A home-office CCTV kit should be chosen by coverage, recording retention and privacy, not merely the PoE label. No verified PoE kit or switch appears in the factpacks. The Tapo C212 at R451 is a verified indoor home-office security camera, but it is not PoE.

Define the camera system honestly

The Tapo C212 at R451 is an indoor pan-and-tilt camera for a compatible Wi-Fi setup. Do not use it outdoors or present it as part of a wired PoE system.

The Seagate SkyHawk 2TB surveillance hard drive at R1,340 can suit a compatible recorder. Check the recorder's supported drives and calculate retention from actual camera bitrate.

The Cudy AP3000 indoor ceiling access point at R899 can strengthen a planned wireless network. It is not a PoE camera kit, and power requirements still need verification.

Protect the workspace and its people

Aim cameras at entrances and equipment, not private living areas. Use strong account credentials, correct timestamps and restricted access; POPIA duties may apply to identifiable footage.

Retrieve a sample clip before relying on any system for evidence.
