It's a positive upgrade.
Tapo have upped their game with this camera. Up to 4K clarity which does make a difference. I have it positioned in a bedroom window and the field of view is brilliant The zoom plus clarity is brilliant. Am contemplating replacing my C230 with another on these.

Great features.
I bought this camera to keep an eye on my dog and it is a great camera especially the night vision it is so clear. I have bought cheap cameras before but in my opinion it is worth paying that bit extra.

Good upgrade to older model.
Brought this because it has a higher resolution and can read number plates amongst other advantages such as a pet & package detection which has been very useful along with the night vision.

4k internal camera
Bought a few weeks ago . camera picture is very good,but if used inside window looking out you get a reflection off the white body of the camera, had to resort to spraying the body matt black after masking off main lens,this sorted problem of reflection.pan ,tilt are very quiet compared to other models in the range.you also need a high speed u3 sd card for smooth operation. Overall very good for money,but tapo should be selling this camera in black or make a black shell to cover it.

Nice camera good image quality.
Good quality image, easy to set up. Pity the up/down is limited to about 110 degrees whereas Left and right is nealry 360. The mounting bracket is good but the way you push the camera in to the lugs is pretty poor and can snap, a proper tripod screw mount would be better. hence only 4 stars

Good Buy
It fits a market place where i struggled to find a quality 5GHz camera, and this fits the bill perfectly.

Great indoor camera
Fab little camera in 4k, great clear images and easy to set up on the Tapo app. Power cable is a decent length, but would be even better if it had a wireless option too. I’m using it as a baby monitor and it has AI to detect and alert you on your phone of baby crying which works well. It comes with a wall mount and can also be placed freestanding on a flat surface, which is what I have currently done. Does not come with an SD card, but otherwise has everything else you need. Overall it’s a very good indoor camera and I would recommend it.

Great, Easy Camera
This is a fabulous little camera. So easy to set up, great instructions and easy to follow. Quality of the camera is perfect, good view and again easy to use. Gives plenty of angles to see exactly what you need to. I would recommend this camera.

Tapo
I'd currently got a basic tapo device for my daughter's room to use like a monitor. So I could keep tabs on her wake ups during the night due to being additional needs. I wanted another for the living room as she had a habit of getting up very early. This camera is an upgrade on my existing one and wow. The picture quality is great (far cry from those awful CCTV clips they show trying to catch criminals. They'd be better using one of these!) it also has AI which builds up a collection of faces it sees regularly and learns who's who (once you start labeling stills it gives you) I'm pretty sure it can distiguish vehicles and pets too. But we don't have a need for this so can't be certain. Requires an additional memory card to record footage. Or pay for the cloud with Tapo. I find this great being able to look on the app for time stamps and downloading clips of needed. You can have a two way speak through the app and camera. Or you can listen if on the app. Tapo app is easy to set up and use. So many features on that. Notifications to moments picked up by the camera.

A good piece of kit
A great piece of equipment that is 4K and has a great tilt feature. Does exactly what it needs to do. It should be noted however that a separate SD card needs to be bought for storage. There are also some pixelation issues at some points when you try to zoom in.

Hi Sweets.
Tapo C260 4K 8MP Pan/Tilt AI Home Security Wi-Fi Camera can see clearly even in low-light conditions with advanced night vision that provides visibility up to 40 ft.
Thanks for using Q and A.
Yes and NO.
Any camera can work through a window but there are a lot of limits based on the angle of the camera to the window glass, the light levels internally that can bounce back into the camera blocking or obliterating any image you hope to capture.
Then theres outside light issues, such as sunshine hitting the window that can cause sunburst to the image, low light that then means all you capture is a reflection of the camera its self, dirt on the window that can block any image, etc...!
