TP-Link Tapo C100

$17.98$24.9928% OFF

Buy on Amazon USA

The TP-Link Tapo C100 is the overall winner, taking price, a better owner rating, a 2-year warranty, RTSP, a built-in light, customizable motion zones and a privacy zone. The Blink Outdoor 2K+ still owns outdoor video: weather resistance, 2K resolution and color night vision, plus a battery rated up to two years, but smart alerts and most history sit behind a Blink plan and there is no RTSP. Pick the TP-Link Tapo C100 for a cheap indoor camera with local microSD and a privacy zone; pick the Blink Outdoor 2K+ when the camera has to live outside on a long battery.
