Great review. 1) Could these be mounted inside behind a window and still detect movement outside? 2) Without connecting to 3rd Parties like Amazon, will it send instant notification/footage to a phone app? 3) Can you deactivate some cameras when I'm at home to conserve battery life?
Can you also review the Tapo C125 which I believe is Best Buy exclusive. Right now the price point (both on sale) is about $15 difference between the two. I believe the C125 has wider FOV and more AI features than the C120. However, the C120 has starlight sensors so it would be interesting to compare the two.
I just purchased the "C125" from BB. Could not set up the camera for the life of me. Turns out it's a C120 (marked on the camera itself and set up for the C120 in the app and it worked perfectly) even though the box clearly states "C125". Looking up the differences I prefer the 120 but not paying the extra price. Cant even find the C120 on BB website. Paid $60 for the supposed C125. Amazon has the C120 for $35 right now. Hopefully BB will price match or something.
I have a bunch of TP-link Kasa cameras. Do you know if TP-Link phasing out the Kasa cameras? What are the differences between Kasa and Tapo? Thanks for sharing.
Hey man, can you do me a favor? I got 2 xiaomi aw200 and both have a bug, if you turn out to don't have internet for some time the cameras get a bug that will never reconnect to the router.. Already had to reset by hand 3 times and without internet for like 30 minutes they will stop record and bug on that way and you can't even access them without internet.. Can you test this out on the tapo? Unplug internet cable on your router and try to access live view of course being connected to the router not data plan and see if turning off internet or router if the cameras get confused and got the same bug of don't reconnect to the router? Thank you very much!
Have been testing this camera for a week now, great features I really wanted to like it - unfortunately for me it keeps disconnecting and freezing (which defeats its sole purpose)its outside my front door about 25 feet from my wireless access point - its packaged up and ready to be returned to amazon today after i get off work...disappointed to say the least Reply

Much better than anything Wyze makes!
Agreed!

How does it perform when it is placed flush to the window looking out. Specially at night with night vision.
Do u think I can run this camera using a 20K mAh powerbank ? For how long ? Thanks.
best camera 5 star
Love the magnetic attachment. The way Arlo used to be.
Yea, it's nice. Makes it easy to place in key areas.
Is there a cooldown time in notifications like Wyze cams?
No

question for anyone- if you don't have cloud storage, video clips will still get stored on the phone app? is that correct?
If you have an SD Card inserted in it yes
Inserted in the actual camera (if I'm wrong somebody correct me)
Very well done thanks

Thanks for the video but, what app is that, how does it connect, is it wifi? lots of missing info here.
All of that info is in the video
Do you need a base for this camera?
No, it connects directly to WiFi.
Does this version work with apple home kit
Yes it does.
Sorry but what SD card does it use Tapo doesn’t say this card looking at slot is small
Micro sd card up to 512 gb
Sorry this camera has to sit on top of the router if not its junk
The security alarm is a joke, my alarm clock is louder!
U can set up and make it extremly loud
A bit of ghosting...? more like MAJOR Ghosting.
FYI: The link for the C120 does not work for me. Just a generic Amazon page.
It should be working now.
@@SteveDOES Yes it is now.
Night shot is crap compared to Wyze 4
Man arlo is Ixpesiv
Those microphones are dreadful
Why you look like a ghost when the spotlight is on???
