Thank you so much for a truly excellent guide to installing the C500. It helped tremendously as I installed 2 to the front and rear of my property. I think the cameras are really excellent with 2 reservations. I installed one in a location with wifi strength of 60dB. The response time was ridiculously slow even though the wifi strength was categorised as "good". I was worried that the camera was faulty as the first camera was fine first off. A Tapo wifi range extender solved the problem with wifi strength in mid 40's. The second reservation is the night sensitivity which is so good that rain activates the motion detector and occasionally the person detector, so I need to play around with the settings on wet nights, which are frequent in Ireland. Again thanks for posting a thorough and really excellent video.
Thank you so much for taking our time and writing a detailed comment about your experience with the camera. It’s going to help a lot of people clear their potential doubts.
What an excellent video. Quite a help it was!
Thank you and greetings from Portugal.
Welcome 🤗
I just bought one of these and whilst there are some excellent features I found the motion tracking and zones to not work well. Motion detection is so sensitive that rain and small twigs set it off, even on the lowest settings, so motion tracking means that the camera is often pointing in the wrong direction. The first night it rained my camera was pointed at a wall for most of the night. I have tried setting zones, although it isn't clear how these work on a camera that can track, but it still spots the tiniest movement, even in areas it is supposed to ignore. In the end I turned off motion tracking and gave up. It still does what I wanted, but it is disappointing that it doesn't motion track well as this could have been a real deterrent for anyone coming near my house.
Wow, this looks like a very good camera for its price. Thanks for a very good review.
Welcome 🤗
Great video, nice work!
Thanks man 👨
@@tanzTalkstech can you set up a schedule for the camera to move to certain marks at different times in the day?
Great video, very helpful
Thank you 🙏
Thank you so much...your a star that's knows what they are talking about. Thanks again I'm a happy women now its set up.
Glad to help 😃
Bro excellent work 👍
Thank you so much 😀
Thanks and great review. Could it stand on a table with the included stand, or does it need to be secured with the screws? I would like to be able to move around occasionaly,,,
I believe it can be kept on table but that won’t be a good idea. It won’t be firm and might shake on being touched. And also the orientation of video will be upside down.
It’s an outdoor camera after all. Go for something like C210 which is an indoor camera with tilt-pan and motion detection.
Hi,
Can we view our tapo c500cam on our smart tv. How to set it?
I have an Airbnb where the C500 security camera is installed at main entrance. It was working perfectly for many days until it suddenly went black screen, then went disabled, to then offline during an Airbnb guests stay. Is there anyway I can know the cause of this ? Also how do I get it back up and running without the probability of someone possibly disabling it again? Thank you for any help.
Great efforts while covering the minute details in your video 👌🏻
Thank you 😊
Is there all time rotating feature?
Because if a person come from back side it is not recognising
Nope. It can be done manually only. Camera will rotate once and then stop. But no auto rotate feature available.
I think there's auto rotate patrol mode now ?
Which bullet camera do u have ?what does reboot do? Nice info video, thanks
I have Tapo C310 Bullet Camera. Reboot is a simple restart of the camera.
Than,k you for explaining the whole camera feature of the camera but if I need to find out more how can I do it and can you tell me it I pull the plug on the camera have igot Togo through the set up again pleas
Sorry but I didn’t understand your question
If you switch the electricity off it just comes back on again - no adjustment needed
Bro, thanks a lot for detailed video. If already marked a position and if the EB power is disconnected and comming back, will the camera return to that mark posistion precisely? Have you checked this?
Oh yeah the camera returns back to the set position every time it restarts.
@@tanzTalkstech Thanks a lot for your quick response 👍
Hi, how far away can the microphone work? I need to install it 2 metres away from the gate, can the microphone pick up the sound of the person talking to the camera ? Thanks
I tested up to 4meters. The voice is clear and audible in the camera if the speaker speaks clear and loud.
👌💙
Good morning. Please toy you know if someone can recordong to a naz with Tp-link Tapo C500 camera? Thank you.
Naz? What’s that?
Does this camera can connect to the youtube live?
Why don’t you give it a try and let us know if it does 😃
How do i turn the device off? There is no power on/off button. Do I just unplug it?
Just unplug it or turn off the power switch
anyone know how set motion tracking to ignore the ceiling fan?
You try to adjust tilt degree in setting I guess
Bro does it record when power is gone how to see what happened when power is gone is there any backup when power is gone
You can connect your camera to inverter or a portable ups to keep it on all the time.
If we dont have ups, does it shut off during power off?
Yes, it will turn off. Keep it connected to Home UPS or buy a mini UPS for Camera.
Does it have Colour night vision? Thanks.
No
Does it work with sim card internet is there any sim card slots in it plzz reply bro
There’s no sim slot in the camera. You’ll have to use a wifi hotspot.
Omg, the screws in the microSD slot are horrible! So difficult the open and close! Maybe they want us to buy their cloud service! 😅
Can you cut the big wlan wire if you only need wifi,?
yes
Does it have the option to overwrite the memory card automatically?
It keeps overwriting the memory in First-In-Last-Out order, i.e. overwriting the oldest recordings with the new recording.
It's called loop recording and you can enable or disable it.
how can this camera be classes as wireless if its got to be plugged into power
Because you don’t need the Ethernet/LAN cable to connect the camera to Internet.
@@tanzTalkstech
Thanks for reply
if i get 3 of these can i just plug all 3 in different locations and link them to one app, is there a model thats wireless that you canncharge up similar to a ring doorbell?
Local cloud storage supported?
Nope
does it have a zoom function
You can pinch in to zoom in the video or the live feed. But can’t zoom and record a particular view. Camera will continue recording its live view.
@tanztalkstech Can we access the camera any location of world
Yeah you can
@@tanzTalkstech Thanks for the quick response
@Abhi-lv3pw welcome 🙏
What bothers me about this camera is that it only captures 15 pictures per second, so the video isn't smooth. ??? Is there a delay in recording a video clip after detecting motion ?? that will prevent me from watching the entire motion from the start?
15 fps is sufficient for a security camera. Video clips are as smooth as they should be given the price of camera.
There’s no delay in recording of videos after motion detection.
Tp link c540W already installed
Happy for you
I use samsung Memory card error comes every 3 days for format
Which memory card perfect for this camera
Can’t say which is the best, but I can suggest you to go for SanDisk which I’m using. It’s been over a year and haven’t faced any issue so far. I have SanDisk 256GB in two cameras.
Check it out and go through the reviews. Hope it might help:
SanDisk 256GB High Endurance Video microSDXC Card with Adapter for Dash Cam and Home Monitoring Surveillance Systems - C10, U3, V30, 4K UHD, Micro SD Card - SDSQQNR-256G-GN6IA amzn.eu/d/iJfz8CE
@@tanzTalkstech thanks
Is this better than c310?
It depends on what you are looking for. C310 is a bullet camera and the view cannot be changed remotely. Whereas C500 is a tilt and pan type camera. Both are good.
my comment is 100th ,
My question is 64gb memory card can store continuous recording of 3 to 4 day ?
I have a 128 GB Card and it records for upto 40 days. So 64 GB should record for upto 2-3 weeks. But it depends on the amount of recording your camera is doing. My camera is set to record only on motion and there are stray dogs which roam around my home all the time. So you can take idea from there.
@@tanzTalkstech Why do you not use continuous recording , is doing continuous recording impact negatively on camera life
It’s pointless to have continuous recording. Why do you wanna record if no motion is taking place?
Let’s say some even occurred in front of your camera last week. Would you like to go through entire video footage of a week? It’s time consuming.
If your camera is capturing only the motions then it’s very easy to go through the events that occurred infront of camera.
But anyways, that’s for me. If you wish to keep it on continuous recording, you can do that. Your camera will continuously write on the memory card which will reduce its lifespan. There’s always a wear and tear with electronic items which depends on the usage. The more the usage the more wear tear.
Motion tracking goes out of view . Not coming back automatically in set view..😢
Yeah it doesn’t. It doesn’t return to the set view after tracking motion.
Why would saved videos lagging behind
I don’t understand your question
@@tanzTalkstech it didn't happen to your camera.
For me when there's event detected like someone walked infront of the camera, the playback videos lag meaning don't run as should be
Check if you have a high speed Class 10 memory card, and make sure internet speed is good at the spot where camera is installed. Then reset your camera and check if it fixes your problem.
@@tanzTalkstech tried all of that but still happen,
I saw 2 reviews on RUclips and both having the same issue.
Bro it work finely when my mobile connected to same wifi network but when i am away and tried to live view the camera from mobile data in mobile app it doesnt show and tell me to lower the quality even after quality is low it doesnt show any video Why?
Update the app and check if there’s any firmware update available for the camera.
If the problem still persists, it’s likely because of the speed of the internet connection.
The camera may rotate 360 degree continuosly or it may operate through mobile.
You can operate rotation through your phone.
Or the Camera will rotate and trace any motion if you have turned on Motion Tracking feature.
@@tanzTalkstechyou mean the camera will automatically rotate 360° ? If there is no motion also
@sheikm1938 it will rotate only when it detects motion , else it will be in standard position ... one issue I find is when the person has passed thru the detection window, camera doesn't come back to standard person unless any motion detected again , have to tilt to original position thru app
No ethernet port? 😢
Nope. Not in this model.
@@tanzTalkstech Which model supports ethernet port? Is it the C520WS?
Yes. It does.
@@tanzTalkstech Does the C520WS already support PoE? Or can you use a poe splitter?
There is currently no POE-supported model in Tapo camera.
Toooooo long. Had to superfastforrward through it to see if it did what I need it to do, and that is access the video feed through LAN connecting directly to it via a web browser. No installs not nonsens - just a quick and simple check on what it sees. I hate to be bound down to using an app on a spesific device and a poxy *spit* cloud based payment service.

Lots of no answers...colour night mode...no....reset after tracking...no
That’s right. Those features not available.
@@tanzTalkstech i was about to buy this item, but the no night mode feature has changed my mind. Thanks 👍👍
It has night mode just not in colour. The infra-red works amazing, it's that clear I had to walk out and see if the lights had come on.
@@fishingphillCheers Phil, there's always something missing, but what do we want for the price blood! Appreciate your thoughts on this. 🌲🌲
It's already 2024 and they still use that fcking useless 2MP sensor for a so called security camera. 8MP should be the minimum for cctv now.
Yeah you are right bro but not everyone can afford an 8 MP Camera. In addition to that, 8MP Camera will need a bigger memory card to record for a month as well.
