Landlord looking for camera with lights for alley entrance
After the successful installment of the TP-Link S4 to extend connectivity to the tenant in the back studio flat in my property (as documented on this group with appreciated advice from members), I am now investigating a security camera with lights for the back alley to her entrance.
I am keen to go with TP-Link again. The forums were very useful for the research into mesh networks.
The S4 node is near the back door. I estimate even with a 3m L-pole, there will be less than 20m distance from the node and the elevated camera. If need be I can attach a wire between the node and the camera (I hope).
The flat entry door is about 15 metres from the alley gate. I want there to be light when anyone enters the gate. Will the lights of the Tapo C310 and Tapo C320WS be adequate? They are Which Best Buys for outdoor TP Link security cameras.
Any personal insights?
Many thanks once again.

Hi,
The Tapo C320WS and the Tapo C310 are outdoor security cameras, they support wired and Wi-Fi connection, but the Tapo C320WS has white Light LED & IR LED and the C310 has IR LED only.
They have 850 nm IR LED with up to 98 ft (30m) night vision, so when they work in Night mode, I think they are able to detect motion 15 meters away, however, only the Tapo C320WS's white LED can light when detecting motion, and the Tapo C310 does not have the white LED.

Thank you for your response.
I have been unclear: I am looking for a security light that illuminates the alley at night in addition to a security camera. I have shared a photo of the tenant's alley entrance.
Here is my question on the Which forum:
Here is some advice I was given on the Which forum:
I don't know about electronic interference. It's possible I suppose.

Hi,
Thank you for the information sharing, I think the advice on the Which forum is no problem to install a light and a camera. However, I'm curious about your usage scenario. Do you want to trigger the smart light on after the camera detects motion and then trigger the smart light off when there is no motion for some time?
Best Regards
