For outdoor coverage that does not depend on a nearby outlet, the TP-Link Tapo SolarCam C402 is the stronger camera in this pairing, winning on price, warranty length, weatherproofing, solar charging, color night vision, RTSP support, a built-in light, and a wider range of alerts. The Aqara Camera Hub G2H Pro fights back on two fronts: it carries a better user rating, and its built-in Zigbee hub lets it also manage Aqara sensors, a dual role the TP-Link Tapo SolarCam C402 does not offer. Buyers who need weatherproof outdoor coverage that recharges itself via solar, without swapping batteries, should lean toward the TP-Link Tapo SolarCam C402. Anyone who wants an indoor camera that doubles as a well-reviewed Zigbee hub for existing Aqara sensors is better off with the Aqara Camera Hub G2H Pro instead.
