Product Features
Technical Overview
The C325WB captures video at 2688 x 1520 resolution with H.264 compression, delivering sharp 2K QHD footage that provides twice the pixel density of standard 1080p cameras. Its 20 fps frame rate ensures smooth video playback for accurate motion tracking and event review. The camera's 127° diagonal field of view covers wide areas, reducing blind spots in surveillance zones.
At the core of its imaging system is a 1/1.79" CMOS sensor paired with an f/1.0 super-aperture fixed lens. This combination captures four times more light than typical f/2.0 lenses, enabling the camera's color night vision technology to produce bright, detailed color images without requiring additional spotlights. The 4.6mm focal length provides optimal coverage for most outdoor monitoring scenarios.

User Manual
FAQ
What resolution does the Tapo C325WB camera record at?
The Tapo C325WB records at 2K QHD resolution, specifically 2688 x 1520 pixels. This provides twice the pixel density of standard 1080p cameras, resulting in sharper, more detailed video footage that makes it easier to identify faces, license plates, and other important details in surveillance recordings.
How does the color night vision work on this camera?
The color night vision combines an f/1.0 super-aperture lens with a large 1/1.79" CMOS sensor to capture significantly more light than conventional security cameras. This allows the camera to produce bright, detailed color images in ultra-low light conditions without requiring additional spotlights or infrared illuminators that can create blinding white spots in the footage.
What is the field of view for the C325WB camera?
The camera offers a 127° diagonal field of view, providing wide coverage that reduces blind spots in monitored areas. This expansive viewing angle is particularly useful for covering driveways, entryways, parking areas, and other spaces where comprehensive visibility is important for security monitoring.
Is this camera suitable for outdoor use in all weather conditions?
Yes, the Tapo C325WB features an IP66 rating for weatherproof and dustproof performance. It operates reliably in temperatures from -4°F to 113°F (-20°C to 45°C), making it suitable for year-round outdoor installation in various climates. The package includes waterproof seals and cable attachments to ensure complete weather resistance.
What connectivity options does this security camera support?
The camera supports both Wi-Fi and Ethernet connectivity, providing flexible installation options. Wi-Fi allows for easy setup without running network cables, while Ethernet offers a stable, high-bandwidth connection for network-intensive applications. This dual connectivity makes the camera adaptable to different installation scenarios and network requirements.
What storage options are available for recorded footage?
The C325WB supports local storage via microSD card with capacity up to 512GB, as well as cloud storage through Tapo Care services. This dual storage approach provides flexibility—local storage keeps footage on-site for immediate access, while cloud storage offers secure off-site backup and remote viewing capabilities from anywhere with an internet connection.
