PRODUCT DESCRIPTION

TP-Link Smart Wire-Free Security Camera (TC85) - 2 Years Local Warranty

The TC85 is a battery-powered, fully wire-free 2K QHD security camera with an IP66 weather rating, a 10000 mAh internal battery and a magnetic base. There is no cable to run and no socket to find - it mounts where the view is, indoors or out, and runs for months between charges. For a Singapore landed property, side gate, balcony or shophouse rear entrance, it removes the electrician from the job entirely.

Genuinely Wire-Free, on a 10000 mAh Battery

A 10000 mAh built-in rechargeable lithium-ion battery powers the camera outright. TP-Link's published figure is up to 300 days on a single charge based on laboratory tests at 230 seconds of use per day; at 360 seconds per day the same tests give 180 days. Real battery life varies with settings, router distance, usage and environment. Where the camera is mounted somewhere sunny, the optional Tapo A202 solar panel keeps it topped up permanently - it is sold separately.

2K QHD With Full-Colour Night Vision and Twin Spotlights

A 1/3 inch progressive-scan CMOS Starlight sensor behind an F1.6 lens gives 2K QHD 4MP at 2560 x 1440, with a 142 degree diagonal field of view - wide enough for a driveway or a whole rear yard from one position. An 850 nm infrared LED reaches 49 ft (15 m) in darkness, and two built-in spotlights enable full-colour night vision when you want a face or a vehicle colour rather than a grey silhouette. WDR and 3DNR hold detail against Singapore's hard midday contrast.

IP66, Person, Pet and Vehicle Detection, and a 94 dB Siren

The camera body is rated IP66 for dust and water, which covers driving tropical rain on an exposed wall. A dedicated motion sensor with a 130 degree horizontal field works alongside AI detection for motion, person, pet and vehicle, with activity zones so a camera pointed at a gate can ignore the road. A 94 dB siren, measured at 10 cm, gives an active response, and two-way audio with noise cancellation lets you speak to whoever is there.

Local microSD Recording Up to 512 GB

Footage records to a microSD card in the camera - up to 512 GB, purchased separately - with Tapo Care cloud storage available on subscription for off-site retention and snapshot-bearing notifications. The camera joins 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi at 802.11b/g/n with WPA/WPA2-PSK, and streams are encrypted with 128-bit AES over SSL/TLS.

Magnetic Base, Three Mounting Options

A magnetic base ships in the box along with a metal plate, mounting template, screws and anchors, so the camera can be placed on a tabletop, mounted on a wall or hung from a ceiling or soffit and then re-aimed by hand. Charging is over the supplied USB adapter cable. Operating range is -20 °C to 45 °C, and the camera works with Google Assistant and Amazon Alexa.

Ideal For

Singapore landed homes, condominium balconies, side gates, shophouse rear entrances, worksites and car porches - anywhere the right camera position has no power point. Supplied by SourceIT with local Singapore warranty, GST invoice and volume pricing on request.

TP-Link's published footnotes for this model: the 300-day battery figure is from laboratory tests at 230 seconds of use per day, and 360 seconds per day reduces it to 180 days; the IP66 rating applies to the TC85 camera only, not to accessories; the microSD card and the solar panel are both purchased separately. TP-Link publishes no product weight and no ONVIF or RTSP row for the TC85, so neither is stated here.

Frequently Asked Questions — TC85

How long does the battery really last?

TP-Link publishes up to 300 days per charge from laboratory testing at 230 seconds of camera use per day, falling to 180 days at 360 seconds per day. A busy gate or a driveway on a main road will trigger far more often than that, so treat the figure as a ceiling. The optional Tapo A202 solar panel removes the question entirely where the mounting position gets sun.

Is it fully weatherproof for outdoor use in Singapore?

The camera body is rated IP66, which covers dust and heavy driving rain. TP-Link's own footnote states that the IP66 rating applies to the TC85 camera only - accessories are not covered.

Does it record without a subscription?

Yes. Footage records locally to a microSD card of up to 512 GB in the camera. The card is not supplied. Tapo Care cloud storage is a separate optional subscription.

Can it feed an existing NVR?

TP-Link publishes no ONVIF or RTSP row for the TC85, so it should not be specified into a third-party recorder on that assumption. Ask SourceIT - we can confirm, or quote a VIGI camera where open-protocol recording is required.

What warranty does SourceIT provide?

Two years local Singapore warranty on the camera, with six months on the internal battery. Every TC85 sold by SourceIT comes with a GST invoice and local warranty support.
