sorted byTPLink haven't released their own panels yet, although they have shown they are in the pipeline.
I've found ours to be really good.
I've bought two sets as I needed 3 cameras but the separate one is about £80-90 on its own. It means I had a spare and a spare hub for about half the price again.
The furthest is around 50ft away and has a few walls in the way of the signal, so live feed drops to 720p, but recording still works in 2k.
As mentioned in another comment, I have solar panels keeping mine topped up and not had any issues yet. Until I got the panels, the two cameras I had at the time lasted either the expected 180 days in the low traffic area (around 10-15 alerts a day) and around 2 months in the high traffic area (around 30 alerts a day).
I had an issue after a firmware update on the hub where the app couldn't view videos, this was resolved through their tech support who were pretty decent.
The videos on the SD card are standard MP4s, so easily viewable and copyable to a PC/Mac/tablet/phone but you do need to unplug the hub and remove the card to do so. (edited)
Easy enough to connect to the cameras & keeping the cameras waterproof with the USB for the panels connected?
Thanks
First the camera won't power up with just the battery. You need to plug in the mains charger to get the camera to power up first. It's almost like the threshold is slightly out. Once on it works on battery but how to you reconnect if high on a wall.
The next is no way to change to a unique notification sound. So you won't know if you have someone in the garden or just another email/Facebook message I wanted a louder and longer warning for the camera.
The hub is a nice idea except its not great in a large house. You can move it closer to the camera at the front but then the rear gives a poor quality warning. It might be OK with smaller properties.
This could have been so good but a couple of simple issues make it a chocolate fireguard.
