Review: NC450 TP-Link for Indoor Surveillance Needs | CCTV
1. Large Packing Size with Storage Bulkhead
The CCTV Camera TP-Link NC450 is designed with a compact form for placement that does not interfere with aesthetics. Even so, the packaging is large enough when you take it home. There are additional bulkhead materials intended to keep CCTV camera storage and device components safe.
Every partition in the box is made to be able to secure all device components safely. Unfortunately, if you forget the exact arrangement when placing CCTV cameras and their components, the boxes will actually be difficult to close.
2. Can connect with Ethernet or WiFi
The connectivity port behind the CCTV camera is available for reliable connection options.
On the back of the CCTV camera, you will see a micro SD port, Ethernet, power cable port, and WPS button. This WPS button serves to reset the network when you will connect a CCTV camera Tp-Link NC450 using WiFi.
Although it can accommodate connectivity with Ethernet, the testing we do is only with WiFi connectivity. You can do the steps to connect this CCTV camera by following the application guidelines. The tpCamera application can be downloaded for free for Android and iOS devices.
Camera settings can be done for practical control.
For more practical connectivity, you certainly think you can connect a camera with WiFi. Unfortunately, the process of pairing cameras with applications on HP is relatively difficult, especially for lay users who are not familiar with network settings.
When tested to connect this CCTV camera with an application on HP, we even tried it with a portable WiFi modem with WPS. After resetting the device in accordance with the instructions, monitoring of the CCTV camera can be accessed properly and is quite responsive from the application on the cellphone.
3. Pairing Process Connected with One Device

When tested to be able to be connected with other HP devices, it turns out that the tpCamera application system cannot detect the camera. After pairing with the application on HP A disconnected, the new CCTV camera can be detected on cellphone B.
There is no clear information regarding the connectivity of CCTV cameras with HP. However, this will certainly be a problem when you want to connect the camera with two more than one device at the same time to control a more practical monitoring function.
4. Wide Range of Cameras with Clear Image Quality
Although the process of pairing this TP-Link NC450 CCTV camera is a hassle, the camera quality is reliable and works well. The pan and tilt range functions optimally to be able to accommodate a wide range of spaces. The function of Night Vision from CCTV cameras is also able to accommodate surveillance of cameras with clear image quality.
5. Responsiveness of Application Notifications
Display settings and notifications that enter the tpCamera application.
The compatibility of CCTV cameras with applications on HP is an important function needed for supervision in the home. When the CCTV camera is connected with the application on the cellphone, you can activate the motion sensor and sound settings.
When it's activated, the camera is able to detect the recorded sound in the room. But unfortunately, in the tests we did indoors, there were no notifications coming in when the room door was opened from the outside.
Overall, the operation of the CCTV camera TP-Link N450 has a pretty good monitoring function, especially with the Night Vision feature. Unfortunately, for lay users, the pairing process and notification settings are rather difficult to do, potentially causing the limitations of CCTV camera functions.
Advantages
- Quality Night Vision can display clear picture quality
Disadvantages
- Pairing process can only be done with one HP device
- WiFi connectivity used needs to accommodate WPS
