Welcome to the setup guide.

To ensure equal access for all users, we offer this accessible setup guide. This guide is designed to meet accessibility needs, enabling a successful setup. It will introduce the appearance of the solar panel, as well as the camera, including its ports, buttons, and labels, and then guide you through the setup process.

 

Step 1. Know about your camera

In this section, we will describe the appearance of the solar panel, as well as the camera, including its ports, buttons, and labels.

1. You can find your solar panel and camera in the package.

Solar Panel: The solar panel is typically a rectangular panel with a power cord and a snap fit on the back. At the end of the power cord, there is a USB Type-C connector for plugging into the camera's charging port to begin solar charging.

The camera is composed of two rectangular blocks. The bigger one is the floodlight part on top, and the smaller one is the camera body on the bottom.

2. Next, keep the floodlight on the top and the camera body on the bottom. 

To ensure the camera is placed correctly, you should position it with the lampshade and the camera lens facing forward.

3. After positioning your camera correctly, we will introduce the ports, buttons, and labels on your device in a certain order.

Floodlight: For enhanced security by providing adjustable brightness, motion activation, flexible area monitoring, and vibrant color night vision for effective surveillance.

Lens: For capturing things within its view.

Motion Sensor: It is on the left side of the camera Lens for detecting motion.

Microphone: For capturing your voice. It is on the upper left of the lens.

Status LED: It is on the upper right of the lens, showing your camera status. You can check the camera status on the Tapo app.

IR LEDs: For creating black-and-white images at night. They are on the right side of the lens, the two on the upper right and lower left.

Light Sensor: It is right below the lens for detecting whether the environment is dark or bright.

On the bottom of the camera body, you can locate the silicone cover for the microSD card slot, the Power button, and the Reset button. Once opened, you'll find the microSD card slot on the top, the Power button on the left, and the Reset button on the right.

microSD Card Slot: While facing the bottom of the camera with the lens looking upward, insert a microSD card with the notch on the right side, and gold contacts facing the slot.

RESET Button: The reset button is a circular, raised button on the right. While the camera is on, press and hold the RESET button to reset the camera. 

Press and hold for 5 seconds: Reset Wi-Fi settings only
Press and hold for 10 seconds: Reset to factory settings

Turn to the back side of the floodlight part to find the speaker and the silicone cover for the USB Type-C Charging Port.

Speaker: It is on the left side of the cover for producing sound, allowing you to hear the audio.

USB Type-C Charging Port: Open the cover for USB charging.

 

Step 2. Set Up

1. Get the Tapo app from the App Store or Google Play, then log in.
