Security brand Tapo has released a new cam kit, now available for $230<\/a>, and it’s the largest and most powerful security camera<\/a> I’ve seen from the company.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The Tapo C675D kit is a dual-lens camera that upgrades previous models to full 4K resolution for both lenses<\/a>, letting it see nearly anywhere. The large top camera has a 169-degree field of view while the bottom camera can track 360 degrees.<\/p>\n

The camera also comes with\u00a0AI detection<\/a>. That means it can recognize a human, zoom in on the figure, and follow it no matter where it goes (including in the dark, thanks to its night vision).\u00a0<\/p>\n

Those features make the camera especially well suited for the largest yards or for commercial applications, like watching private lots, but that’s only the start of the long list of features on this camera. It also includes a solar panel<\/a> you can connect to the hefty cam. In a sunny spot, that panel can keep the 10,000-mAh battery charged for much longer, so you don’t have to worry about recharging as often.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Tapo’s cameras can go completely subscription free.<\/p>\n

Tapo has long been one of my top picks for smaller, ultra-affordable cameras well under $50. The C675D represents a large departure, as it’s one of the biggest home cams I’ve seen, and starts well over $200 for the full kit. However, other Tapo benefits I like to see still remain, notably the subscription-free options.<\/p>\n

While you can subscribe to cloud storage with this security camera, it also has an onboard slot for a microSD card so you can switch to more private, fee-free local storage. The AI detection features are also all free. However, you’ll want cloud storage for this feature. Otherwise, it will quickly fill up your local storage (and it’s a greater drain on that large battery).\u00a0<\/p>\n

Another new feature that caught my eye was the ability to turn on continuous capture mode. This security mode snaps a picture once every second to every 60 seconds, then shows them all in a daily summary you can access.<\/p>\n

I’ll soon start testing a model of Tapo’s new, powerful camera to see how it functions, but Tapo cameras are typically reliable performers, although on the smaller and lighter side. This line is a major exception for the company, and I’m interested in seeing how the latest performs.\u00a0<\/p>\n
