2K Outdoor Wired Pan/Tilt Security Wi-Fi Camera, 360° View, Motion Tracking, Works w/Alexa & Google Home, Color Night Vision, Free AI Detection, Cloud & SD Card Storage(up to 512GB), Tapo C510W

I purchased this for my brother because their neighbors were having problems with someone burglarizing their home. This camera works amazingly! Much MUCH better than my much MUCH more expensive Ring outdoor cam. But, don’t waste your time with the expensive SD card, you won’t need it. You can get other ones much cheaper. But the video clarity and sound on this is TOP NOTCH!

Excellent Camera - Outstanding Performance and Reliability! I've been using this TP-Link Tapo C500 for several weeks now, and I'm thoroughly impressed with its performance. This camera has truly exceeded my expectations in every way. The 360° pan/tilt functionality is seamless and responsive, giving me complete visibility around my outdoor space. The 1080P resolution is crystal clear, making it easy to identify details even from a distance. The motion tracking feature works flawlessly—it automatically follows movement and captures exactly what I need to see. The night vision is outstanding. I was skeptical at first, but the infrared capability delivers sharp, detailed footage even in complete darkness. The AI detection features are remarkably accurate, effectively filtering out false alerts and only notifying me when it matters. Setup was incredibly straightforward, and the integration with both Alexa and Google Home adds wonderful convenience to my smart home system. I love being able to check my camera feed from anywhere using the app, and the cloud and SD card storage options give me peace of mind knowing my footage is secure. Reliability has been exceptional—this camera has performed flawlessly in various weather conditions, with no hiccups. The build quality feels solid and well-designed for outdoor use. I highly recommend this camera to anyone looking for a dependable, high-quality security solution. It's a fantastic investment that delivers real value. If you're on the fence, don't hesitate—this camera is absolutely worth it! Five stars, all the way!

We love every single one of our Tapo cameras! This one in particular is on our back porch. Downloading and accessing the app is super easy. Installing the camera is just as easy. The included 2 way talk and nighttime spot light features are just an added benefit for an already great camera. The view from the app is very clear, day or night. I ran the wire along side our sliding glass door so it’s hidden by the doorframe. Install took a total of 5 minutes from start to finish. The overall size of the camera once installed is sleek and not extremely noticeable. The pan and tilt option in the app is so convenient and makes the camera stand out above our other Tapo cameras. I’ve included views from my app so you can see how cool it is that you can set views with your camera that you can go back to when you’re in the app. Overall, for the functionality and quality this camera is 100% worth every penny I spent!

These cameras are fantastic! Great picture quality, features and performance, plus they are easy to setup with the app. I was also able to easily set them up for use with my NVR system. The only reason I did not give them 5 stars is because you cannot change the rtsp port on them so that you can port forward for remote viewing without using their app.

The device performs exceptionally well and was very easy to install. I chose to mount the camera using industrial-grade double-sided tape and routed the cable through a window, which made the setup quick and straightforward. I’ve since transitioned my home to the Tapo ecosystem for both cameras and door locks, and everything has worked flawlessly so far. These are high-quality products that deliver excellent performance at a fraction of the cost of the larger brands.

Update 9 mths later this camera has worked great I wish it could be wired in, but it requires an outlet to plug it in, I still have 2 of these at the back of my home and it catches most everything outside and the address card works great as well, you can takes pictures and video of the video itself and it has a faster speed to review all the action quicker, it works well remotely when I am away to see what's going on at home, this has provided me peace of mind while I have been away a lot this year. Highly recommended, I wish it had a light that would stay on like my other camera I ordered from another company but overall it's really great! These have been great cameras they do lose connection freq but usually will connect back on there own sometimes, I like the functional saved position options also the talk back features capture features like most cameras now but these are good with clarity at nite I can't get the flood lights to work. Overall happy with them the sd card captures footage and loops Recommended I'm confused, I thought I was buying a hard wired camera that I could hard wire into my porch light for now to use as security camera, and it came with a plug ?? How is this an outdoor camera as instructions say to not get plug wet etc and should be plugged in indoors, Disappointed that there are no bright flood lights like my other cameras from other brands less expensive, and it does not seem to have a color option and seems to be only black and white, the nite vision was ok and has a good distance however the alarm strobe light is useless imo as it is a tiny light that blinks, the alarm on high volume is too low, the adapter plug has a 10ft thin cord it has sd option like all the other cameras do and 2 way talk, it says, have not tested that yet, but cannot find a color option all cameras have this now so I do not see why this one doesn't, I am going to test it for the next 25 days and if it doesn't function well will return it I guess, but I wish they would be more clear about how it is called an outdoor camera yet instructions says not to get adapter wet, set up was not difficult, they all work the same, the Alexa app has it listed as Alexa compatible and I linked it to the app, but overall compared to one I bought that has dual cameras on one for only 16.00 I do t think it is better or worth the extra $ It doesn't detect things as I think it should we tested it multiple times, I put sensitivity up high . Either way it's a disappointment when I thought I could wire it into my porch light wiring. So far it is working well has good night vision and even tho black and white and has no flood lights etc it serves it's purpose and tracks motion very well .

Fantastic camera. I use this to monitor my boat in a different state. The quality of the picture is far better than the camera it replaced. I don't use the motion detecting features because there are a lot of squirrels in the neighborhood and the motion detection would be sending me alarms all the time. For my application this camera works reat and it is a great value.

recieved it open box, missing parts, you know me im cheap! But this device would not connect to my wifi. I know a lot of computer things....this camera only works on its own app, but i wanted it on my PC, (just like i have put 9 other cameras on my PC with no problems. The app would not load in my cell phone....it would not work on my PC without "bluestacks", ( a program that allows android apps to work on your pc. I spent time in my router troubleshooting the ports acess for this camera, and none of them work at all...when they should have. So, it's ok to download the app to your newer phones, and it should work , but it was just not for me, connection issues even to my phone it would not work..but my phone is older, and i didn't think it was a plus for me to have to go buy a new phone, i just don't have the money....i did everything the instructions told me to do, which is not much, because this camera is to auto configure for you after you get its app, but to no avail and 4 days of doing my best to make it work, and it did not like me for some reason... and just to let you know i owned a computer repair business for several years, so something was wrong with the cameras to not be able to connect. Software spacific camera. Don't let this review leave anyone out in the cold... i bought these cameras because they are so versital if they work. it is just one case they didn't , but i dont have the time to keep working on how to get them to connect. But they are a great camera.. don't hesitate to buy them.. cheaply priced, sharp picture, options are fantastic. Buy one today if you have a newer cell phone. I did return these to amazon. (wish I didn't have to). :( :)
