Setup Guide
Tapo C113 Indoor/Outdoor Home Security Wi-Fi Camera
Welcome to the setup guide.
To ensure equal access for all users, we offer this accessible setup guide. This guide is designed to meet accessibility needs, enabling a successful setup. It will introduce the appearance of your camera, including its ports, buttons, and labels, and then guide you through the setup process.
Step 1. Know about your camera
In this section, we will describe the camera's appearance, including its ports, buttons, and labels.
1. You can find your camera and power adapter in the package.
Power Adapter: The power adapter is usually a rectangular or square block with a cord on one end that plugs into the power port to power it on.
2. Next, place your camera on a level surface, such as a shelf or desk. The base is the half‑sphere with closely spaced grooves running from top to bottom. Set the camera so this base sits flat on the surface.
To ensure the camera is placed correctly, you should position it with the camera lens facing forward. The side that has a power port should face backward.
3. After positioning your camera correctly, we will introduce the ports, buttons, and labels on your device in a certain order.
Lens: For capturing things within its view.
System LED: It shows your camera status. You can check the camera status on the app. It is just above the lens.
White Light LEDs: For creating colorful images at night. The two LEDs flank the lens.
IR LEDs: For creating black-and-white images at night. These two also flank the lens, just below the white light LEDs.
Microphone: For capturing your voice. It is just below the lens.
Turn to the camera's back side and you can find the speaker and the lower USB Type-C Power Port.
Speaker: For producing sound, allowing you to hear the audio.
USB Type-C Power Port: For connecting the camera to the power source using the power adapter.
Turn to the camera's right side and locate the silicone cover. Open the cover, and you can find the reset button and the lower microSD card slot.
Reset Button: While the camera is on, press and hold the Reset button for at least 5 seconds to reset the camera's Wi-Fi settings, and press and hold the Reset button for at least 10 seconds to factory reset the camera.
microSD card slot: While facing the right side of the camera, insert a microSD card with the notch facing down.
On the back of the camera, you can find the product label.
Product label: The product label is on the back of the camera through laser engraving.
