The TP-Link Tapo C400 is a wireless outdoor security camera. It records in 1080p Full HD, day and night. Color night vision and dual white lights add detail after dark, so the image does not depend only on infrared lighting.
The AI detects people and sends notifications, often with a snapshot. The basic detection works locally and does not require a subscription. Two-way audio lets you talk to people in view through the app. A siren sounds at 70 dB, measured at 3 m.
The camera connects directly to your Wi-Fi network and needs no hub. You set it up and manage it in the Tapo app for iOS and Android, where you can watch live video, review recordings and set up notifications. Its IP65 rating protects it against rain and dust.
