Easy to set up, easy to use, very clear video on mobile when in use.I purchased one of these indoor cameras to keep an eye on my dogwhile we were out.Happily she settles quickly and doesn't seem overly concerned aboutbeing alone. Now, that's great but I now have a security camera I canuse when we go out, a camera to keep an eye on the garden for anyintruders and anything else I need.Yes it's indoor only but works happily on a windowsill pointing out.For the cost I'm very happy with this camera and if anything thenumber of notifications I get when movement is detected justshows how good it is. I can even add more to the system ifrequired.It has more uses than I can think of so if you can think of yourown then get this one, you won't be dissappointed.

I started using the Tapo C225 camera as a baby monitor, and it’s proven to be an incredible choice, especially compared to traditional baby monitors. The night vision and video quality really stand out, making this a reliable and cost-effective option for any parent.Pros:1. Exceptional Night Vision: The camera’s night vision is crystal clear. It easily captures everything in my baby’s room, even in total darkness. I can clearly see my child’s movements without any grainy or blurry footage, which gives me peace of mind overnight.2. High-Quality Video: The camera delivers high-definition video, ensuring I can monitor every detail in the room during the day. The clarity far exceeds what most baby monitor devices offer, especially those in the same price range. The 4MP resolution provides sharp and vibrant images.3. Motion and Sound Detection: Beyond just video quality, the Tapo C225 has intelligent motion and sound detection that sends real-time alerts to my phone. If my baby stirs or makes noise, I get an instant notification, allowing me to respond quickly.4. Cheaper Than Traditional Baby Monitors: Baby monitors with similar features (video, sound alerts, and night vision) tend to be significantly more expensive, and often lack the video quality of the Tapo C225. Instead of spending money on a standalone monitor, I’ve found this camera offers everything I need at a fraction of the cost.5. Mobile App Convenience: Instead of relying on a clunky handheld monitor, the Tapo app on my phone allows me to check the camera feed from anywhere. It’s much more convenient to have everything integrated into my phone, especially since I always have it with me.Cons:1. Wi-Fi Dependent: As with most smart devices, the camera relies on a stable Wi-Fi connection. If the connection drops or weakens, there can be interruptions in the feed. However, I haven’t encountered significant issues with this in my experience.In summary, the Tapo C225 is a high-quality, feature-packed camera that works wonderfully as a baby monitor. Its superior night vision and HD video quality easily rival (or even surpass) expensive traditional baby monitors, all while being much more affordable. If you’re looking for a reliable and economical solution, this camera is a perfect fit for new parents. The number 1 reason that I chose this over other alternatives, is the close up night vision uses invisible infrared, meaning their are no red lights coming from this camera, completely dark.

Good quality, when connection is strong; Annoyingly, it seems that any clips saved or downloaded have the TAPO watermark, despite paying for the premium but that might be industry standard, I'm not entirely familiar. On that note however, the premium is affordable although I didn't see this caveat advertised anywhere which was a bit misleading, I rather this be up-front, but it is only about £4 a month for 30-Days Cloud Storage, Automatic Clipping, etc.I use mine as a nanny cam for my kitten, the mic quality isn't great and it startles him when I try to speak to him through as it's a bit loud (so test it before you use it when your pets alone) it so I would be wary if you are buying this for your cat or dog that is home alone and maybe suffers seperation anxiety.The app is quite good, fairly user friendly and quick to get the hang of.I would prefer if the view angle was capable of looking down just a tad more since you know, small cat, and cameras typically go up high, but it's livable.It looks alright, feels a bit flimsy plastic wise but I'm just a tech nerd so to most, it's probably fine! It can be a bit reluctant to turn and has low sensitivity for adjusting the angle but again, completely livable and to be expected considering the price!Would recommend for anyone needing pet cameras or bulk security cams!

Great product for the price. Was looking for something to monitor cats whilst away over night, but also alert me to any activity in our property in Spain.Useful features include : -* easy setup - literally took 5 mins.* Alert notificiations* Night vision* Pan and tilt* Person tracking - ie camera follows detected motion* no requirement for a subscription - simply insert a microSD card for detected motion to be recorded to that for future playback.* 30 day free use of cloud recordings to trial - no need to provide credit card details as per other trial subscriptions.* mounting options* two way audio - from your smart device* ability to integrate with other smart devices....e.g. motion detected then switch light on. etconly gripes : -Slightly bulkier device than the camera it was replacing (although it did not have tilt / pan capabilities)pan functionality is great - almost 360 degrees however tilt not so therefore when placing the camera up high (on a book shelf for example) you will lose some of the field of view.
