The TP-Link Tapo C320WS is a network-capable camera that connects via Wi-Fi, suitable for both indoor and outdoor use. If you want to secure indoor and outdoor areas, the TP-Link Tapo C320WS can assist you. The IP camera is connected to the computer network via an Ethernet cable or wireless LAN. This allows you to access it through a web interface to make settings or operate the surveillance camera.
Motion detection works by analyzing changes in the contrast of closed image areas. By comparing with existing data, it can determine whether living beings, objects, or image discrepancies are responsible for the change. The software can analyze the video footage more accurately. Motion detection is not necessarily applied to the entire property but can be focused on a selected zone.
The surveillance device uses techniques to respond appropriately to predefined situations. When such a situation arises, it is recorded, secured, and can trigger further actions. One option is to sound an alarm, while another is to start recording. However, it does not need to continuously monitor the entire time span but can be reduced to highlighted timestamps. The recordings can then be used directly on the go via a microSD card.
