2026 verdict
The Ring Outdoor Cam Plus sweeps this comparison on ratings, weather resistance, 2K video, color night vision, privacy zones and its siren against the TP-Link Kasa EC70.
It records 2K outdoors on a rechargeable battery, is weather sealed, records colour footage at night, includes a siren and privacy zones and keeps recording during a power cut, with Alexa, Home Assistant and IFTTT support. The TP-Link Kasa EC70 is much cheaper, carries a 2-year warranty against 1 year and wins on storage, recording 24/7 and event history to a microSD card at no cost, with an indoor pan-and-tilt base and Google Home and Alexa support, though it records 1080p in black and white at night, has no siren or privacy zones and puts person alerts behind a subscription. Buy the Ring Outdoor Cam Plus for outdoor 2K coverage, and the TP-Link Kasa EC70 for cheap indoor coverage with free recording.
