Just a heads up if someone is still sitting on the fence and missed the previous deal https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/911539
this camera has been further reduced(via price beat button) down from $67 to $61 @ TGG , can try you luck with Bunnnings or JB Hi-Fi to price match price beat .
I know ozbargaining has been flooded with these deals but its is what it is . Enjoy
Happy ozbargaining
which is more than this deal for $61
When I posted the comment, the title had the price at $99, and it mentioned that the price beat had expired.
ah gotcha
$61 for a camera and solar panel is pretty good. Hopefully the camera is decent. Bought 3 for pickup.
As per comments it’s not continuous recording . Open 1 box for now
Doesnt seem to be stock in Vic. Would invove paying for postage.
Would end up up around the same price delivered then since JB delivery is $7
order placed for one, thanks OP
Thanks grabbed 2.
Showing as $99? wheres the price beat button?
It is Price Check button (Pay Less with PRICE BEAT), just under the red $99 price tag, with a green tick
Grabbed one, thanks OP! This evens out the $93 I paid for it on Amazon a month ago. Will either be another addition to our home or a first one for my old man's.
A less honest person would be price matching TGG with office works, paying 0.95 * $63 ($59.85) for a new one; starting a return on their amazon order and sending back their new, sealed item they got from officeworks to Amazon (~$7 postage) and pur the $26.15 towards another one at Officeworks.
Haha, indeed. One day I'll have the time and energy to do all that…but it is not this day.
Could price beat at officeworks too, i guess.

Deal ends 2nd July that's tonight
Need the 4k to go on sale.
Hmm, tempting to get one for the front gate. Anyone price matched Bunnings?
Any good deals for an SD-Card for these cameras?
Do I connect my robots devices to this so they can start taking over world…
You do you.
Point them at yourself, so your robots can keep an eye on you at all times
Any separate solar panels people been using with these?
Not sure if this helps but.
Q3: How long is the charging cord for the Tapo A201 solar panel?
Charging cord length is 20cm/25cm, and can be extend with the 380 cm long A201 extension cord in the package.
The solar panel can be installed a reasonable distance from the camera.
It uses usb c to charge and quite a few cheap solar panels using that floating around.
My expience with the included one is it provides plenty of.charge so you could go smaller if your so inclined.
Cheers
how much stock is left, the price is constantly falling and rapidly too
I notice this says it does WiFi. Does anyone know if it'll be possible to Camera_WiFi > Router_WiFi > PC_CCTV_Software, rather than using anything Cloud, PhoneApp, or SD_Card?

This camera doesn't support RTSP/ONVIF. That is not to say you couldn't hijack the in-app stream somehow, but it's not going to be an easy task. They apparently do this with Home Assistant plugins based on a quick google - though seem to be only wired cameras, not this one. I would presume most NVR software aren't going to support this …
TAPO C410 - No RTSP/ONVIF sharing method.
Correct, No battery-powered cameras supports RTSP/ONVIF, even if they have solar charging. This is because RTSP/ONVIF requires always on 24/7 recording and battery-cameras do not support this application. This is to conserve the life of the battery itself as if these cameras recorded 24/7 the battery would drain in a matter of days or possibly even hours, depending on activity.
Has anyone put these in home assistant?
Does this have continuous recording?
No
I'm on the fence with getting this type vs putting in a bit more initial dollar (and wiring effort) in getting a wired outdoor cam for that sort of reason. Just the simplicity of constant recording, pan and tilt, no internal batteries to die long-term…
get a simple usb camera wired up - continuous recording, constant power.
I'm in same boat - had Arlo system, but only used when I charge them (LOL). This one has solar, however, I'm not very confident if it would be install and forget. Next thing would be wired with continuous recording.. thoughts?
Ive got a mix of tech at my house, of the power goes out (deliberately) then ive still got coverage
That's the way to go. These sorts of cameras miss the start of events and criminals are now using wifi jammers making them useless.
Does this support WiFi 2.4 / 5 Ghz ie Dual band ?.
as per the specs Connections Wi-Fi: IEEE 802.11b/g/n, 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi
whats on with this stupid site, wont let me login
Bunnings is estimating delivery mid August for stock.
Bought it without logging in, as good guys website is taking too long to respond to log-in
I do like the Camera. It is nice to sit inside and see what is happening in our street. The night vision is pretty good.
Got two at $61 each. Great deal

damn I just bought it from bunnings for $66 :( ripped off!
Battery barely moved in the first few days but since then has been dropping at a rate of around 5-10% each day. Any tips on which feature may be causing this?
Too many alerts. Have to do some digging which notifications you prefer, else everything that moves triggers the camera
Also you solar camera is in good spot? Also working ?
$66 at Bunnings.
