Frequently Asked Questions
What does the TrolMaster TC-2 grow camera work with?
TrolMaster lists the TC-2 as compatible with the Hydro-X controllers (HCS-1, HCS-2 and HCS-3), the Tent-X (TCS-1) and the Green-X (GCS-1). Aqua-X controllers are not on that list. The manual starts app setup by asking which controller you want to link the camera to, and TrolMaster does not say whether it runs with no controller at all, so ring us before you order if you do not have one.
Does the TrolMaster TC-2 come with a microSD card?
No. The slot takes cards up to 256GB and sits under the water-resistant rubber cap, but there is no card in the box. Buy your own and refit the cap afterwards.
Does the TrolMaster TC-2 work on 5GHz Wi-Fi?
Yes. It connects on 2.4GHz or 5GHz Wi-Fi, or over a wired RJ45 Ethernet cable. If it will not join your network, TrolMaster suggests trying the 2.4GHz band, moving closer to the router, or holding the reset button for 5 seconds.
Is the TrolMaster TC-2 waterproof?
It is rated IP65, which means dust tight and protected against water jets, so splashes in a grow room are fine. It is not for submerging. TrolMaster gives an operating range of 0 to 50°C and up to 90% RH, and warns that long exposure above 40°C may shorten its life.
What is the difference between the TrolMaster TC-2 and the TC-1?
The headline difference is resolution: the TC-2 has a 2K 6MP sensor and our TC-1 listing quotes 3 megapixels. The TC-2 also offers 5GHz Wi-Fi, wired Ethernet, IP65 protection and two-way audio, but TrolMaster has not published a side by side against the TC-1, so do not assume the older camera lacks them.
What plug does the TrolMaster TC-2 power supply have?
We have not confirmed it, and TrolMaster does not publish the plug type. The adapter takes 100 to 240V in and gives 12V 1A DC out, so voltage is not the worry, only the plug shape. Ring us on 020 8686 9643 before you order if that matters to you.
Description
The TrolMaster Grow Camera (TC-2) is a 2K, 6 megapixel grow room camera that shows you a live view of your space in the TrolMaster TM+ Pro app, over Wi-Fi or a network cable. It is for growers who run a TrolMaster controller and want to check the room without walking in and disturbing it.
It films in 2K at 6MP, has a microSD slot for up to 256GB of local recording, and carries an IP65 rating for the damp, dusty reality of a grow room. It pans 355 degrees, tilts 120 degrees, and mounts on a wall or the ceiling. Two-way audio is built in too.
