Questions about TP-Link Tapo C220 4MP 360° WLAN camera MicroSD

The exact storage space consumption of a microSD card during continuous recording with the Tapo C220 depends on the quality of the recordings and the compression. In general, however, it can be assumed that a 4MP recording over 12 hours could consume around 20 to 40 GB of storage space, depending on the compression and the actual recording quality.

The Tapo C220 camera does not natively support RTSP and ONVIF protocols. Some users have reported difficulties using these protocols with this particular model. For more information, please consult the official TP-Link support or the community forum for updates or alternative solutions.

You can control and monitor multiple Tapo cameras simultaneously in the Tapo app. There is no quantitative limit to the number of cameras that can be managed from one account. In addition to cloud storage, you can also use an SD card to store local recordings. This is optional, but it offers additional flexibility when storing your data.

The motion sensor on this camera is designed to detect movement within its field of view, but it may not work effectively if the camera is placed behind a window. This is because the motion sensor typically relies on detecting changes in the environment, which can be obstructed by glass. For optimal performance, the camera should be positioned to have a clear line of sight to the area you want to monitor. If you need to monitor outside, consider placing the camera outside or using a different setup that allows for unobstructed detection.

They do not support encryption method WPA/WPA2-enterprise.
