Tapo is a smart home brand developed by TP-Link, a major global provider of networking and consumer electronics. The brand specializes in accessible smart home devices, including cameras, plugs, and lighting solutions like the multicolor LED light strip shown in the image.

TP-Link was founded in 1996 in Shenzhen, China, and has grown into one of the world's leading manufacturers of Wi-Fi networking products. The Tapo sub-brand was introduced to target the growing smart home ecosystem market, competing with brands like Philips Hue and Xiaomi. As of 2026, TP-Link continues to operate as a privately held company with a global corporate structure, maintaining its ultimate headquarters and ownership within China while distributing products through various local subsidiaries worldwide.
