  • Good battery life and great night vision
Style: 2-Camera System Configuration: Battery
The C420 system is incredibly easy to use. Once the H200 hub was connected to the router the setup was very straightforward and connecting to my account and the tapo app took only a couple of minutes. I've been told by support that they are adding wifi support to the hub, but for now it requires ethernet. This was not personally a big issue as my router is central in my home and had extra ethernet ports, but if someone does not have an extra port this could be a hurdle requiring extra hardware. The cameras themselves were equally easy to set up. I did initially put the batteries in backwards and spent a minute or so wondering why the light was not flashing like the app said it should be, but that was user error. The batteries charged relatively quickly, about an hour each, and seem to be holding a good charge. In the 2 weeks since I've turned the cameras on they've only dropped about 1%, though I am not actively using all of the detection features. Access through the app is easy and connecting to the cameras seems to be just as fast on any fast wifi network as on the same network as the cameras. The signal latency is also quite good. I found the picture is only about a second delayed from real time. The detection settings work well and the detection zone drawing tool and privacy zone tools provide a good level of control. The AI detection did notify me when it saw a car in my driveway. Picture quality is very good in the daytime. The image is very clear and detailed. Picture quality at night was very impressive. With some light in the scene, I did not need to have night mode enabled to see clearly. Multiple times when checking the camera at night I thought the picture was frozen because of how bright it was. It was not frozen. The range of the wireless cameras is strong. With the hub in a central location in my home, both cameras could be placed anywhere without signal loss. For an average sized home, I don't think there would be any issue regarding placement. The media from the camera saves to either the internal storage or Tapo Cloud. There is no FTP or ONVIF support. Overall, for where this camera is priced, I think it is a good value and would recommend it to someone looking to add some easy and basic cameras to their home. ... show more

  • Exactly as Advertised
Style: 2-Camera System Configuration: Battery
Excellent surveillance/security camera system. Very good quality cameras. Easy to set up Hub and individual cameras. When you first Sync the camera to the Hub, have the camera only 1" away from the Hub. Then move it to the location needed. The app is easy to download and use. Very sharp images both daylight and night with very little illumination. Easy to see faces, movements and license plates from over 40' away. Plenty of storage with the 512Gb micro-SD card I installed. I've had the two cameras installed for 10 days. So far, so good. ... show more

  • No NVR support
Style: 2-Camera System Configuration: Battery
Generally happy with these cameras (with caveat) and with the Tapo brand. Positives: wide angle, good motion detection and notification, easy-ish set up, good battery life (so far - down to about 85% after about 3 weeks -- although there is slight difference in capacity between batteries). Two negatives for me: 1. There is no NVR recording available. This is because the cameras are actually controlled by a hub which takes a SD card. 2. The cameras talk/record to the hub, but not via WiFi. So the hub has to be in close proximity to both cameras to get good reception. I bought a WiFi extender only to find this out, and had to move the hub that was wired to my router closer to both cameras. Still not get great reception from one camera through a couple of walls. So far impressed by the battery life (I didn't have an easy electrical wired option), and the image quality is pretty good. ... show more

  • Tapo Wireless Battery Security Camera
Style: 2-Camera System Configuration: Battery
I installed outside on the front of my house under the soffit. They have been in service for about 2 weeks and so far they are working well. The base is at the back of the house in a office while the cameras are in the front. I have had no issues with connection. I get notifications whenever movement is detected via my cell phone. Camera quality is very good at night and during the day. I think the cameras are very value for the money. ... show more

  • Glitchy
Style: 2-Camera System Configuration: Battery
I have a hardwired camera system and got this to supplement by posting around the perimeter of the property; specifically to see cars coming up and down the street. I have a TP Link mesh network and plugged the camera hub into one of the mesh nodes. So although the camera hub needs to be hardwired into the wifi via ethernet, plugging it in to the mesh node (which is wifi) worked for me. The motion detection is sometimes poor and sometimes mediocre - it will start recording several seconds after a vehicle is in range, to the point where you only get a recording of the vehicle after it's almost passed the camera range. For people walking by it seems to pick them up better. Originally, the app would show a little timeline with snapshots of the video recording. That seems to have gone away. Now the camera doesn't detect motion ever, so it never records anything although I can view it live. It's basically useless, hence the one star review. The camera detection and recording worked from November 2022 until June 2023. I keep the camera on the highest setting which is 2K @ 20FPS (after all, what's the point of a camera if the resulting footage is unhelpful) but the battery life is poor. I do get a fair amount of activity but just a heads up that I'm changing the battery out every 4-5 days. ... show more
