Source: GalaxusThe TP-Link Tapo C420S2 smart home set is a good solution for anyone looking for a flexible security solution for outdoor use. The surveillance cameras and hub not only impress with their good build quality. You also get good image quality with a sharp QHD resolution. However, I would have liked more than 20 fps for the moving images...
TP-Link makes smart outdoor surveillance particularly affordable. The set of 2 costs less than 200 euros. The test winner doesn't even have a camera for that. The video quality isn't great, but it's okay for the price. And: thanks to the base station for local recordings, you don't necessarily need a monthly subscription for cloud storage.
