Tapo TP-Link SolarCam C402 Kit, Outdoor Battery Camera w/Solar Panel Base, Wireless, 1080P, Free Person Detection, SD/Cloud Storage, Color Night Vision, No Hub Needed, Works w/Alexa

I’m extremely impressed with this Tapo MagCam 4K Solar camera. The 4K image quality is very sharp in both daytime and night conditions. Detection has been accurate for person/vehicle events, and notifications come through reliably without being overly annoying, even while on the basic free plan. Battery life has been excellent, and with the solar panel it stays topped up and feels truly set-and-forget once installed. Setup was straightforward, the app is easy to use. I also connected it to the H500 Home base and it works incredibly well. Overall, this is a high-quality outdoor camera with strong performance, great battery/solar charging, and clear video. Highly recommended and is worth the money!

Nice camera. Easy setup as I am already using the app for a wired camera previously installed. Picks up my wi fi outside, through the trees 50 yards from the house no trouble. Clear recordings and battery has stayed at 100% for going on 4 days with no sunshine. In -10 to 35 degree temps. So far working great. We'll reassess in 6 months or so. I am definitely planning on buying a few more in the near future.

It is very easy to install. It panel is very effective, the battery is always at 100. The camera videos are very clear. It is a good buy and I recommend it to anyone looking for an affordable security camera.

I own 6 of these solar cameras. They are the best affordable cameras that I’ve ever purchased. The solar is perfect for places with no electricity and the charge lasts a very long time. The quality of the camera is great, I can see a lot of details on my recordings. I use these primarily for my farm animals: chickens, goats, pigs. I’m able to keep an eye on them and I can count on the camera keeping its WiFi stability. Great camera all in all.

Why did you pick this product vs others?: I really loved this camera so much I bought 2 of them and their doorbell for my house. The doorbell has been working flawlessly. The first camera IN installed with the solar panel worked fine until the first rain storm where it went offline and I could not get to it for a couple months as it monitors a vacation home. Once down there I was able to get the camera down, plug it in and after a couple chances it finally rebooted. Now the camera is is all fogged up and will not clear out. I reached out to Tapo support and after several AI generated emails from Tapo asking me about the solar panel I was able to get some traction with support where they told me I had to go through the RMA process of which they asked all the same questions that support did. I did put up my second camera in the same spot and it is working fine and I love the fact that it is solar powered. I would give the camera a higher review as I understand sometimes things break, but their support process was very painful to work with. Would I recommend this camera to everyone? Yes I would and I may buy more of them for my main house as well as back yards as I love the solar option... but I am very weary of dealing with TapoSupport again. Ease of setup: The set up was very easy to do and their instructions make it seem like it is harder than it really is. Recording capability: you can either use their paid cloud storage or I bought Micro SD cards from Amazon and just use those to record and save Storage capacity: The 512 microSD cards are great and cheaper than subscribing to their cloud storage View angle: I love the fact that I have it on top of my 12 foot shed and I can see clearly down the side of the house and a nice wide angle to the bakc of the house and driveways. I love the AI feature where i can exclude animals from detection as we have a lot of wildlife in the area, mainly deer, fox, and other small creatures... but can also set the detection zone of where I want it to alert to motion or people.

Good product. Solar keeps camera at 100% charge. Clear pictures and easy app to navigate.

Facile à installer. Se recharge très bien grâce au panneau. Qualité vidéo parfaite

Buena calidad cumplen lo que dicen, tengo dos cámaras de este tipo pero han dado un rendimiento muy diferente una está instalada con su panel solar en zona con mucho tránsito y está ha estado consumiendo mucha batería debido a la gran cantidad de notificaciones de hecho en la aplicación aparece una aviso relacionado a esto por lo que tuve que ajustar la configuración buscan reducir el bajo consumo de energía. La segunda camara está única en un pasillo de un edificio y solo alimentada por su batería 🔋y en una semana solo ha bajado al 96% mientras que la primera bajo de 100% al 80 y tantos porciento en un solo un día de funcionamiento, lo que nos indica que estás cámaras son para instalarse en zonas con bajo tránsito.

Fonctionne très bien facile à utiliser

Excellent product that works effectively without a subscription. Battery life also very good. Good value.
