Tapo

Tapo DL130 brings palm vein recognition into a mainstream Wi-Fi smart deadbolt. Its strongest point is the mix of touch-free biometric entry, backup unlock methods, and local biometric storage.

Tapo is TP-Link's smart-home brand. The origin answer needs care because TP-Link presents different regional corporate structures, including a U.S. fact sheet that says TP-Link Systems has split from TP-LINK Technologies Co., Ltd. in mainland China.

Origin & ownership

Is Tapo a Chinese smart-home brand?

Tapo is TP-Link's smart-home brand. The origin answer needs care because TP-Link presents different regional corporate structures, including a U.S. fact sheet that says TP-Link Systems has split from TP-LINK Technologies Co., Ltd. in mainland China.

For users, Tapo is most useful to read as a TP-Link smart-home product line covering cameras, locks, lighting, robot vacuums, and automation devices rather than as a standalone hardware company.

This profile avoids a simple ownership shortcut because TP-Link's public corporate structure has changed and regional pages describe it differently.
