Description

The Tapo C201 is a compact indoor Wi-Fi security camera designed to provide flexible monitoring throughout the home. It uses a 1/3 inch Progressive Scan CMOS image sensor and a 4.0 mm lens with an aperture of 2.0 to capture 1080p Full HD video at a maximum frame rate of 30 fps.

Motorized pan and tilt movement allows the camera to cover a wide area. The pan mechanism provides 340 degrees of mechanical movement with 360 degree pan coverage, while the tilt mechanism provides 70 degrees of mechanical movement with 110.8 degree tilt coverage. This makes the camera suitable for monitoring larger indoor areas from a single position.

For low-light monitoring, the Tapo C201 uses an 850 nm infrared LED system with night vision up to 12 m. Motion detection, person detection and baby crying detection can help identify activity that may require attention. Motion tracking can follow detected movement and help keep the subject within the camera view.

The built-in microphone and speaker provide two-way audio with noise cancellation, allowing users to communicate through the camera. The camera also includes a 93 dB siren measured at a distance of 10 cm. The Tapo app provides access to live viewing, camera controls and privacy functions.

For recording, the Tapo C201 includes a microSD card slot supporting cards up to 512 GB. It also supports Tapo Care cloud storage services, which require a subscription. RTSP and ONVIF support provides compatibility with supported network video applications and systems.

Privacy features include Privacy Mode and customizable privacy zones. The camera supports 2.4 GHz 802.11b/g/n Wi-Fi and uses 128-bit AES encryption with SSL/TLS and WPA/WPA2-PSK security. It can be installed on a tabletop or ceiling-mounted using the included mounting hardware.
