2026 verdict
The TP-Link Tapo C100 wins on price, warranty, RTSP, privacy zones and its siren against the Wyze Cam OG.
It is the cheaper camera, carries a 2-year warranty against 1 year, streams RTSP into Home Assistant or a network video recorder, supports privacy zone masking, includes a siren and detects people and baby crying for free, all with microSD recording that keeps 24/7 and offline history at no cost. The Wyze Cam OG answers with weather resistance, color night vision and a broader alert list, since it is IP65 sealed for outdoor use and lights the scene with a spotlight, though its person, package, vehicle and face detection all require a Wyze subscription. Both work with Google Home, Alexa, Home Assistant and IFTTT and both record 1080p on 2.4GHz Wi-Fi. Buy the TP-Link Tapo C100 for indoor value with RTSP and free detection, and the Wyze Cam OG for outdoor use with colour at night.
