WiFi Camera Specials Pretoria – TP-Link Tapo Packages from R5,900
Quick Answer
TP-Link Tapo WiFi camera installation in Pretoria starts at R5,900 for 2 Full HD pan-tilt cameras, fully installed. Easy CCTV offers two WiFi tiers, each in 2, 4 and 6 camera packages:
- Full HD (Tapo C500): R5,900 for 2 cameras, R10,900 for 4, R15,900 for 6
- 4K (Tapo C560WS): R7,900 for 2 cameras, R14,900 for 4, R22,900 for 6
Both are outdoor pan-tilt cameras that turn 360 degrees and follow movement automatically. Each camera records to its own 64GB memory card, so no NVR or DVR is needed and recording continues if the WiFi drops. Every package includes a 30m power cable allowance per camera, a Hikvision 12V power supply, junction boxes, installation, app setup and handover. TP-Link Tapo cameras carry a 2-year manufacturer warranty. Easy CCTV is an owner-operated CCTV installer based in Pretoria East, installing Hikvision and TP-Link security cameras across Pretoria, Centurion, Midrand and Johannesburg since 2013.
Fully installed TP-Link Tapo pan-tilt WiFi camera packages for homes and businesses in Pretoria, Centurion, Midrand and Johannesburg. Choose Full HD or 4K, then choose 2, 4 or 6 cameras. Every package is professionally installed with memory cards, power, app setup and after-sales support.
WiFi cameras are the simplest way to add CCTV to a property. There is no data cable back to a recorder, no DVR or NVR to house, and each camera records to its own memory card. Both Tapo models we install are outdoor pan-tilt cameras: they rotate a full 360 degrees, follow a person automatically once one is detected, and let you talk through the camera from your phone.

Full HD or 4K? Tapo C500 vs Tapo C560WS
Both tiers use outdoor pan-tilt cameras that record to their own memory card. The difference is in image detail, night vision, detection and deterrence.

What Makes Pan-Tilt WiFi Cameras Worth It
A traditional fixed camera watches one angle and records. The Tapo pan-tilt cameras in these packages watch a whole area, react to what they see and let you respond from your phone.
360 Degree Coverage From One Mounting Point
Each camera rotates a full 360 degrees horizontally, so one camera on a corner can cover a driveway, a gate and a garden that would otherwise need two or three fixed cameras. You can also turn the camera manually from the Tapo app to look wherever you need.
Automatic Tracking
When a camera detects a person, it turns to follow them across its field of view instead of losing them at the edge of a fixed frame. The 4K C560WS also has a patrol mode that sweeps between set points when nothing is happening.
Two-Way Audio
Every camera has a built-in microphone and speaker. From the Tapo app you can listen in and speak through the camera from anywhere with internet, whether that is warning off a suspicious visitor, directing a delivery driver or checking in at home.
Active Deterrence
The Full HD C500 plays a custom sound alarm when it detects a person. The 4K C560WS adds a 99dB siren and spotlights that switch on automatically, so an intruder knows straight away that they have been seen.
Instant Phone Alerts
The Tapo app sends a notification the moment a camera detects a person, or on the 4K model a vehicle or pet, so you are not flooded with alerts every time a branch moves.
Recording That Survives a WiFi Outage
Each camera records to its own memory card. If the WiFi drops, recording carries on locally and you can review the footage once the connection is back.

About the TP-Link Tapo C560WS (4K)

A 1/2.7 inch starlight sensor and built-in spotlights give full colour night footage, with infrared backup up to 30m. On-camera AI detects people, vehicles and pets, tracks them through 360 degrees, flags line-crossing and camera tampering, and recognises familiar faces using facial data stored locally rather than in the cloud. It has a 99dB siren, two-way audio with noise cancellation, dual-band WiFi 6, a built-in Ethernet port and IP66 weatherproofing, and records to a microSD card of up to 512GB.

WiFi or Wired? An Honest Comparison
Choose WiFi when running data cables is impractical, when you are renting, or when you want the lowest entry price. Choose wired when you want continuous 24/7 recording to a central hard drive, when WiFi coverage is unreliable at the camera positions, or when you need more than six cameras.
| Tapo Full HD WiFi | Tapo 4K WiFi | TP-Link VIGI (wired) | Hikvision Turbo HD (wired) | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Entry price | R5,900 (2 cameras) | R7,900 (2 cameras) | R16,000 (4 cameras) | R10,500 (4 cameras) |
| Cabling | Power cable only | Power cable only, network cable optional | Cat5e to a central NVR | RG59 coax to a central DVR |
| Recording | 64GB card in each camera | 64GB card in each camera | 2TB central hard drive | 2TB central hard drive |
| Camera movement | Pan-tilt with motion tracking | Pan-tilt with AI tracking | Fixed | Fixed |
| AI detection | Person | Person, vehicle, pet and face | Human and vehicle | Motion detection only |
| Two-way audio | Yes | Yes | Yes | No |
| Active deterrent | Sound alarm | 99dB siren plus spotlights | Audible warning plus white light | No |
| Night vision | Infrared, black and white | Starlight colour | Full colour with white light assist | Infrared, black and white |
| Max cameras | 6 in these packages | 6 in these packages | 10 in our packages | 16 on one DVR |
The honest summary: WiFi wins on price, installation simplicity and coverage per camera, because each Tapo camera pans and tracks. Wired wins on recording history and reliability, since a central hard drive holds weeks of continuous footage rather than a memory card that overwrites, and it does not depend on your WiFi for live viewing.
Looking for a Wired CCTV System Instead?
WiFi cameras are not always the right answer. If you have a larger property where running cables is not a problem, want one central recorder managing many cameras, or need weeks of continuous recording across multiple channels, a wired CCTV system is often a better fit.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much does WiFi camera installation cost in Pretoria?
TP-Link Tapo WiFi camera installation costs R5,900 for 2 Full HD cameras, R10,900 for 4 and R15,900 for 6, fully installed. The 4K packages cost R7,900 for 2 cameras, R14,900 for 4 and R22,900 for 6. Every price includes the cameras, a 64GB memory card per camera, a 30m power cable allowance per camera, the power supply, junction boxes, installation, app setup and handover. For a comparison against every wired tier, see our CCTV installation prices guide.
What is the difference between the Full HD and 4K WiFi packages?
The Full HD packages use the Tapo C500, a 1080p pan-tilt camera with person detection, motion tracking, infrared night vision and a sound alarm. The 4K packages use the Tapo C560WS, which adds 4K 8MP resolution, starlight colour night vision, a 99dB siren with spotlights, vehicle and pet detection, local facial recognition, dual-band WiFi 6 and an Ethernet port for hardwiring.
Which WiFi cameras does Easy CCTV install?
We install TP-Link Tapo outdoor pan-tilt cameras: the Tapo C500 in our Full HD packages and the Tapo C560WS in our 4K packages. TP-Link also makes the cameras in our wired TP-Link VIGI AI packages, so WiFi and wired customers deal with one manufacturer and one warranty process.
Do the cameras need a DVR or NVR?
No. Each camera records to its own 64GB memory card, so no separate recorder is required. If you would prefer a central recorder and hard drive, view our wired CCTV specials or our TP-Link VIGI AI specials.
Do WiFi cameras still need power?
Yes. WiFi replaces the video cable, not the power cable. We run power from a Hikvision 12V power supply to each camera, with a 30m cable allowance per camera and a sealed junction box at each mounting point. One power supply runs up to four cameras.
Will the cameras still record if my WiFi goes down?
Yes. Recording goes to the memory card inside each camera, so it continues during a WiFi outage. Live viewing and phone alerts pause until the WiFi is back, but no local recordings are lost. Recording does stop during a power failure unless the power supply is connected to a backup power circuit.
Can the cameras see at night?
Yes. The Full HD Tapo C500 uses infrared night vision with a range of up to 30m, giving clear black and white footage in total darkness. The 4K Tapo C560WS has a starlight sensor and built-in spotlights for full colour night footage, with infrared backup up to 30m.
Can the cameras tell people apart from animals and cars?
The Tapo C500 uses AI person detection, so it alerts you to people rather than every moving shadow. The Tapo C560WS goes further, separating people, vehicles and pets, and its local facial recognition can tell familiar faces from strangers so alarms only trigger when they should.
How long do the memory cards store footage for?
It depends on resolution and how much activity the camera sees. On the Full HD C500, a 64GB card typically holds several days to over a week of footage. The 4K C560WS records four times the detail, so the same card fills faster and holds fewer days. Both cameras overwrite the oldest footage automatically and accept cards up to 512GB if you want a longer history. For a month or more of continuous recording, a wired system with a central hard drive is the better choice.
What if my WiFi is weak where a camera needs to go?
We test the WiFi signal at every camera position before mounting. The 4K C560WS has an Ethernet port, so any camera that cannot hold a stable signal can be hardwired with a network cable instead. The Full HD C500 is WiFi only on 2.4GHz, so weak areas may need a range extender or mesh point, which we quote upfront before installation.
Should I choose WiFi or a wired system?
Choose WiFi when running data cables is impractical, when you are renting, or when you want the lowest entry price from R5,900. Choose wired when you want weeks of continuous recording on a central hard drive, when WiFi is unreliable at the camera positions, or when you need more than six cameras. For AI detection on a wired system, our TP-Link VIGI packages start at R16,000 and record to a central 2TB drive.
What warranty do the Tapo cameras carry?
TP-Link Tapo cameras carry a 2-year manufacturer warranty. Easy CCTV adds a 12-month workmanship warranty on installation labour and handles warranty claims on your behalf rather than sending you to the distributor.
Which WiFi camera package should I choose?
For a townhouse or smaller home, start with 2 cameras covering the front and back. For one camera on each side of a house or small business, choose 4. For larger properties, workshops or full perimeter coverage, choose 6. Then pick Full HD for the best value, or 4K for colour night vision, sharper detail and a louder deterrent.
Prices include standard installation and a 30m power cable allowance per camera. Extra cable, difficult roof access, weak WiFi signal areas, additional network work, extra power points or special mounting requirements may affect the final price. Easy CCTV will confirm everything clearly before installation.
