The TP-Link Tapo C246D is a versatile dual-lens security camera designed for both indoor and outdoor use. Its standout feature is the "HybridCam" design, which combines a fixed wide-angle lens with a motorized pan/tilt telephoto lens to eliminate blind spots by monitoring two areas at once.
Key Features and Performance
The camera delivers 2K 3MP high-definition video across both lenses. The 125° wide-angle lens provides a broad overview, while the 6mm telephoto lens allows for detailed close-ups and synchronized smart tracking. When the fixed lens detects a person or pet, the pan/tilt lens automatically pivots to follow the subject.
