Ring Indoor Cam Plus vs TP-Link Tapo C100

The TP-Link Tapo C100 wins overall: far cheaper, a 2-year warranty, free microSD recording, RTSP, a light, a siren and free people and baby-crying alerts. The Ring Indoor Cam Plus is better rated with 2K HDR and color night vision.

Image quality against running costs. The Ring records 2K with HDR and colour at night, while the Tapo records 1080p in black and white but stores everything free on a card and streams RTSP.

The Ring Indoor Cam Plus does for any recorded video and for person alerts. The TP-Link Tapo C100 records locally to microSD for free and detects people and baby crying on device.

Only the TP-Link Tapo C100, which includes both a siren and a light. The Ring Indoor Cam Plus has neither, relying on alerts and two-way talk through the Ring app.

Buy the TP-Link Tapo C100 if you want the cheapest indoor camera with free microSD recording, RTSP, motion and privacy zones, a light, a siren, people and baby-crying alerts and a 2-year warranty.

Buy the Ring Indoor Cam Plus if image quality matters most indoors, with 2K HDR video, color night vision, two-way talk and motion and privacy zones inside Ring's ecosystem.
