Pros and cons

According to our IP camera expert

  • The camera can pan, tilt, and zoom remotely.
  • With the SD card slot, you can store footage directly on this camera.
  • Thanks to the privacy button, you can be sure that nobody is watching you.
  • You need a good WiFi signal where you're installing the camera, so consider a WiFi extender to create a strong WiFi network near your camera.
  • The SD card to store footage isn't included by default.

Description

The TP-Link Tapo C225 is a compact IP camera that pans 360 degrees. You can use it indoors and set it up so it follows movement. This way, you never miss anything, even if it happens outside the direct vision of the camera. If the camera detects movement, you receive a notification on your phone. You can set up the camera so that an alarm goes off, which scares off the intruders. The app allows you to watch the Full HD images. Do you want to review images later? Insert an SD card into the security camera, or choose for paid cloud storage. The TP-Link Tapo C225 also has a physical privacy button. This puts a slider over the camera, so you can be sure no one is watching you.

Great camera, app is okay, connection with Synolgy is fine.

  • Razor sharp image
  • Nice little model
  • Simple installation.

Out of the box with the app, installation was a breeze. The camera was online in 5 minutes. Created an account in the settings for the connection with the Synology where I store the images. The image is razor sharp, the app is clear.

Nice design, does its job excellently

  • Exceeds expectations
  • Clear image
  • Also excellent night quality
  • Adding an extra device is a bit of a puzzle

Bought this product to keep an eye on the new puppy's crate (at night). Works fine.

Great camera

  • Very easy to install
  • Very good image
  • Night vision beyond expectations
  • Like all cameras, it is not an art object

It is not large but gives a perfect image, also a notification quite quickly if someone comes into view. Haven't had a false report yet in a week! Silent as a mouse when it is turned, it is therefore not easily noticed.
