TP-Link TC72 Pan/Tilt AI Home Security Wi-Fi Camera 2K 4MP QHD
PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
TP-Link Pan/Tilt AI Home Security Wi-Fi Camera (TC72) - 3 Years Local Warranty
The TC72 is the AI-equipped member of TP-Link's indoor pan/tilt camera range: 2K QHD 4MP over a motorised head with 360 degree pan coverage, on-device machine learning that separates people, pets and vehicles from ordinary movement, a 99 dB siren, and - unusually for a consumer camera - published RTSP and ONVIF support. It is the model to specify when false alerts are the problem you are trying to solve.
2K QHD 4MP With a Starlight Sensor
A 1/3 inch progressive-scan CMOS Starlight sensor behind an F2.0, 4 mm lens delivers 2560 x 1440 at up to 30 fps, with 3D DNR noise reduction and WDR to hold detail against a bright window or shopfront. Twelve times digital zoom lets you pull in on a face or a plate in recorded footage, and the field of view is 88 degrees diagonal, 75 horizontal and 41 vertical.
On-Device AI That Knows a Person From a Curtain
The TC72 runs its detection locally. TP-Link publishes motion, person, pet, vehicle, line-crossing, tamper, baby-cry, meow, bark and glass-breaking detection, plus configurable activity zones - so a camera pointed at a corridor can ignore the ceiling fan and alert only on a person crossing a line you drew. Because the machine learning runs on the device rather than in the cloud, detection keeps working on a slow link and the video does not have to leave the premises to be classified.
360 Degree Pan Coverage and a 99 dB Siren
The motorised head pans 340 degrees for 360 degrees of pan coverage and tilts 69 degrees for 110 degrees of tilt coverage, so one unit in a corner reaches an entire room. A built-in siren rated at 99 dB, measured at 10 cm, gives the camera an active deterrent rather than only a record, and two-way audio with noise cancellation lets you speak through it from the app.
RTSP and ONVIF — Recordable by Third-Party Systems
TP-Link publishes both RTSP and ONVIF support for the TC72, which is the specification that matters if the camera has to feed a third-party NVR or VMS rather than only the Tapo app. Local recording is to a microSD card of up to 512 GB in the camera itself, with Tapo Care cloud storage available on subscription. Ask SourceIT if the camera is being specified into an existing recording platform - we will confirm the integration before you order.
Encrypted, Powered From a 9 V Adapter
Streams are protected with 128-bit AES encryption over SSL/TLS and the camera joins 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi with WPA/WPA2-PSK. It runs from a 9 V DC, 0.6 A adapter and measures 85.4 x 86.8 x 117.7 mm, mounting on a tabletop or a ceiling. Google Assistant and Amazon Alexa integration is published by TP-Link for this model.
Ideal For
Singapore homes, shops, clinics, childcare rooms and small offices that need one camera to cover a whole room with alerts worth acting on - and sites where the footage has to reach an existing NVR over ONVIF or RTSP. Supplied by SourceIT with local Singapore warranty, GST invoice and volume pricing on request.

Frequently Asked Questions — TC72
Can the TC72 record to an existing NVR?
Yes. TP-Link publishes both RTSP and ONVIF support for this model, which is what a third-party NVR or VMS needs. Send SourceIT the make and model of your recorder and we will confirm the integration before you order.
Does the AI detection work without a subscription?
Detection runs on the device itself - TP-Link lists on-device machine learning in the camera's security row. A Tapo Care subscription adds cloud storage and snapshot-bearing notifications; it is optional.
How much does it see at once?
The lens gives 88 degrees diagonal, 75 horizontal and 41 vertical. The motorised head then pans 340 degrees for 360 degree pan coverage and tilts 69 degrees for 110 degree tilt coverage.
Is it suitable for outdoor use?
No. TP-Link publishes no IP rating for the TC72 and its operating range is 0 °C to 40 °C, so it is an indoor camera. Ask SourceIT for an IP-rated model for outdoor positions.
What warranty does SourceIT provide?
Three years local Singapore warranty. Every TC72 sold by SourceIT comes with a GST invoice and local warranty support.
