Does this camera need a subscription?

No. It records to internal storage, so basic use doesn't require a cloud plan. You give up remote cloud backup unless you add storage yourself.

Can it be used outdoors?

No. It is an indoor-only camera and isn't weather-sealed, so keep it out of rain and direct sun.

It tilts remotely through the app but does not pan or zoom. You aim it once and adjust the tilt from your phone.

It has infrared LEDs for black-and-white night vision in a dark room. Range is limited to a normal room, not a large open space.

It needs a power outlet, so plan around a wall socket. The small dome sits on a shelf or mounts to a wall near the cord.

The listed features don't include a speaker or microphone for talking back. Treat it as a video and motion camera, not an intercom.
