TapoC120 2K 4MP Indoor Outdoor Camera House Security Camera, Dual Spotlights WiFi Camera, No Monthly Fee, AI Detection, Pet / Baby Camera, IP66, CCTV, Color Night Vision, Cross-Line Detection

I have a studio at the bottom of my garden it's a long way from the house. I have things in it I would hate to loose although the garden is secure I wanted a little extra reassurance and this so far fits the bill. The unit looks the part and would not look out of place in a modern house. The power lead is a suitable length and I found I needed no extention. I would have preferred it if the power lead was the same colour as the unit .black lead white unit ?. I wont go into detail about set up there are enough videos on you tube to get you out of difficulty. Setting up was easy enough ,I like the fact you can pan and tilt the camera to cover the room. I like the talk over ability it would deter anyone being told your uploading their images to social media. Not so sure about the alert thing. I had two alerts and nothing there. I know what your thinking mice, but I dont think so. I'm a bit of a cover every angle sort of person and have a movement alarm in the studio. I know it's working as when I panned the room the movement set it off. So it meant a swift move to my studio to turn it off before annoying my neighbor's. I will check the settings to see if it can be turned down. I have had this sort of camera before and I can honestly say this seems better than those that have gone before it. Main points great clear picture , having the ability to move the camera remotely makes the unit stand out among others you can get. Being able to talk to dog,baby,burgulars is also handy. The night vision is really good virtually as good as daylight. Easy to set up and the app works well. The only two grumbles I have and they are not game changers, I would have liked the power lead to be the same colour as the unit. Not an issue for my studio but if I was using it in the house I would buy a matching lead. The other is alerts two alerts nothing there that could become annoying and could cause you not to check alerts,(remember the story of the boy who cried wolf). To end on a good note this unit is incredible for its low price tag . It does so much more than others out there costing a lot more. It seems I was premature with my review . I just wish I would sometimes listen to my own advice . If a product and price looks to good to be true it usually is, now yet again been suckered into buying a mugs eyeful. Like an idiot I believed what the ad said works with up to a 128 ad card. It doesnt I purchased a high speed card specifically for this camera that is now as redundant as the so called security camera. Call me strange but if someone breaks in and you cannot record them no evidence . I thought that is the purpose of any security camera. Without a recording you have nothing to tell bill about other than you have been burgled you can do that without spending 24 of your English pounds . I'm going to have to contact amazon as I have no idea how to send this as long as your looking at it security camera back.as I'm on shielding. And before anyone jumps in and says do this do that. I have done the fixes same result the camera has a problem with the ad card. I think its to cameras that have the problem. It's about as much use as a an allotment in Chernobyl. Yet again another amazon useless purchase. Having written a good review and then edit it to complain about not being able to record I have to eat humble pie and apologise to the seller. I asked the Amazon community if anyone has managed to format the ad card. And many got back to me and once it was explained the card was easily formatted for use in the camera. So my original ramblings stand . It's a very good camera with great features .

Using mine outside in the garden. Great coverage. Nice and compact. Quick response when been alerted .Great picture quality for what i require. Great that you can also add memory card rather then subscribe to the monthly subscription. Easy to install and connect to the app. App is easy to use. Very reasonably priced.

This is the third camera which I’ve purchased of the same to replace the ones I already had and there great. Picture quality amazing. Easy to install and easy app. I have them facing out of the front, side and back windows covering the whole area off my gardens and paths. A very economical security system which also gave me a reduction on the house insurance.

Edit: Still a great camera, but taking off a star because it consistently recognises cats as humans for some reason. I think tapo need to do some work on their AI algorithms.This is such a brilliant little camera. Incredible value for money.I use it outdoors and it's performed flawlessly so far. Accurate detections, super fast notifications, put an sd card in and you'll have everything you need in a budget security camera.Mounting it was so simple with the excellent magnetic base. The app is easy & intuitive to use.So far I can't think of a single negative aspect. Maybe if I'm being very picky I'd like a slightly wider field of view, but I believe the slightly more expensive C125 version offers that (although that camera is indoor use only).If you need an indoor/outdoor camera that is reliable and effective, just buy this. You won't regret it. Brilliant.

I brought this to replace a neos smart cam after they ceased working in the UK last year.The sensitivity of the motion and person detection is great, as is the picture quality both day and night.The magnetic attachment is the same as the neos cam.The way the neck of the camera pivots and twists makes it really easy to direct the camera exactly where you want it.You can choose to save the video files into the cloud (with a paid account) or to an sd card in the device itself (not supplied).The app works very well for live feed or playback of the files.I would definitely recommend this. It does a great job.
