TP-Link Tapo C200C 2MP Wi-Fi IP Camera

TP-Link Tapo C200C 2MP Wi-Fi IP Camera is usually bought for one reason: knowing what is happening at home when you are not there. A child, elderly parents, house help, a pet — you open the app and look. Video is 1080p (1920 × 1080), which is enough resolution to recognise faces and see what someone is actually doing rather than guessing at a blur.

The weakness of a plain fixed camera is that it stares at one wall and misses everything else in the room. This is a pan tilt Wi-Fi camera: motors give 360° pan coverage and 110.8° tilt coverage, so you can sweep the whole room from the app. One Tapo C200C Camera does the job that would otherwise need two or three fixed units.

At night an 850 nm IR LED lights the scene up to 40 ft / 12 m. The lens is F2.0 with a 4.0 mm focal length and a 93° diagonal field of view, behind a 1/2.8" progressive scan CMOS sensor with WDR. Motion detection and person detection push a notification to your phone the moment something moves, and the built-in microphone and speaker give you two-way audio with noise cancellation — enough to talk to a family member or warn someone off.

Storage is the part people usually overlook. TP-Link Tapo C200C takes a microSD card of up to 512 GB in the camera itself, so recordings stay on site with no monthly fee attached. It connects over 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi (IEEE 802.11b/g/n), runs from a 9V DC adapter and works with Google Assistant and Amazon Alexa. There is also 9x digital zoom when you need a closer look at something in the frame.

Warranty Information

1 Year Official Warranty

Important Usage Instructions

• This is an indoor camera — do not mount it outdoors or anywhere rain can reach it.
• Connect it to the 2.4 GHz band of your router; it does not join a 5 GHz network.
• Do not point it through a window at night — IR light reflects off the glass and washes the image out.
• Format the microSD card from inside the app before you rely on it for recording.
• Wipe the lens gently with a dry cloth; dust on the lens ruins night footage first.
