It costs less while recording 2K rather than 1080p, pans 360 degrees while tilting 114, streams RTSP into Home Assistant or a recorder, detects people, animals and baby crying for free, includes a siren and privacy zones and works with Google Home, Alexa, Home Assistant and IFTTT, all under the same 2-year warranty both share. The TP-Link Kasa EC70 also pans and tilts and records 24/7 to microSD for free, but it has no RTSP, no siren, no privacy zones and no Home Assistant support, and its person alerts require a subscription. Both are indoor cameras with black and white night vision. Buy the TP-Link Tapo C210 unless you find the Kasa significantly cheaper on sale.
