Pros and cons

According to our IP camera expert

  • Thanks to the high resolution, the camera has sharper footage than a camera with Full HD resolution.
  • The camera distinguishes people, animals, and vehicles which means you get fewer false reports.
  • Setup via the app is very easy, since you won't have to run any cables.
  • You need a Tapo hub to use this camera.
  • You need a good WiFi signal where you're installing the camera, so use a WiFi extender to create a strong WiFi network near your camera.

Description

With this TP-Link Tapo C420 expansion, you can add a camera to your existing Tapo security. You can easily connect this expansion to your existing Tapo hub with the Tapo app. You already have this hub if you use any other Tapo wireless cameras or a Tapo wireless doorbell. With this camera, you can easily keep an eye on an indoor or outdoor space via the app. The camera has 2K image quality, so the footage remains fairly sharp when it zooms in. Thanks to the night vision, you can keep an eye on everything even at night. The battery of these cameras last 180 days with about 10 recording activities per month. The smart camera recognizes people, animals, and cars. That way, a bird flying by won't set off your alarm.

nice system but somewhat limited WIFI range

  • installation is smooth and simple
  • good quality product
  • manual could be a bit more extensive

installation goes very smoothly. It takes some searching to see how the more extensive functions work. a more detailed manual would be desirable for this. It is noticeable that the WiFi range of the cameras is somewhat limited. probably the result of the battery power supply, which meant that power consumption had to be controlled. To provide all cameras (especially outdoors) with a good WIFI connection, I had to install Ziggo WIFI mesh pods to achieve that. Until now, this was not necessary for other WIFI applications inside and outside our house.
