Description

The TP-Link Tapo C225 is a compact IP camera that pans 360 degrees. You can use it indoors and set it up so it follows movement. This way, you never miss anything, even if it happens outside the direct vision of the camera. If the camera detects movement, you receive a notification on your phone. You can set up the camera so that an alarm goes off, which scares off the intruders. The app allows you to watch the Full HD images. Do you want to review images later? Insert an SD card into the security camera, or choose for paid cloud storage. The TP-Link Tapo C225 also has a physical privacy button. This puts a slider over the camera, so you can be sure no one is watching you.

Review is 10 out of 10.

Great camera, app is okay, connection with Synolgy is fine.

Razor sharp image
Nice little model
Simple installation.

Out of the box with the app, installation was a breeze. The camera was online in 5 minutes. Created an account in the settings for the connection with the Synology where I store the images. The image is razor sharp, the app is clear.

Nice design, does its job excellently

Exceeds expectations
Clear image
Also excellent night quality
Adding an extra device is a bit of a puzzle

Bought this product to keep an eye on the new puppy's crate (at night). Works fine.

Disappointing

Cannot assign Static IP

This device is unusable at the moment for me. The camera fails to pair during the initial setup, this was due to the IP address being received by the camera was outside the IP range of the router, hence, I had to configure the router to the IP range the camera IP is being assigned. After which, the setup completed successfully but after 2-3 minutes it gets disconnected and the Tapo App becomes unresponsive. I've tried assigning a static DHCP on the device but after 2-3 minutes it gets an APIPA IP address (169.254.XXX.XXX). I already contacted the customer support, raised the problem in the TP-Link Community and gone through documentation shared through their communication channels but no solution has been found, hence is disappointing. If the issue does not get solved soon then I will return this device. Note that I have a C200, C420 and other Tapo Devices in my network this is the only one that is having network connectivity issues.

If you're looking into building a home security network, think twice before building it with TP-Link devices due to product limitations (which is often not mentioned), inadequate customer support and documentation.
