    • Easy install and setup
Color: White Size: 1-Pack Style: SolarCam Pattern Name: 1080p
Well designed and well made. Two bases additional cable provided so there is an option to install as one or unit or tow separate the camera and solar panel by several feet. All the parts needed for intallation either way are provided, including adhesive templates to stick on the way to ensure the drilled holes are perfectly positioned. I charged the battery, connected the camera to my network, and tested before the install. Was very easy. After mounting all I had to do was turn it on and wait for it to say "Camera On". Video quality is good, camera and panel are staying in position during high winds. There are 3 options for video storage - cloud, hub, or sd card. Alarms, alerts, detection types, and detection zones are all configurable and seem to work well. ... show more

I did a lot of research to find the perfect security cameras. I have to admit, I am very impressed. Solar powered, weather proof, motion detection, great night vision, records to SD card (and you do NOT HAVE to have cloud service). Not to mention the setup was super easy with all the instructions right on the app. Also the app is very easy to navigate and understand and even adding other users to the household was super simple. I bought two of them and can't wait to grab more. I have already told everyone at work about these. Great functionality, easy to operate, simple app, all of that at a great price. I love them. ... show more

4.5 stars! It works well. The quality is good. The battery is always full because of the solar panel included. Video quality is good. The only thing that I want that is not there was, at night when it sense a motion, the it doesn’t light. There’s a remote for the light in the app but it should have been better if it opens when it motion is triggered. ... show more

    • be aware you might be shipped an older model model with battery drain problems
Color: White Size: 1-Pack Style: SolarCam Pattern Name: 1080p
I purchased two of these cameras on the same date. After installing them both and monitoring their performance, I saw some clear discrepancies between them. In reviewing the camera settings, I noticed that one has a Hardware Version of 2.6 while the other has Version 1.26. I have observed that model 1.26 experiences *much* faster battery drain than model 2.6. For example, after two partly cloudy days in a row with no rain, the battery on 1.26 dropped to 80%. Model 2.6 has not once dipped below 99% (and that’s with the camera’s light turned on overnight). I’m a bit frustrated that it seems like I was shipped an older model (1.26) which clearly has deficiencies compared to 2.6. I feel I’ve done everything I can to optimize the performance of the camera and yet still the battery drain is extreme. Based on my experience, it seems they’re shipping older models alongside newer ones, with the older models having clear performance problems. I find this inexcusable and am deeply disappointed by this experience. If old stock isn’t performant, then eat the cost and recycle the materials, but don’t sell it to customers. Very dishonest. Update: I messaged Tapo Support a month ago asking about this issue and have not even received so much as an acknowledgment. Complete radio silence. I remain frustrated and completely disappointed by this experience. Update 2: Two months after messaging support, still no reply. Model 1.26 is still draining battery like crazy and model 2.6 is still doing well. I remain convinced that the older models are fundamentally flawed products that should have been removed from storefronts. Update 3: Another reason to absolutely loathe model 1.26: every time there’s a disruption in my wifi signal, the camera goes offline…and STAYS offline. It will NEVER (and I mean never) reconnect. I need to unplug my router for at least 5 minutes and then plug it back in. Only then will the camera reconnect and resume its normal (though still substandard) function. Words do not do justice to the fury I feel about this piece of garbage. Update 4 (edit): After a brief power disruption, the model 1.26 camera went offline and stayed offline (model 2.6 reconnected without any issue). For several hours (and multiple reboots of my router), model 1.26 refused to reconnect, so I climbed on a ladder and took it down to bring it inside. I performed factory reset after factory reset and watched it fail to connect to my WiFi every single time. (This took over an hour.) After doing a good deal of research online and consulting our AI overlords, it seemed highly likely that the older 1.26 model is no longer compatible with more modern routers (of which I recently installed). The AI’s recommendation? Buy an older model router and tether it to my new router. Then try to pair the older Tapo camera to it. Because I’m a complete maniac who refuses to be bested by a piece of plastic, I ordered a new (old) router. Long story short, the Tapo camera paired easily with the new (old) router. This, by no means, turns my 1-star rating review around. I did this to further prove my point. These crooks are shipping cameras so old that they won’t actually pair with new routers. This is indefensible and shouldn’t be permitted. While I’ve reinstalled my camera (battery drain is still horrendous, by the way), I’m still very unhappy. I highly recommend that everyone avoid buying this model of camera and ensure you spend a little more money on a newer variant. You don’t want to go through what I’ve gone through. ... show more

    • Almost a 1 year review Good product ... but possible lemons in batches
Color: Black Size: 1-Pack Style: SolarCam Pattern Name: 1080p
I purchased 5 of these cameras originally, and another about a month in to owning them. I have had these May of 2025 so almost a 1 year review. Out of the 5, one would not connect, even though it was the closest to an access point. Hence the reason I purchased another one. This one connected and no issue up to about a month ago. Out of these cameras two just stopped charging from the solar panel all together. Cleaning the panel, and cabling, and then charging and checking for updates did not rectify the issue. So out of the 6 total we had two solar panels fail and one bad camera was failed from the get go. Set up is easy, and the camera quality is good for what I need overall, recording and playback is good overall. The app is nice, and has improved, give the mobile app 5 stars. Does not play very nicely with Alexa but I suspect the paid tier with Tapo might improve that (its as if the stream is throttled). The cameras operated in 100 plus temperatures to zero degree temperatures, blaring sun, wind, rain, snow, hail, and ice with the working cameras staying 100 percent charged through winter with some adjustment of positioning of the solar panels, other than the two that quit charging completely. I have kept those cameras charged by just taking them down and charging in the house. No damage, or other issue that I could find on cabling and panels on the solar charging to stop working. I like the cameras, but the failure rate is too high to get a great review. Not sure if there were defects or some other issue with a certain batch, but as mentioned the one that stopped charging gets the best sunlight of them all. I went all in with Tapo, sensors, lights, and cameras. The failure rate for something that should be relatively reliable (solar panel) is surprising. Basically 50 percent of my purchase resulted in issues with this camera model. I don't usually do reviews, but wanted to provide information if you are short on time, and so forth as I am on what you are getting. I think Tapo controls and application are great for the most part. Set up is great, and quality of camera when it works is also great and integration with Alexa is also a breeze but the quality of the streaming is poor in Alexa, in the Tapo app streaming is great. The price point is great, but again there is a risk you might be buying a lemon. Features, the features are rich, and customizable, and for the most part work without issue. Overall, at the price point and the quality of the app, features, integration, and operation, when it works I give it 5 stars, the reliability and the defect portion of it drove the review down, but again I think I will be staying with Tapo for now. ... show more

    • Great solar camera
Color: White Size: 1-Pack Style: SolarCam Pattern Name: 1080p
Very nice camera. Does a great job of picking up motion and sending notifications to my phone. The video quality is good as well. the night vision feature is helpful when someone or something is in view. Having a solar panel to keep it charged is great also. You never have to touch the camera once it's mounted. My only issue is that when viewing the video from an event, there's not indicator (red square or anything) to indicate what set off the camera. Sometimes you have to look around to find the subject of the video. But that's not a huge issue. I'm very happy with it. ... show more
