TP-Link Tapo C510W Outdoor Pan/Tilt Security Wi-Fi Camera 2K 3MP IP65
PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
TP-Link Tapo Outdoor Pan/Tilt Security WiFi Camera (Tapo C510W) - 2 Years Local Warranty
The Tapo C510W is the outdoor camera that moves. A motorised head sweeps 360 degrees horizontally and 130 degrees vertically, so one unit on a corner wall watches a whole compound instead of one fixed angle. Twin spotlights give full-colour night footage, a 90 dB siren answers back, and the IP65 housing is built to stay out in the weather.
Full 360 Degree Coverage From One Mounting Point
The head pans through a 340 degree mechanical range for 360 degree coverage and tilts through 90 degrees, giving a 360 degree horizontal and 130 degree vertical view. For a driveway that wraps around a house, a yard with two gates or a carpark corner, that is the difference between one camera and three, and you steer it live from the Tapo app rather than climbing a ladder to re-aim it.
2K 3MP With Full-Colour Night Vision and Twin Spotlights
Video is captured at 2304 x 1296 on a 1/2.8 inch CMOS sensor at 15 fps, with 3DNR and WDR cleaning up noise and backlit scenes. Two built-in spotlights let the camera record in full colour after dark rather than infrared monochrome, and the infrared array reaches up to 98 ft when you would rather it stayed discreet.
A 90 dB Siren, Not Just a Recording
On detection the C510W can trigger a 90 dB siren, measured at 10 cm, alongside the spotlights. Two-way audio with noise cancellation through the built-in microphone and speaker lets you speak to whoever is there. On-device machine learning does the detection work locally, and traffic is protected with 128-bit AES encryption with SSL/TLS over WPA/WPA2-PSK.
512 GB Local Recording, RTSP and ONVIF
The C510W records to a microSD card of up to 512 GB with no compulsory cloud plan; Tapo Care exists only as an optional paid extra. It also publishes RTSP and ONVIF support, which matters if you want the stream pulled into third-party recording software rather than living entirely inside the Tapo app.
Ideal For
Singapore landed homes, compounds with more than one approach, carparks, yards, worksites and shop frontages that need steerable coverage, colour night footage and an audible deterrent from a single weatherproof unit. Supplied by SourceIT with local Singapore warranty, GST invoice and volume pricing on request.

Two figures are reproduced exactly as TP-Link publishes them. The lens row is printed as "2.0±5%" without an F/NO label, and the tilt row gives 135 degrees of coverage while the view-range row gives 130 degrees vertical. No net weight is published for this model, so none is claimed here.
Compatibility & Software Support
The Tapo C510W is set up and operated through the Tapo app, which manages every Tapo camera, plug, bulb and sensor in one place. It is a consumer Wi-Fi camera and is not part of the Omada or VIGI business ranges: it cannot be adopted into an Omada Controller and it is not managed by VIGI NVR software.
| Tapo App | Supported — setup and remote viewing from iOS and Android |
| System Requirements | iOS 9.0 or higher, Android 4.4 or higher |
| Smart Integration | Google Assistant, Amazon Alexa |
| Wi-Fi Requirement | 2.4 GHz network required; the camera does not join 5 GHz networks |
| Third-Party Recording | RTSP and ONVIF supported |
| Tapo Care | Optional paid cloud storage; the camera records locally to microSD without it |
| Omada / VIGI Management | Not supported — the Tapo range is separate from TP-Link's Omada and VIGI business lines |
Where you need cameras that integrate with a business NVR or with central network management, ask SourceIT about the VIGI range instead.

Frequently Asked Questions — Tapo C510W
How is the C510W different from the C520WS?
Both pan and tilt. The C510W records 2K 3MP (2304 × 1296) on a 1/2.8 inch sensor, is rated IP65, has a 90 dB siren and runs from a 12 V adapter. The C520WS steps up to 2K QHD 4MP (2560 × 1440) on a 1/3 inch sensor, is rated IP66, adds an Ethernet port and 12x digital zoom, and has a 93 dB siren.
Can I pull the stream into my own recording software?
Yes. TP-Link publishes RTSP and ONVIF support for this model, so it is not locked to the Tapo app.
Does it record in colour at night?
Yes. Two built-in spotlights give full-colour night vision. The infrared mode reaching up to 98 ft remains available when you would rather the camera stayed unlit.
What warranty does SourceIT provide?
Two years local Singapore warranty. TP-Link Singapore's replacement warranty policy places the outdoor camera series on a two-year term rather than the three-year default. Every Tapo C510W sold by SourceIT comes with a GST invoice.
Can SourceIT quote this in quantity?
Yes. Send the quantity and site details and we will quote, including microSD cards, mounting and any Tapo accessories you want supplied with them.
