by TP-Link Wireless Outdoor Security Camera, 1080P, Up to 180 Days Battery Life, Free Person Detection, SD/Cloud Storage, Spotlight Color Night Vision, Alarm, No Hub Needed, Black, C403

Been using this Tapo Camera for few years now. Have a couple for monitoring outdoors. Worked great in sun, in rains and snow and freezing temperatures. Battery holds charge for Atleast 4 months. Alerts and Advanced AI recognition works best. App works great. Video qualify and Night vision are superior. Can setup custom alert zones. Easy to setup and install. Works really great. 5 star rating. Great value for money. No subscription needed. Fantastic value.

I recently bought to my backyard, Its very easy to setup and no wiring just one full charge then u are ready to go. So smooth and worth the price. Good quality, Immediate notification on motion detection, and two way talking and lights on the device and really good night vision. I was searching for a cam without wiring stuff and landed here to buy. Its really worth buying it.

We purchased two Tapo cameras (the Tapo 120 and the Tapo C402). Both worked fine—until we upgraded to a new Xfinity modem/router. After that, the Tapo C402 simply refused to reconnect to our Wi‑Fi network. Over the course of multiple calls with Tapo’s tech support, we repeated the same troubleshooting steps more than ten times, including: - Confirming the correct Wi‑Fi password (we even deleted and re‑added the network on our phone to verify it). - Rebooting the router and attempting setup again. - Reinstalling the Tapo app. - Moving the camera directly next to the router to eliminate signal issues. None of these attempts worked. Meanwhile, our Tapo 120 camera reconnected instantly—proving the problem is not our router, our Wi‑Fi, or our setup process. The issue is specific to the C402. We purchased the Tapo C402 at the end of December 2024. When we contacted TP‑Link support, they informed us that the device was out of warranty by a matter of weeks and that they would not offer any assistance or replacement. To make matters worse, we subscribed to Tapo’s cloud service for both cameras in April 2026. The app provides no option to cancel the subscription for the C402, even though the camera no longer works. We are still waiting for a response from their subscription team, but based on other users’ experiences, Tapo typically refuses refunds because the service is “prepaid.” For context: we previously used Dropcam and Arlo cameras and never once had issues reconnecting them to Wi‑Fi. Now that the Tapo C402 has failed, we’ve reactivated our Arlo system without any trouble. This entire experience has been extremely frustrating. Reconnecting a Wi‑Fi camera should be simple. Instead, we were left with a non‑functional device, unhelpful customer support, and a cloud subscription we cannot cancel. We’re sharing this so others don’t waste money on the Tapo C402 or get locked into a cloud service that offers no flexibility and no support when their hardware fails.

I recently purchased the Tapo cameras, and I am beyond impressed with their performance! The setup was incredibly easy—within minutes, I had them connected to my Wi-Fi and ready to go, thanks to the clear instructions in the app. Image Quality: The camera's video quality is fantastic, with crisp HD resolution, even at night. The night vision feature works perfectly, providing clear and sharp images even in complete darkness. Motion Detection: The motion detection is spot-on and can be customized to suit my needs. I love how I can receive instant notifications if there’s any activity detected. It adds an extra layer of security for my home, giving me peace of mind. App Control: The Tapo app is intuitive and easy to navigate. I can check live footage, adjust settings, and review recorded videos all from my phone. It’s incredibly convenient to be able to monitor my home remotely. Two-Way Audio: The two-way audio feature is a nice touch! I can easily communicate with visitors or speak to my pets if needed. It’s a small feature but adds a lot of value. Overall, these cameras offer excellent value for money, providing top-notch security features, easy installation, and user-friendly controls. I highly recommend the Tapo cameras to anyone looking to upgrade their home security setup!

Perfect replacement for Wyze cameras and similar which are useless without subscription which paywalls even the most basic functions. This one is good quality, well priced, allows 100% sd storage, has options to prevent unnecessary alarms which are delivered fast and are unlimited, good video quality day or night, app works great too

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

I wish I knew how they came up with 180 days for the battery life. I specifically bought it for this reason. I have to charge this every 45 - 50 days at best. The quality is good and it works well, but the battery life makes me question whether or not I would ever buy another one…..unless I received a defective one.

Tapo Carmers are the best! 1. They are easy to assemble. 2. They have a screen in base with a magnet or a scew in base that swivels. 3. The clarity is excellent. 4. The camera has a mic, and you can speak through the camera. 5. You can zoom in and out, and the wide view is excellent. 6. Best of all, the battery lasts at least 8 - 10 months. I have been running mind for 10 months, and I was down to 38 percent. It's just unreal. 7. Since you can use the camera without having it plugged in 24/7 (because of the battery life), you can place this camera anywhere. 8. I highly recommend this camera. I have 3 now.

Works well battery lasts well, clear images, installs easily works well on tapo app, it does not display images on Google home.

Good and easy to install

Es una excelente cámara, duración de batería excepcional, buena imagen y funciones de control. No funciona atrás de una ventana o cristales (el sensor de movimiento no detecta movimientos para encenderse). Solo funciona si el sujeto está frente a la cámara sin cristal de por medio.

No UAE PLUG

Fonctionne très bien
