When the SD card gets full does it record over the oldest recordings?
Asked by: Larry
Yes, once the Micro SD card (not included) reaches full capacity, the oldest recorded footage will be overwritten with the newest. You can toggle this loop recording feature on or off in the Tapo app.

Will this work with Xfinity Dual Band Wifi 802.11ac?
Asked by: Liucijus
Hi! Yes, the camera supports connectivity via 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi. As long as your dual-band Wi-Fi router is broadcasting its 2.4 GHz signal, and the network is encrypted (password protected), it wil be able to connect.

Will this work with Verizon 5G Internet cube?
Asked by: Frank
The TP-Link Tapo C420S2 4MP Smart Wire-Free Security 2-Camera System requires a 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi connection. If a Verizon 5G Internet cube does not also support 2.4 GHz, the cameras will not work with your router.
