Installing CCTVs or security cameras in your home used to be intimidating and expensive. Now, thanks to reputable brands like Tapo, it has never been easier.
Having a constant eye inside your home has never been more important, especially if you have kids or pets left at home while you are out working or on travels.
More than having a lens to check up on things, what you need is an intelligent camera that can detect what is happening, so you’d only have to check in when you actually need to and not constantly look at the camera worrying that an accident have happened (or an intruder has come in).
Today, we’ll talk about what the mighty Tapo C220 has to offer, and see how it ensures that you can monitor your home intelligently and efficiently — all without breaking the bank.
A security camera perfect for parents… and fur parents
The Tapo C220 has Smart AI Detection and Notification that can intelligently detect humans from pets so it knows if, say, your dog has wandered off a restricted area of your house, or if an intruder has entered your home.
Tapo’s intelligent AI is also used for a feature called Abnormal Sound Detection. This lets you use the camera like a smart baby monitor as it can ping you (through the mobile app) if it hears that your baby starts crying.
Currently under beta, the camera can also detect glass breaking, dog barking, cat meowing, and even vehicle detection.
See if there’s movement, and have it followed
The Tapo C220 has a 360-degree horizontal pan and 114-degree vertical tilt. This means that you can manually adjust the view while watching the feed on your phone.
But if you’re busy at work, the camera can precisely follow any moving subjects it detects using Smart Motion Tracking, so you can review the recorded clip later. A great feature for fur parents who have lots of pets and wonder who ate their slippers or broke the lamp.
You can also adjust the Customizable Activity Zones, so the camera will only notify you if a moving subject has entered your set area.
Capture and share precious moments at home
Most of the small, simple, precious moments we have with family happen at home. With a smart camera like the Tapo C220 and its large microSD card capacity of up to 512GB, rest assured that those memories are always captured so you can cherish them forever.
In addition, you can easily share those priceless moments and even cute funny clips, with family and friends using Tapo Sharing. All these moments are captured in high 2K QHD resolution.
Nosy roommates? Mischievous pets? Tell them off with two-way audio
The Tapo C220 has a built-in microphone and speakers for two-way audio, so you can instantly communicate with anyone on the frame.
Is your roommate poking at your stuff? Is your pet misbehaving? Are your kids being naughty? Easily tell them off using the two-way audio on the Tapo app.
Privacy is a top priority
Since it’s a security camera meant for your home, Tapo ensured that privacy is the top priority of the C220. It has a feature called Privacy Mask, which lets you put block zones in certain areas of your home, like your bed, so that space will be and always will be safe and private.
If you don’t have time to set it up, there’s an easy Privacy Mode button on the app that instantly ceases streaming and recording functions until you disable the mode again.
Aside from these awesome features, this security camera further impresses with its compatibility with Google Home, Alexa, and Tapocore. It also ships with a wall mount and an extra-long power adapter so you can easily mount it anywhere.
The Tapo C220 is available in TP-Link’s flagship store in SM North EDSA, authorized resellers, and through Shopee and Lazada for a price of only Php1,790.
