Good
I bought this to keep eye on my dog in his dog crate bed while I had to go out and he couldn't come with me and it was good I could see him and talk to him.

Like a Daleks Eye- great bit of kit!
This is brilliant. It’s like having a Dalek’s eye watching over the house, and the dog! Can operate it through my mobile remotely too, and it’s a doddle to set up! What’s not to like, unless of course someone catches you doing d SF one thing you shouldn’t then it’s back to the shop for a refund!

Hi,
The Tapo C220 does not require a SIM card for setup. You need to connect it to a 2.4GHz Wi-Fi network to complete the configuration.
Thanks for using Q&A.
Hello there
I can advise the following for: Tapo C220 2K 4MP Pan/Tilt Wi-Fi AI Home Security Camera.
Yes, the Tapo C220 2K Pan/Tilt camera does make a faint mechanical humming or whirring noise when it is actively panning or tilting.
Thanks for using Q&A
Hey Katrina,
I can advise that this camera can be set to "Continuous Recording" and "Detection Recording" within the settings and will need a wi-fi connection in order to record.
Thanks for using Q&A.
Hello Jess,
Our supplier has advised that the Tapo C220 2K 4MP Pan/Tilt Wi-Fi AI Home Security Camera live view can time out and ask if you are still viewing. However this is not always the case.
Thank you for using Q&A
Hello Sweets
Tapo C220 2K 4MP Pan/Tilt Wi-Fi AI Home Security Camera
Yes — you can turn off night vision (IR LEDs) on the Tapo C220, which prevents the irritating reflection you'd get shooting through a window. Here's how:
Disable IR LEDs via App
Open the Tapo app and navigate to your C220's Live View.
Tap the status label at the top-right, which typically shows “Auto”.
Choose “Day Mode” to disable the IR LEDs.
This stops night vision and prevents IR reflection against the glass.
Trade-offs
No night vision when switched to Day Mode—so it won’t capture low-light scenes at night.
If kept in Auto Mode, the IR LEDs will activate, and glare through window glass will occur. Disabling night vision enough to avoid that requires manual switching.
Advanced Hardware Workaround (Tech-Savvy)
For those comfortable with tech tinkering (note: this voids warranty):
You can physically remove or disable the IR LEDs by opening the camera and desoldering or removing their PCB — a method described for the similar C110 model.
Recommendation
For most users, simply switching to Day Mode via the app is the safest and easiest way to avoid IR reflection through windows.
Thank you for using Q&A.
