This tiny 2K security camera fell under $30 — grab it while you can

Worried about keeping an eye on your home while you’re on vacation or simply away at work? A security camera can give you peace of mind.

And with the TP-Link Tapo C120 currently on sale for just $29, there’s really no excuse not to grab a few and set them up around your home. This security camera can be used both indoors and outdoors, and it’s now available at its lowest price yet.

The TP-Link Tapo C120 is weatherproof, so it’s perfect for monitoring outside spaces without breaking the bank. The camera has an IP66 weatherproof rating, which means the Tapo C120 can withstand rain, dust, and most else that Mother Nature throws its way.

The camera comes with a magnetic base that makes for easy mounting on metal surfaces. Camera installations are rarely this simple.

The TP-Link Tapo C120 captures video in 2K QHD (2560×1440) resolution for crystal clear details. Even nighttime surveillance footage is great thanks to the integrated Starlight sensor that helps capture colorful video, but the camera also has two integrated spotlights for illuminating important areas that may be extra dark.

Even though the Tapo C120 is a fairly inexpensive camera, it comes with AI-powered detection capabilities. It can tell people, pets, or vehicles apart so you don’t get flooded with unnecessary notifications.

It also has convenient two-way audio. Set one up by your front door so you can chat with delivery personnel or tell neighbors you aren’t home when they come knocking. Or set one up indoors so you can tell your pets off when they misbehave while you’re away from home.

Honestly, $30 is a small price to pay for better home security and peace of mind. The TP-Link Tapo C120 security camera is an incredible value and one of the best ways to watch your home affordably.
