Q: How close does the router need to be to the camera?
A: Hi Lynnie, Your router's 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi signal needs to be reliable and strong at the camera's location. You may be able to test this by taking another wireless device (e.g., smartphone, laptop) to the location(s) you plan to install the camera and check your router's 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi signal strength in the area(s).

For more information on approximate recording time supported by various microSD card capacity types, please visit our FAQ: https://www.tp-link.com/us/support/faq/3048/#_Maximum_Recording_Hours
A: You are in luck. I actually have this particular product at my home and can confirm that the feature is there. I don't recall if it was there from the get-go or if it was added later, but as long as you are on the up-to-date firmware, you should have the feature.
A: Hi Beautifulbaldman, The motion sensor is located on the camera itself and, to a degree, depends on the camera's set direction. For optimal results, the motion sensor should be kept level (e.g., its x-axis when facing the camera), with the camera tilted at about 22 ° downward. For best results, the camera should be mounted 8 ft (2.5 m) above the ground and positioned so that most movement passes through the lens' field of view (rather than directly toward the camera), helping trigger motion detection and AI detection.
Q: How long is the wire connection to the solar panel if separated from the base ?
A: Hi Mike, The included Solar Panel Extension cable is approximately 12 feet in length.
Q: Can the light be turned off by app? This would be for use outside at an apartment complex.
A: Hi Curious, Yes, you can conveniently turn off the light using Tapo app on your smartphone.

I bought this camera primarily to replace a similar camera I had from the ring brand because I no longer wish to accept their terms of not keeping my footage private. So far, this brand seems to uphold that at least to a greater degree than the other company I mentioned does. So for now, I will stick with these. This tp link C615F is actually a pretty good camera for the price, and it works pretty well. I do wish they had a version with better picture quality with this exact design. When you try to find that, it actually takes you to a different design camera that is wired, and I guess because being a wireless setup with the solar panel they went with a lower picture quality to preserve battery life. But in all honesty, if you have the solar panel in a good area for plenty of sunlight coverage I don't really see this being a problem, at least in the early stages of this camera's lifespan, which in my case is less than a month up to this point. Other than that, everything works really good, and I'm quite pleased with the device. It doesn't quite have the bells and whistles that I was used to with the other brand I had mentioned but I am okay with that and perfectly content with the switch nonetheless. I do like the fact that you can set up a profile where different alerts have a different sensitivity level of triggering an actual alert. For instance, you can set a person detection sensitivity level higher than say a pet alert sensitivity level. Also, when the flood light comes on, it has more than enough light to light up the area I have this camera in, and if it were too much, you can adjust the brightness of it and make it dimmer. You can also set how long it continues to record when something triggers it and the camera will follow whatever has triggered it, which is nice also. It has a patrol mode where you can make it scan back and forth to different areas that you would configure it to. I wish they had the ability in the Tapo app to configure it where different cameras had a different alert sound. That way you could tell which camera is being triggered before even looking at it. All in all though, I think this is a great device and I do not regret purchasing it at all.
