I plan to purchase A200 to power my C425. The location of my C425 is outdoor, but it's sheltered therefore no direct sunlight (as attached). Will A200 work effectively to provide power to

 

Also, with A200 connect to my C425, can I turn on RTSP to save the recording to my Synology NAS as I did for other 2 IP cams .C425?

1. A solar panel's efficiency is influenced by direct sunlight. The panel can still collect and convert light energy in the absence of direct sunlight, however, in low-light conditions, the output power will be affected, and it may not be able to provide sufficient power.

 

For cameras, which require more power than lighting devices, it's recommended to install the solar panel in a location with direct sunlight.

 

2. As a battery camera, Tapo C425 does not support RTSP, which typically involves continuous streaming and consumes considerable power. Not even with a solar panel.
