- A: AnswerHi, Yes. How and to where it records will depend on which storage method (local storage via Micro SD card or cloud storage subscription). For example, you can set the camera to perform 24/7 rolling recording to the local Micro SD card (not included), or activity-based recording to the Micro SD card or cloud storage (a Tapo Care Subscription required for the latter).
Answered by TPLinkSupport
- A: AnswerThere are modes where Tapo cameras can be set to be either "Home" or "Away". Each mode has it's own custom notification and alarm settings: so while "Home" you can have notifications and alarms turned off, and then "Away" can have notifications and alarms turned on. Then, as/when you leave the house, you turn the cameras to "Away" mode, thus activating a security status where you will be notified if the cameras see anything and if the alarm is activated. (And, vice versa, when you come home, turn set the cameras back to "Home" mode).

Featured Packed Camera for the Value
I recently got the TP-Link Tapo C125 AI Home Security Wi-Fi Camera, and I must say, it has exceeded my expectations in every way. As someone who has a landlord and with maintenance people coming and going while I'm not home, I felt the need to get a security camera. This led me to TP-Link Tapo C125, and it has proven to be a reliable camera at a very reasonable price for my home. Setting up for the Tapo C125 camera was superfast. Just unfold the camera and plug in the power adapter and then follow the step-by-step instructions in the Tapo app and within minutes, I had the camera up and running, and connected to my home Wi-Fi network. The Tapo app, which is used to control the camera, is intuitive and easy to navigate, making it accessible for anyone. The camera boasts impressive 1080p HD video quality. The clarity and sharpness of the footage captured is shockingly crisp, even in low-light conditions. The wide-angle lens allows me to angle the camera just right to get the best angle for the entrance to my home. It also comes with a built-in privacy shutter that can be controlled by pressing the button on the side of the camera or through the Tapo app. One of the best features of the Tapo C125 is its advanced AI technology for motion detection. The camera can accurately detect motion and will send you instant notification to my smartphone. What really impressed me the most was its ability to distinguish between different objects, such as humans or animals, reducing false alerts. This intelligent feature makes it so I am only notified when there is a genuine cause for concern, saving me from unnecessary alerts. Within the app there are a ton of settings where you can turn motion control only on during specific hours when you are not home, turn off pet detection so it's not alerting you when the dog walks by and countless other features to tailor to your needs. The two-way audio feature allows you to communicate with whoever is in the camera's vicinity, whether it's my wife, dog, or visitors. This feature allows for real-time interactions and adds an extra layer of convenience and security. The Tapo C125 offers multiple storage options, including local storage via a microSD card (not included) or their subscription based cloud storage. I went with the microSD card option because I had an extra one with 256GB which is plenty enough for my needs. So with this I can set it up immediately to start recording the moment it senses movement, and there will be recording of that on my phone. Overall, the TP-Link Tapo C125 AI Home Security Wi-Fi Camera has shown to be a reliable, feature packed, and user-friendly home security solution at a very reasonable price. With Its impressive video quality, intelligent motion detection, two-way audio, and easy remote access through the Tapo app. This Camera is a top choice for anyone looking to enhance their home security setup and I highly recommend it to anyone seeking a home security camera system.

Tiny and Impressive Camera
After a week with the TP-Link Tapo C125 Wi-Fi Camera, I am impressed. The Wi-Fi 6 enabled camera performs great. The camera and stand are small and versatile. Two-way communication works great. Integration with Alexa and Google Home was super easy to set up. Image quality was good. AI detection does an excellent job of picking up people and animals. The camera also makes a good baby monitor. All-in-all, I am impressed. Setup and Installation: Set up was simple. TP-Link includes several mounting methods. You could mount it with included screws. You could mount with the magnetic plate and adhesive. I chose to just put my camera up on a shelf. You will need to download the “TP-Link Tapo” app to your phone. Adding a device from within the app was simple. I had the camera online and updated within minutes. Yes, there is a firmware update out of the box, but I had no difficulties getting it to install. Again, the app will walk you through that process. The camera comes with a month of cloud storage, but I chose to add a 128GB MicroSD card. Once you have inserted the card, the camera will have a voice prompt telling you to finish formatting and setting up the card from within the Tapo app. Experience: I really like the size of this camera. It is small enough that if you fold it up to the stand, it is the size of a hockey puck. It is easy to mount or place in a room. I have been incredibly surprised at the amount of features that come packed into this little camera. It is the only camera I have that has AI recognition while I am watching a stream from the camera. The privacy shutter is nice and convenient. If you do not like the blue activity light, you can turn that off from within the app. If you wanted to magnetically mount the camera to a garage door opener, you could invert the camera image from within the app. I should note that I have a Wi-Fi 6 router and Access Point, but streaming the video feed has been quick with no buffering or delays. The camera is equipped to detect glass breaks or baby cries. For those reasons, I intend to put this camera in the baby room that my wife and I are setting up. Alexa and Google Home integration have been good. It is nice to be able to have Alexa put the camera footage up on my TV through our Amazon Fire TV Stick. Two-way communication with the camera is easy and quick. My only nitpicks (and these truly are nitpicks) is that I wish the camera had used USB-C instead of a dedicated power adapter. The included cable is long and the thankfully the plug isn’t a huge wall wart, but I USB-C connection would have been more convenient. Conclusion: I really like this camera. It is extremely easy to recommend. I plan to pick a few more up. Solid performance, customizable mounting options, and an easy-to-use app make this camera a solid pickup. 5/5 Recommended
