QUICK SUMMARY
TP-Link has launched its latest security camera, the Tapo C246D Dual Lens 2K Pan Tilt Security Camera. It stands out with its clever dual-lens design, offering wide-angle and telephoto views in one compact camera.
It’s available now in Europe and North America for £84.99/€74.99/$69.99, and buyers can grab it directly from TP-Link or over on Amazon.
The best security cameras usually keep things pretty simple when it comes to design. You might get the occasional solar panel or built-in floodlight, but for the most part, they all follow a similar look. That’s why TP-Link's latest release really caught my eye, and I think it might be my favourite camera design to date.
The Tapo C246D Dual Lens 2K Pan Tilt Security Camera is TP-Link's first model with two 2K 3MP lenses, letting you monitor two different areas of your property at the same time. The upper camera has a wide-angle lens with a 125° field of view, whilst the lower one is a 6mm telephoto that can pan a full 360° and tilt up to 135°. The lower camera can also automatically track movement, adjusting its position to follow people or objects in real time.
It’s available now in Europe and North America for £84.99/€74.99/$69.99, and buyers can grab it directly from TP-Link or over on Amazon.
The C246D is also packed with a variety of night vision features. Users can capture footage in full colour using the built-in spotlights or switch to classic infrared for a more discreet setup. There's also a Smart Mode which decides for you based on lighting conditions.
Storage-wise, it supports up to a 512 GB microSD card (sold separately), or you can opt for cloud storage via a Tapo Care subscription.
