  • Includes a fixed 2K lens with a 125° FOV, and a separate 2K pan/tilt lens with 6mm telephoto for sharp, zoomed-in details. Independent lens positioning allows precise monitoring. 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi required.

  • When enabled on the Tapo App, the pan/tilt lens automatically tracks motion detected by the fixed camera, delivering comprehensive surveillance so you never miss a moment.
  • Tap anywhere on the live wide-angle view and the pan/tilt camera will instantly zoom and center the camera on that point.
  • Choose between black-and-white IR, full-color with built-in spotlights, or smart auto mode that switches to color when motion is detected.
  • Store recordings on a microSD card at no cost (up to 512GB, sold separately) or subscribe to Tapo Care's cloud storage.
  • Easily set privacy zones to block recordings in personal areas and define detection zones to receive alerts only from key areas.

I also got one of these last year, the functionality and image quality blows my old Blink setup out of the water.
The app is also significantly better, and onboard SD card storage is great.

The main draw is the fixed cam is wide angle, which has a broad detection area, then the PT lens can focus on any movement. I have mine set up on my power pole and it hits my front driveway, whole house, and barn in one shot. It would take 3-4 of the single ones to cover the same area.

The single cam ones are $25. Besides easier wiring, is there any advantage of buying the Dual one vs 2 of the single pan/tilt/NV/Light?

Amazing camera! I wanted it for its alarm feature since my eufy cameras cannot tell the difference between a person, animal or a moving object like a car. I've had the alarm feature on in my driveway to detect "humans" for two nights straight and so far, no false alarms. I also ordered a hub for H200, and will be using that to store the videos rather than having the SD card inside the camera, which can be damaged or stolen. I love this $25 camera (black) and will be ordering a few more to setup around the house. I have wired cameras already but they are far to dumb, and these are much better to add for alarm in case someone shows up at 2am to 5am doing shady stuff, which has happened right in front of my house before.

Great image quality, cool dual camera option especially at this price point. but AI is poor. My old google/nest outdoor camera always notified about raccoons, cats, skunks, opossums and my dog in the backyard all the time, while this almost never does especially at night. Human tracking is definitely better.
also, remember you are going to need micro sd card and 128gb might run close to the same price as the camera itself.

Anything is an improvement over wyze and their paywalls

but yes. This is an ultra wide and a PT camera, not just 2 stacked identical lenses.

You also paid for that ability in a subscription.
