A fine camera for the purpose I intended to use it for. I had deliberately selected it based on ONVIF support. During installation, it turned out that I could not integrate this camera into my existing camera system. After contacting TP-Link, I learned that no battery-powered camera supports ONVIF or RTSP. Therefore, the information in the specifications on the Coolblue website is incorrect.
Since I do not know how to point out an error in the stated specifications to Coolblue, I am doing so in this review.

When it works, it's a great camera. That brings me to the downside: the camera freezes in the software and there's no way to reset it. The only way is to drain the battery... I have no idea how long that will take. The on/off switch doesn't work, and neither does the reset PIN. The battery is internal... I hope it works again when the battery dies in a week or two, otherwise I'll be really dissatisfied.

The constant downtime is a significant drawback; you don't need to take a ladder every two days to remove the camera from its stand to reinstall/connect it.
