I live on my own snd of a nervous disposition. Being elderly i needed to feel safe in my own home.. this has bern so easy to set up. The recording’s are brilliant..and very clear. It picks up sound and movement. 360 turn and upward/downward angle.. it has picked up a spider which makes me believe how sensitive it is. You can pay an annual fee or buy a storage card. I highly recommend this camera. I have one near my stairs and another pointing to my back door.
I have been waiting for a black version for a while, as soon as i got an email TP Link had released this unit i bought it, its essentially the same as the C210 white models but in black, it blends in perfectly.
keeping an eye out on your pets while at work for peace of mind it’s worth every penny.
the motion tracking works a treat, also choosing areas to notify you is just what i needed.
Now only if TP Link could sort the outdoor cameras to have a black version and i’d be sorted.
Another excellent camera from Tapo. It’s a good quality camera. I am not quite sure why the black C211 camera is more expensive than the white C210, as they both look similar.
It has less features than the updated, white, C220 camera. It would be good if there was a C220 in black as we needed a black camera to blend in with the surroundings.
The C211 only has motion, motion tracking, person and baby crying detection. It doesn’t have pet detection, whereas the C220 has loads more options.
I guess that the C211 is more for monitoring a baby and it is an older camera.
If I was to choose between the two cameras, then I would go for the C220. Just a shame that it is not in black, otherwise I would have purchased that one again.
I would still recommend this camera to anyone who would like a basic camera, to keep an eye on things.
Crazy Features for The Price I Think Its A Perfect Option Its Inside The House Scanning The Outside Thru The Glass So You Can Just Set It Where You Need To See Brilliant!
Very happy with this camera, I love the black colour so much compared to the white model. It has a very low latency, and rotates everywhere, which makes it so much easier to adjust the perfect angle. The night vision looks very good, I bought it to monitor my 3d printer. It does have motion tracking as well which I tested and it seems to be pretty good if there is only one subject that it needs to follow.
It records continuously to the sd card, so you can see what happened at a certain time when there is motion. The quality of the camera is pretty good, however it’s not amazing like your phone camera so don’t expect the quality to look perfect, the microphone is very good and is very clear to understand. Overall it’s a great camera, and the 360 ability makes the little camera sooo much cooler, I would advise getting a micro sd card, and not buying the cloud subscription so that you can save money in the long term.
I seen a post further down where they couldn’t get it to connect to wifi and i had same problem so did a google and found out its cos on my samsung phone i have Samsung ad blocker on so i removed permissions and it connected straight away after that. So if you have problems connecting try that. I have basic Internet as well no fibre in my area and still get 4k quality sometimes a little laggy cos of basic sky Internet but still worth it.
The Bad: This was specifically chosen due to the TPLink website clearly stating it has a RJ45 Port (attached picture), which the other models do not have. However, when the camera arrived there is no RJ45 Port… contacted TPLink to ask if I was missing a cover, or blanking plate, but no. The TPLink agent admitted their website was wrong. Oops!
The Good: Picture Quality is as expected, works just like any other TPLink Camera in this family of products. Signal / Picture can drop occasionally, but it’s only a meter from the Router, so might be too good a signal (proximity interference), which is why a network port was such a deal maker.
TPLink App has never given me any problems, and this was added without issues.
There are no other reviews at the time of writing, 15MAR24, so nothing available to state the missing RJ45 Port, therefore leaving this review to help the next person that comes from TP-Link(.)com until they fix their error. One other point, Amazon’s awesome customer service refunded the money for the network cable I bought at the same time without any issues. So that’s a plus.
