TP-Link Tapo TC41 V2 Spherical IP security camera Indoor & outdoor 2304 x 1296 pixels Ceiling/Wall/Pole

Smart. Secure. Easy. The TC41 Outdoor Pan/Tilt Security Wi‑Fi Camera provides 360° horizontal and 130° vertical coverage to monitor outdoor areas. It records in 2K resolution (2304 × 1296 px) for clearer detail than standard 1080p, and combines full‑colour imaging with infrared night vision to adapt to lighting conditions. Built‑in spotlights enable full‑colour capture, while an infrared mode extends visual range up to 98 ft with lower energy use. The camera is IP65 rated for water and dust resistance and supports two‑way audio, voice assistants, and a physical privacy mode that blocks the lens.

Advantages

The TC41 delivers wide visual coverage and high‑resolution imaging to capture finer details across larger outdoor areas. Its Smart Mode uses motion detection to automatically light the scene and switch to full‑colour recording for improved identification. Smart motion tracking with fast pan/tilt rotation follows movement, and multiple customizable detection zones help focus alerts on what matters. The unit is built for outdoor use with IP65 protection and offers convenience features such as two‑way audio, voice control compatibility (Alexa and Google Assistant), and a hardware privacy shutter.
