Does the solar panel keep the camera charged year-round?

In good sun it does. In heavy shade or short winter days the panel may not keep up, especially with frequent 4K recording, so expect to recharge the battery now and then.

How is the C460 KIT different from a wired Tapo camera?

It runs on battery with solar top-up, so there is no cable to run. Wired models record continuously without charging, but you need power at the mounting spot.

Do I need a subscription?

No. You can record to a microSD card in the camera and watch live in the Tapo app. Cloud storage is optional and adds features like longer clip history.

The camera, the solar panel with its mounting bracket and cable, mounting hardware and a quick start guide. A microSD card is not included.

Does it work with Alexa and Google Assistant?

Yes. You can pull up the live feed on a compatible smart display or TV through either assistant.

How good is night vision?

It has infrared for black-and-white night footage and a spotlight for color night video. The spotlight is bright enough to light a doorway but not a whole yard.
