Overview
The Tapo C720 is a wired floodlight and camera in one, putting out 2,800 lumens of motion-activated light across a 270-degree zone alongside 2K QHD video, colour night vision and 24/7 recording. It’s a strong-value all-in-one outdoor deterrent.
Key Features
Setup & Compatibility
The C720 is hardwired to mains power and set up in the Tapo app on 2.4GHz Wi-Fi. Use the app to schedule the lights, adjust brightness and set activation triggers. Fit a microSD card for subscription-free recording.
What’s New
At 2,800 lumens with a 270-degree trigger zone, the C720 is a serious lighting deterrent, and the dimmable, schedulable control through the Tapo app gives it real flexibility over a basic security light.

Real World Performance
As a deterrent the C720 is excellent — the bright, wide floodlight and colour night vision light up a drive or garden, and 24/7 recording means nothing is missed. The trade-off is the wired installation, which is more work than a battery camera.
Who Should Buy It
The right pick if you want a bright all-in-one floodlight camera with 24/7 recording and are comfortable wiring it in.
Verdict
The Tapo C720 is a strong-value floodlight camera — bright, wide and recording around the clock, for those happy with a wired install.
