Sharpness that protects: Tapo 4K cameras with advanced artificial intelligence
Tapo 4K Surveillance Cameras with AI
Home security is one of the main priorities and concerns of families and individuals. Until not long ago, in many cases this involved hiring security systems from companies that, in general, offered very basic services in very high monthly payments.
With the growing evolution of technologies such as Artificial Intelligence and advanced image sensors, Tapo has developed a whole range of sharp 4K cameras with advanced security features that allow users to create a Advanced video surveillance system with professional features at an affordable price and with maximum data control and privacy.
This line of new generation surveillance cameras from Tapo offer a great sharpness image thanks to the use of sensors with 4K resolution, in such a way that you can see any detail with maximum clarity. Additionally, these advanced sensors also include night vision to cover the entire field of vision even when light conditions worsen or, directly, it becomes night.
Tapo 4K cameras also include a microphone and speaker system that allows for two-way communication between the user and their home, managed from the Tapo mobile app at all times in a simple and practical way.
All this is combined with the latest generation of Artificial Intelligence technologiescapable of intelligently detecting people, pets, objects or vehicles. There are even models capable of applying facial recognition with AI to know at all times who enters our home.
The benefits of 4K resolution in Tapo video surveillance systems
Tapo 4K surveillance cameras include a native image sensor with this resolution. The resolution 4K (3,840 x 2,160) offers more than 8 million effective pixels, specifically 8,294,400 pixels. This is four times the resolution of the Full HD camera (1080p), which allows us to obtain much sharper images and videos.
| Resolution | 4K 8MP | 3K 5MP | 2K 4MP | 2K 3MP | 1080P |

One of the advantages of Tapo 4K cameras, if we compare them with lower resolution models, is their wide expandability. That is, we can zoom in without losing quality to be able to recognize people, objects, or any element that we need to enlarge.


This not only helps us when we want to visualize details of the image, but, combined with Tapo’s advanced AI technology, it is achieved much more precision when identifying elements in an automated manner. We are talking about a person detection accuracy that is 97% better than other alternatives. In this way, false alarms and annoying warnings are avoided.

Beyond the resolution and sharpness improvements, Tapo 4K cameras feature an advanced 12-inch wafer-based sensor, combined with an AI-enabled ISP (Image Signal Processor), which improves light capture for clear images even in difficult lighting conditions.
It also includes Infrared Night Vision (IR) technology, and Full Color Night Vision.
