[@damnhockey]

wow... thank-you, for creating such an excellent detailed hands-on review. I have been searching and no one has made one like yours. This camera looks amazing. Thanks

[@faisalali9290]

The Tapo C200 is very good camera by TP-Link

[@firdaussulaiman4279]

How about recording video at night?? Can we get clear image?

How mny mobile can connect on 1 tapo, only one Mobile or more?

[@taxibandzenica6453]

If I am outside and I want to Connect to my Tapo (tapo is at home). How do I connect Tapo ? With my Wifi Mobile Data outside Wifi?

[@arnolddejesus8404]

Hi Sir, I just got my tapo c200. I want to ask you. How can you monitor the camera at home while you are outside the house? Both have wifi (my phone and camera). I can not connect my phone to tapo camera located in the house because its wifi is not in range. So, even though I have wifi to log in my tapo application but still I have to connect to tapo camera's wifi which is not in range because I am far home. Please help me. Thank you

[@ruffnutts]

Just bought one today, however no one as showed what's like to connect to from outside the house from another location, great video btw :)

I have been using this camera for 1 year. I think tapo C200 best camera for cctv

[@staniley884]

The camera make just a snap picture when the notification come or record the video ?? Its save on memory card or on cloud???

[@racheldoyle43]

How do i tell if someone is looking through the camera from the app? will there be light/sound indicators from the camera?

[@SlapRoundTheChops]

Do I have to pay a monthly subscription for cloud storage or will it save clips and let me download them to phone? I don’t want an SD card either. Thanks

Can the alarm be turned OFF remotely via cellphone - if you are not at home ?

I brought one and done the set up but I have to keep the power one otherwise it loses power and WiFi...can you help please

[@ErickOsit]

Can we schedule the mark feature? Ex. Every 30sec it will go to the mark that you've configure.

Can I still use and access the camera if it is connected via over the internet via wifi, while I am away on vacation, through my phone while I am connected data/wifi?

[@HustleUp_]

Can you view it from you nest hub or nest hub max?

[@markellis7819]

What an absolute shame that you fail to go through the Detection and Alerts section. People are buying these as security cameras, and you're showing how quickly it can pan left and right

[@aumarigan]

Detection is ok, tho there are inaccuracies from time to time. The problem is with the notifications from the camera to your smartphone. If the network is poor, you might end up not getting any alert notifications on your phone. This camera is better for single story homes. Make sure you have wifi extenders so that your camera setup in the 2nd floor or behind a wall can easily communicate with your phone.

[@charliejoearmillo2528]

can the videos be saved in googledrive instead and not use sdcard? Great review btw

[@SketchyOnReviews]

no option for that i see, but that would be a great feature to have! thank you :)

[@arnelgavino3322]

i have a question this camera is continous recording?

[@SketchyOnReviews]

yes possible, can set blue for continous 24hrs in 1 week , orange for only records detection of movement

[@sahilagrawal5919]

Every time its switch off due to power cut it rotates back side when it switch on. Is there any solution to stop rotation

[@humanshieldz]

Wanna ask about the privacy mode. Does the camera tilt down all the way so it won't record anything or it's just the software cutting recording off. Cos i still feel more secure having the camera not pointing at all :D

[@ottofumbler7267]

You are correct. It's a software trigger. If you add a smart socket however, you could cut the power completely for absolute security. Of course, you need to be confident your smart socket doesn't have security vulnerabilities too, otherwise a hacker could simply turn it back on (in theory).

[@humanshieldz]

@@ottofumbler7267 That's a good idea! Now i have more things to buy hahaha. I got it accidentally for a good deal at 21 USD and impulse buy a C100 at 7 USD then won another C200 on a giveaway 2 days later 😂

[@chloeavhular]

Can the camera still record and notify the phone when someone is detected and not connected to wifi?

[@carbon7000]

No, it needs an Internet connection to notify

[@TAnastasiadis]

There is no alarm to my smartphone when it cautch an activity... What can i do?

[@smurf8526]

The camera forces you to create account and login through the company servers, which are in China. This seems to be the case with all TP-Link products recently

[@unotom2704]

is it possible to watch the recorded video in my laptop using the sd card?

[@ottofumbler7267]

Good question. I don't know the answer, but you probably could with a little know-how. It records in H.264 format, which is a pretty common format. A quick search on Google suggests VLC player would work. However, I couldn't say how the files are saved to the SD card, so you might struggle to find the specific file to playback. I can imagine however if you have the camera set to record motion detection only, there will be far less files to chose from. Also, the files may be encrypted, so that might be a problem trying to playback on a laptop/PC.

[@wasil3k]

Can i use if im not at home ?

[@jaesolana1678]

Does this automatically tilt? Like if it detects motion, does it automatically track? Or you really have to control it?

[@SketchyOnReviews]

No, they dont...they dont offer any tracking capabilities. They only detect motion and alert you from there. Yes you need to control it manually

[@PL-fc6hm]

what is subscription fee to use the app?

[@joyace9674]

I just ordered it can’t wait to use it question? Do you have to pay the app to record on it I heard is a 30 day free trial then they start charging you to record oN it Using the memory card or if you want just use it to get the alert to show someone is in your home I went to best buy and that’s what they told me

[@paulorourke3690]

Yes

[@icandodgebullets7869]

It's a great camera for the price point. My only gripe is not having full access to features such as talk and tilt, it being limited to one user.

[@jaysonibanez1088]

How long is the cable of TPLink?

[@geralddc]

Can that video feed be watched on a PC/IP address on the browser? Can it be controlled by a PC App?

[@yesyup3453]

I'm looking for this as well and so far I've found that you can view it on a pc with 3rd party software called "ispy". I get my camera tomorrow to test it out. I also found out that this camera can be connected to a NVR. Not sure yet if it can be viewed remotely through a browser. I hope this at least pointed you in the right direction.

[@FaisalR]

Does it onvif compliant ?

[@rafalbroncel5792]

Can this work as IP camera with other software?

[@sydneyadie]

[@chiqui1234ok]

What if I connect my smartphone to another WiFi? The app can send me the video or I need to be connected to the same WiFi as this camera?

[@SketchyOnReviews]

no need to worry bro, im getting feed and webcam data thru my cellular data after sync. hence you can get it anywhere as long you connect your account to the tapo app. initially pairing up do need to be on the same wifi first.

[@Chan_72]

Can I use this cam also as an outdoor camera for my yard?

[@ottofumbler7267]

You'll probably need something else for that. The important thing is to look for the IP rating of a product. The IP rating determines how weatherproof something is. I would recommend IP65 as a minimum for outdoor use. This camera is most likely for indoor use only, and probably only has a rating of IP20. Also, the manufacturer has stated it will only operate down to temperatures of zero degrees celsius (32F), so if you live somewhere it gets cold, it's not a good idea to use this outside, even under cover.

[@Chan_72]

@@ottofumbler7267 Oh ok I see. Fortunaly there is a new camera, released by TP-Link. It's the TP-Link Tapo C310. This cam is suited for outdoor usage.

[@ottofumbler7267]

@@Chan_72 One tip if you are fitting an outdoor camera is to cover any visible screws in grease. I don't know why, but manufacturers seem to use cheap fixings on these products, and they rust quite quickly if you don't protect them. I use lithium grease, as it's sticky and works in both hot and cold climates.

[@ottofumbler7267]

@@miroirfbm6288 Sorry, but it's not actually my review. I've got a couple of these on order, but I can't do any testing for you I'm afraid. I also own a different PTZ outdoor camera. It has an AP hotspot built-in meaning I can connect to it from my smartphone. The only downside is that it only has a few features in AP mode. Can't even change the timezone, so it thinks it's still in China. You should be able to use an ONVIF app to connect to it, but it's just a theory based on the technical help pages.
