TC82 2K Battery Outdoor Security Camera Wireless

Love this camera!! So easy to set up, quality is amazing (see the images and videos) and both night and day quality is great. As it is charged by the solar panel it has stayed at 98% so far and not lost any charge. The settings are really good and you can do lots to change what you catch and when. We use the connection to the cloud which i am happy with as we have 4 other Tapo cameras in our home system and it all works really well. The responsiveness of the camera is good; none of these 'action cams' that catch things when triggered is 100% perfect and gets everything, but it catches about 99% of things, and I can connect quickly and check on the house from anywhere using the app. It is that good that we are going to get another couple for the garden to make sure the back of the house is covered too. Really happy and I don't see how you can be disappointed with the 4K quality, especially compared to other expensive alternatives - I have had both Ring and Blink cams, and I think that the Tapo 4K stuff is just as good, and more cost effective.

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!

This is one of those 'so good I bought it twice'. I wanted to put a camera further up my garden where there was no power and went for this camera. Being powered by battery it Is very easy to mount and set up. It has been in place for about 2 months now and battery power is showing 91%. Adjustable detection is great avoiding annoying false alerts. Switching between 720 and 4k is great for speed. Look first in 720 and if there's anything to see switch to higher resolution. I bought a second for another location where the power supply was variable. Overall a quality product at a good price.

Before these I had Ring cameras and there was nothing wrong with them but I hated that i was paying £10 a month for the subscription so I said when they start to break etc i would replace with tapo, anyway the front door camera battery went and bought a tapo front door camera and loved it, great quailty and easy to install then these came on offer during prime day and said i would replace them all, again easy to install and set up and i like the fact these have lights on them which really help with the night time, i installed sd cards and i cam access all video on that so far better than the other cameras I had, the picture quailty is so clear and you can see everything. They look good as well so I am happy with them

A 4k, battery powered camera with solar panels and it delivers to a great standard. Very easy to set up, a great price (bought on prime day sales). The app is easy to understand and works along with other tapo devices to build an eco system. It's compatible with SD cards, a tapo home hub (I have the h500 which is also fab and gives extra functionality to your camera) and an option to subscribe for cloud storage but this is not essential at all. I've opted for an SD card as a back up and the h500 as the main driver to make use of the extra features it provides. A fantastic product which doesn't hide it's best features behind a subscription wall I will be buying more tapo cameras and slowly replacing my old cameras l, both to avoid subscription and because I'm genuinely much more impressed by these than my current system. Quality and value for money at the same time. Perfect.

Bought this to keep an eye on the house while away, and it exceeds expectations. The motion alerts are fast, the person/pet AI detection works surprisingly well, and the two-way audio is clear. Video quality is crystal clear also it's easy to set up . For the price, you can't beat it.

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.

It's a pity that amazon don't include a tapo sd card. I found out the hard way that it has to have certain criteria before its compatible and will format properly. Once done the camera was ready to go and works great. Its easy to set up and the recording are very clear. Not used night mode yet to compare. Would possibly give it 5 * once its been tested a few days. Now tested for a few days and the charge only lasts till the early hours. The solar panel is lack lustre to say the least you will have to use a charging cable in the winter for definate as it strugles now in the summer.

Great!

Caméra de bonne qualité. Pas mal d’options.

Brilliant. Bought these in addition to two indoor cameras. Highly recommend this brand
