TP Link Tapo C220 IP Camera with AI | QHD | RTSP | Webcam

[@harmandeepsaggu1929]

Good review Brother :) To capture fast moving objects better, set powerline frequency to 50 Hz, FPS to 25 and resolution to 2K QHD. Improve a lot. Also note that Tplink degraded sensor on C220 compared to C210. Buggers increased focal lenght to narrow FOV and increase FPS. Chipset is same in C210v3 and C220 v1. Also keep in mind that tapo's are known to do foolish compression to save on bitrate in lieu of tapo cloud cost savings. This cripples quality. For outdoor, go with conventional Dahua IP cams. For Indoor usage, tapo c220 is really good and vfm. Tapo C220 max VBR bitrate threshold is 2560 kb/s while Tapo C200 is 1024 kb/s as seen in onvif profile metadata.

[@rtechreviews]

Very informative 👍🏻

[@myksingh]

@@rtechreviews you can set powerline frequency to 60hz and then you will get the option for 30fps. It will really make the video smooth

[@manishkukreja9683]

Hii! How's the speaker of the camera? Is it loud enough? And does this have manual siren option?

[@RayFromAus]

Update : After using this camera for 2 days mainly for porch monitoring. I concluded following things. Pros : 1. Video recording quality is very good. 2. AI motion tracking & sorting into smaller clips as an event is very useful. 3. IR night vision is good. 4. Patrol mode is excellent. 5. You can stream videos using mobile hotspot WITHOUT INTERNET, both streaming device & camera must be connected to same wifi network. Cons : At 10:04 as you pointed out that their is lag/stuttering/choppy during motion ( it's because you just panned the camera & as soon as you panned, it switched to 15 FPS from 25 FPS ) I DON'T KNOW WHY TAPO DO THIS. If you pan/tilt the camera even a bit -- it stops recording in 25 FPS, Switches to choppy 15 FPS, which is very disappointing. After a minute or so coming to rest position it starts recording in 25 FPS again. So in Patrol mode / Auto tracking mode, you have bad experience with motion blur. Note : I will update in few days the number of days you can record with 64GB Samsung SD card. Update : You can record 4 Days worth of continuous recording on 64 GB Memory Card (2K @25FPS). Update 2 : The motion blur during motor of camera activation is now finnally resolved in new FW 1.1.10 (beta) the Frame rate now only drops when it's pan/tilting & immediately starts recording 30 FPS as soon as camera stops.

[@rtechreviews]

Also it has internal antennas that hinders it's wifi performance

[@matsnits]

If a pet appears first in the five and then a human, the video would still be marked as pet which is the initial detection, the should mark pet and human near the video in playback page I guess

[@matsnits]

FOV

[@StefanAlexandruGeogloman]

Does the notification automatically send a snapshot or the video recorded? Since the footage is stored locally and someone could take the camera if would be helpful to have the notification with some snapshots included for security.

[@rtechreviews]

You will have to opt for cloud storage

[@StefanAlexandruGeogloman]

@@rtechreviews That's unfortunate. Thank you for the answer!! :)

[@boomerang0101]

Kindly suggest an outdoor night vision camera 🎥

[@rtechreviews]

Please check my channel... The C500 is a decent option

[@RayFromAus]

Can you please tell me whether C220 can record 30fps? Motion blur is due to low shutter speed & less frame rate, judging from the video, it looks like recording 15FPS.

[@rtechreviews]

I've seen 25 fps max

[@RayFromAus]

@@rtechreviews thanks! Just ordered one.

[@RayFromAus]

​@@rtechreviewsHey, sorry for bothering you again. I just noticed it can record in 30 FPS too, if you switch power line frequency to 60 HZ / Auto.

[@regwatson2017]

I noticed frame jumps and stutters on the max res with the C210 as you get here with the scooter rider including the catch-up frames rates which didn't seem to occur much if you drop it down to a lower res (wasn't an issue with C200 on the max 1080p res) on movement including during camera movement and I have both a fast router and fibre to the premises - I assume that is why they have done the little trick to try to increase FPS on this model as mentioned by @harmandeepsaggu1929.

[@mustafaberker1453]

Can you connect the camera with your phone when you are outside with 4G? (You re not in the same Wifi Network)

[@rtechreviews]

Yes

[@nelsonteixeiraphotography]

How does the microphone perform? I have a similar camera and I can't quite understand what people say in the same room. Same when I use it as a speaker, talking to my phone. Very bad sound. How about this camera? Thanks!

[@rtechreviews]

This is decent

Good Review. I have one question can this be mounted on the celling of a house as there is no clear information ? We have a complex space and looking if we can we can fix on the celling ?

[@rtechreviews]

Absolutely yes

[@vikasmalukani9181]

quality of video looks far better than my C320WS. Any reason why C320WS doesnt capture video with such clarity even though both are 4 MP. I always feel C320ws video is quite blur. Can i get the height and arieal distance between camera and the placard placing guy ?

Did you enable HQ option and hardware acceleration

​@@Abk9099 @rtechreviews 2K is already enabled but as also experienced by @rtechreviews in review of C220 similar is the issue with C320WS.(image stitching)...C320WS 4 MP is good for clarity of surroundings...faces are still hazy even from a distance as close as 6 feet which is poor for a 4MP camera.....and when i compare C210 against C320WS ....C210 seems better at capturing faces ..C320WS fails to capture boundary of face and feels hazy at borders or shape of face....C320WS doesnt seem to have the setting to control FPS as mentioned by someone below to reduce stutter

[@vineeth692]

Is night vision coloured or black and white?

[@rtechreviews]

B&W .. this does not have night colour vision

[@renzcorpuz8607]

What happens when the sd card is already full? Does it automatically deletes the recorded footage? Or just manually delete it?

hi can we store the video in the our local network harddrive which is connected to the wifi router automatically?

[@rtechreviews]

May not be possible via the app but other ways yes.. for example you can download the video to your phone and from there you can copy to harddrive...

@@TEJGAMING-rn5od they don't work with MI cameras too. need a very specific NAS for it. more of a gimmick than a real feature

[@SrvGodara91]

Not really.. you need smb for MI .. also you can either record to a server/nas via rtsp or onvif on tp link cameras

[@vishal22singh]

Is the recording format h264 or h265

[@rtechreviews]

Definitely not 265 and I doubt it's 264 it's more of images stitched together as a video in MP4

[@mustafaberker1453]

It is recorded to google drive or onedrive etc? Or we must pay to tp link cloud ?

[@rtechreviews]

Memory card is free recording... Tp link cloud will charge you in case you need that option

Yes it does

[@LUCKYGAMING23]

Acer Nitro Xv272U V3 please review the moniter its worth or not

[@daviddyen4015]

Thanks for this good review I think that there are some differences between C220 and 225, not only the body : 1- F2.0 vs F1.6, C225 2- Not sure about vision angles between both because no specifications on C220 about that... important question in order to minimize Patrol or Pano modes 3- Tilt 360° / 114° vs 360° / 149° 4- IR Led better on C225 ? Otherwise both seems to be good camera with latest innovations from Tapo I'd dream of H265 and Wifi 6 support for all Cameras ...
