QuestionHow many of these cameras can be linked together to view on one phone? Does it work with both I-phone and analog? How many people can use the app?
Asked 3 months ago by MarkW.
- Answer App allows you to select viewing for up to 9 cameras at one time. I believe you can have up to 32 cameras linked through the same user account. We run on android platform and windows PC. Multiple devices can use the app at the same time (we've had 3) but not sure the max.

QuestionWill these cameras work with a hotspot connection?
Asked 3 months ago by KP.
- Answer Hi KP, If the hotspot provides encrypted 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi connectivity with an adequately stable signal strength at the camera locations, they should be able to connect to the Wi-Fi network. However, to maintain management and access to the cameras via the Tapo app, the cameras must maintain a consistent network connection.

Questioncan’t someone simply steal the camera by unhooking it from thr magnet? At least ring camera have to be unscrewed?
Asked 6 months ago by Nbhargava.
- Answer It is possible to snatch the device because it’s only secured via a magnet. The best solution is to place it in a spot that is not easily accessible. On the other hand, it does record and alert within seconds of motion being detected. You can see it immediately when you get the notification.

QuestionHow can i conect in my phone
Asked 7 months ago by Anonymous.
- Answer Hi, To set up your Tapo Camera, simply download and install the Tapo app (free on Android and iOS) on your phone, create a TP-Link ID (or log in with an existing one), then add the camera using the in-app instructions. You will need access to an existing, password-protected Wi-Fi network that is within range of the camera's location.

QuestionI want to order a four magnetic-base 2K camera kit with four solar panels and a hub/base-station that will connect via ethernet to my local modem/router. Can you or Amazon offer such a purchase, or must I go to a different brand?
Asked 1 year ago by AlexCarp.
- Answer Our MagCam connect directly to your home's 2.4 GHz network. They do not require a hub as they wireless and not Sub-G. You do have the option, if you have a Tapo H200 hub, to record to the local storage of the hub. In the US the Hub comes with the Tapo C400S1/C400S2 or the Tapo C420S1/C420S2. If you don't have the hub the cameras can still record locally via a MicroSD card.

QuestionCan these cameras be hardwired with a usb-c chargers my cord
Asked 1 year ago by Jkar.
- Answer Hi Jkar, If the camera is exposed to the elements—including rain—keeping a standard USB charging cable connected without a seal may compromise its weatherproofing. We suggest considering our Tapo A200 Solar Panel Charger, which includes a charging cable with a weatherproof gasket, to keep the camera charged: https://www.bestbuy.com/site/tp-link-tapo-mountable-solar-panel-for-tapo-home-security-cameras-white/6562035.p?skuId=6562035
