Operation exit: protect your home with AI video surveillance in 4K and take 5G internet to the beach with Deco × Tapo

The peace of mind of a safe and always connected home wherever you are

With the arrival of summer, long-awaited vacations and weekend getaways, our homes spend much more time empty. Whether we move to a second residence, go camping or simply leave our main home closed for a few weeks, there will always be one idea in our heads: keep our home safe from unforeseen events and, at the same time, enjoy a fast and stable Internet connection wherever we are going to set up our “base camp”.

Traditionally, trying to set up a full-coverage Wi-Fi network throughout your home or installing advanced security cameras required hiring security companies, paying monthly fees, and dealing with complex setups or cumbersome wiring. Fortunately, technology has evolved unstoppably. This summer, TP-Link presents us with a comprehensive solution that redefines what it means to have a connected and monitored home without complications: the ecosystem Deco x Tapo.

TP-Link makes it easy: One-click setup and smart battery saving

Before reviewing the best devices for each situation, what really makes this Deco x Tapo ecosystem stand out is how the devices communicate with each other to make our lives much easier.

TP-Link has incorporated proprietary technology TSS (TP-Link Simple Setup) which greatly facilitates the configuration of Deco and Tapo devices. If we already have at least one Deco or Tapo device at home, when you turn on a new camera or network node, the application will automatically detect it and join it to the network with a single touch, synchronizing passwords instantly. No more having to manually enter credentials. Additionally, if we change the Wi-Fi network in the future, the changes propagate themselves to all TSS devices.

But the intelligence of this system goes one step further. When Tapo battery-powered cameras detect that they are connected to a compatible Deco router, they recognize each other and activate a smart battery saving protocol. This rReduces consumption at rest by up to 30%, drastically extending the battery life of the cameras on a single charge, something essential if we place them in hard-to-reach areas.

For this summer campaign, TP-Link has prepared two product lines adapted to different scenarios, so that no one is left without options both in apartments and urban homes as well as in second homes and campsites.

For your second home or camping: 5G and solar energy for unlimited video surveillance

If our vacation includes a trip to the town house, to a motorhome or to a rural environment where fiber optics simply do not reach, TP-Link has designed options that give us absolute freedom, 5G wireless connectivity and energy independence through solar panels to be able to set up our video surveillance system and Internet access from anywhere.

Deco X3000-5G: Breakneck speed no matter where you are

This equipment is the definitive solution for those who do not want to give up performance. It is an “all-in-one” system that integrates a modem 5G Sub-6 GHz and Wi-Fi 6 Mesh AX3000 technology. The operation is Plug & Play: we insert a SIM card and we get 5G download speeds of up to 3.4Gbps with a minimum latency of just 1 ms, far surpassing 4G.

This allows us to telework, hold video conferences, download large files or watch series in 4K as if we had high-speed fiber. In addition to its ultra-fast wireless connection, it incorporates a 2.5Gbps Multigigabit port and ports for external antennas, allowing you to connect more than 150 devices simultaneously.

Tapo C660 KIT: 360º security without the need for plugs thanks to its solar panel and battery

To protect the exterior of that second residence or land, the Tapo C660 KIT is one of the most advanced options of the moment. We are talking about a totally cable-free camera that records in 4K resolution (8MP). At this resolution, we can perfectly identify a license plate or an intruder from a great distance. Its motor scans in 360º and has a detection range of up to 18 meters with AI that distinguishes people, pets or vehicles with high precision.

Its greatest advantage is the absolute lack of maintenance. It incorporates a huge 10,000 mAh battery and comes accompanied by a solar panel. With only 45 minutes of direct daily sun exposure, the camera works uninterrupted, monitoring 24/7 without the need for any plug. Added to this is its color night vision with Starlight technology and a stable, high-speed connection thanks to the fact that it operates in dual band (2.4 GHz and 5 GHz)allowing the transmission of 4K video fluidly and without interruptions to our mobile, and integrating light alarm and two-way sound.

Deco X1500-4G and Tapo C410 KIT: The affordable alternative with 4G+ connectivity and 2K video surveillance with night vision

If our vacation area does not require 5G speeds, the top-selling system Deco X1500-4G It is a fantastic option. It uses 4G+ Cat6 connectivity to give us speeds of up to 300 Mbps, creating a solid Wi-Fi 6 Mesh network with three Gigabit ports and low latency.

As an ideal companion, the outdoor-resistant camera Tapo C410 KIT With IP65 certification it is perfect. Like the 660 model, it works uninterruptedly thanks to its own solar panel, but in a more compact format. It offers recording in 2K resolution (3 MP), full color night vision using advanced exposure algorithms, and free AI to detect anomalies in customizable activity zones that we configure from the mobile.

For urban apartments and homes: Full Wi-Fi 7 coverage and smart surveillance

If our goal is to leave our usual apartment or house shielded while we are on the beach, and at the same time update our home network so as not to suffer a connection cut again, the Deco x Tapo ecosystem formed by the Deco BE3600 and the Tapo C260 It is the best option, a premium high-speed system, WiFi 7, 4K camera with AI.

Deco BE3600: The latest generation Wi-Fi 7 comes to your living room
