to use. I especially like the night vision and motion alerts—they work really well and give peace of mind. Great for monitoring pets or as a baby monitor. No subscription needed is a big bonus too. Highly recommended!

I have other Tapo cameras which I have rated (especially for the price). Unfortunately, the motion detection wasn't accurate, and I ended up getting notifications when nothing was there, and none when I know people were there. I gave it the benefit of the doubt, and considered that it may be a problem with that camera, a problem the manufacturers needed to work on, or it was something to do with where I had placed it. Fastforward to the present - I bought a different Tapo, the C210. The good and the bad, in short: THE TAPO C210: + The camera is 'built' on a ball/rotating system, which you can adjust up and down, left and right, remotely, from your phone/the app. It's really convenient if you want to look around the room and see what's going on. It's perfect for pets/children/general security. (See image 1) + You can save 'fixed' camera positions - i.e. if you find a really good angle, you can 'save it' and toggle between them easily rather than adjusting the camera manually on the app. (See image 2) + There's a mode that enables the camera to 'follow' movement, so if your camera is angled at the door, for example, then somebody walks into the room, the camera will follow them. (This can be turned off - the camera can be fixed to a still position). (See Image 4) + There are various 'modes' you can select, depending on what you are using the camera for e.g. to detect a baby crying, motion, people etc. (Motion and people are different, as explained below) - simply turn those modes on and the camera will heighten its sensitivity to those issues. (Although I cannot say how responsive it is to a baby crying, but even with the 'baby crying' feature off, it detects dogs making noises/whimpering). + You can modify the sensitivity to motion (i.e. light/medium/sensitive). My camera has detected a rustling bin bag on all three sensitivities, so it is effective. I have not messed around to determine levels of sensitivity, other than this. (See Image 3) + You can adjust the 'area' within the camera screen (i.e. to only detect motion on a specific part of the frame). It's a handy option for people whose camera coverage also overlaps public space. (See Image 3, also) + Motion vs People detection. - there are separate detections for people and objects (which you can adjust/turn on or off). It's a handy option, depending on what you are using the camera for. (See Image 4 - 'AI Detection' and 'Motion Detection' are separate). + Notifications for movement in general, or people, are separate - the notification will also clearly identify if there's just something moving or if there's a person identified. (See Image 5 - I use an iPhone) + I haven't tested them, so cannot comment on effectiveness, but there are sound and light 'alarms' on the cameras, which I assume go off on the camera, and are to deter intruders. (You may wish to check this - but it seems like a good feature). (See image 4) + Sound quality itself is good - I can hear everything that goes on in the home. + Sensitivity to sound is (a) great quality - a good feature, and good in quality itself. + Fantastic price for the item. + Good quality image, even at night. + No subscription necessary - although you may wish to buy a micro SD card separately to record movement. (Note: nothing over 256gb is supported) + Easy to use app - very simple and straight forward options, as far as apps go. + Quite easy to setup - although a tiny bit of messing around when connecting to wifi. + Easy 'recording' features - although I am awaiting my memory card, so will report back with any useful findings/issues. - The instructions aren't the best. If you aren't 'tech-minded' you may struggle slightly to set it up (although it is not a complicated set up, by far, it can be a bit finicky) - I'd recommend watching a YouTube video, as I imagine they will be substantially better than the small instruction book. (Although when I had issues, I didn't resort to this, fiddled with the wifi a bit and it worked). - The instructions for app use/features is poor too. I have had to mess around with the item to work out how best to use it. It wasn't until messing around with the app that I discovered the features within and things like people/motion being detected differently. - If you plan to use this facing out of a window, I wouldn't recommend it. Night vision is good generally, but there is a small light on the camera that reflects on windows so visibility outside becomes distorted. - A small issue that I experience - sometimes the app isn't the best with data connection. Not awful if your camera is recording constantly, but if you get a notification whilst you're out and you want to check, it can take a while to load and/or a few attempts, and you may have missed the movement (especially if using this camera without recording etc - i.e. 'live' only). All in all, a fantastic budget option with various settings to meet the criteria of many. Some minor issues that will need to be rectified to improve it, but as far as use, price and features go, it's an item that will cater to a lot of needs.

Been using the this camera for a few weeks, and it’s been fantastic. The 2K video is really clear, and the pan/tilt function makes it easy to see every corner of the room. I love that it has AI detection and night vision—it even alerts me when my dog moves around at night. Setup was simple, and I appreciate that there’s no monthly fee. Works seamlessly with Alexa and Google, making it super convenient for everyday use.

Ho acquistato questa video camera su consiglio diretto di un'amica che la aveva già a casa sua. La telecamera è di semplice utilizzo, va collegata alla rete elettrica e tramite app dedicata connessa al wifi. Dall'app si può verificare la connessione, si possono aggiungere altre telecamere (cosa che farò al più presto), si può zoommare e ruotare l'inquadratura. La telecamera può essere appoggiata ovunque e persino essere fissata al muro sia in posizione orizzontale che capovolta. Unico, unicissimo neo, arriva con la presa inglese (come mostro in foto) ma problema sormontabile con un semplice adattatore che costa non più di 1 euro.

such a superb little camera, , no mandatory subscription costs, excellent software combination of AI human detection, motion tracking is brilliant night vision is good, surprisingly even when night vision is off the sensitivity of the cameras are great in the dark, plenty of detail suitable for outdoor IF the camera is protected from the elements - under a porch, etc these are a bargain

I was wary of this but i have to say for someone who is not a bit into gadgets or setting them up, i did it myself. So its really very simple. Works really well and amazing value for the money.

J’ai acheté cette caméra lorsque j’ai adopté un petit chiot et qu’il devait passer des journées seul à la maison. Après avoir installé l’application sur mon téléphone, créer un compte sur celle-ci et lié la caméra avec l’application j’ai pu très facilement trouver le meilleur endroit de ma maison Pour pouvoir observer mon petit chien. Le fait d’avoir le micro a été en plus pour moi, ce qui m’a permis à plusieurs reprises d’intervenir, lorsque je voyais mon chien, faire une bêtise. L’image est correct pour le prix que j’ai payé la caméra. Petit inconvénient pour la nuit c’est pas très pratique lorsqu’il fait noir il est là.
