Tapo, one of TP-Link's two smart home brands, is continuing to expand its footprint in the home security camera space with the announcement of the $39.99 Tapo C120. This pint-size smart home camera fits in the palm of your hand and can be used indoors or out, thanks to IP66 weatherproofing rating. It's due to be released on November 13th.
Small smart security cameras aren't new - Wyze and Blink both have offerings of a similar size for under $100 - but TP-Link's new camera crams a lot of features into a small package for under $40. A wired camera, it has 2K video, local storage with an onboard microSD card, free AI-powered person detection, and an easy-to-use magnetic mount.
