With the Tapo C510W, TP-Link certainly does not revolutionize video surveillance, but offers a reliable and easy-to-use solution for monitoring the surroundings of the house without breaking the bank too much.
The Tapo C510W is a classic, but well thought out, motorized camera. It has a reliable detection system and monitors several areas if necessary, in addition to tracking intruders by filming them. The image quality is also there. Certainly, its projector lacks power for truly usable color night vision, but infrared is extremely effective.
Strong points
- Well thought out support.
- No need for a gateway.
- 360° vision and motion tracking.
- Possibility of monitoring several zones consecutively.
- Excellent night image quality.
- microSD and cloud port (paid).
- High-performance microphone and speakers.
Weak points
- Not very powerful projectors.
- No Ethernet.
- No vehicle detection.
- Not very quality design.
NB: The reported price drop is calculated by comparing the lowest price of the day with the average of the lowest prices charged by all merchants for the product last month, with security rules to exclude the prices of stores whose the VAT policy is not clear (so-called “gray” stores, typically in the case of imports from China).
Alternatively
The C6N 4MP eliminates the main flaw of the 1080p version with its new sensor, better defined and capable of delivering much better quality images, especially at night. However, it retains the same qualities, starting with its movement tracking. Their detection is still very effective, but the audio part is a little disappointing and we can regret the absence of intelligent detection which is now common. Ezviz nevertheless offers a reliable and effective solution for monitoring your home at low cost.
