Capture 2K QHD Resolution Video
The camera uses a 1/3" progressive scan CMOS Starlight sensor to capture 2560 x 1440 resolution video at 30 fps. IR LEDs deliver up to 49' of night vision. Additionally, dual spotlights provide illumination for recording full color video at night and in low-light conditions, while deterring unwanted activity.

The camera features a 2.1mm fixed lens that provides a 150° diagonal angle of view, a built-in speaker and microphone for two-way audio with noise cancellation, a memory card slot that supports microSD cards up to 512GB (available separately), and a reset button.

This camera is IP66 rated for safe outdoor use.

Continuous Solar Charging
The solar panel provides continuous charging to deliver power to the camera. 45 minutes of direct sunlight powers the camera for a full day, eliminating the need to recharge the camera's internal lithium-ion battery.

This solar panel is IP65 rated for safe outdoor use.

Can the camera be connected to the AC charger full time?
Asked by: Michael
Hi Michael, Yes, the charger can be connected full-time. Please note, however, that the included power adapter/charger and its connector are not weatherproof. So, if you plan to use the camera outdoors, the camera, charger, and connector need to be sheltered from the elements. Alternatively, you may want to consider our Tapo Solar Panel, which is designed to charge the camera using solar power and is equipped with weatherproofing elements.

Does this unit require a hob? And/or can it be added to a system which utilises two Taps 420S2's?
Asked by: Carina
The TP-Link Tapo C425 Smart Wire-Free Security Camera only requires that you have Wi-Fi 2.4ghz to connect to when using the Tapo App. The camera does not require a HUB to operate in your home. Also since this is a Tapo camera it can be added to an existing set of Tapo cameras so you can view all of them in the Tapo App.
