    Maybe dumb question, but how would this fare as cheap baby monitor?

      I think it will work well. Has speakers and a microphone, what else do you need?

      • expatOz on 30/05/2023 - 15:18

        Works but both mic and speakers are crap. AI recognition is crap too.

        I bought it for the price. Regret not buying Eufy Indoor Cam

    • impoze on 30/05/2023 - 12:34

      that's what I used it for

      works great

      • Gumbootboy on 30/05/2023 - 16:56

        Does it have visible red lights at night,

        • jastreb on 30/05/2023 - 17:01

          There is a status "power on" led which you can turn off via the app

          • Gumbootboy on 30/05/2023 - 19:20

            @jastreb: I was more meaning the night vision, a lot of 'webcams' have visible red lights, whereas baby monitors seem to have them well hidden or use a more expensive tyoe that you dont see.

            • jastreb on 30/05/2023 - 20:14
              +2

              @Gumbootboy: ok I see. I believe there is like 2 red leds behind a dark tinted cover. Have not noticed them to be honest when walking past the cameras in the dark so I don't think they are very obtrusive. I moved them to my dads house last week so I can remotely monitor their place while they are overseas or I would have checked it our for a more sure answer for you.

    • paaj on 30/05/2023 - 12:35

      Not as a primary monitor unless you have a tablet with the app open all the time. But you could pick up a cheap audio monitor from gumtree and pair with this for video.

      • impoze on 30/05/2023 - 12:46

      Works great. Would recommend.

    • Excelsior on 30/05/2023 - 13:39

      I'm using the Xiaomi 360 camera as a baby monitor, which is basically same thing as this.

      Works well overall, but caveats are:
      a) You need the app to be open at all times if you want constant live streaming
      b) Internet connection needs to be stable, otherwise live feed errors/disconnections are bound to happen (due to drop outs etc)

      For me it's more the 2nd point that has been an issue since we've experienced a few drop outs in the middle of the night, so the live feed wasn't working until we got up to check and reconnect (we use it to monitor our son overnight who sleeps in a separate room).

      Personally I'm thinking of replacing mine and just go with a dedicated baby monitor that works straight out the box without an active internet connection.

      Not an issue if you don't need constant live streaming or you could just get a separate audio monitor, but my preference is an all-in-one solution.

      • jjj123 on 30/05/2023 - 14:25

        tp-link Au version won't have the drop out issue.

    • Mokr on 30/05/2023 - 13:48

      If your WiFi dies it won't work.

    • fatgypo on 30/05/2023 - 13:55

      Excellent. The best way to use it which bypasses internet and app issues is a live feed to vlc using and old laptop

    • jjj123 on 30/05/2023 - 14:24

      better than the baby monitor, night vision on tplink is awesome

    • kohie on 30/05/2023 - 14:55
      +1

      it actually has baby crying detection in the TP-link software. Haven't tried it out, but will get one as a baby monitor as the price seems very reasonable. The only issue to consider is if the internet goes out. A lot of people opt for 'offline' baby monitors for this reason.

      • frazel on 30/05/2023 - 18:44

        I think you need to pay for the subscription for that

        • nokia3660 on 30/05/2023 - 21:57
          +1

          nah, baby crying detection is free. Cloud backup, rich notification and few other things needs subscription.

      • nokia3660 on 30/05/2023 - 21:58

        I haven't tried this personally, but the camera can do RTSP. If you have a 3rd party app (eg. VLC) I am sure you should be able to view the feed over your intranet without the need for internet.

        • kohie on 30/05/2023 - 22:23

          I just tried this as I have 2 other C210's already. Seems to be a bit of an issue as it streams for about 2 secs before it freezes on the same frame. Not sure if I've got my settings right or not.

          • nokia3660 on 30/05/2023 - 22:43
            +1

            @kohie: weird. I do remember now that when I was originally setting this up pihole had blocked one of the tapo urls and the camera was not able to go online or something. It would still show the feed on the tapo app on my phone but the camera would show a solid amber light which meant it is connected to wifi but not online.

            Not sure if this is the same as no internet but thought it might come in handy

    • Catsfan070911 on 30/05/2023 - 15:02

      Have been using one for first 10 months and has been great :)

    • Some Human on 30/05/2023 - 15:14

      I use it to see what my cats are doing while I'm out and to keep an eye on the fire. Great unit for <$45

      • m9 on 30/05/2023 - 15:38

        keep an eye on the fire

        Why not just put it out?

    • Savealopoulos on 30/05/2023 - 16:09

      Very very well. These are phenomenal for the price.

    • caitsith01 on 30/05/2023 - 16:44

      Seems like it creates the problem of needing a device as the 'parent unit' the whole time?

    • frazel on 30/05/2023 - 18:43

      I use this exactly for this reason.

      Downside is the audio isnt the best, but picture quality is really good for the price. Its alao easy remote access when you have a baby sitter

    • nokia3660 on 30/05/2023 - 21:50
      +1

      Using it as one right now and does its job. As other's mentioned the audio / motion detection could be a hit and miss. It supports RTSP so you can use one of the many 3rd party apps to view the feed from your android tv or firestick as PiP (even VLC can do RTSP).

      One complaint is that its tilt down range is much smaller compared to tilt up. So if you plan on putting the camera right next to the baby's cot/bed the camera might not tilt all the way down to cover the area. You can alternatively try to mount it upside down and invert the image from within the app.

      There are a couple of red IR light when nigh vision is ON, had never bothered my bub though.

  • ULT on 30/05/2023 - 12:32

    Great price, but beware this variant comes with the UK plug.

    • ironworthy on 30/05/2023 - 12:41

      would a simple AU adapter work or does it need a converter of some sort

      • FutureTech on 30/05/2023 - 13:42

        Adaptor will work

      • ULT on 30/05/2023 - 13:43

        even a simple travel power adapter that that fits the UK plug which will then connect to our AU power point will be fine.

    TP-Link Tapo C210 can expose RTSP which is great if you have any mobile app that can view the stream (with other IP cams rather than using the TP-Link app)
    or using VLC in desktop to view the stream

    If you have setup Home Assistance the stream can be added into the dashboard
    If you have HA together with Apple TV the stream can even be added to HomeKit (Apple Home app)

    I have been using with synology surveillance station and it has been very stable

    • RaihaX on 30/05/2023 - 13:47

      Can even add as onvif camera to HomeKit via scrypted. If you want to leverage the two way audio.

    • Leho on 30/05/2023 - 14:57

      I have noticed the rtsp stream is quite slow compared to through the app. Might just be me idk 🤷‍♂️

        • Catsfan070911 on 30/05/2023 - 20:02

          Night mode uses infrared but it generates barely any visible light, just tiny dull LEDs, hasn’t been an issue for our baby

    • jonohaha on 30/05/2023 - 13:40

      I have this near my window so I can watch both inside my home and the backyard. Works pretty well so far, only downside is it picks up wind noise quite badly sometimes. Also the movement detection is quite sensitive, I initially turned it on to follow my dog around but all it did was focusing on tree branches.

    • revheadgl on 30/05/2023 - 14:50

      Been using one outdoors for over a year with no issues. It is however mounted on a wall under a porch, which is around 1200mm deep.from the front and about 1000mm in from the side.

    • Savealopoulos on 30/05/2023 - 16:11

      Not good if looking through a window into a back yard at night due to the glare from the cameras night light.

      • SearchAndSave on 30/05/2023 - 16:55

        Don't use Auto Mode. Switch the camera view to Day Mode, it'll be fine. BTW I can watch my place when sitting in a restaurant (using mobile data). I didn't know that it has remote viewing capacity. You need your Wi-Fi router to be on.

        • Savealopoulos on 30/05/2023 - 22:53

          day mode doesn't work well at night …

    • killergreely on 31/05/2023 - 08:27

      Had one outside for a couple of years. It's under the eaves and on the side of the house away from prevailing weather. It's been fine. I pulled it down once to clean the dust from body, as it was noisy rotating, been fine otherwise.
      If it's going to be exposed to rain and constant wind I'd go with the 225, they're not too bad a price if you have a Good Guys Commercial account.

  • FutureTech on 30/05/2023 - 13:43

      Not natively. I connected the camera to an NVR using ONVIF. As my NVR allowed connecting to an SFTP server, I had a local SFTP windows server running with the directory syncing to Box. Then I found a way to create an SFTP server on Oracle cloud free tier so decommissioned the local server.
