Tapo TC70 Pan/Tilt Indoor Camera House Security Camera, Dog Camera, No Monthly Fee, AI Detection, WiFi Camera, Baby Camera Monitor, 1080p Full HD, 360° View, Night Vision, Works with Alexa & Google

I swear by TAPO products to keep an eye on my home and this does not disappoint.The camera itself provides good image quality and is easy to set up and use. You can rotate the camera via an app and is a cost effective home security solution you can view on the go.The camera doesn’t require batteries and remains working as long as plugged into mains supply and I have regularly used the speaking function to converse with my children from other parts of the house or whilst I am at work.

I started using the Tapo C225 camera as a baby monitor, and it’s proven to be an incredible choice, especially compared to traditional baby monitors. The night vision and video quality really stand out, making this a reliable and cost-effective option for any parent.Pros:1. Exceptional Night Vision: The camera’s night vision is crystal clear. It easily captures everything in my baby’s room, even in total darkness. I can clearly see my child’s movements without any grainy or blurry footage, which gives me peace of mind overnight.2. High-Quality Video: The camera delivers high-definition video, ensuring I can monitor every detail in the room during the day. The clarity far exceeds what most baby monitor devices offer, especially those in the same price range. The 4MP resolution provides sharp and vibrant images.3. Motion and Sound Detection: Beyond just video quality, the Tapo C225 has intelligent motion and sound detection that sends real-time alerts to my phone. If my baby stirs or makes noise, I get an instant notification, allowing me to respond quickly.4. Cheaper Than Traditional Baby Monitors: Baby monitors with similar features (video, sound alerts, and night vision) tend to be significantly more expensive, and often lack the video quality of the Tapo C225. Instead of spending money on a standalone monitor, I’ve found this camera offers everything I need at a fraction of the cost.5. Mobile App Convenience: Instead of relying on a clunky handheld monitor, the Tapo app on my phone allows me to check the camera feed from anywhere. It’s much more convenient to have everything integrated into my phone, especially since I always have it with me.Cons:1. Wi-Fi Dependent: As with most smart devices, the camera relies on a stable Wi-Fi connection. If the connection drops or weakens, there can be interruptions in the feed. However, I haven’t encountered significant issues with this in my experience.In summary, the Tapo C225 is a high-quality, feature-packed camera that works wonderfully as a baby monitor. Its superior night vision and HD video quality easily rival (or even surpass) expensive traditional baby monitors, all while being much more affordable. If you’re looking for a reliable and economical solution, this camera is a perfect fit for new parents. The number 1 reason that I chose this over other alternatives, is the close up night vision uses invisible infrared, meaning their are no red lights coming from this camera, completely dark.

Good quality, when connection is strong; Annoyingly, it seems that any clips saved or downloaded have the TAPO watermark, despite paying for the premium but that might be industry standard, I'm not entirely familiar. On that note however, the premium is affordable although I didn't see this caveat advertised anywhere which was a bit misleading, I rather this be up-front, but it is only about £4 a month for 30-Days Cloud Storage, Automatic Clipping, etc.I use mine as a nanny cam for my kitten, the mic quality isn't great and it startles him when I try to speak to him through as it's a bit loud (so test it before you use it when your pets alone) it so I would be wary if you are buying this for your cat or dog that is home alone and maybe suffers seperation anxiety.The app is quite good, fairly user friendly and quick to get the hang of.I would prefer if the view angle was capable of looking down just a tad more since you know, small cat, and cameras typically go up high, but it's livable.It looks alright, feels a bit flimsy plastic wise but I'm just a tech nerd so to most, it's probably fine! It can be a bit reluctant to turn and has low sensitivity for adjusting the angle but again, completely livable and to be expected considering the price!Would recommend for anyone needing pet cameras or bulk security cams!

To-Link/ TAPO are imo the best Quality cameras you can buy. I have 3 C-225’s & im buying 2 more.They are extremely cheap €50/pound most of the time. You get 30 frames a second, With 720p & 2K picture quality, Well beyond 1080p HD, it’s true HDNot a gimmick word for you to buy it the quality is that amazing. You can read a number plate on a moving car, you can turn the mic up the sensitivity of the pet car person detection ,It Also will hear crying glass breaking barking etc & let you know , you can turn all these off.I have mine all indoors & some pointing out windows, the NV is really good you can set it to far or near it has no red light but will blur on a window the night vision, if there is light outside a street light you won’t need the night vision I leave mine on day at 2K 30Frames per second recordingYou will need a Class 10 Micro SD card , Imo go a sandisc extreme pro , As think about it your recording 2K & 30Fps & Sound none stop onto the card & it will loop when it’s full . A 128Gb with these settings will record for a week or more,But if you record in less I.e 25 or 20Fps you will get weeks & way longer at 720p & it is true HD even at 720p not like others I’ve hadThe only Con I have is I wish the lead was longer . It’s 1.5 meters so 99% of the time more than enoughI set it up in 10-15 mins so easy to set up , And a day or 2 of playing with the App it’s so user friendly & the staff are amazing they get back to you in hours & check in days later to make sure your ok & ask do you need more helpThere Customers Service Is that good I’m buying only TAPO smart items, the quality of Tapo at the price with the features is a no brainer. I love this company & there quality customer support who truly care & make sure everything is sorted.It has never dropped connection I’ve a few going & getting more. I 100% recommend & I’ve had a few doorbells & apps but there clunky. Tapo is amazing a game changer in my opinion so if your thinking of getting one get it you will be happy.
