Tapo’s new security camera proves that two lenses are better than one – and there’s no subscription fees
Tapo quietly launches its dual lens pan/tilt security camera
QUICK SUMMARY
Tapo has launched its C575D 4K Outdoor Security Camera, featuring two lenses with pan/tilt functionality.
Priced at £188.99, the Tapo C575D 4K Outdoor Security Camera can monitor two separate areas at the same time, and comes with free AI detection features.
Tapo has quietly launched its latest outdoor security camera, and it comes with one (or two, I suppose) of my favourite features. The new Tapo C575D 4K Outdoor Security Camera offers wider views and fuller monitoring than before, thanks to its dual lenses.
A new trend that’s begun to emerge in the world of security cameras is having two lenses in one device. Both indoor and outdoor models are adopting this design, which tends to feature one camera on top of the other.
The Tapo C575D 4K Outdoor Security Camera is no exception, as it comes with two 4K dual lenses in one device. With one larger camera sitting on top of a smaller one, the Tapo C575D 4K Outdoor Security Camera can monitor two separate areas at the same time.
The top camera of the Tapo C575D 4K Outdoor Security Camera is a wide-angle lens which offers 170° views and works to eliminate blind spots. It can also be manually adjusted to cover more areas. The bottom camera is an 8mm telephoto lens with motorised pan/tilt views – and this is the lens you should be most excited about.
Not only does the bottom lens move side to side and up and down, but it also supports up to 18x digital zoom. So, when the top camera detects events, the bottom lens automatically pivots and zooms in to follow the movement.
For clarity in all lighting conditions, the Tapo C575D 4K Outdoor Security Camera offers smart night vision. Users can view footage in full colour with spotlights, or black and white infrared. There’s also a smart mode that uses AI light detection to make your camera resolution clearer during the nighttime.
Speaking of AI, the Tapo C575D 4K Outdoor Security Camera comes with free AI detection. When the camera detects people, pets and vehicles, it’ll send you notifications in the Tapo app – and there’s no subscription required.
As you’d expect from an outdoor camera, the Tapo C575D 4K Outdoor Security Camera is weather resistant. It also has Wi-Fi 6 dual band or ethernet connectivity, and there’s an option to add PoE technology to keep your connection stable.
The Tapo C575D 4K Outdoor Security Camera is available to buy for £188.99 at Tapo.
