I found answer after watching tones of videos and thats was if the video is saved on memory card after motion and if i can check the videos savwd on sd card by app in phone .. thanks great video 👌
Nice review 1 question This camera cannot auto rotate & record right Only motion detection will rotate it automatically Am I right Not even selected areas will rotate automatically Pls help
Does it need to be plugged in to an electrical socket to work? I have yet been unable to use it while it is not plugged in which limits potential mounting areas.
I notice while the reviewer was scrolling through the mobile app setting at +4:39 , a setting called " LED " with what appeared to be ON:OFF ( cant be certain if this disabled the auto night illumination leds ) its a shame the reviewer did not test the cameras ability to see in reduced light ( inbuilt lighting disabled ) I have very similar home YCC386 PTZ Camera ( about same price ) with :: LED Night illumination DISABLED .. whos cmos sensor is sensitive enough to see pretty well in little more than moonlight, and in full colour into a floodlite space ( from behind a glass window ) the main advantage is that camera also comes with reasonably priced remote ( Cloud storage ) something that I feel is very important, as a backup to the local storage ( as most likely thieves would most certainly attempt to destroy evidence, by smashing the camera, bad luck for them, the evidence is also duplicated on a secure server ) ! However: for LIVE VIEWING you are watching the video echoed back from the remote " cloud " server ( usually in china ) playback can be jerky & laggy ( thou not playback of RECORDINGS )
Yes. I have mine set in 'Daytime' mode only. If it's set to auto it will turn on the IR LED's at night but in Daytime mode it won't. Mine sits pointing out the front window where I have a decent outside light. It records perfectly at night and is nice and clear.
You can turn of the lights on it in the settings. I had the same problem with the windows. As long as there's enough light outside from street lights etc you'll be fine otherwise it will just be dark footage. Would of been nice to see the camera moving
Hi. I just bought this cctv camera. But it doesnt record automaticaly and contineously. Can you help me how to set it up? Recording is only i tap the recording, so if im busy, i cannot record it. Its useless. I want to play back even im busy. Can skmeone help me?
In the TAPO app, click the cog in the top right corner to open the settings. There is a setting there for microSD recording. Make sure that is enabled. Then in the Recording Schedule make sure that it is set to record when you want it to. There you can do set it to 'Continuous Records', 'Detection Recording' & 'Don't Record'.
@@1000gregory4 If you have an e3cho show device. You can tell Alexa to show your front porch or whatever you have called the camera in the Tapo app. See th-cam.com/video/QbMBjzqfHPY/w-d-xo.html
I have recently got a Tapo C200, I was hoping this camera would work at night, but you are correct that the camera will only show a reflection on a dark night using the night mode, the result is the same when auto is selected, but I tried it on day mode and it works fine, no reflection, you can't pick out number plates but you can see the individuals getting in our out of their cars.
No camera (just like your eyes) can get any image through the window when the light source is behind the window. You did not provide any useful information about the nightmode
Was working great for 2yr, just lost my phone & I dont know how to set it up on new phone, arrgghh. So frustrating. I'll need to end my subscription till I can afford a new one.😪
Great review. Thanks

Is there any delay while viewing live? Because i had a camera once and it has a few seconds delay while viewing live with my iphone app..
Does it need to be plugged in to an electrical socket to work? I have yet been unable to use it while it is not plugged in which limits potential mounting areas.
It needs to be plugged in ye
please tell me what is its playback speed ???
If it's possible to disable the IR LEDs it will record through windows. Is it possible??
I notice while the reviewer was scrolling through the mobile app setting at +4:39 ,
a setting called " LED " with what appeared to be ON:OFF
( cant be certain if this disabled the auto night illumination leds )
its a shame the reviewer did not test the cameras ability to see in reduced light ( inbuilt lighting disabled )
I have very similar home YCC386 PTZ Camera ( about same price )
with :: LED Night illumination DISABLED ..
whos cmos sensor is sensitive enough to see pretty well in little more than moonlight,
and in full colour into a floodlite space ( from behind a glass window )
the main advantage is that camera also comes with reasonably priced remote ( Cloud storage )
something that I feel is very important, as a backup to the local storage
( as most likely thieves would most certainly attempt to destroy evidence,
by smashing the camera, bad luck for them, the evidence is also duplicated on a secure server ) !

@@dfb21 Can this camera continuously record sound and is the sound good quality? Thanks in advavance
Does the cam have to be charged fully before using?
Runs on 9 Volt power through a transformer connected to the mains.
@@seanmoylan5054 Thanks!
Does this app have a monthly cost or just the one off cost of the camera?
One off cost mate. Maybe u found that out by now though.
There is a monthly subscription when you want the video to recorded to the cloud. If you prefer to just use an SD card, there is no subscription cost.
Incomplete review tbh, night footage missing, also does it allow you monitor live footage remotely ?
Can I view this on my smart TV or lap top?
You can look at it on an Echo Show.
@@seanmoylan5054 is that an app on a LG TV?

If night vision a problem just turn on the all day setting.
Is compatible with apple
Yes
If you need a outdoor camera buy a out door camera why would you think a indoor camera is suitable for that
