Amazon just trimmed the price of TP-Link’s solar-powered outdoor camera to its lowest level yet, making 2025 home security upgrades cheaper than ever.
Solar Convenience
The SolarCam C402 pairs a detachable solar panel with an internal battery, eliminating power cords and routine charges. A single sunny day can replenish the battery enough for half a year of typical use, according to the listing.
Smart Detection
The camera doesn’t just sense motion-it can tell the difference between a swaying branch and an actual person. When activity is detected, the system can:
- Push a phone alert
- Trigger a custom sound or light alarm
- Let you speak through the built-in two-way speaker
Storage Options
Footage saves locally to a microSD card (up to 512 GB) or, if you prefer, to an optional cloud plan-no mandatory subscription required.
Voice Integration
The camera works with both Amazon Alexa and Google Assistant, so you can view the live feed on an Echo Show or Chromecast-enabled screen with a quick voice command.
