Compact weatherproof 2K camera

The TP-Link Tapo C120 is a wireless IP camera rated IP66 for indoor or outdoor mounting. It connects over 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi using IEEE 802.11b/g/n and records 2K QHD video at 2560 x 1440 resolution. A magnetic base and 9.8 ft power cord give flexible placement options.

4 MP sensor with local storage headroom

The 1/2.9 inch Starlight CMOS sensor captures 4 MP frames at up to 20 fps with a 120° diagonal field of view. Color night vision is supported by dual spotlights and the Starlight sensor. A microSD slot accepts cards up to 512 GB for continuous local recording without a subscription.

Upgrades basic 1080p models with AI alerts

Moving from a standard 1080p camera adds 2K detail, color low-light imaging and free on-device person, pet and vehicle detection. The jump is worthwhile when you need clearer identification at distance or want to reduce false motion alerts without paying for cloud AI plans. Buyers who require 5 GHz Wi-Fi, wired Ethernet or pan-and-tilt movement should look elsewhere.

Questions about this item

Will the 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi connection handle the 2560 x 1440 stream alongside older 802.11g devices on the same router?

The camera uses 802.11n at up to 72.2 Mbps on 2.4 GHz, so the 20 fps 2K feed fits within that bandwidth while legacy 802.11g clients share the airtime at 54 Mbps.

How can I verify the Starlight sensor is actually delivering colour night vision after I mount the camera?

Open the live view after dark; if the scene shows full colour without the two spotlights turning on, the 1/2.9" Starlight sensor is operating as designed.

Does the box include a microSD card for the 512 GB slot, or do I need to buy one separately?

The package contains the camera, a magnetic mount and a 9.8 ft power cord; a microSD card up to 512 GB must be purchased separately.
