Indoor Wired Camera | Tapo C100

Works very well but it took me a while to get it to connect to my modem, as the camera is 2.4 GHz only. But the functionality and app user interface are great. I would recommend it to anyone who needs to keep an eye on a child or an elderly parent.Update: Constantly going offline, despite a strong wifi signal. I bought 2 of these to keep an eye on my elderly father, and now one of the cameras is constantly going offline and the only way to rectify this is to physically disconnect and reconnect the camera. Very disappointed.Update 2: I changed the settings to use a Static IP address for each camera and they no longer go offline.I changed my rating to 4*.

am beyond impressed with this 2-pack! Setup took less than 5 minutes through the Tapo app, and the video quality is razor-sharp. Human & Motion detection is fast and responsive, the night vision is crisp, and having two-way audio is a huge bonus. Having two cameras at this price point gives total peace of mind for monitoring the house. Highly recommend!

I absolutely love Bambu printers. Even the entry-level A1, A1 Mini have excellent capabilities. If you upgrade to the P-series and up you get even better capabilities and flexibility of the enclosed printers. However, one thing that remains lagging and absolutely needs to be improved are the cameras. AFAIK, the A1, A1 mini, P1P/P1S share the same module; the P2 improves on this a little bit. You would have to go to the X1 carbon to the H-series to get better picture quality (and video feed).The attached picture was from the video feed of the C100, in total darkness. This is a $20 camera. This camera is optimized for room viewing and not close-ups, but the image quality far surpasses the built-in cameras of the printers I mentioned. I would have gladly paid an upgrade fee for a replacement Bambu OE camera.Two of my printers are in one upstairs bedroom (converted into a home office), another printer is located in a ground floor room, while a 4th printer is in the garage. Having a good view of the print in progress is a must and the "slideshow-quality" of the images taken by the OE cameras leave a lot to be desired.I tried this C100 to see what kind of improvement I could get with their cheapest model and I was in awe at the quality comparison. 720-1080p @ 15-30fps is more than adequate. You can watch the video on your phone using the Tapo app or access the network stream via RTSP. The picture showed was captured using VLC media player.Setup was simple and straightforward. Just make sure you connect to the same wireless network SSID as your phone (the printer and phone need to be in the same network group), otherwise you will be prompted every 5 minutes or so to "continue watching the stream". Once you've setup wifi-access, the app does not allow you to change the SSID. You would have to do a full reset of the camera itself to change any network configuration. Other than that, you can view all your cameras using different 3rd party methods.Power is via a small 9V DC brick with barrel connectors. The wire is sufficiently long for placing the camera in an elevated position. The camera works in both light and dark conditions and has real night vision. It also has motion detection sensors. No subscription is required. You don't need storage if you are only viewing, but may want to add 16-128GB SD card if you want to do review previous videos.

I use this primarily as a camera to keep an eye on my cat when I��m not home, and it��s been awesome. Setup was quick, the UI is easy to use, and the video quality is great for the price.The 1080p video is clear enough to see exactly what my cat is up to, and the night vision works way better than I was expecting even in very low light. Motion alerts can be a bit wonky at night when the room is larger, but during the day it works great.I really like that it supports a microSD card for local recording, so you don��t need a subscription just to save clips. I��ve had other cameras that didn��t have this, and I��ll never go back. The two way audio works well enough, but can come out as a garbled mess if you��re in an area with a spotty connection.For the price, this is a solid, reliable indoor camera if you want to keep tabs on your pets or as a security cam while you��re away.

I��ve been really impressed with my Tapo camera. The video quality is honestly way better than I expected for the price��clear, sharp image during the day and still surprisingly detailed at night with the night vision.Setup was simple and didn��t take long at all. The app is straightforward to use, and it makes checking the live feed or going back through recordings really easy. Everything feels smooth and responsive.What I like most is how reliable it��s been. The connection stays stable, notifications come through quickly when motion is detected, and I don��t feel like I��m constantly fiddling with settings just to make it work.Overall, it just does its job really well. Solid picture quality, easy control, and dependable performance. It��s one of those devices that you install and then forget about because it just works.
