Installation and setup so easy that even I can do it!
When it comes to ease of installation, this is without a doubt, the best camera that I have encountered.With the magnetic mount, just find an old steel fence post, snap it on and you’re done. The app leads you through the set-up process and you are good to go.Operation is flawless and the A.I. really can distinguish between a cobweb moving in the wind and genuine items of interest. Motion sensor response is nearly free of the latency that plagued earlier generations of of similar products. (I’m looking at you Company Z.)I started with one unit but was so impressed that I now have 7 of them and expect to add more.One less than stellar feature involves the SD card local storage option. I have found that retrieving video from the SD card to be so slow and unreliable that it forced me to opt into the cloud storage data hostage scheme. I am not real keen on this $113 per year ransom but if you want the camera to work properly, you really have no other choice.Also please bear in mind that the SD card purchase will cost you nearly as much as the camera.For my applications, battery life is more like 90 days rather that the advertised 300 days. Your battery life may vary with the camera activation so more traffic means shorter battery life.Great job by TAPO giving us a truly wireless WiFi camera that will go anywhere and stick to anything!

Easy magnetic mounting and crisp 2K video make this a great outdoor camera
I picked up this MagCam to cover my driveway and appreciate how simple it was to mount. The magnetic base is strong enough that the camera doesn’t shift even during heavy rain and wind. I was able to adjust the angle easily without removing the base, which makes fine-tuning the view much easier.Video quality is very clean in 2K, especially during daylight. At night, the infrared is still good enough to identify people and vehicles. Notifications are accurate without constant false triggers; the person/vehicle detection filters are noticeably smarter than older cameras I’ve used.Battery life is solid. After a couple of weeks with moderate motion events per day, I still had plenty of charge left. A quick recharge brings it right back to full.The only minor issue I had was syncing it to WiFi on the first attempt, but restarting the app instantly fixed it.Overall, this is a well-designed outdoor camera with great clarity and a very user-friendly magnetic mount.

Outstanding Camera
Bought 2 for garage. Easy set up..nice app.great pictures the geo fencing is spot on works great..front garage camera is had to work alittle on car headlights meaning Brite lights setting it off.has sensitively settings etc.works..again the geo fencing is superb..I’m in the mid west have not been threw winter yet with them.im sure ok.since everything on motion battery life great..now the debate subscription or sd card. I’ve read reviews the choice is urs..on my free trail all alerts video down loads etc etc work great..I’m not messing with sd cards.ive ordered subscription with cloud all features.34.99 year per camera or 69 bucks for 2..5.83 a month to me it’s worth it..cameras are nice.

Excellent choice
Reliable and easy to install, good image quality and sound, specially at night. Very good internet connection, because even though it’s outside and far from the router, never experienced any connection issues.

It’s about as good as a battery powered camera can get
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.

Great for the $$ and no cloud
This and another Tapo I have are great cameras, they have pretty good picture and work real well and having owned a few security cameras over the years, these for the money and that you can record on micro sd cards and they connect well with my wifi.

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.

Excelentes cámaras. Cómo todo lo que la marca hace. Son pequeñas pero robustas y de buen peso. e sienten de gran calidad. Son fácilmente instalables. Una calidad de imagen excepcional. Vision nocturna a color, detección de personas y movimiento con alertas. Lo mejor de ello, es que nada de cables, son completamente recargables. Ya llevo 3 semana usándolas y llevan poseen 85% de carga. Todo dependerá de cuentan Sensible pongas las alertas y que tanto movimiento haya. Solo eso puede hacer que se descarguen más rápido. Yo más ultra recomiendo. Pienso comprarme unas 3 más
