Excellent camera and app. However, be wary of the stickers to attach the camera to the ceiling. After a few days, mine fell to the ground 8 feet. It still seems to work but, secure the plate with screws. For this reason, I give it 4 out of 5.

I read lots of review of different IP cameras 1 of the major complaints are
1) image isn’t clear which is not in this case, the video effect of Tapo camera is amazingly clear!
2) Subscription - people complaining they need to pay for the service but $4+ per month only!!! I got notification from motion detector! Video upload to cloud & free play back!
The system is easy to install & configure less than 10 mins each which I bought 2 sets (1 per floor) they all work great!!

Love this camera, was easy to install the mount magnetic base and camera detaches from it's magnetic base very easily. I've had it installed and operating for a week now, down to 85% on battery so I'd say it should last a month before recharge needed, don't think it would get anywhere near the 300 days it is advertised at for battery life. Not sure how well it will work in the colder months, we will see. Was worth the purchase when I bought it when it went on sale. Easily hooked up using the Tapo app and I use my cameras for local Micro SD storage/recording only. Love Tapo app as you are not required to pay for a Cloud subscription if you don't want to, you can use these cameras for local storage only with full motion detection notifications. Would recommend this unit as no other HUB required, works straight with wifi connection.

I really like this camera but, as noted in the headline (and other reviewers) this camera does not record continuously. I reached out to TP-Link support about this and was informed the logic for not providing the option for continuous recording is related to battery useage - they want to maximize the life of the battery versus functionality. The other function missing, that is related to recording, is the support for ONVIF - which is the ability to have the camera connect to an NVR so the video can be recorded on a separate hard drive - not the SD card you insert in the camera. Without this functionality, I can not consider this camera for use in my home security system.

If you don't use an NVR and/or are not worried about the lack of continuous recording, then this could be a nice addition to your home security system.

This is the perfect solution when you want to add a camera somewhere that may be problematic to get power and a network cable to, or you just can't be bothered or may want to move it from time to time.

In many cases it will literally just be a case of slapping the magnetic base to something (watch your fingers, it's strong!) and then the camera just snaps to that. I put it on the back gate and it clamped itself solid to the metal hinge, a 2 second job.

The long-lasting battery is great but if you're putting it up anywhere high where even a once-a-year recharge would require getting ladders out, the solar panel should make it self-sustaining. Although that isn't quite as quick and easy to attach somewhere, it's only a few screws and still saves having to trace wires anywhere.

The picture quality is absolutely fantastic, and all the AI / detection works well via the mobile app which is high qality. I'm not usually a fan of the monthly subscriptions for storage but the price for this one is very reasonably priced so worth getting.

Of course it got special offer pricing a day after I received it, but it means the 2nd one I got was cheaper.

J'ai essayé beaucoup de différentes caméras dans toutes les fourchettes de prix. Celles-ci ont le meilleur rapport qualité / prix / performance! J'enlève cependant une étoile pour la qualité d'image qui pourrait être un peu meilleure. Cela ressemble plus à un 1080p de très bonne qualité qu'à du 2K

5.0 out of 5 stars Great images, 4 different detection types with multi-part zones.
Reviewed in the United States on June 17, 2024
Verified Purchase
I bought 2 of these. One to replace a broken camera and one to add coverage I was missing.

The cameras were easy to install. I reused the 1/4-20 mount from the broken camera and it screwed right in the back end of the camera. The new camera I used the magnetic mount. I’m usually nervous about any outdoor mount that isn’t rock solid. But, these magnets are some sort of rare earth and they create a very solid mount for the camera. The camera come with a warning about how strong the magnets are and to keep your fingers out of pinch points.

Setup was easy using the iOS Tapo app.

The image quality is excellent. Also the low light color sensors give great color images at night if there is any light at all and the usual IR monochrome otherwise.

Motion detection zones have always been hit and miss in my experience. These cameras break that rule. First there are 4 different detection types (Motion, Person, Pet, Vehicle) that can be turned on or off individually and used together. Second, The zone boundaries in most cameras I’ve used give you one zone, usually a box you can change the size of. The zones in these camera are described by 4 points. You can move the points to make any 4 sided shape. But wait! You can add additional 4 sided shaped zones. I’ve got one with 4 zones. My camera in the front yard needs to keep the street out of the detection zone but cover all the little nooks and crannies. It’s an impossible shape to describe with only 4 points. With these cameras the 16 points I used cover the area completely and eliminate false triggers. And, you can either have all your detector types share a common zone set or have separate zone sets per type (Per, Person, vehicle, and Motion)

I liked the first two so much, I bought 3 more to replace the rest of my cameras.

I hate climbing up to replace batteries. They always go dead in the rain and cold. I have solar panels on 3 of the cameras and 2 of the cameras are plugged into outdoor lighting using the supplied charging cubes in light housings where they are nice and dry. The result is that for at least part of every day the cameras get some charge. Low batteries are never a problem.

I did buy an annual subscription to Tapo Care. These come with a 30 trial subscription and that got us hooked. At least the purchased subscription is added onto the end of the trial.

Me gusta porque es fácil de instalar y es elegante el artículo. Yo lo uso para el interior de la casa en especial para la cochera o garage. No lo he usado en otro lugar. Si vale la pena la compra ya que tiene buena imagen y el precio es justo. Tal vez, me compre otro para mi recámara. Lo recomiendo.

AI Detection is very cool. It accurately detected me as a human and saved the recording starting a few seconds before the detection happened. This is an improvement over the previous models I've used and is very useful. Some other cameras I've used would miss the action after triggering. Full wifi with no base station is also incredibly useful, and gives more flexibility as to where I can put it. Vehicle detection does work, but the vehicle seems to need to take up a larger portion of the frame/be close to the camera. Setup was very easy, like other Tapo products I have. The Tapo app keeps getting better and smoother to use. It is very fast to load the camera feed and the delay is very little when viewing. I did have a weird issue where I was getting an error about not being able to control it from outside the house at first, but that went away after a couple hours.

The night vision is very good, and the spotlight is bright. Even in day mode, the camera can see very well in low light. The speaker and microphone are also good for talking with someone on the camera or capturing a record. Battery life has been impressive. I only saw about a 4% drop in 2 weeks.

The 2K/QHD nomenclature is a little confusing as these are different resolutions depending on who you ask. I work in TV and 2K in my world is about 2048x1080. The camera records in QHD 2560x1440, which is a very nice resolution. Not a complaint, but a note.

Things I think could be improved:
Formatting an SD card was very easy and downloading to my phone is super easy. I wish there was also a web version of the app so I could view it on my PC or Laptop. I've heard this is being explored for future addition.
The magnetic camera is super easy to place and retrieve, but seems like it could be easy for someone to steal if they so desired. A tether or lock attachment could be a nice addition.

Recharging is very easy, but since the batteries are not swappable there would have to be a downtime while recharging.

Overall, this is a great camera and a great value for what it can do, especially being from a trusted brand. There was clearly a lot of thought and design put into it and the experience using it, and I appreciate the improvements over the C420.

For sometime I’ve wanted to have a security camera I didn’t need to wire power to. The TP-Link Tapo MagCam easily connects to wifi and the magnetic base works very well. The Tapo app works well with my Android phone and tablet. I’ve mounted it in the backyard but usually have it in our garage. I like to check if the garage door is open as well as side door shut and locked. Battery life isn’t close to 300 days but we are setting off the camera with our frequent trips in the garage, I need to tweak the app settings. Battery life is better than I thought it would be given that we are setting it off several times/day.

Got this product never really wanting a camera outside the house. But now I want more. My camera goes off anywhere from 5-12 times a day and its been over 2 months and im still at 50% battery. And it mounts magnetically so it will be easy to recharge.

Feels great, heavy, feels durable. The motion detection is not perfect but its good enough. Same with camera quality, its not gonna knock your socks off but its not bad. Really easy setup, get a memory card for it. Sometimes the connection can be choppy but not often. And compared to other cameras the price seemed very good. Great value.
