◇ 50 minutes of sunlight time is based on standard environmental conditions (1000W/m2, 25°C, AM1.5) and specified working scenes (up to 100 events triggered per day). Actual required time of sunlight may vary.
§ 180-day battery life is based on TP-Link laboratory tests with 300s of use per day. Increased usage of 360s per day reduces battery to 140 days. Actual battery life may vary due to device settings, router specifications, usage, and environmental factors.
△ 5GHz band has more bandwidth but has decreased Wi-Fi range compared to 2.4GHz band. Ensure that your router is in range to use the 5GHz connection.
⌂ 24/7 Capture enables battery-powered cameras to take images at customizable intervals (such as every 1s, 5s, 10s, or up to 60s) even when no objects are detected, ensuring round-the-clock surveillance while conserving power. When an object is detected, the camera automatically switches to a standard recording mode, reducing missed events and false alerts.
