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 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.

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.

This is a nice indoor camera. I use it to monitor my dogs while Im out and I like how easy it is to set up and connect to the network. I use Tapo for my outdoor cameras as well and the use of the app and features it offers are great.

Does the job! Sound is very good easy to operate picture is clear Easy to pan and tilt easy to set up and install! Only negative is I haven't found a way to no sound so while monitoring I hear sounds from half a block away I live near trains so ....... I hv to turn sound down on my phone

With a micro SD card, this camera does not require the Cloud. It needs to be plugged in, is not wireless. Have been using it in the patio garden to see what is going on out there at night. Opossum was not interested, but the bunnies come up to look into it's eyes!! Probably would not use it in rainy weather or when the sprinklers are set to run. I like that I can pan the area or adjust the angle from my phone inside. It is meant to be sitting on its base on a flat surface, not screwed into any mounting bracket.

I really like this product. It's easy to use, the quality is excellent, and the price is great. I'm buying more and recommending it to my friends.

I was going back and forth between this camera and another one. I got this because I can talk to my kids through the camera. Easy to use and set up and I went with the subscription on the app too. Good quality video and I can scan/pan the camera around the room.

I empathize with other reviewers who staate "Tapo is Crappo". This new ONVIF/RTSP camera does not compare to the quality or functionality of the older PTZ cameras which had many options and were easy to view/manage in just about any IP Camera viewer app. For starters, there is no way you can use this camera without installing the Tapo app. Why must you eat up your precious phone memory by installiing a NEW app for every piece of hardware you want to access remotely? Well folks, that seems to be the Brave New World of proprietary products and self-centered corporations manufacturing the products we need. This camera has no setup where you can browse into the camera and change all the settings. Can you assign a static IP? NOPE. Can you assign a custom camera port #? NOPE Can you assign preset positions? NOPE Can you use an http browser to connect to the camera, adjust settings, and view streaming video? NOPE, NOPE, and NOPE The mounting options are cheap. In the past you were given a bracket that allowed you to adjust in the vertical and hoizontal planes. This comes with the cheapest mounting bracket that would be possible for the human brain to conceive. Is horizontal adjustment possible? NOPE Is vertical adjustment possible? NOPE You essentially stick this on any horizonal or surface the way you want it with no possibility to fine turn where the camera is pointing, via bracket. You must "hope" that the PTZ movement of the camera is able to point it where you want to view. If not, then you're either SOL or you must purchase a camera mounting bracket to give you the movements that should have been included as standard. Given all I say above, you might be surprised to know that my opinion this camera is that it's not a bad camera and could be consideered better than average, considering the competition. Yes, many would consider this crappo and I'd have to include myself in that crowd, but if you consider the limitations vs. price, then this camera becomes a little less crappo because its' limations can be managed, especially when you consider that all the newer ONVIF/RTSP cameras that I've investigated, many at a MUCH higher price, has the same or worse defects than this camera. So, what were considering is what is the LEAST Crappy camera available? Believe or not, folks, this is probably the Least Crappy camera out there. Your system prerequisite if you want to use a non-Tapo view app to view/operat this camera is that you need to setup Port forwardings of 2020 (internal) and 554 (internal) to the IP Address for EACH C200 camera on your network. Your router must be able to make IP Reservatons for DHCP for the IP of this camera. If not, your IP will keep changing and you'll continually lose remote access to this camera because setting a statis IP Address in camera setup is impossible. But, if you can setup and IP Reservation on your router and can port forward for EACH camera to 2020 and 554 to each camera then you're likely okay with this camera. Once this is done, you might be able to view this camera on 3rd party IP Camera viewer app that support ONFIV/RTSP. Because TAPO is an Alexa skill, it's pretty easy to view this camera on any Alexa Echo SHOW device. I setup a routine (Named for my cat) that will cause Alexa echo Show to view a fixed position stream of my camera. You CANNOT move the camera using Alexa echo Show, but you can view the camera stream from where it's positioned right now. The Tapo cloud service is worthless, but if you add a 128gb micro SD card, then you can save detected motion to know what's happening when something moves in front of the camera to trigger recoding. This works pretty well and gives you several minutes of recording time. You cannot just click and download these clips, which is idiotic. But, if you play the clip, then click "Record" you can record the playing clip, then download this recording. It's convoluted, but better than removing the SD card, placing into PC, and copying over the clip(s). I definitely am not in LOVE with this camera, and if a REAL camera came along that would allow me to view on Alexa echo Show, browse into configure all aspects of the camera, and use on any 3rd party remote view app, then I'd jump ship in a second and buy THAT camera. But... given that ALL these type cameras SUCK, I woudl choose THIS camera because it sucks at a LOWER price. So, if your camera sucks, it's better to pay less for a sucky camera, if you can. Right now with the state of suck in IP Cameras, I'd recommend this camera as a BUY. I don't like it much, but it's better than whatever else you might be able to buy at a reasonable price. Just like when voting for political candidates, sometimes you just have to go with the one that sucks less out of a field of choices that all suck. Good Luck!!

Excellent as usual

The camera does what it says, and is great for the price. A simple to use and effective camera. Display quality is very good, audio is basic but what do you expect for the price? No issues with setup. Just wish it would allow deletions of movement recordings by the app. Overall very happy.
