- Do I need a subscription to record video?
- No. The hub records to a microSD card, so local storage works without a cloud plan. Cloud options exist but are optional.
- How long does the battery last?
- Tapo rates the battery for months of typical use, but heavy motion alerts and live viewing shorten that considerably. Expect to recharge each camera a few times a year.
- Is a microSD card included?
- No. You need to add a microSD card to the hub to record locally.
- Can I add more cameras later?
- Yes. The hub supports additional Tapo battery cameras, so you can expand coverage beyond the two in the kit.
- Does it work with Alexa and Google Home?
- Yes. You can view the cameras on Echo Show and Google Nest displays and use voice commands.
- Can it record continuously?
- No. On battery power it records motion-triggered clips, not 24/7 video.
