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 the camera.
  • This camera has a privacy mode, which physically blocks the lens.
  • The SD card isn't included by default.
  • You need a socket and good WiFi reception at the place of installation.

Description

With a TP-Link Tapo C500 security camera, you can keep an eye on your surroundings in 360 degrees in the app. That's because the Full HD camera turns 360 degrees horizontally. It follows movement automatically, so you always have footage of an unwanted visitor. Set an alarm to scare people away. You can also talk to visitors via the app. Thanks to night vision, you also get a clear image in the dark. You can store footage on an SD card and look at them in the app. The SD card isn't included. You can also store images in the cloud for a fixed amount per month. You can connect this camera to a socket. The camera has privacy mode, which physically blocks the lens.

Good price/performance

  • Simplicity
  • Good product for that money
  • Pretty small
  • You have to subscribe for extra notifications

Bought because it is a nice little camera with pan/tilt, small was important because the one aimed at the front door should not stand out too much. Super easy to set up, really a camera for those who do not have too much technical knowledge. Everything is set automatically, so you don't have to open any ports in your router to access your camera from another location. The app works well and quickly, also via 4G. Both live images and playback of the video on the SD card. Those stored images are quickly accessible. Tracking people by the camera works well. However, make sure that the place you aim the camera at as standard does not have moving plants, etc., because then it will ping continuously. After following the person it has detected, the camera neatly returns to its starting position. I receive a notification via my phone/Apple Watch that motion or a person has been detected. Unfortunately, you must have a subscription to receive the extra notifications such as screenshots via email.

My 2nd Tapo Cam is a pleasure again

  • simple installation
  • good picture even at night
  • large viewing range (in a word, a great Cam)
  • I haven't found it yet

It is easy to install and also works well with my Synology NAS for recording on the NAS without an SD card.

Good camera in its price range.

  • Good picture
  • Low light requirement, even without IR
  • Works with RTSP
  • Wifi connection only

The camera hangs inside behind glass. IR turned off (always day), because it is reflected in the glass at night. Fortunately, the camera also provides a good image in low light. The camera only has WiFi, no Ethernet connection, but that's not a problem here. Now have 3 Tapo cameras hanging, all are fine
