Great features!!
I bought this camera to keep an eye on my cats while I was out or away overnight. I cannot believe how good it is and how easy it was to set up with my Tapo app. And the price was excellent. I highly recommend this to any cat or dog owner.

easy to use
bought to be able to see how the dog is when we are out, she's a rescue and not used to being left on her own for too long mainly because there is always someone at home. It was quite easy to set up, the movement alert is good but can be annoying if too much movement so silent is a good option. Picture quality is quite good

Hey Rio,
I can advise that the Tapo C100 is a wireless Wi-Fi camera for data transfer (streaming video), but it is not battery-powered; it is a corded electric camera that needs to be plugged into a power outlet to function, making it a "wireless" device in terms of connection, not power.
Thanks for using Q&A.

Troubleshooting the Tapo C100 1080P Wi-Fi Indoor Security Camera
If your Tapo C100 1080P Wi-Fi Indoor Security Camera is not connecting to WiFi, even after a reset, here are some troubleshooting steps you can try:
Check the MAC Address: Ensure the MAC address of your Tapo camera is correct and not already connected to another network.
Remove and Reconfigure: Remove the Tapo C100 from the Tapo app, reset it, and then reconfigure it to connect to your network.
LED Status: Check the LED status on the camera when starting the configuration process. It should be flashing green and red.
Hotspot Wi-Fi: Enable a hotspot Wi-Fi on your phone, reset the camera, and reconfigure it with a different phone to see if it connects successfully.
If these steps do not resolve the issue, consider reaching out to TP-Link support for further assistance.
Thank you.
Hi, Pat
I can advise that the Tapo C100 1080P Wi-Fi Indoor Security Camera can be wall-mounted.
Thanks for using Q&A.
Hello,
Yes, the Tapo C100 can record motion through a window during the daytime because its motion detection relies on changes in pixels. However, there are some limitations:
Daytime Performance
Functional: The camera can detect motion through glass and send notifications.
Customizable Zones: You can set specific motion detection zones within the Tapo app to avoid recording irrelevant movement like passers-by on a public street.
Nighttime Limitations
The main issue arises at night due to the camera's infrared (IR) night vision:
Reflection/Glare: The infrared LEDs will reflect off the glass, resulting in a blurry or completely white, unclear image that hinders effective motion detection.
PIR Sensor (If applicable): While the C100 primarily uses pixel-based motion detection, some cameras use Passive Infrared (PIR) sensors which do not work through glass because glass blocks the heat signals they detect. The pixel-based detection still works, but the IR glare at night makes the image unusable.
These resources explain how pixel-based motion detection and IR night vision affect recording through windows:
Have a nice day!
Hello,
Tapo C100 1080P WI-FI Indoor Security Camera,
The TP-Link Tapo C100 1080P Wi-Fi Indoor Security Camera requires a 9V DC power supply with a 0.6A current rating and a 5.5×2.1mm plug connector. This power connection allows the camera to operate effectively within a temperature range of 0-40°C and humidity levels of 10-90% RH.
I hope this helps,
Thank you for using Argos Q&A
