Smart AI Detection and Notifications

The Tapo C120 features AI-powered detection that can identify people, vehicles, pets, and unusual loud noises such as a crying baby. When movement or sound is detected, the camera sends an alert and begins recording. You can also set up custom privacy zones: if motion is detected in these zones, the camera will notify you immediately.

Flexible Storage Options

The camera supports local storage via a microSD card (up to 512 GB, card not included), and recordings triggered by AI detection can be saved locally. Additionally, the camera is compatible with the optional paid Tapo Care cloud service.
