AI-Powered 4K Clarity with Smart Tracking

The C260’s 8MP sensor captures crisp 4K footage with exceptional detail, allowing you to zoom up to 18x digitally while maintaining clarity. The starlight sensor excels in low-light conditions, producing quality images even in challenging lighting. Smart motion tracking automatically follows people and pets when movement is detected, ensuring nothing important escapes your view.

Comprehensive Privacy Protection

Privacy matters with the C260’s physical lens cover that blocks recording with a single tap in the Tapo app. Customisable privacy zones let you exclude specific areas from monitoring, preventing accidental capture of sensitive spaces. All AI processing happens locally on the device, keeping your facial recognition data secure without cloud uploads.

Flexible Storage and Connectivity Options

Choose between local storage with microSD cards (up to 512GB) or Tapo Care cloud services for video recording. The camera supports both 2.4GHz and 5GHz Wi-Fi networks for reliable connectivity. Two-way audio enables clear communication through the built-in microphone and speaker, while compatibility with Amazon Alexa and Google Assistant allows voice control integration.
