Tapo C260 Pan/Tilt AI Indoor Wi-Fi Security Camera | 4K 8MP, Face Recognition, 18× Zoom, Physical Privacy Mode
4K clarity meets intelligent face recognition. The Tapo C260 is a pan/tilt indoor Wi-Fi camera that records in 8MP ultra-high definition, recognises familiar and unfamiliar faces on-device, and gives you full 360° room coverage — all with dual-band Wi-Fi for a more reliable connection.
4K 8MP Ultra-Clear Video
Capture every detail in sharp 3840 × 2160 resolution. Zoom in up to 18× digitally to read labels, identify faces, and spot fine details from across the room.
Human Face Recognition (Free, On-Device)
The built-in AI learns and tags family, friends, and strangers — no cloud upload needed. Get alerts only when an unfamiliar face appears, retrieve events by person, and manage identities from the Tapo app. Up to 99% accuracy with all processing done locally for privacy.
360° Pan & 116° Tilt
Motorised lens covers the entire room with smooth, responsive movement. Adjust the view remotely or let smart tracking handle it automatically.
Smart Motion Tracking
When activity is detected, the camera follows moving people and pets to keep them in frame — so you never miss what matters.
Free Smart AI Detection & Alerts
Detects people, pets, vehicles, baby crying, cat meowing, dog barking, and glass breaking. Set customisable activity zones to reduce false alerts. No subscription required.
Physical Privacy Mode
One tap in the Tapo app physically blocks the lens behind the camera housing — not just a software shutter, but a mechanical cover for true peace of mind.
Enhanced Night Vision up to 12 m (40 ft)
A Starlight CMOS sensor paired with IR LEDs delivers clearer footage in low light compared to standard sensors.
Sound & Light Alarm
Trigger a 90 dB siren and flashing alert to deter intruders directly from the app.
Two-Way Audio with Noise Cancellation
Built-in mic and speaker with noise cancellation let you hold clear conversations through the camera.
Dual-Band Wi-Fi (2.4 GHz & 5 GHz)
Connects on both bands for a more stable, interference-free video stream.
Flexible Storage
Save recordings on a microSD card (up to 512 GB, sold separately) or subscribe to Tapo Care cloud storage for offsite backup.
Works with Your Smart Home
Compatible with Amazon Alexa, Google Assistant, and Samsung SmartThings.
