Description

Secure your garden with the TP-Link Tapo C425 Solar Kit. Because of the included solar panel, you barely have to charge the camera yourself. With half an hour of direct sunlight, the battery lasts a day longer. This makes the camera very sustainable. The camera is wireless, so you can easily install it anywhere. You can connect the solar panel to the camera via a cable. This allows you to place the panel up to 4m away from the camera. That way, you can choose the best place for the Solar Kit yourself. The C425 records footage in 2K sharpness. You can store this footage directly in the camera with an SD card. In the app on your smartphone, you can rewatch the recorded footage. Note: the SD card isn't included.

Could be better

Outdated USB connection

Installation and connection with the app are quite easy; the battery charges well with the included solar panel facing south. A detailed manual for all the app settings is missing. The camera is sharp and clear during the day; detection is reasonable; at night or in darkness, detection via the IR camera is rather limited, although a range of 30 m is reported. I may need to continue searching for a better setting.

Absolute value for money

Charges well in the sun
Detection zones are easy to set
Easy installation
Charges only in full sun

Very handy cam with good image quality, even at night. With the 4 meter supplied cord you can place the solar cell in a handy (in the sun) location. You will have to find a solution yourself how to neatly hide that cord (apply a cord groove). Handy app that lets you easily set everything and also gives insight into the status of your battery of the cam.
