TP-Link’s consumer smart home brand, Kasa Smart, is launching preorders today for its two upcoming smart home products, the Kasa Cam and a smart Wi-Fi plug with two outlets. Both smart home devices integrate with Amazon Alexa and Google Assistant, while the Wi-Fi plug also supports Microsoft Cortana.
The Kasa Cam Outdoor’s main feature is based on what TP-Link calls “activity zones.” You can set a specific area and field of view where motion should be detected, while ignoring the surrounding area (like a gate between bushes). Similar to competing smart home cameras from Logitech, Canary, and others, the Kasa Cam can also ignore “micro second events” to avoid false positives, like insects flying past the camera lens or quickly moving cars.
