2026 verdict
Upgrading a cheap indoor camera to something that also watches outside, the TP-Link Tapo C710 is the obvious step over the TP-Link Tapo C100.
It adds an IP65 weatherproof body, 2K video, color night vision and a dimmable 1,500-lumen floodlight, and it pans 360 degrees and tilts 140, where the smaller model is a fixed indoor camera. The TP-Link Tapo C100 keeps the lower price, a longer 2-year warranty and a genuinely tiny footprint, and it is still the better value for watching one room. Both record to a microSD card with no subscription, both expose RTSP, and both work with Alexa, Google Home and Home Assistant. Pick the TP-Link Tapo C710 to cover the outdoors with light and 2K, and the TP-Link Tapo C100 to cover a single room for as little as possible.

Which one to buy if

The TP-Link Tapo C710 is IP65 and built for an outdoor wall; the Tapo C100 is indoor-only.

- you want 2K and color night vision
The TP-Link Tapo C710 records 2K with color night vision; the Tapo C100 tops out at 1080p black-and-white.
- you need to look around the area remotely

What owners say
Owners of the TP-Link Tapo C100 are unanimous about the price: they are surprised at the 1080p picture for the money and often come back to buy two or three more. Setup through the Tapo app is called quick, and owners highlight the clear day image, usable night vision, reliable motion alerts with phone notifications, two-way talk and a built-in siren. Support for RTSP and Home Assistant on such a cheap camera is a repeated plus, and several report running the same unit for years. Their warnings are the expected ones: there is no built-in storage, so a microSD card is needed to record, the view is fixed with no pan or tilt, and it is a 2.4GHz-only indoor camera.
