2026 verdict
The TP-Link Tapo C200 wins on price, ratings, warranty, RTSP, privacy zones and its siren against the Wyze Cam OG.
It costs less, carries a 2-year warranty against 1 year, pans 360 degrees while tilting 114, streams RTSP into Home Assistant or a network video recorder, supports privacy zone masking, includes a light and a siren and detects people, animals and baby crying for free, all with microSD recording at no cost. The Wyze Cam OG answers with IP65 weather sealing, colour night vision from its spotlight and a broader alert list covering packages, vehicles and faces, though every one of those smart alerts requires a Wyze subscription. Both record 1080p on 2.4GHz Wi-Fi and both work with Google Home, Alexa, Home Assistant and IFTTT. Buy the TP-Link Tapo C200 for indoor value with free detection, and the Wyze Cam OG when the camera has to sit outside.
