Tapo 2K Outdoor Pan/Tilt Wi-Fi Security Camera Review - C520WS

1) it requires an AC power source somewhere close by. Not many (including myself) have AC outlets under their eves or easy access to run power to all of those eves.
2) It uses a 9v ac adapter (needing the AC outlet close by.
3) No POE even though it can be connected directly to your network via patch cable.
4) wifi is only 2.4 ghz. I run a mesh network and i have had problems connectng older 2.4 ghz items to my old Orbi network. My new TP mesh seems to be a little more friendly, but I haven't had to connect a new 2.4 ghz item to it yet.
I was going to jump on these, but the AC issue is a big one. I have a few of the newer 2k and 4k exterior cameras that are charged by a usb adapter or by the solar panel and they have a built in battery that does last a very long time in low trigger areas. They work well and I have been sticking with these units that use an onboard SD card for storage so I am not locked into some sort of service contract to view my videos.

But it is 2.4ghz so that's like 2,400,000,000 Hz's for connectin'
curious to try these after moving away from Geeni
If i am setting up on 2.4GHZ should i make sure my phone is always on my 2.4ghz wifi instead of 5.0.... does it make controlling it any easier?
Wonder if you could use something like this to get power to it if you use ethernet?

Per your question. Doesn't matter as much of your network on 2.4ghz isn't saturated and you're not running a 24/7 rtsp or continuous record over to a hub.If you decide to do continuous or something cloud base, there probably should be some consideration.

Total cost was maybe $20 not including wire (used old speaker wire I had laying around). Bought random cheap crap from amazon to do the converting/wiring but would be happy to link to stuff if people were buying this and needed some help on the wiring
