Adopero da un paio di mesi un’economica telecamera Tapo TP40, acquistata su piazza a 30 euro, che funziona benone malgrado la sua grande semplicità e la filosofia “entry-level”.
Avevo però bisogno di una maggiore risoluzione video ed ho così optato per l’acquisto della TP520WS.
Le due telecamere sono esteticamente identiche, e con l’App Tapo aggiungere l’unità è stato davvero semplice.
Purtroppo, però, NON ho notato grandi miglioramenti nei dettagli video; almeno non tali da giustificare un prezzo quasi tre volte superiore; l’assenza dello zoom ottico – come sulla TP40 – si fa sentire e come: ingrandendo sullo schermo dello smartphone i dettagli continuano ad essere molto, molto sfuocati.
Ho installato la telecamera a 5 metri d’altezza sotto ad uno spiovente, e a 12 metri di distanza con luce diurna una targa auto NON è leggibile.
Bene la visione / registrazione notturna con luce infrarossa, che però mantiene i limiti già descritti.
Rispetto alle TAPO più economiche è presente solo qualche aggiunta nel firmware a bordo con poche funzioni aggiuntive che non adopero neppure.
La 520 è anche immediatamente riconoscibile per le due minuscole antenne montate sui lati esternamente al guscio che fanno sperare in un migliore collegamento alla rete WI-Fi 2,5GHz.
Peccato per la scelta di adoperare alimentatori diversi in base al tipo di telecamera: la TP40 funziona a 12V, questa a 9V (però non potendo rifare il cablaggio continuo ad adoperare l’alimentatore a 12V senza alcun problema, almeno per adesso).
Restano praticamente invariati tutti i pro e i contro delle telecamere Tapo.
PRO:
– Economica.
– Semplice da utilizzare e da installare.
– Ottima App.
– Semplice processo di registrazione su SD in locale.
– Pratica (dovesse servire) funzione di interfono.
CONTRO:
– Assenza dello zoom ottico.
– Ingrandendo molto l’immagine sullo schermo dello smartphone (doppio tap, o con le due dita) si perde
quasi tutta la risoluzione, scendendo a valori addirittura inferiori al segnale video composito (CVBS).
– Assenza di un software per PC/MAC, che ne limita l’utilizzo ai soli smartphone.
– Collegamento WI-FI non sempre stabile ed affidabile, anche con livelli di segnale elevati
– Il grado di protezione IP66 mi lascia molto in dubbio, è decisamente meglio montare la telecamera in
posizione riparata.
– Se i parametri WI-FI cambiano (SSID, Password, eccetera) per riconfigurare la telecamera occorre un
“hard-reset” eseguibile SOLO con un pulsantino cui si accede smontando un coperchietto sull’unità (se
la telecamera è fissata in posizione elevata, magari a 10 metri di altezza, può essere un problema
fastidioso).
– Qualità audio scarsa.
– Assenza di uniformità nell’ alimentazione: 9V anziché 12V
Devo purtroppo segnalare una spedizione Amazon estremamente lenta ed inefficiente: ordine effettuato il 4 novembre, consegnato il 15 novembre: forse un corriere a cavallo avrebbe impiegato meno tempo…

**Review for [C520WS]:**
I’ve been using this camera for 3-4 days now, and I have some insights to share:
1. **Storage**: If you’re considering buying this camera, make sure to get a 256 GB SD card. A 128 GB card won’t be sufficient for 7 days of continuous footage. Depending on the level of activity and motion sensing, the camera might stop and loop video recording after 5-6 days.
2. **Connectivity**: The camera requires a stable Wi-Fi connection for optimal performance. Without the internet, the camera might get confused at times. However, the video recording quality is excellent with no complaints. The AI tracking and notifications are also very reliable.
3. **Power Supply**: The camera needs a 9-volt DC power supply, but you can use a 12-volt 0.5-amp adaptor at your own risk. The Ethernet port is not PoE (Power over Ethernet), and the camera is waterproof. For continuous operation during power cuts, consider using a 9-volt power bank designed for routers, which you can find on Amazon.
4. **Features**: All features work well without a Tapo subscription, except for rich notifications, which require a subscription. If you’re looking for a 360-degree outdoor camera, this is an excellent choice. I’m extremely satisfied with it. However, I’m unsure about Tapo’s customer service quality since the nearest service center is 200 km away from my home, and there aren’t many service centers available.
5. **Streaming and Audio**: The network connectivity is good, with no delay in live streaming. The sound quality is decent, but the speaker quality is poor—it’s almost silent when trying to communicate with others through the camera.
6. **Resolution**: The camera comes with a default resolution of 720p, which you can change to 2K for better clarity.
7. **Wired Connection**: The camera can work with an RJ45 cable without Wi-Fi, but remember, the Ethernet port is not PoE.
Overall, if you need a reliable 360-degree outdoor camera, I highly recommend this one. Despite some minor issues, I’m extremely satisfied with its performance.

I did a lot of research(many hours n days) and this is the best selection in the category for the price. Spend a little extra and get this one for what you get in return.
Installation:- I have installed it outside my Apartment main door(covered corridor) which receives different amount of lights during various times of the day. The power adapter cord is long and i keep the adapter plugged inside the apartment with the wire going outside through my doorbell drill hole(nobody can cut power supply) The installation was smooth, and easy. You can install it on the wall or ceiling, whichever provides the best view as per your layout. I used a junction box to roll n pack extra wire, and lock the connectors(nobody can disconnect outside).
Initial Configuration: Easy through TaPo app. Has a simple guided step by step built in the app.
Coverage & View: Provides a broad range- horizontal & vertical, as per specs. Pan & tilt feature is amazing. Can use it live sitting across thousands of kilometeres via the mobile app while watching live feed.
Camera Performance- The 2k QHD 25fps picture quality is great, two way communication with speaker and mic are on point, motion detection, person detection are accurate with immediate notifications and very importantly the Tapo App by TP-Link is the best out there amongst all the security camera apps, both in terms of features and ease of use.
WiFi Connectivity- This is very important point which people often ignore. My Fast WiFi router is near the apartment main door, and hence 2.4GHz signals are very strong n stable, for optimum performance and interaction through App.
Mobile App Performance: The Tapo App by TP-Link is the best out there amongst all the security camera apps, both in terms of features and ease of use. Actually it should be advertised as much as product itself. It is miles ahead.
Spotlight: It does a good job.
Low light/Night performance- It’s low light detection and automatic switching to mode is good.
Storage & Recording: I am using “Sandisk 256GB High Endurance Video microSDXC card” with this, for local storage. Important point:- Storage cards for any security cameras are different than one for your mobiles. This one is designed for it.(You can check TP-Link Product page for the list).
Updates: Reliable and timely firmware as well as app updates.
Other important features: Raise Alarm Feature, Tamper Alarm on detection, pet detection, vehicle detection, Line crossing detection, patrolling mode – the feature list available for this specific camera in TaPo app is amazing. You can choose what you want to enable.
Go for it !

I opted to attach mine via the cable tie to a pole option as this was easiest for me to do. Setting up was just as easy and using the app is really simple. I’ve had to make some adjustments to my notifications to suit my needs. I am extremely impressed with the quality of the footage including the nighttime vision. I’ve connected mine via WiFi, I have a memory card plus the Tapo care package for cloud storage just as I wanted a backup option. For the cost its functionality is very good and is great value for money. I had done extensive research and pleased it paid off. Compared to some professional CCTV footage I’ve seen this is a very good overall product.

Screws are too small and slip out of plastic wall pins easily. If you mount it to wall/ceiling, need to purchase thicker screws to actually hold camera in place, otherwise it simply falls off.
