Tapo C420, C400, etc.

water ingress under some special conditions. To prevent water ingress into the camera, here are

tips to make the camera to be waterproof ready.

1. Ensure the battery back cover is in place. Align the indicator line on the cover with the arrow

icon on the camera body. Press and rotate clockwise to the lock position to replace the cover.

2. After closing the battery back cover, please ensure that the rubber cover on the back cover of

the charging port is tightly closed.

3. When the battery back cover and the charging port rubber cover is tightly closed, there will be

no water mist inside the camera even if it is installed in an environment with a relative humidity of

up to 90%. In foggy weather, there may be water mist on the surface of the camera and the lens,

but it will not affect the inside of the camera. You can wipe the water mist on the surface of the

lens with a paper towel or let it dry naturally.
