Does the solar panel keep it charged all year?

In direct sun, about 45 minutes a day is enough for normal use. In shade, short winter days or heavy recording, expect to recharge the battery by hand.

Do I need a subscription?

No. A microSD card up to 512 GB stores recordings locally. Tapo Care cloud storage is optional for off-site backup and extra AI features.

How good is the night vision?

It switches to color night vision up to about 30 ft when light is available, and uses infrared in full darkness. The 9.1 m range covers a driveway or small yard.

Can it tell people from animals?

Yes. On-device AI flags people and sends notifications. It does not label vehicles or packages.
