Tapo’s EC70 is a wired indoor camera that solves the basic problem of coverage. Its full 360-degree pan and 180-degree tilt means you can point the lens at every corner of a room from a single outlet. This is useful for monitoring a living room from a corner shelf or keeping an eye on a front entryway from a high vantage point.

You get clear 1080p video and motion alerts sent straight to your phone. The two-way audio is clear enough for quick check-ins. Night vision reliably covers a standard-sized room, so you can see a pet on the couch or a package by the door after dark. Setup is straightforward in the Kasa app, and it works with Alexa and Google Assistant for voice controls on smart displays.

The EC70 records continuously to a microSD card, which is a practical, subscription-free option for reviewing footage. Just note that you have to supply your own card, up to 256GB. For a simple, capable camera that won’t miss a spot, this is a solid wired choice.
