Tapo C530WS Outdoor Pan/Tilt Wi-Fi Security Camera | 3K 5MP, Starlight Color Night Vision, 360° Coverage, Wi-Fi 6 & Ethernet, IP66
3K clarity meets full 360° outdoor coverage. The Tapo C530WS records in 5MP (2880 × 1620) with a starlight sensor for vivid color night vision, pans 360° and tilts 130°, and connects via Wi-Fi 6 (2.4 GHz) or Ethernet — with dual high-performance antennas reaching up to 150 m (492 ft) in open areas. Free AI detection identifies people, pets, vehicles, line-crossing, and tampering with no subscription required.
3K 5MP Resolution with 12× Digital Zoom
Nearly three times the detail of 1080p. Spot faces, licence plates, and fine text across driveways and gardens. Zoom in up to 12× digitally for a closer look at anything the camera captures.
Starlight Color Night Vision (up to 30 m / 98 ft)
A starlight CMOS sensor paired with dual built-in spotlights produces bright, full-color footage in low light. In smart mode, the camera switches from black-and-white IR to color automatically when a person is detected.
360° Pan & 130° Tilt — Zero Blind Spots
The motorised lens covers a full 360° horizontal sweep and 130° vertical range. Set patrol mode to cruise automatically among multiple custom waypoints, or adjust the view remotely from the Tapo app.
Smart Motion Tracking
When motion is detected, the camera follows the moving subject to keep it centred in frame.
Comprehensive Free AI Detection — No Subscription
On-device AI identifies people, pets, and vehicles, and includes line-crossing and tamper detection. Real-time push notifications are sent only when specific objects are detected. Set customisable activity zones to focus on the areas that matter. No monthly fees.
Wi-Fi 6 + Ethernet — Flexible, Reliable Connectivity
Connect wirelessly via Wi-Fi 6 (802.11ax, 2.4 GHz) with dual external antennas for extended range, or plug in via the built-in 10/100 Mbps Ethernet port for a rock-solid wired connection. Supports WPA3 for stronger wireless security.
Physical Privacy Mode
One tap physically blocks the lens behind the camera housing — a mechanical cover, not just a software shutter.
Customisable Sound & Light Alarm
Record your own warning message, adjust dual-spotlight intensity, and trigger a 93 dB siren to deter intruders — all from the app.
Two-Way Audio with Noise Cancellation
Built-in mic and speaker let you communicate with visitors, delivery riders, or family in real time.
IP66 Weatherproof — Built for Extremes
Handles rain, dust, and heat. Operates from −30 °C to 60 °C for reliable year-round outdoor use.
Flexible Mounting — Wall, Ceiling, or Pole
Mounts on a wall or ceiling with the included bracket. For pole mounting, add optional mounting loops (sold separately).
Flexible Storage
Save recordings locally on a microSD card (up to 512 GB, sold separately) — up to 368 hours of 3K 5MP footage on a 512 GB card. Or subscribe to Tapo Care cloud storage for 30-day video history with snapshot notifications.
Works with Your Smart Home
Compatible with Amazon Alexa and Google Assistant. Supports RTSP and ONVIF for third-party NVR integration.
