TP-Link Tapo C120

One camera, two possible jobs. A camera bought for the front door can be useless if it cannot be placed where power and Wi-Fi actually reach. Tapo C120 is a wired indoor/outdoor 2K camera, so the installation question matters before the feature list.

Is it worth buying?

What it does well: 2K video, indoor/outdoor placement, local microSD option and app alerts. It is a lower-cost way to test a specific monitoring need.

Check before buying: It needs continuous power and 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi. A microSD card is separate; cloud history needs a plan. Check local privacy rules and avoid pointing it at neighbours or public areas.
