Description

The TP-Link Tapo C520WS Outdoor Pan/Tilt AI Home Security Wi-Fi Camera is a powerhouse for outdoor surveillance, offering a premium blend of high-resolution imaging, intelligent features, and robust durability. It’s engineered to provide exceptional security for your home’s exterior, driveways, yards, or any outdoor area requiring vigilant monitoring.

Crystal-Clear 4MP (2K QHD) Resolution: Experience unparalleled clarity with the Tapo C520WS’s 4-megapixel (2560 × 1440) QHD resolution. This allows for significantly sharper and more detailed images compared to standard 1080p cameras, enabling you to zoom in on specific areas and clearly identify faces, license plates, or other crucial details.

Revolutionary Starlight Color Night Vision: The C520WS truly shines in low-light conditions with its Starlight Color Night Vision. Equipped with an F1.6 large-aperture lens and a highly sensitive starlight sensor, it captures significantly more light, rendering brighter, full-color images and vivid details even when other cameras would revert to black and white. Additionally, two built-in spotlights enhance visibility and act as active deterrence.

Complete 360° Visual Coverage with Smart Tracking: Achieve comprehensive outdoor monitoring with the camera’s extensive 360° horizontal and 130° vertical pan and tilt capabilities. You can remotely control the camera’s angle via the Tapo app to cover every corner of your property. The Smart Motion Tracking feature ensures that once an object is detected, the camera automatically follows its movement to keep it within the frame, providing continuous surveillance of the activity. Patrol Mode allows cruising among multiple custom points.

Built to Withstand the Elements (IP66 Weatherproof): Designed specifically for outdoor deployment, the Tapo C520WS boasts an IP66 weatherproof rating, signifying its exceptional resistance to dust ingress and powerful water jets. It operates reliably in diverse and challenging weather conditions, including heavy rain, strong winds, and extreme temperatures, from −30∘C to 60∘C.

Advanced AI Detection and Actionable Alerts: Beyond basic motion detection, the Tapo C520WS integrates sophisticated AI algorithms to provide intelligent and accurate alerts. It can precisely identify people, pets, and vehicles, significantly reducing false alarms. It also features line-crossing and tamper detection, ensuring you’re notified of specific events. This intelligent filtering helps you focus on what truly matters.

Active Deterrence with Sound and Light Alarms: The camera is equipped with a powerful customizable sound and light alarm. Upon detecting an intruder, you can trigger a loud siren and activate the ultra-bright built-in spotlights directly from the Tapo app, effectively deterring unwanted visitors and drawing attention to the situation. You can even record your own audio as an alarm.

Seamless Two-Way Audio Communication: The integrated two-way audio feature, comprising a built-in microphone and speaker, allows for real-time communication with anyone on your property. Speak to delivery drivers, greet guests, or verbally warn off potential intruders from wherever you are.

Flexible and Secure Storage Options: The Tapo C520WS offers convenient and secure storage solutions. It supports a microSD card slot for local storage (up to 512 GB), allowing you to save continuous or motion-triggered video recordings directly on the device without recurring monthly fees. For an extra layer of security and convenient off-site backup, Tapo Care Cloud Storage Services are also available via subscription, offering a history of video clips and enhanced features.

Robust Connectivity and Easy Management: The camera supports both reliable 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi (IEEE 802.11b/g/n/ax – Wi-Fi 6 compatible) and a wired Ethernet connection for flexible and stable installation. Dual powerful external antennas ensure extended wireless coverage. Managing the C520WS is intuitive through the Tapo App, providing live viewing, video playback, and easy access to all settings. It’s also compatible with Google Assistant and Amazon Alexa for convenient voice control.
