You've got the 1080p camera. It's fine for 'is someone there?' but it falls apart when you need to identify a face, a plate, or what exactly that person was doing at the gate at 2am. You need more resolution without ripping out your setup.
The TC43 pushes to 3K 5MP — 2880 × 1620 pixels. Starlight colour night vision with built-in spotlights and a dedicated sensor pulls clear, full-colour images in low light. 360° horizontal, 130° vertical, and patrol mode lets you set multiple waypoints it cycles through automatically.
AI detection goes beyond people — it identifies pets, vehicles, tampering, and line-crossing events. That cuts the false alerts that make you stop checking the app after a week. Connect via Wi-Fi or Ethernet; dual antennas hold signal up to 492 ft in open areas.
IP66 rated. Custom sound and light alarm. microSD up to 512 GB or Tapo Care cloud (30-day free trial). Two-way audio. 2-year warranty. Add to cart and stop squinting at 1080p
