Product details
The TP-Link Tapo C420S2 is a network-capable model that connects via RJ45 network cable for outdoor use. If you want to monitor an outdoor area, the TP-Link Tapo C420S2 is recommended. Infrared light allows the model to record videos even in darkness. The infrared illumination is reflected outside the visible spectrum, making people and objects easily recognizable. The length of the infrared beams determines how far the monitoring device can detect in the dark, specifying the distance in meters at which individuals can be detected. For the TP-Link Tapo C420S2, this distance is indicated as 15 meters. The IP camera is accessed through the computer network, allowing you to use a web interface to make settings or operate the device. This surveillance device is dustproof and weather-resistant, making it suitable for outdoor installation. Durability is a significant quality feature for an outdoor model to ensure resistance to various environmental influences. The IP rating indicates the device's resistance capabilities against the environment, with the Tapo C420S2 rated at IP65. A high rating indicates how well the camera is protected against dust and water. The TP-Link Tapo C420S2 boasts a high-resolution of 2560 x 1440 pixels, providing clear images in high resolution. Even the smallest details, such as faces, license plates, or clothing details, can be seen in an enlarged video segment. If medium to high-capacity storage is available, you can also archive longer monitoring periods. The surveillance device is capable of responding appropriately to predefined events. When such an event occurs, it is recorded, saved, and further actions can be taken, such as triggering an alarm.

The TP-Link Tapo C420S2 smart home set is a good solution for anyone looking for a flexible security solution for outdoor use. The surveillance cameras and hub not only impress with their good build quality. You also get good image quality with a sharp QHD resolution. However, I would have liked more than 20 fps for the moving images...
- High resolution, top picture quality
- Power supply via rechargeable battery or micro USB cable
- Connection of the hub via Ethernet (100MBit/s) or WLAN (Wi-Fi 4)
- Storage locally via microSD or optionally (plan) in the cloud
- Motion detection with zones as standard
- Quite loud sound alarm
- Cheapest camera set tested
- Reliable motion detection
- Video recordings somewhat dark and spongy
- Colours often pale
TP-Link makes smart outdoor surveillance particularly affordable. The set of 2 costs less than 200 euros. The test winner doesn't even have a camera for that. The video quality isn't great, but it's okay for the price. And: thanks to the base station for local recordings, you don't necessarily need a monthly subscription for cloud storage.

- QHD resolution with good picture quality
- Motion detection differentiates between people, vehicles and pets
- Expansion to a smart home possible
- Support for Amazon Alexa, Google Assistant and IFTTT
- local storage
- Easy commissioning and control
