  • Our take on the Tapo C101 1080P Indoor Security Camera

    The Tapo C101 is a compact 1080p indoor security camera from TP-Link's Tapo line. It records Full HD video, sees up to 30 ft in the dark with infrared night vision, and sends push alerts for motion, person detection and baby crying. Two-way audio and a built-in siren let you talk to pets or scare off intruders from the app. It runs on 2.4GHz Wi-Fi and stores footage on a microSD card up to 512GB without a subscription, which is its main edge over rivals like Ring and Nest that lean on paid cloud plans.

    About the Tapo C101 1080P Indoor Security Camera

    The Tapo C101 is an indoor security camera that records 1080P full HD video. It connects to a 2.4GHz Wi-Fi band and is managed through the Tapo app, which is also used to update the camera's firmware.

    The camera sends push notifications when it detects motion, a person or a baby crying, so it can also serve as a baby monitor or pet camera at no additional fee. Built-in 2-way audio lets you talk through the camera from your phone, and a built-in siren can ward off intruders. Infrared night vision reaches 30 feet.

    Recordings can be saved to a microSD card (up to 512GB, sold separately) at no cost, or stored in the cloud with a Tapo Care subscription. The camera works with Amazon Alexa and Google Assistant, so you can use voice commands to view the live stream on an Echo Show or a Chromecast-connected screen.
