EDIT: Looks like these cameras originally had RTSP but TP-Link pulled that feature - a shame.
This camera, like most all battery cameras, uses an infrared PIR sensor to detect motion, then one that sensor detects motion it flips on the camera to record. I'm not an expert on these, but I've done some research and tested a few of these cameras and this is what I've found: Those PIR sensors in my experience are usually too finicky for my needs. They work by detecting horizontal movements of heat. This means it really only detects people who are walking horizontally past the camera (not towards it). If its hot and the difference in temperature between body heat and air temp it might not set to record. If its cold and the person is wearing a thick jacket it might not record. If the person is more than 15 feet or so away it might not record. And since it takes about 2 seconds for when the PIR sensor detects motion to when the camera starts recording, if someone is sprinting across the camera's field of view the recording might miss it entirely.
Ultimately I bought a hardwired camera that can constantly record. Battery cameras typically don't do this since they require too much power. These can also do a rolling motion window (like record clips with ~5 seconds or whatever before the motion starts) to ensure you don't miss anything. For my use cases most battery cameras don't work for what I need.
