- Day/Night Mode: true (Captures images/video with optimal clarity by automatically adjusting settings to various light levels.)
- IP Camera: true (An Internet Protocol (IP) camera is able to record and display image/video data via the internet, without need for a local recording device.)
- Number of IR LEDs: 4 (Quantity of infrared (IR) LED lights for emitting IR light and allowing the camera to detect objects in low light.)
- Camera Iris: Fixed (The iris is the opening on a camera that controls how much light reaches its image sensor, which in turn affects image/video clarity.

Automatic and "P" (precise) irises automatically adjust in response to changing levels of light and are suited for a wider variety of environments. "P" irises feature additional capabilities for improving footage clarity.)
- Image Sensor Type: CMOS (CCD and CMOS are the two main technologies used in image sensors. CCD, the older of the two types, turns analog light signals into digital pixels. This conversion happens without distortion, resulting in high-quality images. Newer CMOS sensors use transistors at each pixel to move electrical charges. CMOS sensors are typically less expensive, but also require more light to create distortion-free images.)

A: Hi! Yes, the Tapo app allows you to view recorded footage stored on the Micro SD card (not included). The camera will overwrite the oldest footage first once the card reaches full capacity.
A: Hi! Tapo Battery-Powered cameras are not designed or advertised for 24/7 continuous recording. However, these cameras do offer 24/7 motion detection, and will record activity when detected. You can customize detection parameters and sensitivity via the Tapo app to cater to your monitoring needs.
Q: Does this pack comes with the Magnet mount for the camara as well?
A: Hi! No, this pack is designed for hardware mounting for each camera - either to the Solar Panel + Mount Assembly, or to another surface if desired, using the included mounting hardware.
A: Hi Itzel, The camera requires Wi-Fi and Internet connectivity during setup; however, once set up, it can record locally to a Micro SD card (not included), even when Wi-Fi or Internet connectivity is lost, as long as it maintains power.
Q: What SD card is recommended for this camera?
A: I don’t recall seeing it in the specs. I currently use 128GB with no issues
Q: Can I record through WiFi to a hard drive
A: Hi jallen30043, Yes, if you use the Tapo H500 HomeBase, which supports installing a hard drive (sold separately) for video storage for supported Tapo Cameras. For more information on the H500 HomeBase: https://www.tp-link.com/us/home-networking/smart-hub/tapo-h500/
Q: Can motion detection be configured to start recording from a specific time?
A: Yes, you can schedule the specific time range for when a camera records detections and when it doesn't.
Q: Can you use these cameras without WIFI
A: Great Question, Gary!. Yes and No. If you are using local recording via a MicroSD card, the camera will still capture detection events even if the wireless connection is lost and the cameras still have a charge on its battery. However, you will still need to configure the cameras to a network, configure the MicroSD card, and set up the detection settings for the camera

Very happy with these security cameras.
I am very happy with these cameras. They give a clear picture of the areas we needed to focus on. Alarm is loud enough to create a second look but not disturbing to neighbors. After two breakins at our office and considerable damage, these will definitely detour additional vandalism
