The case for the Tapo C560WS

4K with a full 360 degree sweep and free facial detection, wired, at a price most rivals charge for 2K. The catch is that it needs mains power.

Skip it if
There is no cable. Pan-tilt cameras are power-hungry and this one is wired for a reason.

The case for the Tapo C320WS

The case for it in any matchup is the same: mains power means continuous recording, and a card slot means the footage never depends on a plan. It is the least exciting camera here and the one that keeps working.

Skip it if
You cannot get mains power to the spot. This one needs a cable.

How to decide

Where the listings actually differ: resolution, 4K against 2K / 4MP.

The Tapo C560WS and the Tapo C320WS sit in the same price band ($50 to $100), so price will not settle it.

The Tapo C320WS has 7,630 ratings behind its score; the Tapo C560WS has 665, which is an early signal rather than a track record.
