Description
- 2K QHD Live View : Adopting 2560×1440 resolution, Tapo C520WS provides 1.7× more pixels and delivers sharper images than 1080p.
- Starlight Color Night Vision : By adopting F1.6 large aperture lens and starlight sensor, Tapo C520WS captures more light and has higher photosensitivity, resulting in brighter colors in low light conditions than full color night vision cameras with F2.2 lens and ordinary sensor.
- 360° Visual Coverage: Provides 360° horizontal and 130° vertical viewing range, allowing you to focus on more vital areas and eliminate blind spots.
- Free People, Pets and Vehicle Detection: Intelligent AI identifies people, pets and vehicles and notifies users as needed.
- Customizable Sound & Light Alarm - Record your own audio as an alarm to expand its uses. Ultra-bright and adjustable light is also supported to scare away unwanted visitors.
