TP-Link Tapo C520WS Outdoor Pan/Tilt Security Camera

The Tapo C520WS delivers professional-grade outdoor surveillance with 2K QHD resolution (2560 x 1440), providing 1.7 times more pixels than standard 1080p cameras for sharper, more detailed footage of your property.

Starlight Color Night Vision Technology

Equipped with an F1.6 large-aperture lens and starlight sensor, this camera captures vivid colors even in low-light conditions without requiring spotlights. The enhanced photosensitivity renders brighter images than conventional full-color night vision cameras with F2.2 lenses. Choose between three night vision modes: Full-Color Mode for 24/7 color recording, Smart Mode that activates spotlights only when motion is detected, or traditional Infrared Mode with up to 98 ft range.

Complete 360° Coverage

The motorized pan/tilt mechanism provides 360° horizontal and 130° vertical rotation, eliminating blind spots around your property. Smart motion tracking automatically follows detected subjects, keeping them in frame as they move through the camera's field of view.

Free AI-Powered Detection

Advanced AI technology identifies and differentiates between people, pets, and vehicles, sending targeted notifications based on what matters to you. Customize detection zones, adjust sensitivity levels, and set up activity boundaries to reduce false alerts. Enable patrol mode to have the camera automatically cruise between two preset points.

Customizable Security Alerts

Record personalized audio messages to play as alarms when motion is detected. The built-in adjustable spotlight can be configured to activate automatically, deterring unwanted visitors with bright light and custom sound warnings.

Flexible Connectivity Options

Connect via dual-band 2.4GHz Wi-Fi with dual external antennas providing coverage up to 492 ft in open areas, or use the RJ45 Ethernet port for wired connection. The camera supports both installation methods for maximum flexibility.

Storage and Weatherproof Design

Store footage locally on microSD cards up to 512 GB (approximately 680 hours of 2K QHD video) or subscribe to Tapo Care cloud services for encrypted backups and 30-day video history. The IP66-rated weatherproof housing protects against rain, dust, and extreme temperatures for reliable outdoor operation.

Additional Features

Two-way audio enables real-time communication through the built-in microphone and speaker. Physical privacy mode blocks the lens when needed. Voice control works with Amazon Alexa and Google Assistant. Manage everything through the dedicated Tapo app for iOS and Android, including live viewing, playback, and camera settings.
