Does the Tapo C400 work with HomeKit, Alexa, and Google Home?

The Tapo C400 runs on a battery, so it needs no outlet and no hub.

It records 1080p video, has a solar panel sold separately, works with Alexa and Google Assistant, and does not support RTSP or ONVIF. It suits Google Home and Alexa users, with native support through the maker's cloud.
