The Kasa is cheaper, carries a 2-year warranty against 1 year, records 24/7 and event history to a microSD card at no cost, adds baby-crying detection and works with Google Home and Alexa. The Ring Pan-Tilt Indoor Cam is better rated and offers color night vision and privacy zones the Kasa lacks, with two-way talk, motion zones and Ring's app plus Home Assistant and IFTTT support, but it stores nothing locally, so every recording and person alert needs a Ring subscription. Both record 1080p on 2.4GHz Wi-Fi and both rotate to cover a room. Buy the TP-Link Kasa EC70 for free recording and a longer warranty, and the Ring Pan-Tilt Indoor Cam for colour night vision and Ring's ecosystem.
