Don’t Just See the Night—See it in Full Color
The Tapo C320WS is a revolution in outdoor security, delivering stunning 4MP 2K QHD (2560×1440) resolution, which is double the detail of standard 1080p. Its most powerful feature is its ability to turn night into day. Using advanced sensors and two built-in spotlights, it provides brilliant, Full-Color Night Vision, allowing you to see crucial details like clothing or car colors, even in pitch-black conditions.
AI That’s Smart, Not Annoying
Stop getting alerts for falling leaves or stray cats. The C320WS features on-board AI Person Detection, which intelligently identifies human shapes and notifies you of relevant threats, drastically reducing false alarms.
An Active Guard for Your Home
This camera doesn’t just watch; it actively protects. When an intruder is detected, you can trigger the Active Defense system. This will set off a loud siren and flash the bright strobe spotlights to scare away any unwanted visitors. Furthermore, the built-in Two-Way Audio allows you to hear and speak to anyone on your property, whether it’s greeting a visitor or warning off a trespasser.
Flexible Connectivity, Total Reliability
Install it your way. The C320WS features two high-performance Wi-Fi antennas for a stable, long-range wireless connection. For locations with a weaker signal, it also includes an RJ45 Ethernet port for a rock-solid, wired connection to your network.
How It Works
- Get the App: Download the free TP-Link Tapo app on your smartphone.
- Mount & Power: Securely mount the camera to an outdoor wall. This is a plug-in camera, so you will need to run the included 12V power adapter to a nearby (preferably weatherproof) power outlet.
- Connect: Follow the simple in-app steps to connect the camera to your 2.4GHz Wi-Fi network or plug in an Ethernet cable.
- View & Store: You can now view a live feed from anywhere. To record video, you must install a MicroSD card (sold separately) or subscribe to the Tapo Care cloud service.
What It’s Good For
- Driveway & Car Monitoring: The 4MP QHD resolution and Color Night Vision are perfect for capturing license plates and car details.
- Patios & Back Gardens: The Active Defense siren and spotlights are excellent for deterring intruders.
- Front Door / Porch: Use Two-Way Talk to greet visitors or instruct delivery drivers.
- Any Area Needing High Detail: The 4MP sensor is a significant upgrade for identifying faces and objects at a distance.
