Model: Tapo C425  
Hardware Version:
Firmware Version:

Basically as the title.

I would love to have the option to turn on continuouse recording for the battery powered devices like C425, when I have solar panel, or continuouse power source. While i currently don't have power available, but I would love to have an option to just plug it in later when i have a chance to hire someone to add an new outdoor outlet, and I don't necessary need to change my camera.

plus, we can have soloar panel

The lack of the ability to do this almost renders my c425's useless, compared to my C210. Not sure why this isn't a default feature, but I'll explain how important the feature is for me, and why I'm considering returing the c425's and buy a couple more c210's instead. Unlike the cameras that are always on, the battery cameras only detect on motion. What I have found though, is that it takes a second or 2 for the camera to identify a subject. That means, all my videos with people didn't capture them the moment they entered the frame. Because the c210's always record, the clip that I see has a second or 2 prior to the subject coming in frame. It's an annoying thing to deal with, especially at after spending so much on these cameras.

Yes if solar is detected. However I think with the cameras not having a dedicated SD card, there may be issues with excessive drop-outs sending continuous streams to the HUB nvr.

I also bought C425 kit and feel like replacing them with C320ws, there are few second/s delay in recording for C425 so most of the time im unable to see the person's face. Having continuous recording in C425 would be good

Having the option of Continuous 24-hour recording would be a big improvement especially with using a solar panel.

If this feature isn't added I will be returning the C425 and going with another company.
