TP-Link Tapo C560WS 4K Outdoor Pan/Tilt Security Wi-Fi Camera
PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
TP-Link Outdoor Pan/Tilt Security Wi-Fi Camera (Tapo C560WS) - 2 Years Local Warranty
The Tapo C560WS is a mains-powered 4K 8MP outdoor pan/tilt camera with Wi-Fi 6, an Ethernet port, RTSP/ONVIF support and local facial recognition. It covers 360° horizontally and 98° vertically, records at 25 fps, and is rated IP66 for wall, ceiling or pole mounting.
4K at 25 fps with Full Pan/Tilt Coverage
The C560WS records 4K 8MP (3840 x 2160) at 25 fps through a 4 mm F1.6 lens with an 88° horizontal view, 18x digital zoom, 3DNR and WDR. The motorised head gives a 326° mechanical pan (360° coverage) and 53° mechanical tilt (98° coverage), so one camera can sweep a driveway, yard or loading bay. TP-Link notes scanning and cruising times are limited each day.
Local Facial Recognition
TP-Link describes free on-device AI that recognises and tags strangers, family and friends, alongside motion, person, pet and vehicle detection with activity zones. Detection runs without a subscription; snapshot notifications use Tapo Care.
Wi-Fi 6 or Ethernet, with RTSP and ONVIF
The camera connects over dual-band 802.11ax Wi-Fi 6 or a wired Ethernet port, which suits sites where Wi-Fi is weak. RTSP and ONVIF are both listed as supported, so the stream can be pulled into a compatible NVR as well as the Tapo app.
Starlight Colour Night Vision and a 99 dB Siren
An 850 nm IR LED provides infrared night vision, and two built-in spotlights with the starlight sensor give colour images in low light. A 99 dB siren and two-way audio with noise cancellation let the camera warn or speak to visitors.
Ideal For
Singapore landed homes, warehouses, workshops and small business frontages that need one mains-powered 4K camera to cover a wide outdoor area, with the option of NVR recording over RTSP/ONVIF. Supplied by SourceIT with local Singapore warranty and GST invoice.
