    Very useful camera - plug in a microSD card and you have a 24/7 recording camera with no subscription fees for cheap. We use one for a security camera and one for a baby monitor.
    Only annoyance is it's a barrel plug and not USB-C or MicroUSB like the old Kasa cameras.

    • shap08 on 20/06/2023 - 08:33

      Does it connect to the wifi and you can remote monitor for free?

        Yes & Yes.

        Yes and you can remote monitor using the App on your phone. I'm still trying to see if I can remote monitor via a browser somehow so I can do it anywhere without my phone, but not sure about that

        • theguyrules on 20/06/2023 - 08:52

          I haven't found a web portal - thankfully I use a Macbook Pro M1 which can run the app natively too. Although it crashes a bit on the Macbook.

        • allewell on 20/06/2023 - 09:10

          It has RTSP, so if you set a password in the app, you can use VLC to do rtsp://ip:port/stream1

          • impoze on 20/06/2023 - 10:37

            @allewell: yeah, also works with home assistant integration or RTSP frigate etc

      • sludo on 20/06/2023 - 11:17

        even better than this you can use RTSP with zoneminder and get AI detection for (dogs cars people etc) free and store all your data in your own free AWS cloud instance with these cameras if you're a bit tech savvy https://zoneminder.com/features/

      With the microSD, can you playback through the app?

      • theguyrules on 20/06/2023 - 09:04

        yep and its pretty responsive too.

      • samsta7866 on 20/06/2023 - 10:13

        yes, you can have it record motion only too.

    • CacheHunter on 20/06/2023 - 09:05

      How do you find it as a baby monitor? Will it send an alert when it detects noise/crying etc?

      • nokia3660 on 20/06/2023 - 09:13

        yep it does, but personally I have the detection turned off

      • samsta7866 on 20/06/2023 - 10:14

        works perfectly fine

      • impoze on 20/06/2023 - 10:34

        also use it as a baby monitor and works perfectly fine

        I even brought it for a few trips to set up in hotel with a portable router

    • allewell on 20/06/2023 - 09:09

      And that you need their app to configure it - no web UI

    • teereb on 20/06/2023 - 09:29

      Just bought the c225, for a baby monitor,$95 at JB.

      I went for the slightly more expensive one, not just higher Res camera, but a night light specific for close range as well.

      But was very close to getting this camera. Love it so far.

    • FoxJump on 20/06/2023 - 11:17

      I used something like this on my c200

    Just got this camera too and its really good. Horizontal/Vertical panning can be a big slow if you're doing it manually using the trackpad on the app but other than that, no gripes at all really.

    • adinico on 20/06/2023 - 08:42

      You can change the number of degrees it moves per pan input, to speed it up.
      Also saving commonly used positions is handy and it moves very quickly between them.

  • luke420 on 20/06/2023 - 08:41

    This was posted a couple of weeks ago and people suggested it would be good to use as a baby monitor so I bought one for that use. Unfortunately when I lock my iPhone, the audio from the camera stops so the only way to use it as a baby monitor is to constantly have your phone unlocked with the screen on which is pretty annoying at night and inefficient

    • theguyrules on 20/06/2023 - 08:54

      That is correct, but we used this as a baby monitor since birth and found we didn't need to constantly hear the baby, because he was either in our room where we will wake up when he cries, or in his room which is close enough for us to hear anyway.

    • jdawgydawggy on 20/06/2023 - 10:13

      One option would be to use it in conjunction with an audio-only baby monitor?

      and it's been our baby monitor for 3 years now.

      and i set the volume of the tablet appropriately

  • prankster on 20/06/2023 - 09:10

    Ah bloody hell i bought the c200 last month for $59 too 😭

    • Trishool on 20/06/2023 - 09:55

      Bought 3 of the C200's back in October. Was curious what the difference is between the two models.

      • KaTst3R on 20/06/2023 - 10:04
        +1

        Slightly higher resolution (1080p vs 2K) and can use 256gb card. The difference is very marginal.

        • prankster on 20/06/2023 - 12:26

          wishing these cameras would have 4K and for the night time it shows better quality too

          • KaTst3R on 20/06/2023 - 14:52
            +1

            @prankster: 4K bandwidth is probably too much. You need a solid 25mbps to stream this and you will need a big sdcard to store even store a days worth of data. 1 minute of 4K video will take a couple of hundred MB. A 64gb card will fill up in less than 10 hours.

            2K is a middle ground compromise.

            • prankster on 20/06/2023 - 15:13

              @KaTst3R: ah gotcha, i just have 64GB cards for the C200 i have and i've just put this in the baby/toddler room and continuous record from 7pm to 7am just so i can see what happens if anything lol but yeah its on continuous loop/record and with the C200 its only utilising 1080p

        • Trishool on 21/06/2023 - 09:12

          Ok thanks for that.

    • digitalbath on 20/06/2023 - 10:06

      I bought the c200 last week for that price. Im going to return it and buy this one instead.

      • prankster on 20/06/2023 - 12:25

        you buy it from amazon? if so how easy is the return process?

        i can't return mine, i've already 3M it and put it in the kids room lol

        • digitalbath on 20/06/2023 - 12:49

          I initiated the return. Just put my reason as “not satisfied”. I did choose account credit to make it less annoying to them. They approved it, just need to send it back.

          • prankster on 20/06/2023 - 14:07

            @digitalbath: how does the sending back work? they send you a box to put the camera back in and you go to post office to drop off?

  • nokia3660 on 20/06/2023 - 09:15

    Do note that the tilt down range is much lower compared to tilt up. So if you place the camera closer to the baby then you might have trouble tilting down to cover the entire area. Alternatively you could mount the camera upside down and invert the picture.

    • eraser215 on 20/06/2023 - 09:24

      I have the equivalent Eufy which is much more expensive, which has the same range issue you describe. These cameras are kinda intended to be mounted upside down, and you can get 3d printed stands to mount them in via Thingiverse. Some people have monetised this via ebay/etsy etc.

    Could be a proper replacement vs my Dafang!

  • burningrage on 20/06/2023 - 09:34

    Thank you OP. Out of topic, what do you think about the outdoor equivalent? C320?

    • Vater Woods on 20/06/2023 - 09:54

      C320 is fixed, no panning. Is also older, c210 is newer

    • Twirlypiglet on 20/06/2023 - 10:05

      I have the C320ws and the quality is terrific. Night vision is really good too, especially if used in conjunction with a spotlight/solar LED sensor light.

      • burningrage on 20/06/2023 - 10:51

        C320ws can accept 256gb of SD storage vs 128gb for C210.

        But yes, thanks @Vater Woods, because I didn't realize it doesn't pan. Damn.

      • burningrage on 20/06/2023 - 10:53

        @Twirlypiglet, What's the product ID for Spotlight/Solar LED Sensor light? It sounds like a good addition to this. I am fairly new with this sort of thing.

        Thanks for your review.

      • Vater Woods on 20/06/2023 - 12:17

        I also have C320WS + the $40 LED sensor light from bunnings.

        But I believe C210 and C320WS both are 2k quality and both accept 256GB Micro sd card.

        • burningrage on 20/06/2023 - 12:39

          Sorry sorry I am confusing everyone.

          What I meant is the outdoor equivalent of C210 is C320.

          Previously there is C310, which according to this page can only accept 128gb. https://www.tp-link.com/au/home-networking/cloud-camera/tapo…

          I don't know how we ended up talking about C210 lol.

          So yes, C320ws can take 256gb. I think that's the model I could get for my outdoor cam. My Swann cam is crap.

    I am wondering if I can use this as a cheap camera to watch my 3D prints (rather than eg building an octoprint setup even though I know that gives a lot more functionality). Sounds like it will stream off my WIFI out of the box which is good. Has anyone done similar?

    I was looking at the specs on the Amazon site and it has "Batteries ‎1 Lithium Ion batteries required." but also has
    "Power Source ‎Corded Electric
    Voltage ‎220 Volts
    Wattage ‎5 watts"

    So does it need permanent 240V, or do you recharge the battery every so often?

  • KaTst3R on 20/06/2023 - 10:09

    I was deciding between TP link vs Xiaomi C300 as an internal home security camera. The one deciding factor that which made me buy a Xiaomi C300 is free rolling 7 day cloud storage for any movement detection 10 second clips which could come in handy if the entire camera and sdcard are removed in a house break in.

    Other than that, I only risk President Xi has videos of me butt naked walking around my living hall. But every security cam has that risk of being hacked anyway.

    • binjoep on 20/06/2023 - 12:22

      How do you like the app experience with C300?

      • KaTst3R on 20/06/2023 - 15:03

        It uses the Xiaomi Home app which is also used for my Robovac so im kinda into the ecosystem already.

        Pretty solid so far. Setup was super easy. Just scan QR code and lets go. I never had any drop outs, no crashing etc. There are tons of customisation option for the camera like what sort of motion detection, night mode, recording routine, etc. Streaming is very smooth, I could easily take a look live or historical video at work. I could also use the app to communicate with family members who are near the camera at home so that is a plus. The app is nothing fancy, it works as intended.

        The only downside is that i get tons of notification for my living room camera whenever i walk past it, there is a 30min wait time before next trigger. You can shut it off during certain time of the day but im lazy to customise.
