Our take on the TP-Link TC73 Pan/Tilt AI Home Security Camera

The TP-Link TC73 is a pan/tilt Wi-Fi camera that records 2K (2560x1440) video and is rated for both indoor and outdoor use. Its motorized head pans and tilts to cover a wide area, and it adds night vision, motion detection, a speaker and microphone for two-way talk, all controlled through the TP-Link app. It suits people who want one camera to watch a yard, driveway or large room without wiring. Against fixed indoor cubes it covers more ground, but it is bulkier and needs steady Wi-Fi at the edge of the property.

Questions and answers

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?
Yes, it runs on mains power through its adapter. There is no battery, so plan the cable route before mounting.
