Updated August 2026

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

2026 verdict

The Ring Outdoor Cam wins on ratings, weather resistance, color night vision, privacy zones and its siren against the TP-Link Kasa EC70. It is weather sealed and battery powered so it can be mounted anywhere outside, sees in colour at night, supports privacy zones as well as motion zones, includes a siren and keeps recording events during a power cut, working with Alexa, Home Assistant and IFTTT. The TP-Link Kasa EC70 is 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 a motorised base that pans and tilts across a room and Google Home and Alexa support, though it is indoor only, black and white at night, has no siren and keeps person alerts behind a subscription. Buy the Ring Outdoor Cam for outdoor coverage, and the TP-Link Kasa EC70 for cheap indoor pan-and-tilt with free recording.
