The Tapo C520WS is a powerful outdoor pan/tilt Wi-Fi security camera built for full-perimeter protection.
With 2K QHD (2560 × 1440) resolution, it delivers 1.7× more detail than standard 1080p cameras. The large F1.6 aperture lens and starlight sensor produce brighter, clearer full-color images at night — even in low-light environments.
Its motorized pan and tilt system provides 360° horizontal coverage and 130° vertical viewing, eliminating blind spots around your home or business.
Advanced AI detection distinguishes between people, pets, and vehicles to reduce false alerts. Built-in spotlights and a customizable audio alarm actively deter unwanted visitors.
