Great product. Great features.
Better than bunnings cameras which I'm using. Planning to replace all with this duel camera model. So convenient and better response as well.

At a glance
This wired TP-LINK security camera suits households wanting wider coverage from a single camera indoors or outdoors. Its dual-lens design, pan and tilt movement, smart tracking, and broad AI alerts make it useful for entry points, garages, and family spaces. A key limitation is that it uses 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi only, so it may be less ideal for homes wanting faster dual-band connectivity.
What it’s great for
- Home security
- Entry monitoring
- Verandah surveillance
- Garage monitoring
- Pet monitoring
- Family home alerts
Where it works best
- Front entry
- Backyard
- Verandah
- Garage
- Nursery
- Living areas
Who it’s for
- Homeowner
- Renter
- Family household
- Pet owner

Things to consider
It offers strong coverage and detection features, but premium models may provide higher-resolution recording, broader smart home platform support, or more advanced local storage and networking options.
Smart home integration score
8/10 - Works with Amazon Alexa, Google Assistant, and Samsung SmartThings for convenient voice control and live viewing.
Night vision performance
8/10 - Strong night coverage with 850 nm infrared up to 12 m plus colour night vision for better detail after dark.
Outdoor weather suitability
8/10 - IP65 weather-resistant design makes it suitable for covered and exposed outdoor areas around the home.
Pet & package monitoring fit
Well suited to pet and entry monitoring thanks to pet detection, person alerts, vehicle detection, and dual-lens visibility around drop-off zones.
Installation ease
8/10 - Flexible tabletop, wall, ceiling, or pole mounting makes setup easier in a range of indoor and outdoor locations.
Key benefits
- Dual-Lens Coverage: Monitors two areas at once to reduce blind spots around entrances and shared spaces.
- Pan/Tilt Tracking: Automatically follows moving subjects after detection for better awareness of activity across the scene.
- Wide-Angle and Telephoto Viewing: Combines a 125° field of view with a 6 mm telephoto lens for both broader context and closer detail.
- Indoor and Outdoor Flexibility: IP65 weather resistance supports placement in exposed areas such as verandahs, garages, and entryways.
- Smart Night Vision: Offers both infrared night vision up to 12 m and colour night vision for clearer after-dark monitoring.
- Broad AI Alerts: Detects motion, people, pets, vehicles, line crossing, baby crying, glass breaking, dog barking, cat meowing, and tampering.
- Two-Way Audio: Lets you speak with visitors or family members through the camera with noise cancellation for clearer communication.
- Flexible Storage Options: Supports local microSD storage up to 512 GB or optional cloud backup through Tapo Care.
Q: Does this camera need a Tapo Care subscription to record footage
A: No. TP-Link TAPO-C246D can record locally when a microSD card of 512GB or less is installed, or you can use Tapo Care cloud storage instead. Local storage suits buyers who want ongoing recording without adding a cloud plan.
Q: Is the TP-Link Tapo C246D battery powered or mains powered
A: TP-Link TAPO-C246D is mains powered, not battery powered. It uses Wi-Fi for the connection but still needs a nearby power point, so it suits fixed indoor spots or outdoor positions where a power cable can be routed neatly.
Q: Will it work on 5GHz Wi-Fi or only 2.4GHz
A: No. TP-Link TAPO-C246D connects on 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi only. That band usually reaches further through walls than 5 GHz, but a 5 GHz-only network will need a dual-band router or a separate 2.4 GHz network name for setup.
Q: Can the two lenses watch different areas at the same time
A: Yes. TP-Link TAPO-C246D uses a fixed wide-angle lens and a pan and tilt telephoto lens, so one unit can cover a broader scene while also focusing on a tighter area. It reduces blind spots, but it is still one camera position.
Q: How well does colour night vision work outside after dark
A: TP-Link TAPO-C246D supports both colour night vision and infrared night viewing. Infrared is the more dependable option in very dark areas, while colour night vision works best where there is some ambient light or the spotlight can assist.
Q: Does it show live video on Alexa or Google screens
A: Yes. TP-Link TAPO-C246D works with Amazon Alexa and Google Assistant for live viewing, and it also supports Samsung SmartThings. Voice control helps for quick checks, but setup and most camera settings still happen in the Tapo app.
Q: Can this camera handle exposed outdoor areas like verandahs and garages
A: Yes. TP-Link TAPO-C246D has an IP65 weather-resistant design for indoor or outdoor use. It suits exposed areas such as verandahs, garages and entry points, but it still needs a suitable powered location rather than a wire-free install.
