TP-Link Tapo TC82 Security Camera 2-Pack vs TP-Link Tapo Dual-Lens Pan-Tilt Camera

Both are Tapo 2K cameras, but they solve different jobs. The TC82 two-pack is battery-powered and wire-free, so you can put cameras where there is no outlet, indoors or out, and get up to six months per charge with an optional solar panel. The dual-lens pan-tilt camera is mains-powered, pans 340° and tilts to cover a whole room or yard from one fixed spot, with a starlight sensor and a 6 mm telephoto lens for closer looks. Buyers rate the TC82 well (4.3 from 408 ratings) and like the free person detection; the pan-tilt model wins on coverage per camera and night detail.

• Choose the Tapo TC82 two-pack if you need cameras where there is no power outlet, want two viewpoints out of the box, or want to mount and forget with battery or solar.
• Choose the Tapo dual-lens pan-tilt camera if you can reach an outlet and would rather have one camera sweep a wide area with pan, tilt and a telephoto lens.
