Tapo C225 4MP Review
The Tapo C225 is the only 4MP camera in this roundup, delivering 2x the pixels of 1080P cameras. Its Starlight sensor enables full-color night vision in near-darkness, and the advanced AI separately identifies persons, pets, and vehicles, reducing false alerts to near zero.
Our Verdict
At Rs 2,800-3,500, the Tapo C225 is the most advanced WiFi camera under Rs 4,000 with 4MP 2K QHD video, Starlight color night vision, triple AI detection, and 512GB SD support. The 4.6-star rating from 3,200 reviews is the highest in our list. The sound and light alarm adds active deterrence. Premium pricing compared to 3MP alternatives is the main trade-off, and it still requires 2.4GHz WiFi only.
Best For
Homeowners and shop owners with large 300+ sq ft spaces who need the sharpest video with intelligent person-pet-vehicle detection and color night footage.
Consider Alternatives If
Budget buyers monitoring small rooms where a Rs 1,900 Tapo C210 delivers 90% of the quality at half the price.
