TP-Link showcases expanded smart home lineup

TP-Link unveiled its broader smart home ecosystem today at CES 2025. From advanced cleaning systems to next-generation security and lighting systems, these devices enhance TP-Link’s Tapo ecosystem, which can be controlled through the Tapo app.

Jeff Barney, President of TP-Link Systems Inc., said, “These new additions address practical needs while easily integrating into our existing ecosystem. By designing and manufacturing our components in-house, we can offer more personalized solutions for consumers looking to create their ideal smart home.”

One standout product is the Tapo PalmKey smart door lock, which uses palm vein recognition for secure, contactless entry. Unlike fingerprints or facial scans, this biometric technology is based on highly detailed vein patterns that are unique to each person. The system works whether your hands are wet, dry or dirty, providing consistent reliability.

The Tapo Atom-Link lighting system is another key announcement, using Wi-Fi and Bluetooth Mesh technology to provide stable and efficient control. It integrates with TP-Link smart lamps, fixtures and switches to provide enhanced lighting performance even in areas with poor Wi-Fi coverage.

Security is a central theme in TP-Link’s announcements surrounding the introduction of the Tapo NVR security system. This system provides continuous monitoring through real-time multi-camera streaming, secure local storage, and AI-powered recognition features that can differentiate between people, pets, and vehicles. Designed for both residential and commercial use, the line includes specialized cameras such as the Tapo C4086B with ColorPro night vision for low-light conditions and the solar-powered ultra-long-range SolarCam wireless camera for areas with limited grid connectivity.

Outdoor safety is further enhanced by the Tapo HybridCam Duo, which uses a dual-lens system to simultaneously capture wide views and distant details. This makes it an ideal option for large areas such as large yards or farms.

In the smart cleaning category, the Tapo RV70 Pro Ultra robot vacuum and mop takes a unique approach to sustainable cleaning. Its self-circulating station purifies and recycles water, reducing waste while maintaining cleaning efficiency. The system also helps regulate indoor humidity and neutralize odors, creating a fresh and comfortable home environment.

This expanded product line complements TP-Link network products. previously reportedoffering consumers a more comprehensive approach to connected living. Details on pricing and availability are expected as we get closer to the launch of these devices.
