FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions about this product

Can I really use this camera both indoors and outdoors?

Yes. The Tapo C120's IP66 weatherproof rating protects against dust, rain, snow, and temperature extremes, making it equally effective indoors and outdoors. The magnetic base makes repositioning effortless. Use it as a nursery monitor today, move it to your backyard tomorrow. One camera, multiple monitoring needs.

What does IP66 weatherproof rating mean for outdoor use?

IP66 means full protection against dust and water from any direction. Your camera withstands rain, snow, and wind year-round, ensuring reliable 24/7 outdoor monitoring in all conditions.

How does color night vision work with the dual spotlights?

The dual spotlights activate in low light to illuminate your space, capturing full-color footage instead of grayscale infrared. You'll see actual colors, clothing, vehicles, package labels, even at night, revealing details standard IR cameras miss.

What is invisible IR mode, and when should I use it?

Invisible IR mode eliminates the red LED glow from traditional infrared monitoring. Perfect for sleeping babies, light-sensitive pets, or any space where visible red LEDs would be disruptive. Get clear night vision without the red indicator light.

How does the magnetic base installation work?

The magnetic base sticks firmly to metal surfaces for easy, tool-free installation. For non-metal surfaces such as walls, ceilings, or shelves, use the included mounting screws or adhesive to securely attach the camera. The 9.8 ft power cord provides flexible placement reach throughout your space.

Is wired power better than battery for a versatile camera?

Wired power is ideal for permanent monitoring locations and high-traffic areas where you need reliable 24/7 coverage without recharging or maintenance interruptions. Battery-powered cameras offer greater placement flexibility, particularly in areas without power outlets or when you need to frequently relocate your camera. The C120's wired design with a 9.8 ft power cord balances reliability with flexible placement options.

Can I use this as a baby monitor and outdoor camera?

Absolutely. Monitor your nursery with invisible IR mode and two-way audio, then move it outdoors when needed. The magnetic base makes repositioning effortless, and IP66 weatherproofing ensures seamless transition from indoor to outdoor use, no need for separate devices.

What is the advantage of 2K QHD over 1080p?

2K QHD (2560 × 1440 pixels) delivers significantly sharper detail than 1080p (1920 × 1080 pixels). Identify faces, read license plates, and spot package labels with crystal-clear precision that standard 1080p cameras miss.

Do I need a subscription for AI detection?

No. Free AI-powered detection identifies people, pets, vehicles, and more, no monthly fees required. Optional Tapo Care cloud storage adds features like snapshot alerts and 30-day video history, but core AI detection is always free.

How long is the power cord, and can I extend it?

The Tapo C120 includes a 9.8 ft power cord, providing extended reach for most indoor and outdoor installation locations. Users can utilize a USB extender to increase the length of the power cord to fit their setup.
