Description

This solar-powered security camera kit provides dependable outdoor surveillance with clear 1080p video, color night vision, motion and person detection, and convenient local or cloud storage options.

Features

Reliable Power Without Recharging
As little as 45 minutes of sunlight each day can sustain continuous operation, helping you avoid frequent charging interruptions. The built-in 5200mAh battery can last up to 180 days on low-sunlight days.

Smart Detection Included
Person detection is built in and alerts you when someone enters the camera's view, without requiring a subscription.

Clear View Day and Night
The camera streams 1080p live video with color night vision, delivering bright, detailed footage around the clock.

Multiple Recording Options
Record to a microSD card up to 512GB or use optional cloud storage through Tapo Care for extended video history.

Custom Alerts and Privacy Control
Set activity zones to reduce unwanted alerts and create privacy zones to block recording in sensitive areas whenever needed.

Designed for the Outdoors
The IP65 weather-resistant build ensures reliable performance through sunshine, rain, and seasonal changes.

Outdoor Security Without Wires
Flexible installation allows you to monitor outdoor areas without power cables. Ideal for:

• Backyards
• Driveways

Solar Charging for Everyday Use
With sufficient sunlight, the connected panel keeps the camera running continuously. Once installed, it can operate for long periods without being removed for charging.

Enhanced Night Monitoring
Color night vision helps capture key details after dark, providing more clarity than standard infrared-only cameras.

AI-Powered Awareness
Receive instant notifications when a person is detected. The camera reduces irrelevant alerts and focuses on meaningful activity.
