TP-Link brought an impressive lineup of smart home solutions to CES 2025, but the Dual-Lens Camera Tapo C675D KIT easily stole the spotlight. We even gave it our Best of CES award because it’s a do-it-all camera that tackles the usual headaches of wide-angle-only setups. By combining a traditional wide-angle lens with a pan-and-tilt camera for close-up details, it offers flexible coverage for big spaces like yards and farms. Plus, with its solar-powered design and sharp 4K resolution, it’s built to handle outdoor monitoring with ease.

The Tapo C675D KIT, also called the Tapo HybridCam Duo, packs two cameras in one smart device, each with a unique job. The wide-angle lens takes care of the big picture, covering your surroundings so nothing gets missed. At the same time, the second camera can pan, tilt, and zoom, letting you zero in on important details—whether it’s identifying someone at your gate or keeping an eye on a specific area.

This combo setup means you don’t need to mess around with multiple cameras for different tasks. It keeps things simple while giving you full coverage and solving common issues like blind spots or blurry details from far away.

The Tapo C675D KIT offers 4K resolution on both lenses, delivering sharp, high-quality footage that lets you see the big picture and the finer details. What’s great is that it processes everything locally, using on-device AI to pick out people, vehicles, or pets in the frame. This means you get useful alerts without the usual false alarms triggered by harmless movements like tree branches swaying in the wind.

Battery-powered and compatible with a solar panel, the camera is designed for flexibility and ease of use, especially in areas where plugging into a power source isn’t practical—think large yards or remote farm spaces. But, if you’re in a region with less reliable sunlight, you’ll want to keep that in mind when setting it up.

The Tapo C675D KIT fits right into TP-Link’s growing smart home lineup, which also features intelligent lighting systems, palm-recognition door locks, and full-scale NVR security systems. Everything is tied together through the Tapo app, making it easy to manage all your devices from one place without juggling multiple apps or systems.

Another highlight from TP-Link's showcase is the Tapo PalmKey Smart Door Lock, a device that takes home security to the next level with palm vein recognition. Instead of relying on fingerprints or facial scans, this lock reads the unique patterns of your palm veins—yes, even identical twins have different patterns! It’s completely contactless and works no matter if your hands are wet, dry, or a little messy, making it both practical and secure.

Aside from the Tapo C675D KIT from the NVR Security System, the lineup includes some other cool specialized cameras too like the Tapo C4086B, which delivers ColorPro Night Vision for clear footage in low-light conditions, and the Tapo C6165D, offering dual-angle views for comprehensive area coverage.

For remote locations, the Ultra-Long-Distance Wireless SolarCam integrates Wi-Fi HaLow technology and a solar-powered battery system, ensuring consistent monitoring without relying on local power or network infrastructure.

TP-Link’s Atom-Link Lighting System makes controlling your home’s lights a breeze. Using a mix of Wi-Fi and Bluetooth Mesh, it stays reliable even in areas where your Wi-Fi signal might drop. The system works with smart bulbs, downlights, and switches, so you can tweak your lighting to match any vibe—all from your phone or with voice commands.

Then there is Tapo RV70 Pro Ultra, a robot vacuum and mop that practically runs itself. Its All-in-One Self-Circulating Station collects, purifies, and recycles water for cleaning, cutting down on waste. Bonus: it also helps regulate humidity and neutralizes odors, leaving your home fresh and comfortable without you lifting a finger.

Finally, TP-Link gave a sneak peek of its vision for a truly smart home with the Tapo AI Assistant. This is where things get exciting—AI technology that learns your habits, automates your routines, and makes your devices work together seamlessly. Imagine your home adapting to your needs without you having to think about it. While it’s still a concept for now, it’s clear that TP-Link is working on making smart homes even smarter.

Pricing and availability are yet to be announced, but visitors at CES 2025 can explore these innovations firsthand at TP-Link’s booth, or learn more online at their official website.
