- Does the Tapo C121 need a subscription?
- No. It records to a microSD card (sold separately) and works without a plan. Tapo Care cloud storage is optional.

- Yes. It has an IP66 weather rating, but it needs a sheltered power outlet nearby because it runs on a cable.
- Does it record in the dark?
- It has infrared night vision plus a spotlight for color night video. The spotlight is brighter than infrared but more noticeable.
- Does it have person detection?
