tapo C220

Experience 2K QHD video clarity with this versatile indoor security camera. 360-degree coverage, night vision, and 2-way audio capture every moment in stunning detail. Review: Amazingly easy to setup and connect, wow! - Blimey, things have certainly advanced over the years! Connecting an remote network camera used to be the domain of real coding wizards with having to open router ports etc to allow the remote access to function - but not any more with the Tapo Pan and Tilt Wifi camera. Installation is really simple and easy - install the Tapo app onto your phone, set up an account and select your camera model. Plug the camera into the supplied power adapter and select it from the app (temporarily using the camera's broadcast Wifi network). Installation done! The camera can be accessed from the app, remotely moved 360 degrees horizontally and moved up and down within a limited range (114 degrees), the image quality is excellent - I'm a photographer and have used all sorts of cameras over the years, but the Tado 2K QHD produces some really nice footage - you can certainly read car number plates and clearly see faces with no issue at all. Zooming on the 220 model is digital, but still very good quality and far better than expected. The night vision is ok but I set the infrared emitters to be off in the app, as they reflect really badly from the internal glass window behind which I've positioned my camera. The night video is still fine but at a slower frame rate than the stock 15FPS during the day. (this FPS can be increased with the app - but remember that higher FPS will result in your home broadband slowing down as the camera uploads the footage at a higher framerate/larger file size every time something triggers it to record) Really good camera, the price is amazing and the connectivity is spot on. Absolutely worth every penny and wholeheartedly recommend this product. Review: Great camera! Buy this instead of the Blink Cam!!! - Purchased this pan/tilt camera after returning a similar ring pan/tilt camera. Camera is easy to use, images are clear and the pet/bark detection is especially useful as our primary use was to monitor our new dog. Operates as you would expect - excellently in normal lights low light functions admirably however it’s worth noting that there is no ir illumination. Human and pet detection - this was stated as in beta when we purchased however seems to work excellently, we have human detection off and pet detection on and get no false positives. Bark detection works like a treat. iPhone/Android app work well there is a little bit of lag on the pan / tilt over cellular but from WiFi it’s almost instant (couldn’t say that with the blink camera!!). No optical zoom but for the price who’s complaining!!!
