Q: does this camera have 24/7 recording capability?
A: Hi kel, No. The Tapo C400 records clips based on detected activity (depending on the detection settings you have configured in the Tapo app), with the option to store them locally on a microSD card (sold separately) or, if you prefer, in cloud storage via a Tapo Care Subscription.
Q: Can I use in Ghana, West Africa?
A: Hi Emma, As long as the Tapo app (Android, iOS) is available in your region, and the cameras are installed in a location where your router's 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi signal is sufficiently stable, they should work.
A: Yes, Tapo requires the use of a smartphone or Tablet and the Tapo app.
Q: Can I check the camera with my I phone
A: Hi, Yes, the Tapo app is compatible with iPhones and can be installed via the App Store.
A: Hi, The Tapo C400 Kit is currently available in a 2-Pack configuration. Local storage is available by using microSD cards (sold separately). A monthly subscription is not required unless you would like to try our optional Tapo Care Cloud Video Storage plan.
Q: Whats the distance the wifi connection must be to the camera.
A: Hi Michelle, The camera should be installed in a location where your router's 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi signal is sufficiently strong and stable. If you are unsure of your router's current Wi-Fi range, you can try using your phone to test where the signal begins to degrade, then plan the camera's installation based on your findings. If need be, Wi-Fi Range Extenders or Mesh Wi-Fi solutions such as our Deco Mesh Systems can provide robust Wi-Fi coverage and range.

Great way to add cameras to just about anywhere
These are great and fairly easy to set up. I did not opt-in for the cloud storage but did have to purchase two microSD cards for them to operated.

Great value.
If you don't want a subscription and a fairly consistent camera set this one's solid. Battery life is great. Video quality is fairly accurate for what I want it for. Night footage is solid. Overall would buy more since it's easy to set up and long as SD cards are a fair price worth it over the yearly subscription toost other camera systems.
