Indoor/Outdoor 2K security camera

The Ubiquiti Networks Tapo C216 is a plug-in IP camera rated IP65 for rain or snow. It records 2K colour footage day or night and suits homeowners watching pets, babies or entry points. The two-pack provides identical units for multi-room coverage.

Wireless setup on 2.4 GHz only

Connect each camera to a 100–240 V AC outlet, then join the 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi network; 5 GHz is not supported. The app guides pairing, but routers that force band-steering can block the initial handshake. A micro-SD card up to 128 GB must be purchased separately for local recording.

Sustained recording with encryption

AES-256 encryption protects the video stream during continuous upload to cloud or card storage. The spotlight and siren activate on motion without interrupting the feed. Power draw stays constant because the cameras are mains-fed, so there is no battery degradation over long deployments.

Questions about this item

How can I confirm the Tapo C216 is recording properly after installation?

Open the phone app and check for a live 2K feed, then trigger motion in front of the lens — the spotlight, siren and instant notification should activate to show the camera is working as intended

What comes with the Tapo C216 and what must I purchase separately?

The box contains one plug-in camera; a micro SD card up to 128 GB for local recording and any cloud subscription are sold separately

Which Tapo C216 version should I choose for a standard home Wi-Fi setup?

This model operates on 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi only, so pick it if your router broadcasts a 2.4 GHz network; it will not connect to 5 GHz
