Hi Sifoo,
I am looking to buy four CCTV cameras for my double-storey landed house. The areas I plan to install them are:
- Car porch (entrance gate)
- Living room
- Kitchen
- Kids' area
I am considering the following two models:
1. TP-Link TAPO C200C:
https://my.shp.ee/KxYq8s82. SriHome SP028:
https://my.shp.ee/MrK727qMy budget is around the price range of these models.
Could you provide any reviews, opinions, or recommendations on which one might be a better choice?
Thank you!
Note: On Shopee, I saw that the SriHome brand is the No. 1 best-selling Wi-Fi camera.
Tapo is generally cheap and decent for the price. For privacy, I would advise not to insert SD CARD to record for indoors unit (in case you love walking around naked). I had one Tapo T100 and T110 for indoors living room, kitchen area and parking compound. Then I added 1 C200 for back street and also one on 2nd floor balcony to pan around and lookout since my area surrounded by temple and church with lots of traffic at times. Working great so far.
Personally I do not like CCTV system for home because I think they work better for offices/factories whereby you set a TV for your staffs to monitor in/out movement and it also provided better clarity for live viewing, but once saved, the video is compressed so much that you could barely differentiate the human face from one another.
Tapo system is more convenient in case you love to move the camera around to monitor other things such as suddenly wanting to add a camera to monitor your pet or elderly at home. You can also buy a tapo plug to turn the camera on and off at certain time to provide privacy in case you need to set the camera at sensitive location such as bathroom or bedroom for the elderly. Not to mention Tapo also record sound which is useful and can be use to communicate directly via the camera itself.
