Description

With the TP-Link Tapo C246D, you won't miss a single even in the garden. This camera has 2 lenses: a pan tilt zoom (PTZ) lens and a wide-angle lens. The PTZ lens rotates 360 degrees and follows movements automatically. In the meantime, you can keep an overview of the rest of the space with the wide-angle lens. This lens has a 125-degree wide viewing angle, so you have less blind spots. Via the Tapo app on your smartphone, you can watch both images at the same time in sharp 2K resolution. You can use the camera indoors and outdoors. It recognizes movement, people, animals, vehicles, and the crying of a baby. Via the built-in microphone and speakers, you can take to people near the camera or calm your pets. You can store images on a microSD card. Note: it's not included.

Great camera for a “layman”

User-friendly app
Good price-quality ratio

I can say quite easily about this camera: anyone looking for something without hassle and "extra costs" would find it very useful. The installation is excellent; you don't have to be a techie. I control everything via the Tapo app, which is very intuitive on my smartphone. I opted for the local storage option on a 128GB card, which works perfectly. Subject detection and tracking are very smooth, and the camera picks up movement immediately. The night vision function provides a very clear black-and-white image as soon as the lights go out. This device has given me considerable peace of mind because it's simply so easy to use and continues to work well.

Handy camera

No subscription
Beautiful design

It's easy to install, even for non-technical users. It's convenient that you can easily see and track everything with the app, and you can expand it with an SD card if needed. The camera moves smoothly when someone passes by, which makes it feel much safer when you're not home but can still keep an eye on things.

Nice camera with good app

Stationary and moving camera
Good image
Many features

I really like this product because the quality is excellent, especially considering the price, and it does what it's supposed to.

You don't have to sign up for complicated subscriptions, and the installation is very quick.

I find the app very clear and user-friendly, and it's in Dutch.

I also have a Tapo doorbell camera, so I can now see what's happening at the front and back of my house at a glance.

The image quality is excellent, and if anything happens, the footage is actually useful.

It's great that you don't have to choose between a moving and stationary camera, so you're sure you won't miss anything.

You can configure everything in the app to your liking. I don't like too many notifications, and this works perfectly.

The night vision is also very good and stays clear, without being grainy or anything like that.
