Tapo C212 Pan/Tilt Indoor Camera, 2K 3MP Security Camera, No Monthly Fee, Smart Motion Person Detection, Ethernet or Wi-Fi Connection, Advanced Night Vision,Two-way Talk, Works With Alexa & Google

So easy to install and works really well. Zoom quality and night vision are outstanding. Great value and excellent quality. Easy to access through the app. I would recommend these. This is one of FOUR which I now have after buying one to test it out initially. 😉👌

Great product, easy to set up and use alongside the other cameras I have. Good price, nice image even in the dark. Connectivity took a couple of goes but once I had got closer to the router was easy. Good options for motion detection. Love it.

I was skeptical about the price of this camera considering the features claimed but I was thoroughly surprised by this product. I have a home assistant server with a motionEye integration which has multiple wireless cctv cameras attached. This allows me to store video locally and I do not need to use any external apps nor pay subscriptions. To be able to configure this setup I use the RTSP protocol which serves up a live video feed but not all manufacturers allow this. The reason for this is to force you into using their proprietary app to store video in the cloud. This is usually through a costly subscription and renders the camera almost useless (other than as a live camera feed) if you don’t pay monthly. I find this practice extremely wasteful as it’s a soft lock they’ve decided to add with no technical reason for the limitation and likely causes a lot of these devices to end up being thrown away. It is therefore a somewhat unique and most welcomed feature that Tapo have provided: Full RTSP video feed support as standard. The cameras plastic case itself feels a little cheap but it doesn’t matter too much as it will just be sitting on a shelf in the corner. The stand is adequate with a rotating ball joint. The power is unfortunately via a barrel connector which is by far the biggest let down of this product. This should be a USBC port and there are no excuses for it not being one. The power cord is not long enough and as it’s a proprietary power adaptor you can’t just swap out for a longer cable like you would with usb. A bit of a hit and a miss. To setup the camera you have to download the Tapo app on your phone and follow the process. Very simple to go through and it’ll be accessible in no time. From here you can enable RTSP in the config and the stream will be available via a specific address. It requires you to provide a username and password to connect to the stream for extra security. The app doesn’t state the name of the stream (rtsp://IP Address/stream1) so I had to look it up but it was quick to find. Once completed I was able to configure my server to work with the camera no problem. The cameras picture quality is better than my older cams and is very sharp. It is only 1080p but I’m impressed with the definition. For the price you cannot complain at all. As an alternative to the RTSP feed, Tapo do offer a cloud storage service. If you want to use it instead then it is available via their app which feels better than other manufacturers I’ve come across. I don’t know if it’s value for money but seeing as they allow RTSP it doesn’t hurt shouting out their cloud service. I am quite conscious about privacy with network cameras and I like to turn off all remote access. To do this, once you’ve confirmed everything is working you can then add a firewall rule on your networks router to allow all LAN access but block all internet requests by the camera except for port 123 which is used to update the cameras internal clock. If you ever need to change the config you can enable the camera briefly to make the changes via the app. As your using RTSP via your local network it doesn’t need to connect to the manufacturers server to continue working. In summary, a highly configurable versatile camera for a great price that offers a sharp picture. Due to Tapo allowing RTSP as standard I will be buying many of their products in the future. Highly recommended.

Great quality video. Night vision is good too. Occasionally firmware updates can cause problems so disable auto update and wait for a week or so. Works well with smart things. Local recording on constant loop is much better than relying on motion sensors but the motion detection is actually OK on these. Very small and easy to hide. Needs USB C power but WiFi works well for 2k streaming

Really good quality camera. I use it indoors but to face outdoors. The quality of the pictures especially at night is really good. I've purchased a few and with my recommendation friend have as well. Easy to set up

Great little camera. The Tapo app and whole ecosystem is brilliant in my opinion. Subscription and ad free - works really well with an SD card. An absolute breeze to set up - with the adhesive pad and magnetic base, I got this up and running and installed in position in under 2 minutes. The Image quality is great and the lights are a great addition to capture even better quality footage at night. But even without the lights, the night vision quality is really very good and far better than the Yi/Kami camera I replaced with this. Although this is an outdoor camera, I've used it indoors as I think it looks nicer than a lot of the indoor cameras you can get. This is small and can fit really snugly into the corner of the ceiling. You can manipulate the bracket into just about any angle and the camera view has the option to invert it, so you can set it up either way up. It comes with a really good length cable so you can run it quite a distance from the power supply if needed.

Very good easy to set up

"I've been using the Tapo WiFi Indoor Camera for a few weeks now and I'm really impressed with the quality. The video is clear, even at night, and the motion detection works great. I also love being able to check the live feed from my phone when I’m away. Setup was simple and the app is user-friendly. Definitely a good value for the price!"
