Frequently Asked Questions
Does the TC90G require a subscription to work?
No. The TC90G works fully without a subscription. Insert a microSD card for local recording and receive motion alerts via the free Tapo app. Tapo Care is an optional paid upgrade for cloud storage and extended AI features.
How long does the battery last on a single charge?
Battery life varies based on activity levels, temperature, and settings. Under typical conditions with moderate motion events, the 10,000 mAh battery can last several months. Pairing with the Tapo A200 solar panel eliminates the need for manual recharging.
Can I use the TC90G indoors?
Yes. While designed for outdoor use with its IP66 rating, the TC90G can also be used indoors wherever a wire-free, battery-powered camera is preferred.
What Wi-Fi frequency does the TC90G use?
The TC90G connects to 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi networks only. Ensure your router broadcasts a 2.4 GHz SSID and that the camera is within reliable Wi-Fi range of your access point.
Is a microSD card included in the kit?
No. A microSD card is not included. The TC90G supports cards up to 512 GB (Class 10 or U3 recommended) for local video storage.
Does the spotlight activate automatically at night?
Yes. The spotlight can be configured to activate automatically on motion detection at night, illuminate continuously in low light, or be triggered manually via the Tapo app.
