[@user-gy4xp2tu6f]

may i ask, does it need to be plugged always to be used? or does it have built in battery

[@cyndicaserta7096]

*I like the pan and tilt feature. great **Newest.Technology** camera!*

[@AlexiaVon]

pan and tilt has been out for the past two decades on cameras. Far from new.

[@137dylan]

This is a great review! You should be applauded. Believe me. I watch a LOT of YT including reviews; you'd be amazed how many people don't even cover the obvious things, whereas you answered almost every question I had going into this video. To get this camera for only £27 and all those features is incredible. Thanks!

[@sleevelessace]

Very good review, told me everything i needed to know ordered mine yesterday and it arrives tomorrow i wanted to see all the features before i receive it! thank you

[@sunnymondays6106]

Thanks for a great review. All the info I needed to make a choice.

[@TheEthanLester]

This video was really helpful, thank you.

[@Berghiker]

That was an awesome review. Thanks. I am buying one soon.

[@Juli-tk8hb]

Thank you very much, you made a usefull video describing exactly what I've looking for 😘

[@BoxCoUk]

No problem 😊 Thanks for watching 👍

[@solaris051]

Thank you, that was very informative. Helped me to make a buying decision.

[@tonyhall1271]

Very good in depth review

[@dimitargadzhev3800]

Excellent review, thank you very much!

[@MrOldhoot]

Excellent in depth review. Maybe the only bit missing is the length of the power cable, always useful to know. From my experiences with other cameras being able to zone an area is extremely useful, glad to see it's available with this model.

[@BoxCoUk]

Thank you! I'll remember to mention this in future reviews 👍

[@natangurfinkel]

​@@BoxCoUkwhat's the length then? 😅

[@chinmayrewadkar3378]

Detailed review... thanks ma'am !

[@GoogleUser-eo5cq]

Very useful review thanks. Agree power cable length info would be useful to add. Question, an Issue I've often had with existing Tapo cameras is, compared with even other tp link brands such as Kasa, there are often times when the access to cameras is slow/ long wait time, either in trying to access the camera or the memory, through the app. It comes back with time but it's very annoying and inconvenient whilst trying to monitor. It's not all the time, but frequent enough to notice, and more frequent than our other camera systems, including Kasa. Assume that's still a problem with this camera from Tapo? Others also have this issue?

[@mu4784]

This was very thorough and helpful! Thank you for considering the many use cases

[@ruirizzi]

Excellent review. Thanks for this. I'm now sure that this is a good option.

[@robinjones5912]

[@Warick.Grubb.]

Thanks, very informative...

[@cmcc1844]

Fantastic explaining. Tapo c210 Automatic patrolling rotates only once and stops, what should be done to keep the patrolling automatic full day. Thanks

[@RafaelGonzaga00]

Olá, existe alguma forma de deixar aparecendo a imagem dela no meu computador direto? ai deixar um monitor especifico só pra isso conectado ao meu computador. existe algum aplicativo ou site que faça isso?

[@iloveplayingpr]

Very informative!

[@danielbrado5587]

Have the cam zoom funktion identisch to Modell c200

[@akkaiahjagarlamudi5629]

whats the length og the power adapter cable ?..thanks for the video

[@Jude19]

Any chance u can tell the about the power source cable? What size is the pin u plug in to the camera. As I need a extension wire to and from the power source

[@Vikingdescendent]

Great job! Thx .

[@kailee6823]

hi i just want to ask because I bought a tapo c210 and when im in talk or call and press the back button there is sounds like "TOK" do you think its normal?

[@Davidand-Goliath]

Can you connect to your Amazon fire tv or an Amazon fire or eco pad as a bigger screen than phone.

[@loicekapondo3746]

How do I connect two of these cameras I only have access to one of them at a time

[@anant0089]

Can fast forward recording at 16x like in xiomai mi camera 360 ?

[@tibuuur06]

which is better tapos or wyze? thanks

[@misottovoce]

Excellent review, thank you! I have the C200 for my elderly mother and am very happy with it, but now need one for my husband's bedroom. I wonder what the difference is between the C200 and the C210? I can't find a difference.

[@kraken6498]

My only gripe with this is with the "live view", it only let's you view for only 2-5mins then you need to reconnect again to monitor what is happening on the area you placed your camera.

[@saiagyeaarora4448]

Is there any solution to this?

[@bl3727]

can it be view live with Windows laptop

[@k.k9648]

ITs possible Flash custom Firmware?

[@nick066hu]

Can it notify me someway remotely (email would be fine, or a notification in the app) in case of a detected intruder?

[@encee5]

How is the recorded sound? Is it clear?

[@corina5811]

Ist die Kamara frostsicher? Also für draußen geeignet?

[@ambarbs]

The app features and UI look very similar to the Xiaomi Mi security camera.

[@kevincronin464]

could you pls advise if there is any camera like this l could use outside,.. installing it onto my low roof. l am using my sons account and am not tech-savvy,.. so would have to to get someone to install it. Thank you.

[@qwerty6789x]

i bought this seems it only records during motion or person detected

[@playmax96]

great review

[@BoxCoUk]

Thanks 😊

[@utilitymaximizer9026]

How can you download a clip to your phone?

[@koleen1486]

can i used this tapo cctv without tapo care subscription?

[@natureireland-IND]

Is camera need to connect power all the time to record? what if poercut

[@beepboopgpt1439]

Does it record in loop like it overwrights the old parts of its videos?

[@RS_Edm]

Does the Sanddisk card support loop recording in this camera?

[@vigneshwaran7904]

Tc70 or c210 which is best?

[@azeezshaik8220]

From How many mobiles we can see live feed?

[@greatbaracuda6164]

my tapo app freezes every 6pm everyday consistently. i have to swipe monitor to bring it back to live view. although it has alert sound when motion is detected. Could it be the window hours when some people trying to invade phones. COuld it be true of the rumor that chinese app creators put a spyware to sneak in your phone otherwise what could be the reason why it freezes

[@lakshmi2802]

Are the recordings accessible on laptop . It is recorded in H.264 or H265?

[@paritosh944]

Does it connect back to the wifi network once the power goes and comes ?

[@jenfrench921]

How many days can a 256 GB SD card record?

[@cmcc1844]

Thanks for clean experience. In Tapo C 210 Automatic cruse stoped after only 1 Rotation . What to fo for continuous.

[@marklittler784]

Probably wear motor quickly to constantly pan

[@indysingh6145]

Brilliant review. I have had my camero for 2 years now and didnt know about most of these features. Thank you. Very nicely done!

[@orion51089]

Do you need to be connected to the same WiFi that the camera or you can be outside and see what's happening at home in your phone

[@adityavarma2138]

Thank you, that was helpful to understand the product. doest it support object tracking?

[@marklittler784]

Movement detection only it seems

[@ArmandoGarcia-zf2ic]

hello, with a SD card of 256GB how many hour can I record in a 1080P??

[@imadfree]

Is there any subscription fees?

[@kiwicreation5931]

Great review! Does anyone know if this camera also records sound? (Will the video output recording include sound??) thanks

[@kartelclothingart4311]

Yes is recording the sound.I farted one day and i could listen my fart from work as it was recorded.

[@borky1987]

It's true, I heard it too

[@KaiValencia21]

Does it activate and record with motion? Can you save videos to your phone instead of sd card ? Because if someone gets into your business or home they can just take the camera and evidence....

[@ankumack]

how to turn off the 'tap to refresh' option in tapo camera when I'm live watching camera through tapo app? it's really irritating, please suggest.

[@joysr3380]

Madam 210cammara support power bank or no india

[@ckupcu]

Can you access single camera from multiple phones/users (for example, by all family members) ?

[@govegan794]

That's my concern too

[@lupang335]

Just got the camera last week and can confirm you can either share the link for shared access or provide your login info. Difference is the link will have limited access (I'm guessing general controls) while allowing other devices to use your login info will have multiple devices having access to the controls. Hope this helps.

[@Audit-The-Auditors]

I have never been able to find the footage recorded to the card.

[@siviplay2436]

all good but what happens if the thief steals the camera? the data of the person who stole it would be lost along with it, there is no way to have a dvr like hikvision in a security room so the data is safe

[@subrataduari]

Very detailed review. Thanks. Please can you confirm if i can view the live footage when i am away from home using my mobile data? Thanks again.

[@BoxCoUk]

Hi! Yes you should be able to review the footage away from home as long as your camera is connected to the WiFi where it's situated 😊

[@niharazeem]

Thanks for the detailed review, the issue is if by any reason the camera is disconnected from wifi you need to come back home to connect it again it won’t connect automatically back to the wifi ….. If I am Wrong please advise Thanks a bundle 😊

[@comments7335]

Hi..how many smartphones can be use to register in the app? Or can we give permission for other phones to view the camera? Thnks

[@user-zk9qw1dy7o]

Can it connect on 5g internet?

[@ktm640lc4BGD]

so if someone enters the room he can just take the camera with him and thats it? is it possible to store videos online, to some remote location?

[@BoxCoUk]

Hi, yes, technically someone could just take it. But essentially the motion detector alerts you when someone enters the room and you can see the feed live. If you're lucky to catch them in time you could record your own screen to get a quick remote back up. But no, sadly, there is no way to store footage remotely.

[@Google_Does_Evil_Now]

So it looks like we need to hide the camera or disguise it somehow maybe behind some flowers or material. I saw one that was in a flower pot with a fake flower around it.

[@elysezahra6219]

Great review. We have installed this camera at home and can only seem to access it when in the house via wifi. When not at home the app won't connect and says camera is offline. Can you please help?

[@seneznoe4123]

Maybe you need a Public IP from your ISP.

[@gregrichardson2070]

Good information - my 2 observations are : 1. If you on holidays for extended periods , can you delete past days/hours ect of data so the card doesn't fill up ? 2. The 'theft mode alarm seems a bit odd in that the recording is held on the device, so all the intruder needs to do is either unplug and take the camera or unload the SD card. What do you think ?

[@Semaj97]

I read somewhere that if it runs out of space it deletes old footage and records new footage. Which is good and bad. And your 2nd observations is what I was thinking too lol. You'd have to kind of hope that person breaking in doesn't know about the tp link sd slot

[@Google_Does_Evil_Now]

@@Semaj97 the SD recording thing concerns me too. Does it also record through the WiFi to TP Link to the app on my phone? Maybe on TP Link cloud? Otherwise do we need to hide the camera so the thief doesn't see it and steal the SD card or the whole thing?

[@netlob]

@@Google_Does_Evil_Now if you use their (paid) cloud service it’s saved in the cloud, otherwise just locally yeah

[@jrgenholteng1529]

@@netlob If it could save the recordings also on NAS (Network Attached Storage) like MyCloud from WD that would be great.... Like a backup....

[@i4a]

Is the the device wireless. Meaning can you charge it up and use it without the wire?

[@marklittler784]

No

[@wilco148]

Thanks..

[@BoxCoUk]

You're welcome! 😁👍

[@zorinadawncasas-jl4tz]

hello can tapo c200 stills record ( with s card) even if the power is cut off?? Does it have built-in storage and battery ?? that allows them to record for a set amount of time after the power has gone

[@borky1987]

No battery in it

[@tjmarx]

What wasn't mentioned is the cloud subscription necessary to access all features.

[@bucharestred]

what happens if an intruder steals the camera with the SD card inside.

[@lochanawijesundera]

When you get a motion notification, do you need to manually enable recording? Whatever is recorded, can I access this via my app and save to my phone? Is there any cloud option? Reason I ask is if I'm not able to respond to the motion event, will it fail to record and save the data so I can access it later via the app?

[@marklittler784]

Old question answering for everyone else, it's automatically stored on cloud if you pay subscription or micro SD card if fitted

[@AmitVerma-kw7oq]

Can we use this camera with mobile hotspot plz tell me...

[@clausboman]

THX for review. Does it record the sound the same time it record video?

[@marklittler784]

It does

[@user-qn9tm8yp5b]

the sound is really bad. worse than old mp3 players with microfone feature. do not buy this one for sound recording, it's a mess

[@XX-pd2qh]

Will I have to get an Alexa or Google home for this security camera to work

[@BoxCoUk]

Hi! No, you don't need Alexa or Google Home to run it. It uses the TP-Link Tapo App 👍

[@Gudha_Ismintis]

Hi - how long is the charge on this / how often do you have to keep charging?

[@BoxCoUk]

Hi, this camera is powered by cable only and cannot be charged.

[@dundermifflinscranton]

Hi. Im curious. Does the location of the camera itself needs wifi connection? or just the phone?

[@Google_Does_Evil_Now]

The camera needs to connect to your Wi-Fi in order for you to view the camera using the app on your phone. If you connect the camera to your Wi-Fi then you open the app on your phone and the app on your phone and the camera can communicate to each other. Then you can see the video or the photos.

[@thanosandreou]

Can't find how to flip the image. Can you help?

[@Google_Does_Evil_Now]

In this video or the other video she shows an option on the settings for Flip in the app.

[@rrsrsamsung3623]

Hi. Can you move the camera by swiping on the mobile screen?

[@marklittler784]

No by using pan and tilt control pinch screen to zoom in

[@WPGinterceptor460Interceptor]

do you have to pay a monthly subscription for this to access your files etc

[@BoxCoUk]

No as it saves the video footage to an internal SD card that you copy the files over to your computer from.

[@kelanhaynesworth7579]

Wireless?

[@d-realtruth1788]

Storage is one of the problem for the cctv camera's if you want to have a peace of mind without worrying your storage,pair this device with NAS Synology or Qnap.Thanks

[@otszzz79]

Depends on the purpose I guess . Just like my dashcam, I use in loopmode. If nothing happened I dont need the footage anymore

[@deepteshagrawal]

Hi...where does it store the video? on the micro sd card for 24*7 or just motions? or does it store on cloud?

[@BoxCoUk]

Hi, it just stores the data on the micro SD.

[@Google_Does_Evil_Now]

This is very important to know.

[@user-qn9tm8yp5b]

There is cloud as well as sd card.

[@user-qn9tm8yp5b]

@boxcouk Wrong

[@LazyWalk]

Is it possible to record video directly in mobile with app ?

[@shekars5899]

Yes

[@otszzz79]

In the v380 app of other cam model, only possible to record without audio on the phone. I didnt use cloud service. So I just used the free playback on phone via sdcard instead of cloud, and then recorded with screenrecorder if needed some footage with audio

[@EricThompson-gs9ce]

The one thing you didn't cover is subscription requirements. Does this come with a scription free service?

[@marklittler784]

Yes optional, subscription allows storage on cloud not just micro SD card and subscription allows other extras

[@martindalelawnlandscaping6660]

Good review can you use it inside to look through your window rather then having one outside or will the glass window obscure video quality

[@BoxCoUk]

It should work fine looking through a window. Location will effect it to an extent if the window gets a lot of direct light or a lot of animal activity etc but it should be fine.

[@samruddhiborkar3333]

Can I use this as baby monitor? Does it make noise while moving?

[@qwerty6789x]

theres an option for baby cry detection in the settings

[@rosscosan6647]

Power cable is about 3M long.

[@craigyboy3724]

Can I see what’s happening at my home when I’m at work on the app?

[@ktm640lc4BGD]

no

[@Mrmassikar]

@@ktm640lc4BGD yes you can ya daft fool

[@shayer14]

User manual says 2 users can have access to the cameras through the app? Does it mean 2 users at the same time because I need 5 users to have the access in total but don’t mind if the maximum number of ppl who can view it at any given time is 2.

[@marklittler784]

Believe only two devices can have access at all

[@tanayatube]

the wording is a bit confusing, does the alarm automatically go off or do you have to activate it when motion is detected

[@marklittler784]

Optional

[@deanwebber5682]

Is it a must to have wifi? Or will it still record without it?

[@charlessubrio7990]

WiFi is for online review only.. It still record with or without wifi

[@alessoalesso2154]

Can people talk to the camera and the person on the phone hear it? Or it's just one way around?

[@marklittler784]

Two way
