TP Link is just hitting you with just one new camera but a variety of cameras with different features and price points starting from around $40 and capping out at just under $200 depending on your needs.
Their C216 camera starts at just over $35 and records and livestreams in up to 2K quality and can pan around and follow its subjects. It also works with Alexa and Google Home. I have been using their 1080p model which is the C206/TCW30 and does similar things and cost a bit less. This is actually new as well.
As you go further down the line and spend a bit more you can come across devices like the new C246D which has dual cameras that can multiple angles at the same time keeping you covered from all sides.
The star of the show though is the C660. It has solar powered capabilities. THis means it can be wireless and can last for long periods of time being needed to be charged again. It captures in 4K making sure you get the max quality in your viewing. It also features a 13ft cord so it doesn’t even need to be right next to the solar panel.

IRVINE, Calif. – June 24, 2025 – TP-Link Systems Inc., a global leader in networking and smart home solutions, is expanding its award-winning Tapo smart home portfolio with the launch of its first-ever premium 4K Tapo Camera Series and a new line of highly versatile HybridCams. These exciting new products redefine smart home security with razor-sharp image quality, advanced detection capabilities, seamless installation, and professional-grade surveillance without subscription fees.

With wire-free installation capabilities, the C460 KIT can be placed virtually anywhere to enhance home security. The camera captures stunning 4K 8MP resolution footage with superior clarity thanks to its upgraded image sensor, processor, and lens. Its Starlight Color Night Vision technology delivers vibrant images even in low light conditions through an F1.65 lens, starlight sensor, and integrated spotlights.
Complementing the 4K Camera Series is the debut of the Tapo HybridCam Series, engineered for all-weather, indoor-outdoor versatility. With flexible installation options, the Tapo HybridCam Series provides an adaptable and cost-effective security solution for any home.
Leading the series is the Tapo HybridCam Duo (C246D), a unique dual-lens camera that delivers comprehensive 360° surveillance with two 2K lenses—one fixed and one pan/tilt—to cover wide spaces and zoom in on details simultaneously, thus reducing blind spots and the need for multiple separate cameras.

With advanced features that typically require costly subscriptions now available out of the box, the new Tapo cameras make smart protection easier and more flexible for everyone. The 4K Series provides tailored clarity and performance for any setting—indoors or out, wired or solar—while the HybridCam Series introduces a cost-effective, all-in-one solution for those wanting simple, easy, and accessible smart home security.
