Outdoor Pan/Tilt Wi-Fi Camera

The TP-Link Tapo C500 is a wireless outdoor security camera that offers motorised pan and tilt movement. It connects via 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi and records 1080p video at 15 frames per second. The device supports ONVIF for integration with compatible recording systems.

360° Coverage with AI Person Detection

The mechanical pan range reaches 340° for full 360° horizontal coverage, while tilt covers 60° mechanically for a 130° vertical range. On-device machine learning identifies people and tracks motion across this wide area. Buyers who require continuous 24/7 recording without a microSD card or a cloud subscription should consider other options.

MicroSD Storage up to 512 GB

Local recording relies on a microSD card slot that accepts cards up to 512 GB in capacity. The card is not included with the camera. Cloud storage is available through a separate Tapo Care subscription. Choose this model if the 512 GB local limit matches your retention needs.

Questions about this item

What does 1080p resolution look like on the Tapo C500 when it is mounted outside?

The camera records at 1920 x 1080 pixels with a 15 fps frame rate, giving clear Full HD footage across its 85.5° diagonal field of view.

What does the IEEE 802.11b/g/n 2.4 GHz wireless standard limit in practice?

The camera connects only on the 2.4 GHz band using Wi‑Fi 4, so maximum throughput is capped by that older standard and the single‑band radio.

How do I mount the C500 on a wall or pole and what hardware is required?

The package includes mounting screws, a drilling template and loop straps for securing the camera to any wall, ceiling or pole.
