Any location
The Tapo C500 PTZ camera offers a wide range of placement options, making it ideal for indoor and outdoor security of the home, property, garage, shop, office and many other objects regardless of the conditions of use and the environment. Included is a universal mounting kit full of screws, templates and loops to quickly and easily install the camera on any wall, ceiling or pole. So it's up to you to decide what type or part of the property to monitor. In addition, the camera body is sufficiently resistant to dust, moisture and water according to the IP65 specification, so it will still serve you just as reliably for a much longer period of time.

More backup options
The Tapo C500 is equipped with a memory slot that supports microSD cards with a maximum capacity of up to 512 GB. Another backup method is Tapo Care cloud storage, which provides unlimited space for your security records. Recorded video is stored in the cloud for 30 days, and then you can view it back using the Tapo mobile app anytime, anywhere. So you get constant access to your footage, even if your camera system is stolen or disconnected.

Black and white night mode
The Tapo C500 security camera sees day and night without the slightest difficulty, as it has a monochrome night mode with a range of up to 30 m. This gives you the reassurance that your property will be safe 24/7, as no important detail will be missed. From the footage taken in night mode, you can thus easily identify character traits, gait features, facial features, tattoos or other key clues that are needed to identify the culprit, convict the perpetrator and then enforce the law.

Person detection and motion tracking
The Tapo C500 uses an AI algorithm for advanced motion detection that can eliminate alarms caused by the movement of animals such as stray cats and dogs. Thus, when people enter the selected area, you will be alerted immediately, while smaller animals will be ignored by the integrated PIR sensor. Also very handy is the ability to select the detection area via Tapo Care, allowing you to fully customize the camera's activity zone.

Practical equipment
The C500 Pivoting Camera also protects your privacy as its lens is physically blocked by a removable cover. This allows you to move freely around your home or office without your personal or business area being invaded in any way. Through the built-in microphone and speaker, you can easily connect with the person standing near the camera. Live previews via the TP-Link Tapo mobile app are useful, for example, for easily accepting and declining visitors, as well as for reassuring pets when you are at work or on the move.
