Looking for a reliable outdoor camera with night vision and a wide range of features? The TP-Link Tapo TC42 is currently available on Alza for just 1,499 CZK, which represents the best offer on the Czech market. It originally cost 1,899 CZK, so you save a full 400 crowns. For the discounted price, you get a model with 2K resolution, full 360° rotation, and advanced AI detection that recognizes people, vehicles, and even pets.

Sharp image day and night thanks to 2K resolution

The Tapo TC42 records in 2K QHD resolution (2560 × 1440 pixels), which is a standard value among cameras with a similar price. In practice, this means you can clearly distinguish faces or license plates in the recording even at a greater distance than if you had purchased a model with lower FullHD. In the evening and at night, the camera automatically switches to color night vision mode with Starlight technology. While most cameras in this price category only offer black and white night vision, the TC42 captures a color image up to a distance of 30 meters. This makes it easy to recognize the color of clothing or a car even in complete darkness.

Full area coverage thanks to 360° rotation

One of the biggest advantages of this camera is its motorized 360° horizontal and 130° vertical rotation. The camera thus covers literally every corner of your property without blind spots. You can set up a patrol mode where the camera automatically moves between your designated points – for example, the entrance, gate, and garage. When the camera detects movement, it automatically rotates to follow the object, so you won’t miss anything important.

Intelligent AI recognizes people, cars, and animals

The Tapo TC42 uses advanced AI detection that reliably recognizes whether a person, a car, or even just a neighbor’s cat is moving in your view. This means you won’t be bothered by unnecessary notifications every time the wind rustles the branches. The camera will only alert you to important events – for example, when someone walks past your car or approaches your front door. In the app, you can also set up your own detection zones and determine which areas are a priority for you.

Resistant to rain, dust, and frost

With IP66 rating, the TC42 camera is ready for any weather. It reliably functions in rain, snow, strong winds, and dusty environments. Operating temperatures from -30 °C to +60 °C mean that the camera can easily handle Czech winters and summer heat. You can therefore safely mount it on a house wall, under a roof, or on a gate post.

Flexible connection and stable signal

You can connect the camera either via 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi or using an Ethernet cable for maximum stability. Two powerful external antennas ensure reliable wireless connection up to a distance of 150 meters in open space. This is especially useful when placing the camera in more distant parts of the property where ordinary cameras would have signal issues.

Storing recordings on a card or in the cloud

You can store camera recordings on a microSD card with a capacity of up to 512 GB, which corresponds to approximately 512 hours of recording in 2K quality. Alternatively, you can use Tapo Care cloud storage with a 30-day free trial. The cloud has the advantage that recordings remain safe even if someone damages or steals the camera.

Other practical features

The camera offers two-way audio, so you can communicate with visitors or couriers even when you’re not home. Built-in LED spotlights not only enable color night vision but also function as a warning light. In combination with an adjustable sound alarm, they can deter an uninvited visitor before they get closer to the house. All functions are controlled via the clear Tapo app for Android and iOS, which also supports voice control via Google Assistant or Alexa.

Will you take advantage of this discount on the TP-Link Tapo TC42 outdoor camera?
