Our take on the TP-Link Tapo Security Camera

The TP-Link Tapo is an indoor/outdoor Wi-Fi security camera with a wired Ethernet port, app control, motion detection and a built-in microphone. The Ethernet jack is unusual for this class and gives you a wired link when Wi-Fi is weak. At $163.51 at Newegg as of November 8, 2026, it is the only new price listed, so there is no recent range to compare it against.
