An increasingly popular solution is to include a solar panel to keep that battery topped up, enabling you to install and potentially never touch the camera again. Wyze and TP-Link both released interesting solar-powered cameras this week. Let’s talk about Wyze first.
D Wise Solar Cam Pan ($80) A 2K outdoor security camera that can pan 360 degrees and tilt 70 degrees. It’s IP65-rated, easy to mount, and sports a small solar panel that Wise reckons can keep the camera running in sunlight for just one hour a day (we’ll see when we test it through the gray depths of a Scottish winter). The Solar Cam Pan features AI-powered person tracking, two-way audio, color night vision, a spotlight, and a siren, though you need a subscription to unlock smart features and get cloud video storage, starting at $3 per month.
Wyze has announced a new, impressively affordable Battery Video Doorbell ($66). We recently started testing the Wyze cameras again after beefing them up Its security policyBut repeated security breaches, Exposing thousands of camera feeds to other customersStill might give you pause.
Meanwhile, TP-Link is the first manufacturer to combine solar power with its new floodlight capabilities Tapo C615F Kit. The similar-looking but larger Tapo C615F is another 2K camera, but it pans 360 degrees, tilts 130 degrees and, most importantly, has an adjustable 800-lumen floodlight.
TP-Link says its solar panels only need 45 minutes of sun a day to keep the camera ticking, and it comes with a handy 13-foot cable, so you can install the solar panel in the best spot to catch those rays.

Released by Fujifilm X-T30 IIIAn update to the company’s entry-level, SLR-shaped mirrorless X-T30 line. The X-T30 pairs the third iteration of Fujifilm’s familiar 26-MP X-Trans APS-C sensor with the latest Fujifilm processor, the X-Processor 5. The latter means the X-T30 III is now identical to the X-M5 and X-T50 in terms of internal specs. All of Fujifilm’s film simulations are available, such as subject-recognition AF mode. Video specs see a bump up to 6.2K 30 fps and 4K 60 fps with 1.18X crop.
The body is almost identical to the previous model; Size, weight, and button/dial layout are the same as the X-T30 II. One change is that the control dial is now a film simulation dial, with three options for custom film recipes. X-T30 III On sale in November for $999 for the body, or $1,150 for the body and a new 13- to 33-mm F3.5-6.3 zoom lens (20mm- to 50mm-equivalent). –Scott Gilbertson
