4K 8MP | 360° pan / tilt | Wired (12V DC) | Wi-Fi 6 dual-band | IP66 | microSD up to 512GB
Overview
The Tapo C560WS is a 4K outdoor pan/tilt camera with Wi-Fi 6 dual-band connectivity, on-device facial recognition and starlight colour night vision. As a wired camera it records 24/7, and it has an Ethernet port (though it still needs its DC adapter for power).
Key Features
Setup & Compatibility
Wire the C560WS to its 12V DC adapter and set it up in the Tapo app. It supports Wi-Fi 6 on both bands; there is also an Ethernet port for a wired network link — but note the Ethernet port does not power the camera, so the DC adapter is still required.
What’s New
4K with on-device facial recognition and Wi-Fi 6 is the headline — the C560WS recognises familiar faces locally and streams 4K smoothly over a Wi-Fi 6 connection, with 24/7 recording as a wired camera.
