TP-Link Tapo C100 - Indoor Security Camera, White

The TP-Link Tapo C100 Wi‑Fi camera monitors interior spaces, such as living rooms, hallways, or offices. It records 1080p video. Because it connects via Wi-Fi, it does not require a wired Ethernet port. An integrated 850 nm infrared sensor provides visibility in low light, with a range of up to 9 metres in total darkness. The 105-degree diagonal field of view covers standard-sized rooms, and footage streams to connected devices for real-time viewing. As the camera lacks weatherproof sealing, it is intended for indoor use only.

The camera can be placed on a table or mounted to the ceiling. It is powered by a 9V DC adapter, which requires a nearby mains outlet. A built-in microphone and speaker enable two-way audio, and motion detection triggers alerts when movement is detected within the frame. Users can manage settings and view feeds via the Android or iOS app. The device also integrates with Amazon Alexa and Google Assistant for voice-activated access on supported smart displays.

• Local storage support up to 128 GB via microSD: Saves weeks of video without requiring a cloud subscription.
• 15 frames per second recording rate: Captures motion while optimising file sizes on the memory card.
• H.264 video compression: Manages bandwidth usage during remote viewing.
• 128-bit AES encryption with SSL/TLS protocols: Secures the network connection and prevents unauthorised access to footage.
• Privacy mode: Allows users to temporarily halt recording and monitoring.
• Fixed 3.3 mm focal length with f/2 aperture: Maintains consistent focus and allows adequate light intake for the sensor.
