2K+ Indoor/Outdoor Wired Security Camera, Baby Monitoring, C120

I've had these cameras for almost a year now and couldn't be happier with them. They're a great value and I honestly wasn't expecting much at this price point but they've exceeded my expectations. I have 3 of them set up throughout the house and they've never lost connectivity and have good crisp, detailed video both day and night. The range for the motion detection is very good too and the only false alarms I've had are from when the sun shines in through the blinds and bounces off the wall and the camera picks it up. This is not a bad thing as it's picking up the motion and I think any camera would do this.We've since moved into another house and resetting these were simple and they were up and running in no time. The only thing that would be nice is if you could turn all the cameras on/off (along with the notifications) in one step. Instead you have to go into each camera and set them on/off which isn't a huge deal but it would be nice to be able to be able to do it in one step. If you can I haven't figured out how yet. lol All in all I highly recommend these cameras and will be buying a couple more soon.

I am NOT new (12 YEARS and TWO other brands) to the home camera arena for sure. I came to notice how many models of the Tapo’s there were. I then dove in and figured what was best for me. One of my criteria was that it didn’t force cloud storage and subscription service on you, an SD card would be all you need. It also had to have Motion and Sound detection, and higher resolution than what I was used to was an extra treat. I decided upon the indoor/outdoor Tapo C120’s knowing they would be for indoor use as all my others in the past were. This gives me an option to move any outdoors if I ever had a need. I use a couple of them, instead of being outdoors, on windowsills or on door glass pointing outside. So that you know, if you plan to use in this way, you can not have night vision on. You would get a glass reflection of the night vision sensors. This way has worked fine for me for every model in my past 12 year line-up, as long as there is a porch light, street light, entry door light, some kind of light you are fine. There were several incredible, unexpected surprises after I installed 4 of these. The image quality is amazing, super sharp and clear. The App is super fast and responsive compared to my old... You can easily and instantly swipe between cameras, or just as swiftly look at recorded events (alarms). You can even put the camera’s in grouped batches of 4-up on a screen together. The flexibility in mounting options make it super easy to put wherever you would like. I am amazed at the difference and how far the technology has come in such a short time. Oh and did I say the price is a fraction of all the other I purchased in the past ? I can buy four Tapo C120’s for the price of ONE of either of my old brands. Right now I am running all 4 Tapo’s remotely in another home and plan to purchase more for primary home and do away with my older inferior brand. My situation was kind of unique and I had some questions, so I reached out to Technical Support. I have to give a shout out to Cliff as my main Technical Support contact. The team went over and above any expectations I ever could imagine from a support standpoint. I have passed my knowledge onto friends and family about these, as you can’t beat these cameras all in all. The price point, the quality, no nagging monthly bills, you can’t go wrong ! Tiny investment with a huge bang for your buck. I am not writing this review for promotional purposes or any of the such…. I am writing it because when I come across a stand-out product and customer service together, I want to tell my story for others.

Excellent Product With Excellent Support: the cameras are easy to install and the Tapo app essentially sets them up quickly. and easily. The app works well and the video feedback is great allowing you to save it and forward it to others. The tech support quickly responds to inquiries and when I had to reset one camera, Hayden at tech was not only fast to respond but had the perfect answer to quickly solve my issue. Highly recommend.

Love this little camera! It works great, clear picture. We bought this when we were going to be gone overnight to check in on our teen daughter. I like that we can talk to her over it. I love that we only needed an SD card and do not need a subscription! 🙌

Having used other Wi-Fi cameras including Google Nest cams (and much more expensive pro & semi-pro security hardware), as well as having a career in electronic & broadcast engineering, I think I’m uniquely qualified to give this a fair unbiased review! First off it’s phenomenal for the money. Better resolution and more features than previous generation Nest cameras for a fraction of the price. While the hardware is seemingly not as durable as some competitors, at this price they’re more or less disposable! There was one surprise for me that everyone should be aware of (that if I had done a little research, I probably would have figured out before purchasing on a whim during Amazon prime days)! Unlike other services I have used, when you use the TAPO app (which I paid for a years worth upfront for 4 cams) just be aware it only streams live, and then records segments to the cloud when there is motion detected. If you want to record continuously, every cam has to have an SD card installed. The app then uses the memory locally on the SD card to playback segments (but of course is limited by the memory of the card). Then like other systems (and dash cams), it just starts rewriting over older video/audio. The app is very intuitive and functional although I would like to be able to monitor all cameras at once (which may be possible as I’ve only played with it a couple of days). Installation was a breeze and simple. Very intuitive for non-tech people. Overall, I’m extremely pleased with the performance &bfeatures. Time will tell about durability and I’m sure their app will probably get some upgrades over time. A very competitive product. I would’ve given it five stars if for the $119 for a year of 4 camera service, it would record continuously into the cloud. That way, if you have a break-in the cameras are destroyed, the full recording is remotely saved.

I had 4 Yi cameras (2 indoor and 2 outdoor) which I replaced with TAPO cameras. The Yi cameras were hit or miss, and the Yi app was horrible, constantly hitting you up to subscribe to their cloud service and delaying connection to the cameras. The TAPO cameras work great, and the app is straightforward with no annoying adds. The cameras work great in recording to a mini SD card, and cloud service is not required to store videos or for smart detection. Cost wise, the prices are great compared to others. I have both the indoor and outdoor models.

I have previously owned other cameras, where I have it inside and point out my front window. However, this is the absolute best I have had so far! Other models require a subscription - this one doesn't! (You can purchase an SD card that will record everything - and it holds a lot, too!) It takes a little bit to navigate the app, but I have it set up to record everything on a loop, and then identify (over the course of the whole recording) when a person passes by the field. I bought a 250GB card, and so far it has recorded 3 weeks of video. I previously had a camera that would upload to my google drive, and that only recorded up to 1 week. This video is also higher quality, and much cleaner than the old camera. Others cannot identify anything across a window - this one does! Granted this is much newer and technology has gotten TONS better over time. It will "tag" every person in the field, and then provide markers in my recording indicating when a person crossed the field. This is far more data-rich than my other cameras (across a window). As far as "night vision" - I have found that if you set it on night vision, this will not work across a window. It will only reflect a light on the window and back to the camera. However, the low light sensitivity is excellent on this camera, as it will take the low level of light on the street and boost the video signal so that it can actually see ok at night on its own. Pretty good! It isn't as clean as my ring camera's IR night vision, but it is still good. And definitely worth the sacrifice of not having to pay for a subscription. The one thing I would appreciate for the camera are some accessories to help extend the stand (make it taller) and make it more stable, as I currently have it balanced right at my window. But it has been doing the job, pretty well, as is. Highly recommend!

Amazing little camera. Super easy and simple to set up, the included mounting hardware works well, and I really like that it has a magnetic base which makes removal for getting access to the micro SD card or cleaning a breeze. Video quality is excellent (provided you have a strong enough WiFi signal to the camera or it will drop frames). Having it set to record only during “events” the SD card does not have to be big. I have a 64 GB card in the three of these I own, and even the one that faces the street and records whenever it sees a car or a person still has a weeks worth of storage. The starlight or whatever it’s called where it does color in low light is amazing. Around dusk the camera still looks like it’s recording in full sunlight. The night vision is also very good, I can see all the way across the street to the neighbors houses very well, and my alley camera can see almost to the end of the alley My first complaint with these cameras is with the line crossing feature. I set them to notify only when a line crossing event is captured in the yard to see if someone comes onto the property, and there is no software functionality to filter out if it’s a person, a shadow, a piece of cotton, anything. Absolutely anything that crosses the line you draw on the screen will trigger a notification. I set up the line crossing so we didn’t have to filter out false alarms and such with people walking by, but we have trees in the front yard and their shadows swaying in the breeze sets off the line crossing notification constantly. The other detection types are very good, even the beta ones, but line crossing is very bare bones. All other detection modes have a sensitivity setting. Motion, for example, can be turned down so it stops picking up moving shadows or tree branches swaying in the breeze. The ability to adjust the sensitivity at minimum would be ideal, or to be able to set it so only when something it detects as a person crosses the line would turn this terrible feature into a powerful feature. Second complaint is the microphones. They are atrocious. Don’t bank on these capturing anything said unless the people talking are right under the camera. This also applies to the C110s as well that I have inside the house. Any sort of breeze is picked up as well. A calm day with the slightest of breezes will sound like the wind was cranking. Other than those two complaints, these are amazing security cameras. They work extremely well, accurately detect vehicles, people, pets, and motion, and they are inexpensive, and possibly most importantly require no subscription service to use. That was the most important part for me was not having to subscribe to anything. With SD cards in all my cameras, I have access to anything that happens around my house. The one drawback I’ve found to not using the cloud service they offer is you cannot download a recorded video to your phone if you are not on the same WiFi network. You can access them on the camera remotely but you can’t download to save forever until you get home.

Excelente camara la.imagem de noche es buenisima

This camera was very easy to set up with the Tapo app. It also works flawlessly with iSpy monitoring software making a subscription unnecessary. The IR is excellent and much better than other similar camera (Foscam C2, Wyze V3). The non-IR low-light vision is very good. I tested this in a completely dark garage with an ordinary night-light and I can see the whole area well, albeit at a lower resolution (grainy). Person-detection worked perfectly in all lighting scenarios.

High definition High resolution super sharp image video quality

Small but works like monster....must have it if you are worried to secure your home...

Best camera that as good as Ring camera with so many control features and no need for subscription id you install and use local memory
