Product details

The TP-Link Tapo C420S2 is a network-capable model designed for outdoor use via RJ45 network cable. If you want to monitor an outdoor area, the TP-Link Tapo C420S2 is a great choice. Infrared light allows the model to record videos even in darkness. The infrared illumination is reflected outside the visible spectrum, making people and objects clearly recognizable. The length of the infrared beams determines how far the surveillance device can detect in the dark. This specification indicates the distance in meters at which individuals can be detected. For the TP-Link Tapo C420S2, this is rated at 15 meters. The IP camera is accessed through the computer network, allowing you to gain access via a web interface to make settings or manage the device. This surveillance device is dustproof and weather-resistant, making it suitable for outdoor installation. Durability is a significant quality feature of an outdoor model to ensure it withstands various environmental influences. The IP rating indicates the device's resistance to environmental factors, and here it is rated at IP65. A high number indicates how well the camera is protected against dust and water. The TP-Link Tapo C420S2 boasts a high-resolution of 2560 x 1440 pixels, providing clear images in high resolution. Even the smallest details can be seen in an enlarged video section, such as faces, license plates, or clothing details. If medium to high storage capacity is available, you can archive longer monitoring periods. The surveillance device is capable of responding appropriately to predefined events. When such an event occurs, it is detected, recorded, and further actions are taken. One option is to trigger an alarm sound.

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.
