The TP-Link Tapo C100 still wins overall on price, owner rating, a 2-year warranty and privacy zones. It is a compact plug-in indoor camera with people alerts, SmartThings and a privacy zone, aimed at a shelf or desk rather than a porch. The Wyze Cam Pan v3 answers with IP65 weather sealing, color night vision, 360 degree pan and a wider alert catalog. Take the TP-Link Tapo C100 for a cheaper indoor room cam on a longer warranty; take the Wyze Cam Pan v3 when you want to steer the view and park the camera outside.
