I've installed 5 or 6 cameras up along the roofline and in trees around my property.  They're all connected via wifi and work perfectly.

I've had to change my wifi today and need to change it on the cameras.   After unplugging one, it flashes red, not red-green, and doesn't present an SSID that I can connect to.  From what I've read, I'm supposed to unscrew a tiny panel on the underside then press a reset button. 

Does tp-link actually expect me to climb up 20-30 feet a half dozen times, carefully unscrew a panel and not lose the tiny screws while balancing on a ladder poking a tiny hole?  Every time I have to change the wifi password?

What kind of a joke is this?

If I have to climb that ladder again, I'm doing it once and throwing out this junk.  It's a joke. 

There's no reason why it couldn't have been possible to force it into pairing mode for a few seconds after a power cut/restore so that it could be done remotely.  It's not exactly a huge security concern that someone's going to pick the exact correct 10 seconds and wait around for days for a power cut. They could just bring a stupidly large ladder with them.  That's what the tp-link designers certainly seem to expect anyone buying their outdoor cameras to do.
