    Do they have continuous monitoring? I’m guessing, No. just motion detection and recording ?

    • Blitzfx on 27/06/2025 - 22:20

              @parad0x: Mate that '45 Minutes of daily direct sunlight ensures all-day monitoring' is only for motion based based work. If it was continuously recording it won't last all day

              • parad0x on 28/06/2025 - 13:08

                @ninohax: Yes, quite literally the use case for this camera, so what's the issue?

                Won't? You sure about that? What's your source? I have a Rep from TP-Link themselves saying it would likely last upto a week, and I don't think too much consideration was given for the solar factor into that equation because for 6hours a day right now, it would use nothing and during summar it will have no problems. But that aside…

                For what purpose do require surveillance footage when there is no movement exactly?

                If you have any answers to that question you want to look at something other than the bottom of a budget line, from a budget brand, along with foregoing WiFi, if you have legitimate security concerns or require your cameras to behave in a predictable manner as much of the time as possible. I can say beyond reasonable doubt that consumer grade Wifi is not fit for handling long distance streaming recordings from multiple sources in addition to the normal load being placed on it. Not only is it terrible for performance of the whole of your wireless network, it's extremely insecure. Jamming is within reach of savvy thieves, interception an monitoring in reach of people you don't want controlling your surveillance.

                I do have to stand corrected, regarding the ability to enable 24/7 via NVR, as it's Tapo not VIGI and TP-LINK killed the workaround to this descrepancy, and rightly so. No $60 camera with a battery and Wifi performs 24/7.

                Analogous to there being a reason only super/hyper cars race LeMans - they're specifically designed for that purpose, and your insurance failing to pay out when your road car bursts into flames a couple of hours in - this is not the the proper use of a production car.

                Hope that clears things up.

        • mitt on 28/06/2025 - 23:20

          Most of these solar battery models get their operating timeframes assuming they are doing event-only recording & are not streaming. They shut off most of their functionality to extend runtimes to the advertised figures.

          For this price it's great value.
          I've had to reset a camera once or twice in the first month but nothing since.
          I'm running them outdoors off a wifi extender about 50m from the house.
          Solar panel keeps them at 100% easily but I may only get 10 to 30 hits a day so hardly a heavy user.
          Footage is good enough for me and I like that I don't need a subscription.

      • Lone star on 01/07/2025 - 11:41

        Wow.. thanks a great price. Where and what occasion/sale was it? If that price comes up again, I'll grab another 3 pack.

        • DarwinBoy on 01/07/2025 - 23:11

          Sorry. That was $112 each at the semi frequent sale price. Not on sale price was often $130-150 at different retailers.
          The multipack without solar panels did often go a good price but i needed solar panels so was stuck waiting.

      • cunningdrew on 28/06/2025 - 08:06

        I have 2 cams and just bought this one, so am basically gonna do the same as you. Do you store locally to each device on card? Or do you store in cloud and pay the subscription? Or can you store on their hub product and have data feed to that via wifi? Thanks

        • UberZ on 28/06/2025 - 10:00
          +1

          I simply just use SD cards in each of my cameras, still get the functionality (such as saving footage to your smartphone via wifi) and notifications all the same as using the cloud but obviously it has the drawbacks of needing to pay for the card for each unit, and the fact that nefarious people could remove the card and you would be left without any trace of any footage but $15 a month for cloud storage is pretty steep imo.

          I'm not actually sure about the functionality with the tapo hub as I actually already have a separate controller and hub for all my smart products (I have too many smart products). But I would assume it would be a sort of intermediate option between having sd cards in every camera and cloud storage, acts as a centralised data storage option for all the cameras in your home, rather than having sd cards in each and mostly removes that issue of having the sd cards removed and stolen from the cameras.

      • PVA on 28/06/2025 - 13:06

        So all functions are available without a monthly payment? Things like say, pet recognition, person detection, areas to monitor (so you can block a tree that moves all the time) , things like that.

        • parad0x on 28/06/2025 - 13:20

          Yes this is built in to most any camera sensor these days.

          Eg. ESP-CAM a sub $10 wireless, Bluetooth microprocessor with a host of features that make up many consumer smart devices, is capable of facial recognition entirely on device.

          • PVA on 28/06/2025 - 15:26

            @parad0x: I mean the camera OP has listed.
            The camera we have (no idea of brand) is similar to OPs with solar etc, but to do zoning, person sense, pets … thats all only with a subscription. The camera and software is capable but most is a paid service.

            • UberZ on 28/06/2025 - 17:30

              @PVA: The subscription is basically just for unlimited cloud storage and some (mostly superfluous) features, all the actual functions that are included with the camera do not require the subscription service, much better than Arlo…

            • parad0x on 28/06/2025 - 19:28

              @PVA: Then it's not happening on the camera, it's a cloud service

                  @PVA: And I've NEVER owned one that does. Stop buying cheap cameras subsidised with subscription services or overpriced hardware that charge a premium ad they expect anyone who buys their product automatically thinks they're required to pay.

                  **Key Reasons for Subscription-Based AI Services:*'
                  * Cloud Storage: Storing days, weeks, or months of video footage in the cloud is resource-intensive for the provider.
                  * Advanced AI Processing: While some basic AI is done on the camera, more sophisticated analytics (like facial recognition databases, complex behavioral analysis) often leverage cloud computing power.
                  * Feature Development & Updates: Subscriptions fund ongoing research, development, and delivery of new AI features, bug fixes, and security updates.
                  * Bandwidth & Infrastructure: Maintaining the cloud infrastructure to support millions of cameras and process vast amounts of video data is costly.
                  * Customer Support & Warranty: Subscriptions often include enhanced customer support and extended warranties.
                  * Professional Monitoring: Some subscriptions bundle AI features with 24/7 professional monitoring services.

      The solar panel is detachable, the camera, panel, mount and cable all come individually packaged in the box. There is also nothing stopping you from using a longer cord since the panel and camera both send/receive power from usb-c, I have a 5m usb-c cable connecting my solar panel to the camera so I can have the panel sitting on the roof in full exposed sun whilst my camera is in an eve which otherwise would not get enough light.

                @werdplaya58: Yeah the solar panel stays on the original larger mount. The camera has a circular mount and they give you a plastic cover to put on the larger mount to cover the place where the camera originally was. Can send you pics if it helps.

                • werdplaya58 on 28/06/2025 - 13:37

                  @parad0x: Silly me, @grassyass is right because I didn't realise the original mount can be separated into two mounts (the smaller mount for the camera is actually just screwed into a larger mount and can be unscrewed).

                  I'd attached the original larger mount and camera early on then went back to the box and found nothing else.

                  To your point, there are two options for mounting the camera, via an adapter onto the supplied mount, and also there is a screw hole on the base of the camera which looks to allow for a 1/4" thread mount like you suggested.

              • diesektor on 30/06/2025 - 10:59

                @werdplaya58: It's like a 2 in 1 mount. The circle camera bit comes off and you cover that part with a provided cover. Then the main bigger bit can be used purely for the solar panel. Meaning you can mount both the camera and solar panel however far apart you want (provided you have a cable to link them).

            • UberZ on 28/06/2025 - 11:05

              @grassyass: You're 100% right, my scatterbrain assumed that I had bought that adaptor separately (I really need to keep track of my purchases).

              • werdplaya58 on 28/06/2025 - 11:27

                @UberZ: In my case it was just a screw in hook into the timber fascia board. The camera was located on the front corner of the house under an awning, so ran the cord to the solar panel around the side of the house.

    Here is a silly question for the owners. When using local mode with memory SD card. Does it allow you to access recordings in the SD card without having to remove the SD from the camera? Say using your phone or a website.

      Yes you can, on the Tapo app there is a menu where you can playback previous recordings.

    Don't buy this… I bought one and it only lasted for 3 months due to water ingress. Terrible experience

    Does this feed in to home assistant for events or latest feed when or i can activate oitside lights?

    I just wish it didnt require drilling to be mounted. The places I'd like to put it would mean drilling into square metal poles, would rather not create a spot for water to get in.

    No stocks in WA but JB Hi-Fi price matched. The first person didn't price match it because there was no stocks but the second person did. Good luck

    I'm considering a product that claims "45 minutes of daily direct sunlight can support a full 24 hours of operation." My main concern is, can this really sustain 24/7 continuous streaming? With my Frigate and Home Assistant setup, I'd be checking feeds frequently and recording to my PC, demanding constant power. I find the "45 minutes of sunlight for 24h" claim quite optimistic for this kind of heavy usage. Has anyone used this product, or a similar solar-powered camera, for continuous streaming and can share their actual experience?

      It gets its long operating times by being on a kind of standby where it is still recording to its internal SD card. Some will give a standby figure that only waits for a person detection event & only then starts recording.

      For these solar battery cameras most models shut off a lot of functionality to extend operating life. Every time you connect to it you will bring it out of standby & drastically increase energy usage.
