TP-Link Tapo TC43 — 2K QHD Indoor Pan/Tilt Camera with Spotlight Colour Night Vision

The Tapo TC43 is a 2K QHD (2560 × 1440) indoor pan/tilt camera that keeps its footage in colour around the clock. A built-in spotlight lights the scene at night, so faces and clothing stay identifiable instead of washing out to grey infrared. The motorised base pans 360° and tilts 114° for effectively full-room coverage from a desktop or ceiling mount (hardware included), and on-board AI flags people specifically rather than every movement. Two-way audio lets you talk through the camera, recordings save to a microSD card up to 512 GB, and a physical lens-rotation privacy mode means the camera visibly can't see you when you're home.

Core Technology

• 2K QHD detail — 2560 × 1440 resolution captures roughly double the pixels of 1080p, so zoomed-in stills of faces and small objects hold up far better.
• Colour night vision with spotlight — The built-in spotlight keeps overnight recordings in full colour — far more useful for identification than grey IR footage.
• 360° pan / 114° tilt — Steer the camera around the whole room from the Tapo app; one unit replaces multiple fixed cameras in an open-plan space.
• AI person and motion detection — Get notified when a person appears, not just when something moves — fewer false alarms from pets, fans and shifting light.
• Physical privacy mode — The lens rotates away at a tap, giving visible, mechanical assurance the camera isn't watching while you're home.
• Flexible storage and smart home ties — Record locally to microSD up to 512 GB with no fees, add Tapo Care cloud if wanted, and pull up the live view on Alexa or Google Home displays.

Where It Fits

Ideal for living rooms, nurseries and home offices where colour night footage and sharp 2K detail matter. Indoor use only (0–40 °C) — for outdoor pan/tilt coverage, the weatherproof TC46 or TC47 is the right choice.
