Updated October 2026
Data from the official Reolink and TP-Link sites.
2026 verdict
The Reolink RLC-810A sweeps this comparison on ratings, weather resistance, 2K and 4K video, RTSP, alerts, privacy zones and its siren against the TP-Link Kasa EC70.
It records 4K outdoors under IP67 sealing, stores footage on microSD with no cloud service, streams RTSP into a network video recorder or Home Assistant, detects people, animals and vehicles on device and carries a 2-year warranty. The TP-Link Kasa EC70 is much cheaper and wins on storage flexibility and two-way talk, offering indoor pan and tilt coverage with free 24/7 microSD recording, a speaker for conversation the Reolink lacks, and Google Home and Alexa support, though it records 1080p, has no siren, no RTSP and no Home Assistant integration, with person alerts behind a subscription. Buy the Reolink RLC-810A for serious 4K outdoor coverage, and the TP-Link Kasa EC70 for a cheap indoor camera that pans and talks.
