Model: Tapo C410  
Hardware Version:
Firmware Version:

It is said, by design, C410 does not support continuous recording. The reason is it would drain too much battery.

 

However, the design includes an USB-C charging port and now supports solar panel connection for charging. Therefore, the reason of draining battery does not seem logical.

 

Besides, continuous recording is a very useful feature (or even a must). It should be at least an option for user to choose while the app may remind user of battery capacity issue when continuous recording is selected. In fact, user may use the schedule to decide when it should do continuous recording which may not drain too much battery if the time period is short. Anyhow, giving user an option is the best.

 

Hope C410 would be upgradable to support continuous recording.

The camera consumes significant power if it is recording continuously. Energy input from the solar panel is unstable and limited, even with the solar panel connected, the camera won't be able to maintain continuous operation. The battery might be dead in just a few days or even a few hours.
