* 180-day battery life is based on Tapo laboratory tests with 250s of use per day. The time of use includes recording and watching live views. Actual battery life may vary due to device settings, usage, router specifications, and environmental factors.
** microSD card purchased separately. Actual storage capacity depends on the size of the microSD card used. The recording days in the table are estimated based on the average video bitrate measured in the laboratory and 40 daily events. Actual recording days may vary depending on scene complexity, dynamic scene proportion, frame rate settings, and the camera model's supported resolution.
† Actual charging power may vary based on installation location, weather conditions, temperature, and other environmental factors.
# The suitable operating temperature for the Solar Panel is -4°F to 113°F. The battery charging temperature should be maintained between 32°F and 113°F.
