Product details
The TP-Link Tapo C230 3-pack offers comprehensive indoor monitoring for three separate rooms or a large area. These IP security cameras feature 360-degree horizontal rotation and 114-degree vertical tilt, ensuring complete room coverage without any blind spots. The cameras record videos in sharp 3K resolution (2880 × 1620 pixels) and maintain clarity even when zooming in on details. Control is done through the Tapo smartphone app, which allows for remote panning, tilting, and real-time viewing. Intelligent motion detection automatically tracks movements within the detection range, ensuring that events are accurately recorded. The two-way audio functionality enables communication with people or pets near the camera. The system includes baby crying detection technology, making it suitable as a baby monitor. Video storage is done locally via a microSD card (card not included), eliminating the need for cloud subscription services. These wired cameras require installation near power outlets and rely on a stable Wi-Fi connection for optimal performance. The compact design measures approximately 11.5 cm in height with a base diameter of 6.5 cm and weighs around 300 g per unit. The package includes three complete camera units with necessary mounting hardware for flexible placement options in your home or office environment.
