## Before you buy

- A microSD card is purchased separately, cloud storage requires a separate Tapo Care subscription.
- Listing details are inconsistent or unconfirmed: it gives a 180 Degrees field of view but also a 140 Degrees viewing angle, and promotes 5MP/2K while listing effective video resolution as 2000.0, the 210 days battery figure is a claimed maximum after full charging, while hardwired operation has different recording features. Check the selected listing and intended setup before buying.
