Good to know

  • Version-specific record for the V2 kit. No standalone V2 price is asserted from the two-pack price.
  • The store markets a 150-degree field of view without a horizontal designation; no horizontal angle is inferred.

Will it cover your yard?

TP-Link Tapo doesn't publish the horizontal field of view or resolution we need, so the planner can't place this model automatically. We'd rather leave it out than guess.
