A:AnswerU3: UHS speed class: U3 indicates the cards speed. This card, will have the ability to record 2K and 4K video. A U3 card can record up to 30 MB/s.
A2: Application performance class. There are two classes, A1 & A2. A2 is 2.5 to 4 times faster. This is the input-output, write speed of the card.
V30: Video speed class
I’m far from an expert, but I believe the U3 rating is the most important. I purchased cards from known manufactures that had both U3 and A2 ratings in 256GB & 512GB.
I don’t think you need a pro/extreme/endurance card since the card will not be written to over and over. However, temperature might be an argument for one.
FYI: Samsung EVO Select is exclusive, Amazon branding, and is identical to Samsung EVO Plus.
A:AnswerHi! Yes, you can use our Tapo A200 solar charger: https://www.bestbuy.com/site/tp-link-tapo-mountable-solar-panel-for-tapo-home-security-cameras-white/6562035.p?skuId=6562035
A:AnswerNo. A Tapo Care cloud storage subscription is only required for cloud storage. Local storage does not require a subscription; only a Micro SD card (not included).
A:AnswerHi! Yes, you can access the cameras from multiple phones. Depending on your management preferences, you either can sign in to your primary Tapo account on each phone for full administrative access on each device, or you can share your Tapo devices with family accounts by following the steps in our FAQ: https://www.tp-link.com/us/support/faq/2613/
Family shared accounts will have access to the Live View, Talk, Voice Call, Pan/Tilt Control, and the SD card video Features of Tapo Cameras, but will be unable to change the other settings of the cameras.
A:AnswerYes, absolutely. You can connect each camera to a separate 2.4GHz Wi-Fi network. As long as you use the same Tapo account during setup, they will all be accessible and manageable as long as the cameras and your phone have Internet connectivity.
A:AnswerThe batteries can be recharged but you would have to dismount the camera and plug it to do so. I found that the camera does not last 300 days as it depends on the settings. But so far it has lasted a reasonable amount of time before having to recharge.
A:AnswerThe unit has micro usb port for charging. As with any rechargeable battery they will lose capacity over time. I do not see a way to open the unit to replace the battery.
A:AnswerThe connectivity is the same as with any wireless 2.4GHz connection. Disruption would be caused by lost of servier or interference but that would be no different than with any wireless/cloud communication. As long as you have a stable and strong network you should not have any problems with the cameras.
A:AnswerHi DCbos,
That is correct. A hub is not included or required. For local storage, each camera can support a Micro SD card (not included) with a capacity of up to 512 GB.
A:AnswerHi Dan77077,
The Tapo TC85 Wire-Free Indoor/Outdoor camera supports local storage via a Micro SD card (not included), which you can remove from the camera, insert into your PC, and copy recorded footage to your PC.
A:AnswerThey don't use a hub or anything so you can have as many as you want. You just add the cameras as a new device in the software and they are attached to your wifi network.
A:AnswerHi! No, the Tapo TC85 Indoor/Outdoor cameras are wire-free. They connect to your network via Wi-Fi and are powered by rechargeable, 10000mAh batteries.
