Indoor Cameras

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. Position cameras high and angled for maximum coverage while avoiding private spaces like bathrooms or bedrooms (unless necessary and with consent).

Tapo C225 and Tapo C230 offer 2K and 3K video respectively, 360° pan-tilt coverage, smart AI detection, motion tracking, and two-way audio - making them ideal for remotely monitoring elderly parents. These features help ensure safety, quick communication, and peace of mind.

No permission is needed to install cameras inside your own home. However, be mindful of others’ privacy, especially if you live with flatmates or carers, and avoid recording in private areas without consent.

Most Tapo indoor cameras are not weatherproof and are best kept indoors. However, models like the Tapo C120, Tapo TC82, and Tapo C460are designed for both indoor and outdoor use. For optimal outdoor performance, explore our full range of outdoor security cameras built to handle the elements.
