Tapo 2K Indoor Security Camera for Baby Monitor, Dog Camera w/Motion Detection, 2-Way Audio Siren, Night Vision, Cloud & SD Card Storage(Up to 512GB), Works w/Alexa & Google Assistant C110

I’ll be writing this on all the Tapo cameras I’ve recently purchased. (4x C110, 2x C210, 2x C520WS) These are flawless, amazing, and so far ahead of Wyze it’s not even funny. They are massively affordable, truly need no subscription, have fantastic features in their app, can record locally to an SD card; everything you would want. Coming from Wyze (see more below), I didn’t know that cameras were supposed to act like this. I assumed, at Wyze prices, that I was getting what I paid for. But when I finally had enough constant stress and spent the money to change to Tapo… my life has been changed. Seriously, I probably added years to my life not being so stressed out all the time because my cameras never, ever worked right. These do, and I cannot say it enough times… if you’re currently using Wyze then get one of these. Use it for a week side-by-side and tell me what you think. Super light, have a few of mine mounted with ‘hard plastic velcro’ (3M Dual Lock). Setup is fast and easy, and works right away. Don’t have to do it over and over again (Wyze). Clarity is superb - 1440p quality. Night vision is phenomenal. Don’t really care about ‘color’ night vision - but my outdoor ones do have it. And one of the best parts is Tapo is part of TP-Link. What does that mean? TP-Link has been around for a very long time, and they specialize in networking equipment, LoL. So yeah, if you want a reliable camera on your network, who better to trust than a networking company. TLDR: Don’t waste your time on any other brand. Buy these. I promise you won’t regret it. About Wyze: If you’re like me and never wanted to spend thousands on home monitoring and security, then you may have stumbled upon Wyze cameras. At first, they were amazing - very affordable with no subscription necessary. And they worked. Over time, that changed drastically as they ventured into making everything else on the planet instead of focusing on their roots (cameras). They funded that stuff by changing to a subscription policy. And in their haste had multiple security breaches and problems such as other people viewing cameras that aren’t theirs. This is of course while the software and hardware has become so incredibly bad that they’re unusable. I mean, they actually do not function 92% of the time. Whether it’s freezing, not connecting, stuttering so bad that it looks like a PowerPoint presentation, app for closing, etc.

As someone who has delved into the world of home security cameras, purchasing and testing models from Meross, Ubiquiti, Nest, Ring, and others, I've encountered my fair share of unique challenges with each brand. I've even invested over $200 on some Ubiquiti cameras, all in the pursuit of finding the perfect balance of functionality, ease of use, and affordability. However, it wasn't until I came across the TP-Link Tapo 2K Indoor Camera that I felt I had found a device that stood out in the crowded market, especially for a very specific need: ensuring the safety and monitoring of my in-laws who have recently moved into an assisted living community. The aspect of this camera that immediately caught my attention was its affordability combined with its robust feature set, something I had begun to think was impossible to find. Unlike other systems that nickel and dime you for every additional feature, the TP-Link Tapo offers a comprehensive package without the need for a subscription service. This was particularly appealing as it enabled me to keep an eye on my in-laws' well-being without incurring ongoing costs. Installation and setup were astonishingly straightforward. I opted for a 256GB SD card, which was more than adequate for our needs and was incredibly easy to install and configure. This ease of setup is not something I can say for all the cameras I've tested in the past, where sometimes the setup process seemed almost deliberately complicated. The video quality is another point where the Tapo 2K Indoor Camera shines. It delivers crisp, clear images that make it easy to see what's happening, even from a distance. But perhaps the feature that sets it apart the most is the ability to playback footage remotely. This has given me peace of mind, knowing that I can easily check in on my in-laws at any time, from anywhere. Price-wise, the Tapo 2K is unbeatable. Considering the high costs of some competitors' cameras that still require additional outlays for full functionality, the value proposition of the Tapo 2K is clear. It's an affordable, effective solution for anyone looking to secure their home or, in my case, keep a watchful eye on loved ones in a care setting. In conclusion, the TP-Link Tapo 2K Indoor Camera has proven to be a little gem in a market saturated with overpriced and overcomplicated alternatives. Its combination of ease of use, excellent video quality, remote playback capability, and affordability make it a standout option. It's a purchase I've been thoroughly pleased with and would recommend to anyone in a similar situation or anyone looking for a reliable home security camera without unnecessary frills or expenses.

I absolutely love these cameras! Very easy to set up and have a wide view angle to capture more of an area. I also love how it has a crying baby feature letting me know if my child is crying while I’m in another room. It shows a live view and also any videos it has recorded. Best camera for the price. I use it for security in my home as well as to check in on kids and pets.

I’ve been using the TP-Link Tapo C110 camera for a few years now and overall, I’m pretty happy with it. Pros: I love that you can record continuously with a microSD card (up to 256 GB) – super convenient if you want to review footage later. Video quality during the day is excellent, crisp and clear. It’s perfect for keeping an eye on pets or babies, and for the price, it’s definitely a solid option. Cons: Night vision isn’t the best – the image gets a bit grainy in low light. It doesn’t work as well in larger rooms; the field of view is more suited for small to medium spaces. Also, the communication through the app (two-way audio) can be spotty or delayed at times. Still, for the price and what it offers, it's a very useful indoor camera.

Great product overall — FIVE THINGS I LIKE 1) good picture quality (day and night visibility, picture inversion capability for upside-down installation); 2) loud alarm; 3) good audio; 4) cool detection features (motion detection and person detection); 5) WiFi signal strength seems fine. You have to sort of experiment with the app technology for a bit to find the surveillance settings you prefer, but no big deal if you are patient. THREE COMPLAINTS: 1) The mic seems low when camera is installed outside, even on full volume. So if the camera’s not pretty close to visitors that you try to talk to through the device, they may not be able to hear you when you use it. 2) Finding the best spot for installation was a bit of a task, but to be expected. Just be ready to use a power drill or hammer and nails. 3) If I had to choose a complaint, it would be cord management. I had to purchase a 25-ft USB-A to USB-c cord for each camera (despite the incorrect product details that describe a DC power input 😒) and those cords didn’t have the same weather proofing as the 6-ft cords that come with the camera. But I just duct-taped the USB-c side of the cord to the camera thoroughly so that water won’t seep into the power input. It may also be productive to just use the 6-ft cords that come with the device and purchase a USB-A or USB-c extension cable… Five stars nonetheless! I will buy more of these cameras when I feel the need for more indoor or outdoor.

This is my second purchase of Tapo Cameras and I am happy. I have 5 c120's and would recommend them over these for features added to them, but these are fine for indoor situations. All are 2K and photo wise they are great! They do NOT have a light in them, but the night vision is still as good as the c120. Overall a great camera for the money!

I bought this camera to check on my hamster at night while I sleep. I got an SD card to record him and now I get a peaceful night sleep knowing when I wake up I can see his activity through the night. It is great at detecting small movements which is perfect for a small pet. Easy to set up and reset up if moved. Best purchase!

Use this as a baby monitor when grandchildren are staying. It works great. I can monitor from my phone using the app or on my echo show. Even in the dark picture quality is pretty good. Has good sound and it’s super easy to use. I can be anywhere on our 2 acres and still be able to monitor kids when they’re sleeping. Highly recommend.
