Get the 2k or better. It also has better night vision if I recall.
Reasoning is pretty simple; zooming in is super grainy, better to have more megapixels when doing that. Wheather it's an important reason or just curiosity, if you can't see what you're looking at zoomed in, it's annoying.

Thanks for the tip! 3K pan/tilt is $35, only $10 more than the OP (albeit white rather than black)
I just discovered that Tapo cameras won't send Rich notifications without a paid subscription. Kind of a bummer since the cameras seem to be a pretty good value
Can it record to SD card without being connected to Wifi/internet, like old Wyze cams?
Are you asking if the camera remains a camera and writes to an sdcard if it's not connected to a network? If so, yes. Plenty of outages where I can view recordings while "offline."

This comment is still false. There are multiple models that send rich notifications that dont require Tapo subscription.
If you have experience for these pan tilt models I'm curious whether the pan tilt eventually stops working. I know it would stop working after some number of years but I'm wondering if it stops working a lot more quickly than the rest of the electronics breakdown

I don't have this brand but one Eufy randomly pans once every few days or so. I've had it for about 5 years. Everything else works ok. It's not normal for a pan cam to fail like that. I'm ready to switch to a different brand.

Im assuming its only older models that can still do rich notifications without Tapo care, so in my opinion its a pretty fair statement. My C120 and D130 doorbell both require tapo care if I want rich notifications.
Tapo themselves states tapo care is required for rich notifications in their Free vs Premium comparison table.

I have two Indoor 2k models that are 3+ years old. I used both outdoors, 1 under a bungalow front porch slightly exposed to southwest and northwest winds. The other at the back door entrance overhang, facing south only exposed to southeast / east winds.
Back porch was never used to actively track; that feature was turned off.
Both pan tilt movements on the cams worked fine. They both had difficulty finding their home positions after tracking objects. It would, slightly up or down, left or right, come up short of the desired position. That's more of a software issue I think. Motor-wise, they're fine.
After 3 years, the front porch cam, which is most exposed to weather and used to track motion, has been going offline for days and then randomly comes back. The video quality is poorer than the back door cam, so I switched them. I ordered newer ones that are for outdoor use to replace the intermittent one. I feel that the pan tilt is fine but precipitation and age has finally tormented the one into submission.
Turning the tracking features off during storms in higher foliage areas is probably a good idea if you remember, to prolong the life of the motor & gears. They can go kinda crazy tracking hanging flags or cobwebs and such at times.
I would think there's been some improvements to the tracking and pan tilt features on the newer models than my older models.

I wonder if it is 'recalibrating'

Im still happy with my cameras. I'd rather have free 24/7 local recording over rich snapshots.
