I'm interested in adding a KC420WS to my home. However, I don't have an electrical nearby. Will the camera operate if I plug the USB cord into a solar panel?

  @gebjeff,

This would not be recommended as the cameras are reliant on a consistent power source, which can't be guaranteed unless you are powering off a battery instead of a solar panel. Both the Kasa and Tapo lines are constantly adding cameras to the lineup, so make sure to keep an eye out for any new cameras that may solve your problem.
