Yes, you can control or monitor the camera remotely via the app on your iPhone without the need for a subscription. You can use the app to view the live feed and play back videos as long as the camera is connected to the internet. However, you cannot save videos or photos directly via the iPhone recording function, as the camera itself saves the recordings on a memory card.

The camera is well suited for use in dark environments such as a garage, as it has a night vision function with a starlight sensor that provides clear images even in low light conditions. In addition, the infrared night vision can be switched to a 940 nm mode, which utilises invisible IR lights to avoid disturbing people or animals. Ceiling mounting is possible as the camera has a pan and tilt function that allows it to be swivelled horizontally by 360° and vertically. This means it can also monitor the desired area from a ceiling position. Summarised: - Night vision with starlight sensor for good image quality in the dark - Switchable IR LEDs (visible or invisible) - Pan/tilt function for flexible alignment, even from the ceiling - Suitable for indoor areas such as garages This makes the camera suitable for your garage and ceiling installation.

The Tapo C225 camera has a tilt function that allows the camera to be rotated vertically. The tilt range of the camera is 60° mechanically, which corresponds to an effective tilt coverage of 149°. You can therefore set the camera to look downwards, but it cannot film down to the floor directly in front of the window sill if it is placed on the window sill. However, the camera can be pointed downwards to a certain angle to monitor the area below the window sill, but it depends on the specific position and height of the window sill how much of the floor area it can actually cover.

battery no.. power supply... yes an sd card makes sense if you don't want a subscription... i have an sd card... fits perfectly

It is 12V at 1.0 A. Greetings

Yes, it works great with the Tapo app. A few additional functions, such as cloud storage etc. require a basic or premium plan. Simple, if this should be a topic.

The camera has a very good resolution, even at night. The motion detection also works very well, it would certainly be worth a try.

Mine is a V2 that has been delivered :)

Very good, even reacts to flies and moths

Yes, it's more like 3m, without measuring it now.

is Apple HomeKit compatible.

Answer : You can use the camera or watch the live view without an internet connection, but please make sure that both your phone and the camera are connected to the same wireless network. Note: Motion detection or any other service linked to the TP-Link Cloud will not work if there is no internet access.

In the app you can have a view with multiple cameras. You can buy the plan if you don’t want ti use the SD card. I don’t have the plan so I don’t know

Hello, there is a thread in the base so that you can use a tripod, for example. There are also various additional parts for mounting. These are usually based on a small plastic disc that can be inserted bayonet-style in the camera and these in turn can be screwed or glued on.

Hello, Perhaps other users can help you with your experience with the product. However, if you do not receive an answer, we recommend that you contact TP-Link support: https://www.tp-link.com/de/support/contact-technical-support/

According to the manufacturer, the device has Dual IR, with two different wavelengths 850nm and 940nm.

Unfortunately, the manufacturer does not provide any information on this.

Hello, I have the same problem. I have tried EVERYTHING I have found on TP-Link, YouTube and other forums. Since I have two other Tapo cameras (not the C225) that work without problems, I am convinced that the problem is with the camera or the firmware. No matter which 2.4Ghz network I tried, I always got an error message. I have also used networks with and without a password. The same error message always came up. Has anyone managed to connect the camera?

Yes, you can connect multiple cameras to the hub, group them if you want and access them via the app. The hub supports MicroSD cards up to 256GB and recording on them. If you want to use the AI function pet, vehicle detection, then you have to buy a subscription, which depends on the number of cams. With 3-4 MP models, the subscriptions are already included, but they are also more expensive. Please also note that this model is not battery operated. For outdoor use and as a set, so that you also have a hub, I would recommend the TP-Link Tapo C420S2 set, plus a small solar panel that charges the battery.

Yes, all the features are available without a subscription. With a subscription, you can externalise videos in case your camera is stolen and you are not limited by the size of the SD card.

Yes, it has all the necessary hardware to be wall or ceiling-mounted.
