These are a good option if you need 2 battery powered cameras, near each other and the hub, and that won't trigger a ton.

1) battery alone.
2) battery w/solar panel.
Would the camera also operate on battery while plugged into a live USB power source at the same time? In other words, a live USB wire entering through the battery's port at the rear of the camera (plugged into the wall or an external battery pack)? I've read & watched several reviews and no one seems to address this.

I'd recommend these for indoor or covered usage outdoors for anyone who doesn't want wired installation. But I'd hesitate on using in extreme temperatures. For apartments and condos they are ideal.
Has one of the easiest apps and quickest setups I've found. Also integrates with TP-Link Kasa cameras, smart plugs and smart devices. I think each hub has a limit of five wireless Tapo cameras. TP-Link is going to release more wireless Tapo devices, but they seem to be coming out overseas before the US.

There is setting for "Motion sensitivity" which the default probably 6. Increased sensitivity results in fewer missed recordings and notifications (use more power) and lower sensitivity result in fewer unwanted recordings and notifications.
There is also "Wake-up Sensitivity" which will affect how far (distance) it will detect motion which will affect battery life. The default probably right around the middle which is 6 and max is 10.
The first thing someone should do is set those to what you can tolerate. And if you don't, of course you are not getting the result you want.
