Wirecutter's top budget pick with genuine pet detection, 2K video, and multiple storage options for under $30. Reddit users also praise TP-Link cameras for delivering strong performance at a very low price point.
The Tapo C120 is the rare camera that Wirecutter loves AND costs almost nothing. If you want pet detection without paying Eufy or Nest prices, this is your camera.
“This camera is great at pet detection. Like our other picks, the Tapo C120 can distinguish between pets, people, and other types of motion.”
