Main features

One of the basic concerns about security or surveillance cameras is the quality of image. That’s not going to be a problem with TP-Link Tapo C211. It is equipped with 2K 3MP High-Definition camera that enables it to capture every detail in any indoor setting. The crystal-clear 2K high-definition video capability of this indoor security camera makes it an instant standout in its category in the local market today.

The Pan & Tilt command from the mobile app will remotely make the TP-Link Tapo C211 camera turn up, down, or all around. Thus, you can instantly scan the entire room in real-time with the advantage of the 360-degree horizontal and 114-degree vertical range of the pan/tilt field of view.

Get instant push notifications when there is a moving person or any motion detected by the home security camera. This makes TP-Link Tapo C211 ideal for parents who need to watch over their infant in another room 24/7. There is an option for a baby-crying detection through the mobile app, making it possible to detect when a baby cries and the guardian is outside the room doing other activities.

The Precise Motion Tracking feature makes it possible to track and follow a subject so you can keep it within the camera’s view. The Night Vision feature, on the other hand, enables it to keep track of what’s happening for up to 30 feet even at night.

Are you worrying about your privacy when using indoor surveillance cameras? The Privacy Zone lets you customize block zones to keep specific spaces from being recorded—so you can have peace of mind knowing that personal moments will never be recorded or possibly leaked.

The camera’s 2-Way Audio works two ways. First, you can listen to the sound in the room under surveillance simultaneously while monitoring the live video via the built-in microphone in the device. Second, you can talk remotely via the mobile app and the device’s built-in speaker so that people or pets can hear your warning or instructions (just like how the classic intercom works). You can even enjoy the Voice Control feature of Google Assistant or Amazon Alexa to do so.

Save footage into a microSD card (up to 512 GB) or subscribe to the Tapo Care for cloud storage so you can keep surveillance copies, especially during hours when you are sleeping or offline. Enjoy a 30-day free trial to the cloud storage when you sign up for an account in the mobile app for the first time.

Lastly, enjoy the Device Sharing capability anytime, anywhere. The Wi-Fi feed can be viewed from two different smartphones using a single mobile app account. Two users can both see and enjoy the features using the same indoor security camera.
