I love a security camera that doesn't require a monthly subscription to view video history or access special features. When I pay for a camera, I pay for the ability to use it, yet many cameras put some of their most advertised features behind a paywall. Not the Tapo C465, though.

The TP-Link Tapo C465 is a wireless security camera that doesn't require a subscription. Instead, you can add a microSD card up to 512 GB and enjoy 24/7 continuous capture. TP-Link does offer a subscription for cloud recording, if that's what you prefer, and having the versatility of both is a good thing.
