TP-Link Tapo C200 2MP Security Camera

Image Quality

This resolution provides good image clarity for identifying people and objects within the camera’s field of view. It also supports Night Vision mode with a range of up to 30 feet (9 meters), enabling visibility in low-light conditions.

Features

• Motion Detection and Alerts: The Tapo C200 can detect motion and send real-time alerts to your smartphone through the Tapo app. You can customize motion detection zones to focus on specific areas you want to monitor.
• Two-Way Audio: The camera has a built-in microphone and speaker, allowing for two-way communication. You can use this feature to talk to people in the room remotely, such as greeting visitors or deterring potential intruders.
• Sound Detection: In addition to motion detection, the Tapo C200 can also detect sounds like a baby crying or a smoke alarm going off. This can provide an additional layer of security and awareness.
• Privacy Modes: The camera includes privacy modes that allow you to disable recording or viewing whenever you want. This ensures privacy when you are at home.
• MicroSD Card Slot: The Tapo C200 features a microSD card slot that supports cards up to 128GB for local storage of recorded footage. This provides an alternative to cloud storage subscriptions.
• Remote Viewing and Control: The Tapo app allows you to view live footage from the camera remotely, access recordings, adjust settings, and control the camera’s movement (if mounted) from anywhere with an internet connection.
