- Is the TC73 really weatherproof enough for outdoors?
- TP-Link rates it for outdoor use, so it can be mounted outside. Keep the power connection sheltered and the camera under an eave where possible.
- Does it record without a subscription?
- It works with a microSD card or a TP-Link hub for local recording, depending on the kit. Cloud storage is optional and adds a subscription.
- How wide an area can it cover?
- The motorized head pans and tilts, so one unit can sweep a yard or large room. It cannot see the full width at once the way a fixed wide-angle camera can.
- Does it work with Alexa or Google Home?
- TP-Link's app supports voice assistants for live view on compatible smart displays. Check the listing for the exact assistant support on this model.
- Can I talk through it?
- Yes. It has a built-in microphone and speaker for two-way audio from the app.
- Does it need to be plugged in?
