Product Features

2K QHD 4MP Video

The Tapo C225 captures video at up to 2560 × 1440 pixels, providing sharper and more detailed footage than standard Full HD 1080p cameras. This makes it easier to monitor people, pets, and activity around your home or office.

360° Pan and 149° Tilt Coverage

The motorized pan and tilt mechanism provides 360° horizontal coverage and 149° vertical coverage, allowing the camera to monitor a wide area while reducing blind spots.

Smart Motion Tracking

The camera can automatically track and follow moving subjects, keeping them within the field of view. Tapo specifies tracking speeds of up to 120° per second.

AI Person, Pet and Vehicle Detection

Intelligent AI detection can identify people, pets, and vehicles and provide notifications when relevant activity is detected. Additional detection capabilities include baby crying, barking, meowing, glass breaking, line crossing, and camera tampering.

Starlight Sensor for Low-Light Monitoring

The sensitive Starlight Sensor and F1.6 aperture help capture brighter and clearer images in low-light environments, making the C225 suitable for continuous indoor monitoring.

Customizable Night Vision

The camera provides infrared night vision up to approximately 9 metres. Its 940 nm invisible infrared mode can reduce visible red-light distractions, which is useful when monitoring sleeping children or pets.

Physical Privacy Protection

A dedicated privacy button allows the camera lens to physically turn into the housing, preventing the camera from capturing video when privacy is required.

Two-Way Audio

The built-in microphone and speaker enable two-way communication with noise cancellation, allowing you to communicate remotely with family members, visitors, or pets.

Local and Cloud Storage

Recorded footage can be stored locally using a microSD card with support for capacities up to 512 GB. Tapo Care cloud storage is also available through a subscription service.

Activity Zones and Line-Crossing Detection

Create specific activity zones and virtual lines to focus monitoring on important areas and receive notifications when activity occurs in designated locations.

Sound and Light Alarm

The camera can trigger sound and light alerts when motion is detected, providing an additional deterrent against unwanted activity.

Smart Home Compatibility

The Tapo C225 supports integration with Amazon Alexa, Google Assistant, and Apple HomeKit, allowing it to work with compatible smart home systems and voice assistants.
