The TP-Link TC85 KIT bundles one TC85 battery camera with a Tapo A201 solar panel, so the camera can keep charging from sunlight instead of a power point. The camera records 2K QHD 4MP video, shows full-colour images at night, detects people, pets and vehicles at no extra cost and alerts you if it is removed. The panel can sit on the camera as one unit or up to 4 metres away, and the camera is rated IP66 with the panel at IP65.

TC85 KIT overview

The TC85 KIT is TP-Link's solar bundle for the TC85 camera. In the box are one TC85 camera, one Tapo A201 solar panel, a camera bracket, an extension wire, a decorative cover plate, a Type-C to Micro USB adapter, waterproof seals, a battery charger cable, a cable tie, screw caps, six mounting screws and anchors, a mounting template and a quick start guide. Camera and panel can be joined as a single tidy unit, or the panel can sit up to 4 metres away on the extension cable wherever the sun is strongest. The kit is listed for ceiling or wall mounting, and the Tapo app walks you through choosing the mounting location and angle.

According to TP-Link, the A201's monocrystalline silicon cells are more efficient at harvesting solar energy than traditional panels. Its maximum charging voltage is 5.2 V and maximum charging power is 2.5 W, it outputs over USB Type-C, and one panel connects to one camera only; the included Type-C to Micro USB adapter is required for a camera with a Micro USB charging port. An angle-adjustable bracket lets you mount the panel on a wall or roof. The camera stores energy in a 10,000 mAh rechargeable battery, for which TP-Link quotes up to 300 days per charge; that lab figure assumes 230 seconds of daily use and drops to 180 days at 360 seconds, and real-world life depends on device settings, the router, usage and the environment. A 5 V / 2 A mains adapter can be used but is not included. The solar panel measures 173.42 x 120.42 x 15.7 mm.

On the camera side, a 1/3-inch starlight CMOS sensor and a 2.1 mm F2.1 lens record 2K QHD 4MP (2560 x 1440) video at 15/20/(25/30) fps with H.264 compression and 3DNR and WDR. The specification lists a 150° diagonal, 134° horizontal and 77° vertical field of view. At night the TC85 offers full-colour images from its built-in spotlights and starlight sensor instead of black and white, with four IR LEDs and four white LEDs fitted and 850 nm IR night vision rated to 15 m. TP-Link lists motion, person, pet and vehicle detection as free, with customisable detection zones, and an anti-theft alert notifies you instantly if the camera is removed. You can record your own alarm audio up to 94 dB (measured at 10 cm) and adjust the brightness of the four spotlights.

Video is saved to a microSD card (sold separately, up to 512 GB); TP-Link says a 512 GB card equals 672 hours (about 28 days) of 2K QHD footage, and actual capacity depends on the card used. The card can be password-protected in the Tapo app. Tapo Care cloud storage requires a subscription and adds 30-day video history, rich notifications with snapshots and smart sort. Because it runs on battery, the TC85 captures motion clips when activity is detected rather than recording continuously. Privacy zones and privacy mode block areas or pause streaming and recording, two-step verification protects the account, and Tapo sharing lets family members manage the camera together. No hub is needed, as the camera joins 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi directly; it uses 128-bit AES with SSL/TLS, supports voice viewing through Alexa- and Google Assistant-compatible displays, and operates from -20 °C to 45 °C. The IP66 rating applies to the camera; the panel is rated IP65.

Frequently asked questions

Straight answers about the TC85 KIT from the ARC IP Networks team.

Last reviewed October 2026.

One TC85 camera and one Tapo A201 solar panel, plus a camera bracket, extension wire, decorative cover plate, Type-C to Micro USB adapter, waterproof seals, charger cable, cable tie, screws, anchors, screw caps, mounting template and quick start guide.

The kit adds the Tapo A201 solar panel and a bracket mount. The TC85 on its own comes with a magnetic base and a USB adapter, and supports the Tapo A200 panel sold separately.

Yes. Fit them together as one unit, or run the 4-metre extension so the panel catches more sun. Its bracket tilts and mounts on a wall or roof.

No. TP-Link states a solar panel can only connect to one camera.

TP-Link quotes up to 300 days per charge at 230 seconds of daily use, or 180 days at 360 seconds, from its own lab tests. Settings, router, usage and environment all affect real results.

The anti-theft alert notifies you instantly if the camera is removed.

TP-Link says 512 GB equals 672 hours (about 28 days) of 2K QHD footage. The card is purchased separately and capacity depends on the card used.

Not for person, pet and vehicle detection, which TP-Link lists as free. Tapo Care cloud storage, 30-day video history and rich notifications need a subscription.

The camera is rated IP66 and the solar panel IP65, with an operating range of -20 °C to 45 °C.
