C310 and solar panel
This thread has been locked for further replies. You can start a new thread to share your ideas or ask questions.
Hello everyone.
I own a bunch of Tapo cameras, one of them is a C310 in my yard. I used to have a power socket next to the camera to power it, but I'm having electrical issues and I had to shut that socket off forever (need to make a whole new wiring throughout all the yard, and it will wait sice it'll cost big money).
I was wondering: is it ever possible to power the C310 with a solar panel?
What specs should i look for? What connectors?
Solar panel A200 is still unavailable in Italy.
Thanks everyone
Hi,
1. The Tapo C310 is designed to be powered by a DC Power adapter rather than a solar panel, and I can't promise the solar panel will work fine with the Tapo C310.
2. You can refer to the Tapo C310's datasheet on the official website to know the power spec. For example, for the Tapo C310(EU)2.0, the Power Adapter Output(Camera input) is 9.0 V/0.6 A (DC Power).
And the Tapo C310 has a DC Power Connector.

3. The Tapo A200 can't be used to power the Tapo C310. It's used to power the Tapo battery-powered cameras(such as Tapo C425, Tapo C420, and Tapo C400).
