DESIGN

In terms of design, the TP-Link Tapo C200 lookslike your typical security camera but in a smaller form factor.

Of course, the lens is the first thing you’ll see when you take it out of the box. The microSD slot and the reset button. Also included in the box is the power brick, and mounting tools which is great for those who want to position this in an inconspicuous location.
