Tapo 2K QHD C425 KIT Solar-Powered Security Camera Kit

Description

The Tapo C425 KIT Solar-Powered Security Camera Kit is a wireless, battery-powered surveillance solution designed for outdoor monitoring, ideal for yards, garages, doorways, and farms. It includes the Tapo C425 camera and Tapo A200 solar panel for continuous power. The camera features a 1/3″ progressive scan CMOS starlight sensor, capturing 2K QHD (2560×1440) video at up to 30fps, delivering 1.7× more pixels than 1080p for crystal-clear details. The starlight sensor and dual built-in spotlights enable color night vision, providing vibrant images in low-light conditions (as low as 0.1 Lux), while 850nm IR LEDs offer black-and-white vision up to 49 feet (15m) in complete darkness. The 2.1mm fixed lens provides a 150° diagonal field of view (130° horizontal, 72° vertical) for wide coverage.

The 10000mAh rechargeable battery lasts up to 300 days on a single charge (based on 10-20 daily triggers of 30s clips, per TP-Link lab tests; actual life varies by usage). The included Tapo A200 solar panel delivers up to 4.5W charging power, requiring only 45 minutes of direct sunlight daily (1000W/m², 25°C, AM1.5, 100 events/day) for continuous operation, eliminating battery recharging needs. The camera supports 2.4GHz Wi-Fi with 802.11b/g/n protocols for stable connectivity. Free AI detection identifies people, pets, vehicles, and motion, with customizable activity zones to reduce false alerts. Two-way audio with a built-in microphone and speaker supports real-time communication, while a 94 dB siren and customizable light alarm deter intruders. An anti-theft alert notifies users if the camera is tampered with, and a privacy lock secures microSD data with a password via the Tapo app (Android 5.0+, iOS 10+). Storage includes microSD cards up to 512GB (not included, equivalent to ~840 hours of 2K footage) and optional TapoCare cloud storage for 30-day video history. The camera integrates with Amazon Alexa and Google Assistant for voice control and supports RTSP/ONVIF for third-party integration. The IP66 weatherproof camera and IP65 weatherproof solar panel ensure durability against rain, dust, and extreme temperatures (-20°C to 45°C). A quick-attach magnetic base and 4m (13ft) charging cable enable flexible installation, with options to mount the camera and panel together or separately. The kit is praised for its high-quality video, no mandatory subscription, and easy setup, though the micro-USB charging port (with USB-C adapter) is less modern, and charging efficiency may vary in low-sunlight conditions.
