    • Great Camera and Well Built
Style: 2K+ Size: 1-Pack Color: White
I have a previous have a Tapo 2K indoor wired camera and I love the feature and quality. The video is sharp and clear. Connection is strong and app feature is great. I also like the live feature that it stays on to continuous monitoring not like other camera with cut-off after 2-5 minutes. Do I recommend it, 100% YES ... show more

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. ... show more

    • It’s about as good as a battery powered camera can get
Style: 2K+ Size: 1-Pack Color: White
Battery powered cameras are severely limited. I knew this going in. It was cheap, it was easy to put up, it works well. It definitely lags around 3-4s from reality due to the WiFi-only connection. It’s not possible to record these to an NVR since they only record when they detect something or your battery would die quickly. By far the biggest problem with every battery powered camera is that every recording inevitably starts with the subject well into the frame (in the best case scenario). A wired camera will record all the time, keeping 5-10s of footage in its memory. Then if it detects something, it can save that past 10s of video data so you can see the entire event. This one does seem to work better than the Reolink Argus 2/3 I had, where the entire recording would be the back of the subject leaving the frame. I feel like this wakes up quicker. But a fast moving person or animal could still easily run thru without being captured, if they knew it was there. Mine is high up with a broad view which reduces that issue but seems to cause a different one. The app warned me today “my battery is draining too fast”. I just have this up in my back yard and there have been a few people walking around back there. I guess I’m supposed to point it at the ground rather than out across a wide area? Reviewing the footage, there aren’t any false positives at all so I don’t really want to dial down the sensitivity. my options seem to be either reduce the coverage or ignore the warning and charge it more often. Neither seems ideal. The battery life is still at 98% tho and it’s been up and recording for 3 1/2 days. That’s pretty great. Hopefully it lasts at least a few years before the battery starts failing. Obviously a battery powered camera is ultimately a disposable item since the battery will degrade and it can’t be replaced. not that it would be especially difficult technically, but finding an exact match would be tough. Any change whatsoever (chemistry, amps, volts, etc) could render it dangerous to charge. Dont really want to risk a lithium fire inside for a $45 camera. I really like the Tapo camera’s “AI” (probably not) detection. It is really configurable and works well. However, it works better and has more functionality on the wired cameras AND they’re cheaper. Also the app keeps warning me that using the detection features uses a lot of battery. The magnetic grip is strong! It comes with a plate to mount it but I just stuck it to my garage (metal). Seems sturdy enough. If not moved I’ll use the plate, and the cameras attachment to that thing feels strong enough to withstand a hurricane. Super powerful magnet there, that’s really nice. However, I don’t see any mechanism to keep someone from pulling it down and taking it with them. Nothing you can really do either way, but some locking mechanism might be nice. If you want to get a camera, do everything in your power to wire them. POE works best. My most important cameras are POE and that’s all I’d use for anything critical. But if you MUST have a battery powered camera, this is the best one I’ve used! Just be aware of the considerable drawbacks with any battery security camera. You’re trading ease of installation for greatly reduced reliability, functionality, and ultimately you have to put in more work later to take it down and charge it, etc. ... show more

    • Great security camera overall

Great camera for home & yard security. SD card capability means recording without a monthly subscription. 2k resolution means clear picture & video. Long battery life of almost 6 months. Easy magnetic mount. Can't beat this.

    • Tapo MagCam 2K security camera-liking it so far.
Style: 2K+ Size: 1-Pack Color: White
So far, so good. Camera seems to work pretty well. Clear picture, easy setup, etc. The app, as of writing this review, is working fine. That was my biggest concern. The last camera i purchased i had to return. I won't give the name of that camera brand, just know it wasn't the Tapo brand. The app on the other brand stopped working properly after a few days. No amount of troubleshooting would fix the issue. So, having said that, I'm liking this Tapo MagCam. I'm really hoping it continues to work, because it really is a nice camera. ... show more

    • Excellent non wired security camera for cell phone monitoring.
Style: 2K+ Size: 1-Pack Color: White
Extremely fast fast shipping to Arkansas. Arrived with battery at 70 percent and a full charge in less than three hours. Android app install was painless and quick. Camera setup, within the app, was also quick and painless. Setting triggers and zones was a breeze. Daytime 2K video quality is excellent. Have not observed nighttime infrared yet. Motion and people triggers are very good. Fast text alerts to my phone, when motion or people are detected. Down side is the issue with monitoring via desktop pc. The ability to view this "C425" via my PC is problematic but can be done via third party software. ... show more
