Popular security camera TP-Link Tapo C520WS dropped to its lowest price. Now it costs less than a thousand.

If you are looking for a reliable outdoor camera, we have an interesting tip for you. The TP-Link Tapo C520WS, which according to Heureka is the second most popular camera on the Czech market, is now available at its historically lowest price of 990 CZK. Compared to its usual price of 1,599 CZK, you save a full 609 CZK, which represents a discount of 38%. For this amount, you get a camera with 2K QHD resolution, color night vision, and advanced AI detection.

Top resolution and color night vision

The Tapo C520WS offers 2K QHD resolution (2560 × 1440 pixels), which provides 1.7× more pixels than standard Full HD cameras. This allows you to capture sharper details, which you will appreciate when identifying people or license plates. A big plus is the color night vision with a Starlight sensor and an f/1.6 aperture lens. While most cameras in this price category offer only black and white night vision, the Tapo C520WS can display a color image even in low light.

The camera covers an area of 360° horizontally and 130° vertically, aiming to eliminate blind spots. You can control the motorized rotation directly from the mobile app, or use the automatic motion tracking function, where the camera itself rotates to follow the tracked object.

Intelligent AI detection for free

Unlike many competitors, the Tapo C520WS offers advanced AI detection of people, pets, and vehicles completely free of charge. The camera can recognize whether a person, dog, cat, or car is moving in front of the lens and notify you accordingly. This allows you to set it up so that the camera doesn’t bother you with every bird flying by, but alerts you when an unknown vehicle approaches your home.

An adjustable sound and light alarm is also available, which can deter an unwanted visitor. You can record your own voice message into the camera or use two-way audio to communicate with people in front of the camera.

Durable design and flexible connectivity

With IP66 certification, the camera is fully protected against dust and heavy rain, so you can mount it outdoors without worries. You can connect it either via Wi-Fi (two powerful antennas ensure a stable signal up to 150 meters in open space) or classically via an Ethernet cable.

You can store recordings locally on a microSD card up to 512 GB, which corresponds to approximately 680 hours of recording in 2K quality. Alternatively, you can use Tapo Care cloud storage with a 30-day free trial.

Comparison with other outdoor cameras

As can be seen from the table, the Tapo C520WS offers a fantastic price-to-performance ratio with the current discount. For 990 CZK, you get features that you would only find in competitors’ products in price categories above 1,500 CZK. The closest competitor, Arenti OP1, costs 200 CZK more and does not have such advanced AI detection. The Xiaomi CW400 model is 599 CZK more expensive and lacks animal detection. If you wanted higher resolution, you could opt for the Tapo C530WS model, but it costs twice as much.
