Little by little, we are returning to normal. In fact, we should speak of a new normal, because the emergency we have experienced will leave a mark on our habits, both in personal and professional ones. Starting with smart working, which despite the gradual recovery will continue to be employed – perhaps less continuously and assiduously – by companies, but also for home schooling. In these days, in fact, various solutions are being hypothesized for the resumption of lessons in September, able to guarantee a certain social distancing: whatever happens and is decided, the alternation of traditional work and study methods with smart ones is almost obvious.

To cope with this new condition on the work and school front, we must now equip ourselves with tools that are suitable for long-term use, that guarantee quality and reliability. The old PC’s video camera, acceptable in emergency conditions, will no longer be sufficient: surely it has happened to everyone during the endless calls of these months to see “jerky” images of people, with consequent intermittent audio, which seem more mosaics of pixels you locate. While there is a lot to do with the connection, it is also appropriate to update the camera, that is, the webcam.
TP-Link offers Tapo, its line of indoor cameras created for home surveillance but perfectly adaptable to the new needs of smart working and homeschooling: their versatility means that today they are ideal for managing sociality remotely and tomorrow, they should all fall the constraints, to become once again the strong point of home security and smart home. Tapo cameras, small and discreet, can be connected to the desktop PC at home, but also to a notebook that needs an improvement in terms of shooting quality.
TP-Link Tapo C200
Both models of the range, Tapo C100 and Tapo C200, in fact shoot with excellent Full HD quality and have bi-directional audio, so you can speak directly to your interlocutors (and listen to the answers) via the webcam, without the need for ‘other. In fact, we must not forget that the products were created for surveillance, an area in which quality is fundamental both in the video – to detect movements and recognize the subjects in the frame – and in the audio, to listen to what is happening at home and possibly interact with the people present.
Both products are obviously equipped with WiFi, can be easily controlled via the dedicated app, can be configured in a few moments and also support Amazon Alexa voice commands, as well as being able to store all the footage on a MicroSD card. Tapo C100 and Tapo C200 cameras are available at a price of 24.90 euros and 39.90 euros on the official Amazon TP-Link store and at authorized dealers
