Data from Amazon and official Reolink and TP-Link sites.

2026 verdict

Vandal-proof PoE 4K coverage is the Reolink Duo 2V PoE's win over Tapo's indoor cam.

Winner

Reolink Duo 2V PoE

$159.99

Buy on Amazon USA

It takes this security camera pairing on weather resistance, PoE, 2K, 4K, color night vision and a wider alert set, using dual lenses for a 180 degree outdoor view from one IP67 body. The TP-Link Tapo C100 is still the cheaper indoor camera, and it is the one with a microSD-plus-cloud storage mix that does not need Ethernet. Run PoE for the Reolink Duo 2V PoE when one panoramic outdoor camera should replace two; keep the TP-Link Tapo C100 for a tiny indoor view on Wi-Fi.
