If I buy 2 cameras can I view them on the same app?

Galaxus

Helpful answer

Yes, it is possible to view several cameras on the same Tapo application. You can add several cameras to the Tapo application, configuring each one with a unique name for easy identification, and then view them all from the same interface. The sharing function also allows several TP-Link accounts to access the cameras, but each camera must be added individually to the application.

Good morning Which memory card do I need for the TP-Link Tapo C225 V1

Galaxus

4 months ago

Helpful answer

You can use a microSD card with a capacity of up to 512 GB for the TP-Link Tapo C225 V1. It is recommended to choose cards with high endurance specifically designed for continuous read and write operations to ensure stable performance. Note that certain models such as the Samsung EVO Plus U3 are not supported.

Hello How many GB of memory is used by the SD card when recording for 12 hours at a time?

Galaxus

4 months ago

The exact storage space consumption of a microSD card during continuous recording with the Tapo C220 depends on the quality of the recordings and the compression. In general, however, it can be assumed that a 4MP recording over 12 hours could consume around 20 to 40 GB of storage space, depending on the compression and the actual recording quality.

Hello Digitecler When I was travelling today, I got an error message regarding the SanDisk High Endurance, which is in the Tapo C225. Error message: " Could not be initialised This MicroSD card has an abnormal expansion capacity. Please try a new MicroSD card." When I got home, there was no more error message. This SanDisk High Endurance 256 GB MicroSD card was also recommended. It was formatted in the Tapo C225. Can anyone tell me anything about this, has this also happened to others here? Many thanks

Hello, I have not yet had this error message with C225, but I know something like this from other devices, such as Dashcms. It is very difficult for normal users to find the cause. Sometimes it helps to reformat the SD card with a PC and then repeat the formatting in the target device, in this case C225. If this does not help, the only option is to replace the SD card, which can usually be used in another device without any problems. Good luck

Hello TP-Link professionals Is it possible to control or monitor this indoor cam remotely with the app via iPhone without purchasing a plan? You could then use the iPhone recording function to take a video or photo. Thank you very much Greetings Range

Galaxus

Helpful answer

Yes, you can control or monitor the camera remotely via the app on your iPhone without the need for a subscription. You can use the app to view the live feed and play back videos as long as the camera is connected to the internet. However, you cannot save videos or photos directly via the iPhone recording function, as the camera itself saves the recordings on a memory card.

I would like to use the camera in the garage, which is of course also very dark. Is it suitable for this? I would also like to mount it on the ceiling. Is this possible?

Galaxus

6 months ago

The camera is well suited for use in dark environments such as a garage, as it has a night vision function with a starlight sensor that provides clear images even in low light conditions. In addition, the infrared night vision can be switched to a 940 nm mode, which utilises invisible IR lights to avoid disturbing people or animals. Ceiling mounting is possible as the camera has a pan and tilt function that allows it to be swivelled horizontally by 360° and vertically. This means it can also monitor the desired area from a ceiling position. Summarised: - Night vision with starlight sensor for good image quality in the dark - Switchable IR LEDs (visible or invisible) - Pan/tilt function for flexible alignment, even from the ceiling - Suitable for indoor areas such as garages This makes the camera suitable for your garage and ceiling installation.

Hi, I would like to buy this camera but I am not clear on the specifications regarding RTSP and ONVIF support. Are both already as native support or not?

Galaxus

6 months ago

The Tapo C220 camera does not natively support RTSP and ONVIF protocols. Some users have reported difficulties using these protocols with this particular model. For more information, please consult the official TP-Link support or the community forum for updates or alternative solutions.

Can you control several Tapo cameras together on the app or can you only manage a single one? Do you have to put an additional SD card in the camera even if you store everything on the cloud (which you have to pay for)?

Galaxus

7 months ago

You can control and monitor multiple Tapo cameras simultaneously in the Tapo app. There is no quantitative limit to the number of cameras that can be managed from one account. In addition to cloud storage, you can also use an SD card to store local recordings. This is optional, but it offers additional flexibility when storing your data.

Do you know if the motion sensor will work if the camera is behind the window and I want to record motion that happens outside?

Galaxus

7 months ago

Helpful answer

The motion sensor on this camera is designed to detect movement within its field of view, but it may not work effectively if the camera is placed behind a window. This is because the motion sensor typically relies on detecting changes in the environment, which can be obstructed by glass. For optimal performance, the camera should be positioned to have a clear line of sight to the area you want to monitor. If you need to monitor outside, consider placing the camera outside or using a different setup that allows for unobstructed detection.

Does anyone know whether the camera supports WPA2-Enterprise? This means logging into the WLAN with a user name + password. Normally such devices only support WPA2-Personal (login with only one password). Unfortunately, I can't find anything about this in the manual.

Hello Do you have to put an SD card in it to make it work? If I don't want to record anything but just be able to monitor it.

Galaxus

No, you don't need an SD card to operate the Tapo C220 camera. You can use the camera for live surveillance without needing an SD card, as it works perfectly well without recording videos on a memory card.

Hello everyone, How far down can I turn the camera so that it still films? Can I place it on a windowsill and see what is on the ground directly in front of the windowsill?

Galaxus

1 year ago

The Tapo C225 camera has a tilt function that allows the camera to be rotated vertically. The tilt range of the camera is 60° mechanically, which corresponds to an effective tilt coverage of 149°. You can therefore set the camera to look downwards, but it cannot film down to the floor directly in front of the window sill if it is placed on the window sill. However, the camera can be pointed downwards to a certain angle to monitor the area below the window sill, but it depends on the specific position and height of the window sill how much of the floor area it can actually cover.

This question was asked months ago, but the answers were only partially clear, so I'm asking it again. Is the hardware version of the camera the current version V2 or the outdated version V1 with the inferior image sensor? It would be nice if this were clear from the item description.

Hello, the question was asked 6 months ago, but unfortunately in my opinion no reliable answer. Galaxus: is this the V2 or V1? Thanks for the clarification. I'm only interested in the V2. The pictures and the highlights rather suggest V1, as the TAPO site uses different pictures for the V2. Thanks for the clarification

Yes, it works great with the Tapo app. A few additional functions, such as cloud storage etc. require a basic or premium plan. Simple, if this should be a topic.

I would like to monitor my sleep and register any epileptic seizures. Is this camera suitable for this? Of course, it is not intended to replace professional monitoring. But is it enough to twitch around in bed for the movements to be registered as such? And is the night vision function sufficient?

The camera has a very good resolution, even at night. The motion detection also works very well, it would certainly be worth a try.

Is the power cable really only 1 metre? It looks longer on various videos. Is it possible to use the cable from the C210? It is approx. 3m

Prof

1 year ago

Helpful answer

Hello, my C225 has a cable with a length of 3 metres. A cable from the C210 fits in terms of size, but the plug-in power supply has a lower output. C225: 12V/1A, C210: 9V/0.6A. However, you can use any power supply with cable that fits in terms of power, length and correct plug size. If you are unsure of the plug size, there are universal power plugs with cable and a range of plug sizes supplied that you can try out. However, the power supply should deliver 1A at 12V, as not only the electronics but also the motors need power to move the lens. You only need to set the output voltage on the power supply unit (here: 12V).
