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

2026 verdict

The Ring Outdoor Cam Plus sweeps this comparison on ratings, weather resistance, 2K video, color night vision, its light, privacy zones and its siren against the TP-Link Kasa EC70. It records 2K outdoors on a rechargeable battery, is weather sealed, lights the scene for 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.
