For homeowners with sheds, driveways, or even remote vacation properties, reliable security has always been a challenge. How do you monitor an area far from your router, or a spot without easy access to power? TP-Link's Tapo brand appears to have a compelling answer with the official European launch of the Tapo C615G Solar-Powered Pan/Tilt 4G LTE Security Camera Kit.
This all-in-one kit is designed from the ground up for true off-grid operation, combining solar power, 4G LTE connectivity, and advanced AI features to deliver peace of mind wherever you need it most.
Crystal-Clear Vision, Day and Night
At its core, the Tapo C615G is a capable 3MP camera that records in 2K resolution, ensuring that details like faces or license plates are captured with clarity. It’s equipped with a 1/2.8" CMOS sensor and an F/1.6 aperture, which allows more light to hit the sensor for better image quality, especially in low-light conditions.
The camera doesn't just sit and watch one spot. Its pan/tilt mechanism offers a comprehensive 360-degree horizontal and 134-degree vertical field of view, effectively eliminating blind spots. And with AI-powered tracking, the camera can automatically follow movement, whether it's a person walking across the driveway or a pet exploring the yard.
When the sun goes down, the C615G doesn’t blink. It features 850 nm IR LEDs for powerful night vision, and for those moments when you need to see in colour after dark, two integrated spotlights can illuminate the scene. This means you can get a full-colour video feed of your property even in the middle of the night.
The Freedom of Solar and 4G Connectivity
The most significant features of the C615G are what set it completely apart from most home security cameras. The included solar panel is a game-changer; TP-Link claims that just 45 minutes of direct sunlight is enough to power the camera for a full 24-hour period. For long-term reliability, the internal battery can last an impressive 120 days on a single full charge, making it resilient through cloudy spells and short winter days.
Perhaps even more critical is the 4G LTE capability. By simply inserting a SIM card, the camera connects to cellular networks, completely bypassing the need for a Wi-Fi signal. This makes it perfect for construction sites, barns, boathouses, or any large property where your Wi-Fi can't reach. Data usage is managed directly through the intuitive Tapo app, putting you in full control.

Smart AI and Storage Options
Leveraging its on-device AI, the C615G can intelligently distinguish between people, pets, and vehicles. This smart detection is a free feature, helping to reduce false alerts from passing wildlife or blowing leaves. When it does detect a person, you’ll receive an instant notification on your phone via the Tapo app, where you can view live footage, check historical recordings, or share clips with family or neighbours.
For storage, users have two flexible options. You can insert a microSD card with up to 512GB of capacity for continuous local recording, or opt for a subscription to Tapo Care cloud storage for secure, off-site backup of your video history.
Availability and Pricing
The TP-Link Tapo C615G Kit is now available for order in Europe, though prospective buyers should be prepared for a wait due to apparent high demand.
In Germany, the kit is priced at a very competitive €129.90 on Amazon. However, delivery estimates are currently projected for between December 2025 and February 2026. Over in Spain, Amazon lists the product with a Recommended Retail Price (RRP) of €159.90, with even longer delivery windows estimated between January and June 2026. These dates are subject to change, so it's advisable to check retailer pages for the latest updates.
Built with an IP65 weatherproof rating, the camera is designed to withstand the elements, operating reliably in temperatures from a chilly -4°F (-20°C) to a scorching 113°F (45°C).
The arrival of the Tapo C615G signals a new era for outdoor security, finally offering a robust, wire-free solution for the most challenging locations. It effectively solves the two biggest hurdles in remote monitoring—power and connectivity—making comprehensive property surveillance more accessible than ever before.
