The TC55 has a floodlight with a color temperature of 5000K and a maximum brightness of 2800 lumens, and the floodlight brightness is adjustable. To meet the lighting and security needs, the TC55 is powered by electrical wires(supply voltage 110V-240V) rather than a power adapter, compared to other Tapo cameras. It also has 3 PIR sensors, but the PIR detection function is only for floodlight control rather than triggering the camera to record video.
