Tapo C411 Solar Powered Outdoor WiFi Camera Kit, 2K 3MP, 6400mAh Battery up to 180 Days After a Single Charge, Colour Night Vision, Alarm with Motion Detection, IP65

I bought the Tapo TC82 to keep an eye on my backyard and kids playing outside, and it has been fantastic. Setup took literally 5 minutes - just mount it, connect to the app, and you're done. No wiring and the 180-day battery life is no joke; it's been running for weeks with zero maintenance. The 2K video quality is sharp and clear, and the colour night vision is genuinely impressive - I can see every detail in the garden even when it's pitch black. The Al detection is smart enough to ignore swaying trees but still alerts me instantly when someone (or the dog) is there. Best of all, there are no monthly fees and it works perfectly with both Alexa and Google Home. If you want reliable, high-quality outdoor security without subscriptions or complicated installation, this is the one. I've already recommended it to friends and family. Highly recommend!

Really happy with this camera for outdoor monitoring. Easy to set up and great picture quality. Well worth it for the price paid for a product that actually works outdoors within minimum setup requirements. The SD card is bought seperatly and needs to be formatted using the camera settings.

Very good value for money, clear pictures and sound. It is able to start recording before the image gets into view, so I don't miss a thing. I like the fact that I can adapt it at any angle I like, and the app notification is super as well. This should be the best on the market for the price, I am sure. It also connects to Google Home. I can even use it in the card wirelessly when fully charged if I am going on a long scenenic road trip. This is quality.

Great cameras, perfect for a cheap set up, depending on where they are placed and how much traffic there is depends on how long the battery lasts, east to install, the screw plugs broke easily so used my own but the picture quality and sound quality is great for the price and they are quite small so easy to place. Would give another star if maybe it could rotate when needed

I've had TP Link Tapo cameras before and they have always been great. This one is no exception. So easy to configure and install. The battery lasts for months but charges quickly (I charge mine with a USB powerbank to save having to remove them from the wall but they are easy to take down if needed). The image is super-clear and you can upgrade to cloud storage if required, although they will record to a MicroSD card. I like the cloud storage option and always use it. The camera is small but has a powerful light which can be turned on and off in the Tapo app. You can also speak through the camera using the internal speaker, also from the app. The motion detection is very customisable and it doesn't take long to find the range of sensitivity that works for your own needs.

Initial opinion was good, camera looks and feels quality, easy to install and set up. Camera has been up now for just over a week on a telegraph pole around 10 metres from the house and a WiFi extender in a bedroom window. The signal was terrible initially, so I’ve trimmed a hedge so that there’s direct line of sight, quality has improved slightly but still not good, glitching and pixelated. Next step will be to hard wire the WiFi extender into the broadband router and see if that improves the performance of the camera. I really do not want to go down the route of installing an outside WiFi extender which will cost me more money I don’t want to spend, I bought this camera at half price and if it was at full price I would be really unhappy at this point. I have had two blink cameras on the same telegraph pole For several years and they have worked flawlessly, but one of them is starting to give up the ghost and I decided to get a new camera because you now have to pay a subscription to blink which I am unwilling to do. The other thing that so far isn’t performing as I expected is the motion detection, the blink camera would pick up movement right at the end of our drive as people or cars came around the bend on our drive, this Tapo camera seems not to be able to do this and only activates when people or vehicles are half way up our drive, I have tried all the settings and apart from pointing the camera sensor directly at the end of our drive it seems like the sensor distance isn’t as good as my blink cameras. Picture quality is hard to comment on at the moment because the recordings are not very good at the moment, at 2k you’d expect decent quality and definitely should be better than the blink. Three stars at this point for the camera being half price,good build quality and easy to set up and install. I will update the review if the recording and motion sensor quality improves, if not I will have to think about returning the camera and trying a different one. To summarise I’d say these cameras WiFi range is poor and you will need a strong WiFi signal to get the best from them, or be willing to install and outside WiFi extender to reach the cameras.

Absolutely brilliant. Had this going for weeks and battery still 85% brilliant lights on it. Great night vision and loud speakers. Highly recommend. It’s at the bottom of my garden and still connects to wifi. I can check on my chickies night and day. I brought 2 as I was so impressed with the first one and I will definitely get another one soon. I charge it with a battery pack so I don’t need to take it down.

Generally quite a good camera- easy to set up on the app and it records to my Tapo Hub without a hitch. Alerts seem to work as they should and the AI facial recognition is performing well. But… the mount is pretty poor. It’s very lightweight and isn’t the easiest to make minor adjustments. One of the biggest problems is the image cannot be inverted on these battery cameras, so you can’t have it hanging down from under the eaves - as the mounting screw on the body is on the underside, resulting in an upside down image. You have to have the mount screwed into to rear which makes the whole thing stick out much more than necessary. Also switching between this cam and my other Tapo ones the image is clearly inferior - blown highlights and a bit of a red tinge. But… this was very cheap. Hopefully the battery life will be as good as they say.

Great!

Caméra de bonne qualité. Pas mal d’options.

Yes but you have to know the sensor must be 2 meters height and in a specific angle 10 20 check copilot and set the sensivity to 10. If you only want to see the grass growing any size is good I really like the addition of the sunpanel. Make sure you have a very good wifi connection i mean ensure the distance is not to far. For false positives resize the window screen to your needs. The recording to the 128 GB microssd Samsung class 2 is perfect you need to purchase this seperate. So my battery is always 100 percent due to solarpanel no cloud subscribtion and easy to share with your partner value for money.

Caméra très simple à installer, bonne résolution. Installée depuis 2 jours, la batterie est toujours à 100%. A voir si la batterie tient aussi bien la charge dans les jours à venir.

So far we're very happy with your camera. It needed a full charge to begin with, but once charged, it can be powered sufficiently by its solar panel.
