Amazon price is $120 for 3 sets at $40 each. Costco needs to do better on this one. Costco being a membership store, this deal should have been lower than Amazon. $105 for 3 sets at $35 each would have been expected considering you are buying three.

Here's the single set page
https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B0D52NZN6Q

Tapo C402 actually has a 2k resolution.
They are most likely using this same model and putting 3 in a box and calling it 2K and charging more. Unethical marketing tactic by TP link.

The benefit of single package is if one goes wrong you do not have to return all three units. However if you are going through TP warranty, they will have you send back only the defective unit. Know that they will send you a refurbished unit. If you want avoid that, buying from costco you could return the entire set and skip the hassle of TP warranty process. One drawback is you have to uninstall all units.

Another suggestion is to take a look at the C120 model. This is wired 2K model with very good performance and reviews. This is ideal for porch or garage or any installations requiring constant power outdoors or indoors. It has a magnetic attachment as one of the options. It's also more compact than C402 offering equal or better performance compared to the wireless model such as C402.

Under specs it clearly says the camera is a TC82...... So your assumptions are completely false, next time do a little research.

Also TAPO C402 does not have 2k resolution its the TAPO C420 would....

First of all, you are rude dude. I hope you don't talk to people like that everywhere you go.
Ok so you have done some research reading product pages and reading the model numbers.

The reason I am saying these things because I have done the research and own the camera.

You read what I said about marketing. Model number does not always tell you what's inside.

I am going to download a photo from C402 and show you that it does come out to 2k resolution.

C402 owners should update the firmware first thing.

Yes please screenshot the clip specs/details of the C402. I couldn't find anything on it being 2k. If they were software locking to downscale before a firmware like you were saying that could be big.

C402 image resolution is 2304 × 1296. So according to DCI standard, it is 2K.

• 2K (DCI standard for cinema): 2048 × 1080
