TP-Link Tapo C200 Pan & Tilt Wifi Camera setup and test

[@synthwave7]

Thanks Ian. Decided to purchase one after watching your review.

[@julianj4026]

Hi, thanks for the video, I bought one of these cameras recently and it worked a treat for a few hours. After this the app now says network unstable and unable to use remotely? My network is good everything else seems alright and I’m still having issues? Tried all the obvious stuff like the hard reset etc

[@marklittler784]

Seems good camera only had a day up and running is easy setup once you've noticed your supposed to tick two faint blue circles to confirm agreeing to terms and conditions to CONTINUE

[@ottofumbler7267]

Thanks for the review. Next time, can you do a bit on the playback UI please? While that's more of a review of the app, it's important to know how easy and accurate it is to use. I own a couple of different IP cams, and each app I use has good/bad points when using the playback features. Would be nice to see this aspect fully covered in a review of this security cam.

[@mazagngygeophysics]

Thanks for your review. If i connect it to wifi, i can monitor it later via 4g internet as well?!

[@lapizbluee]

very good video mate. can y ou pinch the screen on phone and zoom in?

[@IanDixonTDL]

yes you can

[@marklittler784]

I just worked that one out accidentally by myself 😅🤸😆🤸😆

[@vvkabir]

Is it posible to access from computer/windows PC ?

[@flyingpedal]

That's the problem with this kind of camera when you go out with your camera it stops working. If it works on PC, that would mean you can still operate the camera.

[@miroslavbalaz7167]

Thank for the review. What happens if the internet connection is lost or if electricity is down for a moment? Will it reconnect automatically, or is it necessary to set up the connection again?

[@tianweitan1630]

I have the same question

[@miroslavbalaz7167]

@@tianweitan1630 I did not receive any answer yet, but I tested it myself. The camera will connect automatically after loss of internet connection or power supply. Even after several weeks, it works really well

My question is whether you can connect it to puplic/username/password wifi - I am in university halls and we have a username and password for each room, ended up buying an imou camera to find out tht tyou cannot connect it to anything that requires a username. Any idea whether this one allows you to connect?

[@liamb2163]

Yo dude nice review. I just purchased this can I ask, does it pan a full 360 as mine seems to go so far then stop it's more like 180 each way

[@TheGrkBoy]

works great ... very bright light

[@GRBtutorials]

Could you please do a teardown?

[@inastewfik8489]

I am looking for a camera to monitor my apartment door so i will place it on the ceiling or on the wall. The problem is i will need a long electricity cord (at least 5 meters long) to reach the nearest plug. How long is the cord that comes in the box? Is a longer cord available to buy separately?

[@k.p.svenkatarao7320]

Hi , Recently I have purchased C200. I have activated cams with wifi , after I left my home I can't see cam in the application . Once I reach home and connect to wifi I am able to view cam once again. Is there settings I am missing or do I need to connect to internet provided to change ip address.

[@iltown]

Can I use more than one camera. So if I bought 2 can I use the app and see two different rooms etc. Can I view what’s going on my phone if I don’t have WiFi only just using 4G for example?

[@786tahirmiah]

how did u get the camera on the same wifi network please show....

[@afshanashraf1537]

Just bought one looks good

[@villasoka884]

is it possible for you to cut the power and advise me if the camera re-connects? I want to find out if they would be useful when on holiday Thanks J

[@maryash2670]

Thanks for the demo. I have two questions, can I add multiples cameras to it, position into different rooms. The second question is if I place it by the window inside the house, will the camera pick up the motion outside in front of that window? Thank you

[@marklittler784]

Can add 32 cameras when viewing camera one just slide screen to next camera viewing

[@marklittler784]

Camera probably works on PIR body heat movement which it wouldn't detect behind glass, microwave alarms can detect movement nearby unfortunately including rain drops lol Some cameras work by detecting large pixel movements on screen image usually a CCTV complete systems

[@etpaguia]

Is it good as baby monitor? Can you listen in? Remote view even you are outside the house?

[@Anastacia174]

Yes you can remote and hear from the built-in microphone

Hi. Will the camera turn backwards if you activate the privacy mode? Thanks!

[@Itsme-vo4fx]

No. It just stops monitoring.

[@khushi334]

This doesnot work without plugging in? Is it required to be plugged in all the time?

[@topherut]

Bit of good news. UK Consumer magazine Which tested this and found it good value. They also found a security issue which TP-Link then fixed.

[@Allan-et5ig]

IAN DIXON thanks for the excellent video the camera is superb. How do I get the footage off the SD card to my computer do I have to remove the SD card and put it in the computer or can it be done remotely?

[@Off-roader-]

You can only get it on your phone there is no app for a computer

[@Knightfire66]

is it possible for the cam to upload the video for instance once a day to your computer over a cloud over wifi?

[@rs72098]

Very difficult to setup, doesn't work with 5ghz wifi. Kasa needs a better setup option.

[@icandodgebullets7869]

Mines keeps having problems with sd card where I have to switch the camera off and turn it on again to then format the card. Any idea what the issue is? Its the 2nd micro sd card I have purchased from a Samsung store as I thought the first one I had could have been fake as it was from Ebay. It usually happens after a week or so of use.

[@jennygreen9305]

Is states that its wireless. Is it a case of just unplugging the lead ?

[@rovd4433]
