Yes, indoor security cameras are safe when used responsibly. Tapo cameras use advanced encryption and privacy features, including privacy mode, customisable zones and secure local or cloud storage, to protect your data and personal space.

Ideal spots are generally areas with high traffic, such as entryways, shared living areas, hallways, children’s room (to monitor baby and young children) and rooms where valuables are kept.
