Customer Ratings & Reviews

I have several cameras and this one is the best. The Wi-Fi 6 capability is incredible and allow that the camera never have issues. 100% recommended

The sales rep went out his way to locate the item for me

Gotta love Apple Home, works great in the Home app and have had solid connection

Good camera that requires subscription to record videos

Nice product, highly recommended. Its the second cam I buy from this brand

Picture quality is okay, audio quality isn't so good. The worst part of this is the camera requires a cellphone app and doesn't have a PC/Windows app to setup and use the camera. My regular 1080p webcam does a much better job, although it did cost a little more.

Works great I using it to record my 3D prints ……..

Awesome quality, my wife loves it. Will be buying a second one soon.

Works great and works with homekit. I absolutely love it

TP-Link Tapo C125 Security Camera This is a sweet little camera that has really impressed me! It has a clever design that looks like a thick Hockey Puck until you pull it apart and fold it open. It’s very small and will fit in about anywhere. On a shelf it will hardly be noticed. And if you turn off the front LED (in the App) any recording will not bring attention to the camera or be noticed by an intruder. I absolutely enjoy the app. The more I use it the more I find more features. The options and the flexibility of setting this camera up for you specific demands are amazing. From people detection to glass break sounds you have options. The recoding is clear and detailed by day, but also clear at night even in black and white. I really appreciate how the camera is always watching the field and will go back 3-5 seconds and start recording before the actual movement occurred so you have a great segment with nothing missing. PROS: Small Footprint that can be wall mounted, or simply set on a shelf Plug-In power supply has a long 10 ft small white wire to reach almost any mounting situation to the camera Privacy button is very handy both on the phone and on the app to stop recording as well as the notifications Wide field of view at 140 degrees is great to cover a big area. Audio is not great but it works and sounds just fine. Some audio is spoken during set up and on insertion of a Micro SD card, which is helpful A plethora of options on the app for detecting movement of pets, people, vehicles, tampering of camera, baby cries, dog barks, cat meows, and glass break sounds. You have options! Detection and notifications can be set to specific times of the day or parts of a day Retrieval of recorded videos is fast when I view them on my phone! And the recording starts 3-5 seconds BEFORE the person enters the video! This is perfect to make sure you really have all the activity recorded. Best I have seen on a security camera. It has the ability to store clips on an internal micro SD card as well as the TP-Link cloud account When camera is unplugged or the power goes off, the camera will re-connect back to the internet pretty quickly and reliably It produces amazing clear and detailed videos in normal light. After dark the detail and range is better than most cameras I have used. 2 year Warranty 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi works great and has good range. Remember 5 GHz may be faster, but 2.4 gives you much better range to your router. CONS: I had very few issues. Only one came to mind and that was the initial setup. I took too long to pair the camera during the setup and the camera timed out. I figured out that the Privacy Shutter button when held will reset the camera and that allowed me to restart the paring process and get the camera connected. After that everything worked great. CONCLUSION: I would recommend this camera. The price and features make it perfect. The size and simplicity are very good coupled with great performance and clear videos. The app is one of the best I have used on a security camera. At this price point I find this camera hard to be beat.

I got these to start adding to my Apple HomeKit. They disconnected way too many times.

I'm not sure about this one. Can't get a clear picture.

Drops connection constantly. I have better stability with ring cameras and HomeKit bridge

Play we’re good in the daytime after dark they stopped working. Wouldn’t not recommend buying them for outdoors use at night through a window.  Another trip to Best Buy. 

I was really looking forward to this camera replacing my old Arlo Pro. Nicely packaged. The Tapo software is easy to use. Tried connecting it to my Spectrum Wifi router using 2.4Ghz. My BT found the device but when it came time for the pairing process, it would not go any further. Tried the entire process at least 8-10 times but no luck. I returned this camera to the store the next day. My two Tapo smart switches installed/connected to my network without any issues. Same for my two Tapo 320WS cameras.

Needs more information on package. Didn't say it was for iphone on the package so I bought it and had to return.

I've tried several different security cameras, and some of them with onboard storage, and I'm really impressed with this one. The picture is good, the night vision is clear, and setup is easy with the app. The installation is pretty flexible. It has a magnetic base, or can be screwed to the wall, but it does need a power cord so you have to plan for that. Otherwise what really stands out to me is its responsiveness. The picture comes up pretty quickly when accessing the camera through the app. I use a microSD card for local storage in the camera, and I'm really impressed at how quickly I can call up and view video information that is stored locally. I haven't tried its cloud storage yet since I'm very happy with the onboard memory. The camera has some intelligence built in. It detects not only movement, but whether there's a person, an animal, or a passing car. Privacy mode is a really good feature. Not only does it stop transmitting or recording, but there's also a cover built into it that slides over the camera lens to ensure privacy.

The Tapo C125 by TP-Link is a very nice LITTLE security camera. I love that it is small but it is mighty and has some features I wouldn't expect. It is intended, I believe, as an inside camera. I am using it inside to see the outside. My HOA has strict requirements on how to attach a security camera to our home. To not get involved in any of that, I simply placed this little camera on the front window sill facing out toward the area in front of the house. Even through the screen, I am able to be notified then see/record video of people approaching the house. I have it set to notify me of Humans only, not motion, nor dogs or automobiles. When I first set it for motion, I realized the street out front was way busier than I had ever imagined and stopped that right away due to the incessant notifications. But it worked!! This camera was simple to set up using the Tapo app and Android 4.4 or higher or iOS 9 or higher. It finds the camera via bluetooth and then connects via 2.4GHz WiFi. Since setting mine up, it has not lost the connection. For a little camera, this is feature rich. There are quite q few settings to work through - but it is certainly worth the effort to have the camera do exactly what you want it to do. I chose to have the alarm on and I can tell you the siren option can be quite loud! I disabled the siren and chose to have a light as an alarm instead. I did test this and nothing happened, so I'm a bit disappointed with that. Do you want to record sound, be able to have 2-way talk, receive notifications all day or on a schedule? The video quality is 2K (with 4MP) but you are able to downgrade the 2K to 720P if you are using a micro SD card (NOT included) and choose to save space. You can either sign up with Tapo Care, their cloud based service that will save your recordings (for 1 camera for $3.49/month) or you can insert a micro SD card (NOT included) to capture your recordings. Tapo gives you a 30 day free trial with no credit card needed to test out their service. If you cancel their service, basically you would lose the Rich notifications - the ability to receive a snapshot notification. More features: Another is the privacy shutter. This camera has a physical privacy shutter that you are able to open and close via a switch on the side of the camera or with a tap in their app. If you have it inside and you have guests over, perhaps you wouldn't want to record private conversations you might have, etc. The camera gives you a fairly broad 140 degree view and that captures everything I am needing and more. This is compatible with Apple Home Kit, Alexa and Google Assistant. I linked mine to my Alexa display and am able to ask Alexa to show me the camera and I get a live streaming view (just as I can get on my iPhone). This camera offers numerous mounting options: magnet, drill holes and mount, mount with adhesive or simply set it down, as I have done on my window sill. Almost everything you might need for any of those mounting options is included. This camera comes with a 2 year warranty and 24/7 tech support which says a lot. This camera does have a power cord (not wireless) but it is fairly long, enough that it makes placement easier. I truly like this little Tapo C125 AI Home Security Wi-Fi Camera. I will be cancelling the Tapo care after my 30 day free trial to see how it works with a micro SD card. I'm not sure exactly what I will lose, but it doesn't seem like it will be much, I would recommend this security camera to anyone needing a small security camera with unexpectedly outstanding features.

Doesn’t work great with the HomeKit Secure Video setup, for whatever reasons. Constantly getting disconnected from the network and showing black screen instead of the camera feed. Returned. Yeah, maybe there’s something wrong with my router, but I used 2.4GHz Wi-Fi and even tried assigning fixed IPs to the cameras and it didn’t help.

The TP-Link features an impressive view and resolution, and while the frame may look gimmicky, the mechanism is solid in holding the lens in a very stable way. It arrives in a very tiny folded configuration, like a hockey puck, with various mounting hardware. It features a weighed magnetic base, a metal plate with 2 screw holes, and an adhesive (oddly with a pair of screw holes). Setting it up takes a matter of minutes after you download the Tapo app. The app instructs you to turn on Bluetooth to find the camera; once found, give it your Wi-Fi password and pair. It supports both cloud and local recording via a microSD card. With the type of hardware included, you can mount this virtually anywhere in your home. As I tried to get going with this camera, I walked it over to the office to mess with it while I tackled another task. I realized that it had a very low framerate and would frequently buffer. I was a little confused about why this was having such a bad stream. Phones, computers, wireless smart smoke detectors, and other gadgets don't typically have issues with service in that room. I unplugged it and took it next to the router to test again; this time there was no lag or issues at all. The office is technically 3 rooms over when seen on a floor plan. But in reality, it's actually two, with a single wall composed of drywall between them. With little to no solid materials other than meshing, wood, and electrical wiring, with no concrete-based materials, tubing, or anything similar. The camera only supports 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi, which meant I couldn't change its connection type to get better coverage. When working correctly, the picture quality is very clear, both day and night. Night vision is configurable to your needs and can be turned off if you get too much glare. The AI functions capture and label moments of activity while drawing a little green box around your object. Human detection is labeled by a person icon, while quick movements/actions give you a running person icon. I don't have large pets indoors, so I can't say if it generates a dog icon. The packaging does mention it picks them up and tags them intelligently as well. The privacy shutter is a neat add-on to any camera. Activate, and the camera mostly turns off with the lens covered. I only wish there was a schedule this could be customized with. As it is now, you have to manually toggle it every time you want to turn it on or off. Pros -Amazing picture quality -Incredibly easy setup -Multiple mounting options -Fantastic camera frame Cons -Weak Wi-Fi radio -No schedules for privacy shutter This is worth 4-stars.
