Product details

The Tapo wireless security camera system is designed for outdoor use. The rechargeable and removable battery with a low-power protocol extends your usage time. Without cables, you can place the camera anywhere you like. The camera is equipped with a star light sensor and spotlights that capture more colors. The highly sensitive star light sensor takes better quality images even in low light conditions. The built-in spotlights ensure that images appear in vibrant colors even at night. This camera allows for two-way audio communication: both a microphone and a speaker are integrated into the device. You can not only see intruders but also hear what they are saying, and record their speech along with the video. By communicating through the speaker, you have the opportunity to deter potential criminals from their actions. See what’s happening in the camera's surveillance area day and night: the model features a day/night function that operates with an IR-cut filter. During the day, the filter removes disturbing infrared light from the recording when there is enough brightness, and it automatically turns off at dusk, remaining inactive throughout the night. This makes infrared light visible in the video recording, allowing you to see things that would otherwise remain hidden in the dark. Visibility is further enhanced by infrared LED lighting: this way, the detection area is illuminated without an intruder being aware of it.

The TP-Link Tapo C420S2 smart home set is a good solution for anyone looking for a flexible security solution for outdoor use. The surveillance cameras and hub not only impress with their good build quality. You also get good image quality with a sharp QHD resolution. However, I would have liked more than 20 fps for the moving images...

    TP-Link makes smart outdoor surveillance particularly affordable. The set of 2 costs less than 200 euros. The test winner doesn't even have a camera for that. The video quality isn't great, but it's okay for the price. And: thanks to the base station for local recordings, you don't necessarily need a monthly subscription for cloud storage.
