Tapo C101 1080P Indoor Wired Security Camera – Baby Monitor, Pet Cam, Night Vision, 2-Way Audio, Local & Cloud Storage

Meet the Tapo C101, an adaptable indoor security camera designed to fit your daily routine. It delivers crisp 1080P HD video so you can see detail in living spaces, nurseries, and entryways from the comfort of the Tapo app. You’ll receive instant push notifications for motion, people, or baby crying events, with no mandatory fees for basic monitoring. The infrared night vision reaches up to 30 feet, ensuring visibility after dark, while the built in two way audio lets you listen and speak through the camera, plus a built in siren adds an extra layer of deterrence when needed.

Storage flexibility is a key strength. Use local storage with a microSD card up to 512 GB (card sold separately) or opt into Tapo Care cloud storage for a 30 day video history along with features like motion tracking. The camera supports RTSP/ONVIF for easy integration with compatible NVR systems, and it works across your smart home setup with Alexa and Google Assistant compatibility for quick live viewing on Echo Show or a Chromecast screen.

Real‑world uses and daily setup

Whether you’re checking on a sleeping baby, monitoring a playful pet, or keeping an eye on your entryway, the C101 offers flexible, practical features without assuming outcomes. The camera connects over 2.4 GHz Wi‑Fi and requires a constant power supply with the included DC adapter, making it suitable for fixed indoor placements. It’s not battery powered, and if you plan to integrate with a larger security system, RTSP/ONVIF support helps you connect to compatible NVR solutions.

Storage options cater to different preferences. Local microSD storage gives you independent access to footage, while cloud storage through Tapo Care provides extended history and advanced features like motion tracking and baby crying detection.
