Blink Wired Floodlight
Score: 75/100Rankings
The Tapo Kasa EC70 is a 1080p indoor pan/tilt camera with excellent 360° coverage and motion tracking. It offers clear video and two-way audio, making it ideal for pet and baby monitoring. The main trade-offs are the 2.4GHz-only Wi-Fi and lower frame rate compared to premium models.
The Blink Wired Floodlight Camera offers a budget-friendly hardwired solution with bright 2600-lumen floodlights and a built-in siren. While it provides reliable motion detection and Alexa integration, its 1080p resolution and 60-second clip limit are notable drawbacks. It is best suited for users seeking affordable perimeter lighting and basic security monitoring.
