Hi guys,

Any suggestions for a good outdoor CCTV camera? It's outdoor but has proper shade to protect from sun and rain. It's the first time I am trying to use a CCTV camera so need suggestions based on the following

  1. Wide angle
  2. Wireless (WiFi connected)
  3. Has internal storage and cloud storage
  4. Good clarity even if it takes a hit on number of hours of storage, if possible.


Thanks in advance.

I have Tapo c210 for indoor and Tapo C320 ws for outdoor . Its satisfactory so far. You can choose resolution as per your budget

Do we have to pay for app? Even to view the feed and not use any cloud storage?

This is good. But won't work if wifi is not connected

How did you manage to get it installed? The built in cable is too short in length for outdoor installation.

@raghupro -  If you are looking for wireless security camera, check out Tapo. Its good. 

Good think about these 'smart', wifi enabled cameras is that you could monitor them on the go using mobile app and also coule easily shift the location.

Overall found few of friends and family using TP Link, also the outdoor ones seemed to be well balanced in terms of performance, durability, app compatibility and value.

As I want all the cameras to be under a single app, opted all from TP Link. Will add 2 more based on performance later.

As these are all outdoor facing, though under a proper RCC roof, I still opted for high endurance micro sd cards to have better longevity during summer heat.
