CES 2025 – TP-Link launches Tapo cameras with dual lens, battery and even solar panel

TP-Link created a surprise at CES with its Tapo RV70 Pro Ultra robot capable of recycling water to wash floors without the user having to fill or empty a tank, but the firm also presented some interesting new features on the camera side. Two models particularly caught our attention: the Tapo C6165D and the Tapo C675D Kit. The first must be plugged in while the second works with a battery and a solar panel, but both are based on the same concept: they integrate two lenses, one of which is motorized.

A second camera to extend the monitored area and zoom in on intruders

It is thus possible to monitor two areas at the same time by orienting them in different directions, but the motorized camera can follow movements over 360° even if it is the fixed camera which initially detected them. This is all the more interesting as it offers a longer focal length, and will therefore allow you to obtain a closer view of intruders. To make matters worse, TP-Link's new cameras promise 4K images. There is of course also the now usual dose of AI to filter alerts, here for people, vehicles and animals.

We have seen similar cameras before, notably at Ezviz with the H9cbut TP-Link has the merit of allowing the choice of power supply for wired or wireless installation. However, neither price nor release date have been announced yet.
