Pros and cons

According to our IP camera expert

The IP camera turns 360 degrees, so you can keep an eye on every corner of the garden.
Thanks to 3K resolution, the image stays sharp when you zoom in to details.
You can save the footage on an SD card, so you don't need a subscription for cloud storage.
Because the camera is corded, you have to set it up near a socket and maybe drill a hole to connect it.
You need a good WiFi signal in the spot where you mount the camera.

Description

Secure your garden, garage, or driveway with the TP-Link Tapo C530WS. This IP camera turns 360 degrees and tilts 130 degrees up and down. It follows movements from people walking by automatically. This way, you won't miss anything. The camera records in sharp 3K quality. You can connect this security camera to your smartphone via the Tapo app. Here, you can watch live footage, tilt or rotate the camera, and talk with visitors. If it's too dark outside to see a sharp image, you can turn on the built-in spotlights. You can also watch recorded footage in the app. You store this on an SD card. Don't have a strong WiFi connection where you mount the camera? Connect an Ethernet cable. Note: the SD card and Ethernet cable aren't included.

Unfortunately no POE

ease of installation
motion detection
Privacy mode
no POE

Great camera, although the coolblue site states that the camera supports POE, that does not work for me. I went looking at the manufacturer, there is also nothing mentioned about POE support. So it does not have POE. Follows movements smoothly and indicates whether it is a pet, person or vehicle and can also follow it. Then goes back to the starting position. You receive notifications quickly and the camera responds quickly.

Very good Pan/Tilt outdoor camera

None. Considering price/quality

Good image quality and WiFi range. My first outdoor camera that I cannot use 'UTP wired'. Can be installed or 'added' in the Tapo App in literally 30 seconds, with which you can also operate the smart lights and other cameras from Tapo (TP-link). The high resolution of 2880 X 1620 or 5 megapixels is especially noticeable when zooming in. This means you miss the lack of an optical zoom less often. The image is sharp and well lit in the dark. Slight deflection of the vertical lines, but this is typical of wide-angle images. Furthermore, an intelligent detection/alarm function with selective notifications according to the observed object. (A.I. beta and upgrades free). No mandatory Cloud Tapo subscription. Tip: Use a fast SDXC memory card between 128 and 512 Gigabytes for reliable storage and availability of the source format.
