    5.0 out of 5 stars I love these cameras
    Reviewed in the United States on January 4, 2025
    So I bought one I installed it set it up in about half hour. The instructions are very simple to follow. I absolutely love this camera. The quality is excellent. The picture is outstanding. It actually works better than my ring. Floodlight camera. Much better picture quality. The solar panel is nice. It is not too big or bulky and it works awesome and keeps my battery completely charged. I love it so much. I bought another one and that one worked just as good as the original. If you’re looking for a good solar powered battery camera give this one a try. It is definitely worth the money.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Great Outdoor Camera!

    The TP-Link Tapo SolarCam C402 Kit is an excellent choice for home security. The 1080P video quality is clear, even at night with color night vision. The solar panel keeps the camera charged, so I don’t have to worry about batteries.

    I really like the person/vehicle detection, which avoids unnecessary alerts. It was easy to set up, works perfectly with Alexa, and offers flexible storage options with SD or cloud storage.

    Overall, it’s reliable, easy to use, and a great value. Highly recommend!

    5.0 out of 5 stars Works Very Well
    Reviewed in the United States on December 21, 2024
    I purchased this wireless remote camera as I needed a unit that was completely wireless, with no plug in electricity necessary. The other popular wireless remote cameras all seem to need a module that must be plugged into an electric outlet to transmit the picture. The TP-Link Tapo camera directly connects to a local wifi network (yes, it does need to connect to local wifi to be able to monitor remotely) but works solely from it's own battery.
    I installed this on my boat at a marina to keep an eye on the boat over the winter. Camera setup was easy, as was the solar panel (with the included very long cord! I purchased the camera with solar panel kit). It connected to the marina wifi without difficulty, and I can check on the boat from home. Recently I was traveling and had no problem connecting to the camera as long as I had cellular service! The solar panel has kept the battery charged at 100% with no issues.
    The alert options work well - I set the 'person' alert, and when I occasionally go to the boat to check on it, I immediately get an alert on my phone that a person has been detected on the boat and the available video it records is very clear. I record to a 128gb installed in the camera, I didn't purchase a cloud subscription.
    This TP-Link Tapo camera has more than exceeded my expectations.

    I wanted to be able to see my driveway as it’s tough to see from any window. This allows me to do so and also serves as a small deterrence to people looking around. It took me a few tries to figure out the placement of the solar panel but I’ve figured out how to keep it charged. A few connectivity issues from time to time but overall, works great. Great item for the price and piece of mind. Would recommend.

    “I recently installed these security cameras, and I am extremely satisfied with their performance. The video quality is excellent, both during the day and at night, thanks to the clear night vision. The setup was easy, and the mobile app allows me to monitor everything in real-time from anywhere. The motion detection alerts are accurate and helpful for keeping my home secure. The cameras are also weatherproof, making them perfect for both indoor and outdoor use. Overall, a great investment for anyone looking for reliable and high-quality security cameras!”

    Several thoughts, initially I selected TAPO 402 camera(s) because of a somewhat positive experience with TAPO extender(s) made by the same company as well as door bell camera - also same company. Mostly very happy with the purchases. The camera provides exceptional picture clarity. Installation was straight forward, the batteries were about 50% - 60% upon arrival. Manual says to let them charge for about 7 hours, mine charged in about 4.5 hours. included charger and cables worked well with NO ISSUES. Mounting the cameras was not a problem. Field of view was very good (especially the depth). I already had some experience with the app from 2 previous products. The different detection modes was EXTREMELY NICE. A MAJOR POSITIVE point was that everything can be accomplished with LOCAL (on the camera) storage by using a MICRO SD CARD (up to 512 GB).

    Recall and play back of the locally stored audio & video works well at home as well as away from home!

    All of the component cameras integrate very nicely with in the TAPO app and they play well together.

    You get 30 days free cloud storage with each individual camera (including the previously mentioned door bell camera -- via an included HUB for the door bell). NO SUBSCRIPTION !! :-) :-) :-)

    Here are I few things I wish TAPO would have done a bit better:

    PROVIDE LIVE PERSON to PERSON Technical support (not a fan of EMAIL or CHAT support - TOO LONG DELAY for REPLY).

    MORE secure mounting of cameral to stand -- Maybe some type of security bolt or lock (??), it is too easy to remove the camera from the mount.

    Somewhat more user friendly NAMING CONVENTIONS - within the app.

    IMPROVE THE INTEGRATION & FUNCTION(s) WITH ALEXA -- This was a major selling point for me.

    It took the better part of 3 hours on the phone with LIVE (person to person) AMAZON (technical) support to enable ALEXA to recognize the door bell camera and 2 of the other out side cameras, a major saving grace of that technical support session was that the agent was able to screen share with me through my phone, everything was thoroughly validated and secure for the screen share.

    MAYBE TAPO could offer this in the future -- perhaps 30 days worth from initial installation .

    Was eventually able to get ALEXA to announce (and show) when some was at the door.

    The TAPO cameras work very well with their app, ALEX (app) works very well with its show hardware!

    Getting BOTH platforms to play NICE with each other was a chore, BUT, in the end well worth it!

    Happy with all of the cameras definitely plan to purchase at least one more. I am glad that I purchased them and expect that they will last a long time.

    I have not been compensated in ANY way for this review
