The review that I need for this Tapo CCTV device. Very complete and detailed. All CCTV cameras should be reviewed like this. 2 thumbs up for this content.
The Best guide on how to set the C225 up I have come across, you covered all points especially the smart motion tracking which i could not find anywhere else.
@TechGuruAndrew Thanks for the video. Do you know if the Tapo C220 is better? Can't seem to find the right info anywhere. C225 doesn't seem to have an fps change, but C220 is 25?
@@ilikeitdark13 Didn't buy it. Ended up using a mobile phone mounted on a tripod. Suited my use case situation much better and higher res/fps everything,
Nice review. Very informative and helpful in decision making. One query on a point which I didnt find in the review - what features / options work without the subscription?
Tapo Care subscription just add cloud storage and "rich notifications" (notifications with pictures captured from camera). All of camera features works normally without it.
Hi, I seen your C220/C225 video reviews. Can I ask you which one captures best video quality at night and wich one you recommend to me? Because I understood that the C220 is newer and has better alarm because higher db but not has WPA 3, camera 1,6 focal aperture, starlight, 940nm infrared led of the C225.... weird?! I ask you another curiosity: in the C225 can disable the privacy phisical button? Because for example also a thief that entered in your house can push to disable the camera? Thanks
Another brilliant review thanks I'll have a look around for this one . Out of interest once connected and fully set up would they still operate if the WiFi signal was lost for some reason . Like my swann carrys on recording using it's memory would these type carry on doing it's recording . Hope all that makes sense . All best
Hi, I guess you dont control C225 through the HUB200, right? How is the battery of cameras? Do they last for 180 days as advertised? Do these camera has live view feature? Or image is availble only after alarms? Thanks
This video forgot to mention important fact that Tapo system is always accessible from the internet and therefore it is theoretically possible for anyone from the company or hacker to access your camera. And there is no way to restrict access to the local network without firewall.
@@oliberrr To be honest, I wouldn't recommend non-techies get cameras that use apps or "phone home" in any way (and yes, ALL cameras that have apps phone home). It's a pain in the arse to learn about this kind of thing with no tech know-how, but until companies are held responsible for data breaches, I can't really advise anything else. Realistically, non-techies will get them any way, you don't have to follow my advice.
@@liamhardman875 Yes, exactly, unfortunately, you cannot even set the static IP, let alone VLAN. I wish I had space in my rented apartment to accommodate all necessary networking pieces. I wasn't even able to plug in my own router instead of the provider provided. So I'd have to have NAT behind NAT ...facepalm
Great review Andrew, would like to know your opinion which is better between this and xiaomi 2k pro? About to buy but can't decide between TP-Link and Xiaomi. Cheers mate
Do you know how to remove detected events from the playlist? Unfortunately, I didn't find this option. And how to save a section of the recording to the card, e.g. 5 minutes from the time line.
It does not recognize the owner so you will have to switch it off when you are at home and hopefully not forget to switch it on again when you leave the house.

I wasn't sure about this review at the beginning but damn, you nailed it. Perfect! Quite possibly the best review I've ever seen honestly.

Did you ever find out?

*Best Review! 10/10! Thank you - so good. Thansk for sharing & keep up the great work !*
thank you for the review,i have one question,ca you record on the phone storage with this camera?
Nice review. Very informative and helpful in decision making. One query on a point which I didnt find in the review - what features / options work without the subscription?
All of them
Tapo Care subscription just add cloud storage and "rich notifications" (notifications with pictures captured from camera). All of camera features works normally without it.
How is the camera holding up months later?
Question: does the camera rotate on its own if/when it detects a person or sound?
Does Tapo recommend any specific micro sd card brand, or any will do?
Most complete review ! Thanks a lot for such a hard work¡ regards from Uruguay

Hey guys, how long is the delay? Because I want to use it for a baby monitor.
Great review!

Awesome review, VERY detailed, thanks for sharing, I want to purchase 2 of these and thanks to your review, I am going to order them! 🙂
Can this camera be access over the mobile internet from outside through the app or other way to see the video feed and two way audio?

Thnkyou for full detailed review

What is SD card format? NTFS or exFAT? What is allocation unit size?
great job. thank you!
Thanks for great review.
Thanks, is there a desktop app with this camera?
can it hold if i just do 3m tape on a wall ?

Great review, thanks. I note it says 2.5G, will it work with 5G?
2:48 So easy for a burglar or the police to cut the internet and press the reset button for 10 seconds and wipe all your video.
That's why they want you to buy their cloud subscription 12:41
Does this have zoom???
Thanks
Is motion detection free
The newest of Xiaomi or this one what should I buy? Thanks 😊
I mean the 2k pro or this one?
2K pro best
In live view how do you navigate ? Can you swipe on the mobile screen to move the camera in all directions ?
Yes you can
It does not recognize the owner so you will have to switch it off when you are at home and hopefully not forget to switch it on again when you leave the house.
what brand and model do you recommend ? i need this feature
Is the insult detection and reporting feature paid?
Too bad that you didn't process how it works in apple home kit. The reason I'm interested in that camera
What about HomeKit integration?
can I mount this upside-down?
Yes, that's the purpose of the "invert image" option 14:35
Can you not zoom in and out?
This camera can work without network
The motion don't send image of alarm
By me glass break detection doesn´t work :(
How many windows have you broken already?
i bought this camera 9 min in the video.
wala sound ung clips
I just want watch my pet home. Can i but off all sounds???
Miau and Barking dont work :/
