Tapo C425 cold weather performance
Hi,
I am thinking about buying several C425 cameras, but have a question. The house I will put them in is in Michigan (cold winters!) while I am (mostly) in California. I currently have some Arlo cameras at the house, but I have had terrible problems over the past two winters. In several cases, the cameras went offline (as documented) when the temperature fell below -4 degrees F, but did NOT come back online one it warmed up, as they are supposed to. In addition, they are connected to solar panels so they always get charged, but one of the cameras has gone belly up because the solar panel wasn't charging them. Since the cameras are 2,400 miles away from me, I clearly can't do a "reset" on them, and Arlo technical support has been singularly unable to offer any assistance.
So my question to the group here is...if you have a Tapo camera, preferably a C425, and you live in a location with real winters, including sub-zero temperatures, and you have them connected to solar panels to charge, do your cameras come back online reliably when the temperatures warms up above -4 degrees F, and does the solar panel start successfully charging when the temperature rises above 32 degrees F?
Thanks.
