TP-Link Tapo C100 1080p Home Security Wi-Fi Camera
The TP-Link Tapo C100 is a 1080p Wi-Fi security camera designed for parents, pet owners and anyone who needs to monitor their home remotely. It combines invisible night vision, AI-powered motion detection and two-way audio in a compact form factor that works over your existing 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi network.
Why this product
1080p video with 117° wide view
Captures sharp, clear footage across most of a room at 1920×1080 resolution with a diagonal field of view wide enough to cover typical indoor spaces.
Invisible night vision to 40 feet
850 nm infrared LEDs let you see in complete darkness without visible red lights—useful for nurseries and bedrooms where visible light would disturb sleep.
AI-powered person detection
Distinguishes people from pets and other motion, so you receive alerts only for what matters and not every shadow or moving curtain.
Baby crying alerts and two-way talk
Built-in microphone and speaker let you respond immediately, and a dedicated sound detection mode alerts you when a baby cries.
Local or cloud storage options
Record to a microSD card (up to 512 GB) for offline storage, or use Tapo Care cloud services if you prefer automatic backup.
Privacy zones and pause recording
Block sensitive areas from view entirely, and pause recording at any time through the Tapo app.

Trade-offs
- Outdoor use: Camera is designed for indoor mounting only and lacks weatherproofing.
- 5 GHz Wi-Fi networks: This device connects only to 2.4 GHz bands.
- Low-light areas below 0°C: Operating temperature range is 0–40°C; operation below freezing is not supported.
- Very large spaces: Night vision extends to 40 feet and the 117° field of view may not cover entire warehouses or wide-open areas.
Stay Connected to What Matters Most: Monitor children, pets, and important moments at home from wherever you are.
Naptime-Friendly Night Vision: Invisible night vision keeps an eye on your sleeping baby without the distraction of visible red lights, while baby crying alerts notify you when your attention is needed.
Smarter Alerts, Fewer Distractions: AI-powered detection identifies people that come into frame, reducing unnecessary notifications from irrelevant activity.
Keep Private Moments Private: Pause recording anytime and set up custom privacy zones in the Tapo app to keep sensitive areas out of view and blocked from monitoring.
Record all of life's wonderful moments with the realistic 1080p Full High Definition. Zoom to see the sharp views.
Embedded with advanced night vision and baby crying detection, the Tapo Cam reinforces your baby care around the clock.
Control what alerts you receive by creating multiple custom activity zones around areas that matter.
Use crisp two-way audio to communicate with nosy roommates, family, or even mischievous pets.
Set customizable block zones to keep certain spaces from being recorded so you never need to worry about personal moments being leaked. Filter out any personal spaces, like your bed, and only record areas that require monitoring such as doorways and windows to ensure your privacy remains just that—private.
Save recorded video on a microSD Card† (up to 512 GB) or by using Tapo Care‡ cloud storage services.
