TP-Link Tapo C500 Outdoor Pan/Tilt Security Wi-Fi Camera

The TP-Link Tapo C500 delivers comprehensive outdoor surveillance with 360° horizontal and 130° vertical coverage, ensuring no blind spots around your property. This weatherproof security camera combines advanced AI detection with flexible installation options for reliable monitoring in any outdoor environment.

1080p Full HD Visual Clarity

Capture every detail with 1080p Full HD resolution (1920 x 1080 px) powered by a 1/3" image sensor. The camera provides clear, sharp images during the day and extends visibility up to 98 feet in complete darkness using 850 nm IR LED night vision technology.

Smart AI Person Detection & Motion Tracking

Advanced AI technology distinguishes between people and other movements, reducing false alarms from pets or passing vehicles. The high-speed pan/tilt mechanism automatically tracks detected motion across the entire 360° range, keeping subjects in frame while sending instant notifications to your smartphone via the Tapo app.

IP65 Weatherproof Construction

Built to withstand harsh outdoor conditions, the IP65-rated housing provides excellent protection against water and dust. Operating reliably in temperatures from -30°C to 60°C (-22°F to 140°F), this camera performs year-round in rain, snow, or intense heat.

Flexible Storage & Recording Options

Choose between local storage using a microSD card (supports up to 512 GB) or cloud storage through the Tapo Care service. Record continuously 24/7 or set customized recording schedules to capture footage when it matters most.

Two-Way Audio & Customizable Alarms

Communicate directly through the built-in microphone and speaker, whether greeting visitors or deterring intruders. Record personalized audio messages as custom alarms, adding an extra layer of security tailored to your needs.

Privacy & Security Features

Physical privacy mode mechanically blocks the lens with the camera housing when privacy is needed. All data transmissions are protected with 128-bit AES encryption using SSL/TLS protocols, while wireless connections support WPA/WPA2-PSK security standards.

Easy Installation & Smart Home Integration

Multiple mounting options allow installation on walls, ceilings, or poles using the included screws, template, and loops. The camera connects via 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi (IEEE 802.11b/g/n) and integrates seamlessly with Alexa and Google Assistant for voice-activated control.
