Capture sharp, detailed images in 4K resolution (8 MP). A 4K image has four times as many pixels as a standard Full HD 1080p image, so even people and pets in motion stand out clearly.
The camera’s 360-degree horizontal and 116-degree vertical field of view enables comprehensive monitoring of the room. Thanks to its pan-and-tilt mechanism, you can view different parts of the room with a single camera.
Advanced artificial intelligence recognises people and pets and detects a baby’s cry. You’ll receive an immediate notification of any detected events, so you can stay up to date with what’s happening at home.
AI-powered automatic tracking recognises moving people and pets, zooms in on the subject and follows their movements even from a distance. This ensures that important events don’t go unnoticed.
Define privacy zones within the camera’s field of view where no recording takes place. You can also limit motion detection zones to specific areas, so you only receive notifications about events detected in the areas you’ve defined as important.
See clearly even in the dark from a distance of up to 12 metres. Infrared illumination and baby cry detection also make the camera suitable for monitoring a child’s bedroom.
Save videos directly to a microSD memory card inserted into the camera, with a capacity of up to 512 GB. Alternatively, you can use the Tapo Care cloud storage service, which requires a paid subscription.
Thanks to the built-in microphone and speaker, you can listen to sounds in the camera’s surroundings and talk to people on the other side of the camera.
The camera’s audio alarm helps to deter unwanted visitors. The alarm volume reaches up to 96 dB.
