C120 2K 4MP WiFi Outdoor Camera, Built-In Dual Spotlights, Color Night Vision Security with No Monthly Fee, AI Detection, Sound & Light Alarm, IP66 Weatherproof,CCTV, Cross-Line Detection

Tapo C120 2K 4MP Wifi Outdoor Camera is compact, very easy to install and picked up wifi without any problems. Works well on the Garage to keep an eye on the car and the drive way. Picture quality is excellent, it is suitable for outdoor use and with an extender in the garage wifi is showing excellent quality outdoors. Keeps recording whilst detecting movement. Don't need to pay for the cloud. I am recording onto a memory card. Overall I am very impressed with the Outdoor camera.

So easy to install and works really well. Zoom quality and night vision are outstanding. Great value and excellent quality. Easy to access through the app. I would recommend these. This is one of FOUR which I now have after buying one to test it out initially. 😉👌

Great little camera. The Tapo app and whole ecosystem is brilliant in my opinion. Subscription and ad free - works really well with an SD card. An absolute breeze to set up - with the adhesive pad and magnetic base, I got this up and running and installed in position in under 2 minutes. The Image quality is great and the lights are a great addition to capture even better quality footage at night. But even without the lights, the night vision quality is really very good and far better than the Yi/Kami camera I replaced with this. Although this is an outdoor camera, I've used it indoors as I think it looks nicer than a lot of the indoor cameras you can get. This is small and can fit really snugly into the corner of the ceiling. You can manipulate the bracket into just about any angle and the camera view has the option to invert it, so you can set it up either way up. It comes with a really good length cable so you can run it quite a distance from the power supply if needed.

I’m another long term Ring customer moving away from the company due to their subscription costs. A direct comparison isn’t really fair, as I’ll explain, so I’ll review this camera for what it is - but I will also make some comparisons to the Ring camera it is replacing. I picked this camera up for less than £30. It is replacing a Ring Stick Up Cam Elite that cost £180 (although I paid £120 on offer). Out of the box, the C120 is a compact little thing, not too light, but not heavy either. Setup was easy…well, eventually. Although this is an outdoor capable camera, I am only using it indoors. It doesn’t really strike me as sturdy enough for prolonged outdoor use but I can’t really comment on that. Bad Stuff I’ll get the bad stuff out the way first..The main reason I’ve deducted one star is to do with the power cable. I’d read other reviews that mentioned problems with this so I wasn’t too thrown when it wouldn’t power up. I turned the USB-C head round the other way and then it powered on. But there were still issues as the connection isn’t secure and even without moving the cable at all, it kept dropping the power connection. So I swapped to another cable and all was fine. However, the other cable is sturdy and that exposed the other slight issue. The stand is adjustable in loads of directions. A stiffer, heavier cable forces the camera out of position. Because the camera is quite light, it’s also not that stable in freestanding mode. Better Stuff Just does what you want it to do with little fuss. Setup is easy. The daylight image is decent. Each mode of low light capability is also really good. It has some smart stuff (identification of people, pets etc) but I really won’t have a use for that. Responds fairly quickly to the app. Isn’t dependant on subscription. Comparing to Ring This is largely specific to the Ring camera I have and mentioned above. If you are replacing a Ring camera, some of this might not apply to yours. I actually prefer a lot about the Ring camera. * I like the look and build quality of it more than the Tapo. * The daytime image quality on the Ring is only 1080P but is a more natural image. It is less crisp but has lower blocky artefacts than the Tapo. * The Tapo’s low light performance is far superior though. * The field of view (FOV) is significantly better on the Ring, both horizontally and vertically. Realistically I’d need 2 of this Tapo camera to properly cover the same area that the Ring camera does * The app experience is very similar between the two, responsiveness is similar too. I would have happily stuck with Ring if it weren’t for their subscription greediness. I have a Ring Doorbell Pro too, and paying for subscription for them was now £50 per camera. I bought this Tapo Camera, a Tapo Doorbell Camera, one of their Hubs and a 512gb microSD card for storage for £170, as my Ring Protect was due to renew at £100 soon. So, in less than two years I’ll be saving based on Ring Protect costs alone. I’ll be honest, I was originally a little disappointed in this Tapo camera when comparing it to my 6-year-old Ring camera but the point is that it is perfectly good enough for what I need and frees me from Ring’s inflated subscription costs (which, over 6 years must total a few hundred quid). It is also unfair to directly compare the two cameras. One was £28, the other £120 - yet the difference between them is not that great. Really, the biggest let down is the horizontal FOV, but I could but two of the Tapo and it still not break the bank. Summary This is a perfectly good camera and a bargain at the price. A worth option to free yourself from Ring.

Great quality video. Night vision is good too. Occasionally firmware updates can cause problems so disable auto update and wait for a week or so. Works well with smart things. Local recording on constant loop is much better than relying on motion sensors but the motion detection is actually OK on these. Very small and easy to hide. Needs USB C power but WiFi works well for 2k streaming

This cameras are literally amazing. Having bought one a couple of months ago I was impressed by the quality especially in night mode. Bought a second one for my garden. Paired them with 2 micro SD cards with 128GB each which gives me about 3 weeks of continuous recording. The set up is very easy and straightforward with no issues. Type C cable is long enough. The phone notifications work extremely well, motion sensor is very good. Don't buy a cheap micro SD card because it will impact on quality and speed when you go back on your footage. The both are outside and are fully water proof. After WiFi first set up, I recommend restarting the router to avoid any connection issues. 10 out 10

Great product, easy to set up and use alongside the other cameras I have. Good price, nice image even in the dark. Connectivity took a couple of goes but once I had got closer to the router was easy. Good options for motion detection. Love it.

This is a great little camera. Don't be put of by the small size, this is a very good wireless ip cctv camera with great image quality, night vision and functions. Mounting options for this camera are extremely novel! It can be screw mounted directly to any surface as normal, but can also be mounted magnetically to any metal surface, or mounted to the supplied metal disc plate which can be either screwed or stuck to a surface with the supplied adhesive pad. It can even be used just sat on a shelf or table top without mounting. The magnetic mounting option is very good and strong enough to mount securely. Image quality is very good and it has options to use either infra red night imagery or use the two led spot lights for full colour image at night. It also has a lot of clever motion and sound monitoring alert features, including sounds of baby crying, cat meow, dog bark, glass breaking and identifies movement of people, cars, pets etc. It has a loud alarm feature and you can even listen and talk through the camera. No fees or subscription is required to view live or recorded footage on the free Tapo app. (You will just need to purchase and install a micro sd card). Or you can subscribe and pay for their cloud based service if you want it, but it is not required. This is a fantastic little camera especially at the low price. I have purchased numerous differnt Tapo wireless cctv cameras and this is one is very impressive for its size, image quality and features. I have replaced two wired cctv dvr systems (home and business) with various Tapo cameras and am more than happy with the cost, image quality and funtionality. I have no hesitation in recommending Tapo wireless ip cctv cameras. This is a genuine review of the camera purchased by me.
