Key Specifications

Complete Room Coverage with Smart Pan/Tilt

The TP-Link Tapo C210 offers 360° horizontal rotation and 114° vertical tilt, allowing you to monitor an entire room without multiple cameras. This pan/tilt functionality means you can track moving subjects or scan different areas remotely via the Tapo app, making it perfect for open-plan living spaces or monitoring children and pets across larger areas.

Crystal Clear HD Video Day and Night

Capture every detail in 1080p Full HD resolution with the 3MP sensor. The camera delivers sharp, clear footage that helps you identify faces, read license plates, or see exactly what’s happening at home. Combined with 850nm IR night vision providing visibility up to 9.1 metres, you’ll maintain security even in complete darkness without disturbing sleeping family members.

Instant Motion Alerts and Two-Way Communication

Receive instant notifications on your smartphone when motion is detected, whether it’s a delivery arriving or unexpected activity. The built-in microphone and speaker enable real-time two-way audio, allowing you to speak with family members, deter intruders, or comfort pets while you’re away from home.

Secure Local Storage with Privacy Options

Record continuously or only when motion is detected to a microSD card (up to 128GB, sold separately), keeping your footage private and accessible without subscription fees. Privacy Mode lets you disable recording and monitoring when you’re at home, ensuring your personal moments remain just that—personal.
