TP-Link has been making networking gear since 1996, and there’s a good chance its routers are already running the WiFi in your house. The company now runs its global operations out of Irvine, California.
On BarkDeals, TP-Link shows up thanks to its Tapo indoor camera, which we feature as a budget pet camera. It streams in crisp 1080p, sees in the dark with night vision, sends motion alerts to your phone, and has two way audio so you can tell your dog to get off the couch from work.
The best part is the price. Tapo cameras regularly go on sale for less than a nice bag of treats, which makes checking on your dog an easy add to any home.
A few honest notes. It’s a general home camera, not a pet specific one, so you won’t get treat tossing or bark alerts like pricier pet cams offer. You’ll need solid WiFi where the camera sits, and some cloud video features require a subscription. Local storage on a memory card keeps it free if you prefer.
For simple peace of mind while you’re out, it’s tough to beat at this price.
