Buy on Amazon USA
It costs less, streams RTSP into Home Assistant or a network video recorder, detects people, animals and baby crying for free, includes a light, a siren and privacy zones, pans 360 degrees while tilting 114 and works with Google Home, Alexa, Home Assistant and IFTTT under the same 2-year warranty. The TP-Link Kasa EC70 matches it on the basics, with a motorised base, free 24/7 microSD recording and 1080p video, but it has no RTSP, no siren, no privacy zones and no Home Assistant support, and its person alerts sit behind a subscription. Both are indoor cameras with black and white night vision. Buy the TP-Link Tapo C200 unless the Kasa is dramatically cheaper on sale.
