Tapo 1080p 2mp C500 Outdoor Pan/Tilt Security Wi-Fi Camera

Description

The Tapo C500 Outdoor Pan/Tilt Security Wi-Fi Camera is a robust, wired surveillance solution designed for comprehensive outdoor monitoring, ideal for homes, yards, garages, and small businesses. It features a 1/3″ progressive scan CMOS sensor, capturing 1080p Full HD (1920×1080) video at up to 15fps, delivering clear images for reliable identification. The color night vision with dual spotlights provides vibrant visuals in low-light conditions (as low as 0.1 Lux), while 850nm IR LEDs enable black-and-white vision up to 98 feet (30m) in complete darkness. The camera offers 360° horizontal and 130° vertical pan/tilt functionality with smart motion tracking and patrol mode, allowing it to follow moving objects or cruise among up to 8 custom points, eliminating blind spots.

The camera supports Wi-Fi (2.4GHz) or Ethernet for flexible networking, with dual antennas ensuring stable connectivity up to 492ft in open areas (actual range varies by environment). Free AI detection identifies people and motion, with customizable activity zones to reduce false alerts. Two-way audio with a built-in microphone and speaker enables real-time communication, while a customizable sound and light alarm (using spotlights and an integrated siren) deters intruders. The Tapo app (Android 5.0+, iOS 10+) supports live view, playback, and configuration, with real-time notifications and 24-hour recording options. Storage includes microSD cards up to 512GB (not included, equivalent to ~954 hours of 1080p footage) and optional TapoCare cloud storage for 30-day video history. The camera supports RTSP/ONVIF for third-party integration and integrates with Amazon Alexa and Google Assistant for voice control. The IP65 weatherproof rating ensures durability against water jets and dust, suitable for rain, snow, and heat. The camera is praised for its affordability, easy setup, and clear video quality, though motion tracking can be slow, and cloud storage requires a subscription.
