The ease of setup and installation, along with the option for local storage, are also frequently praised. While some users noted occasional inconsistencies with motion detection, the overall experience is largely positive, particularly given the inclusion of solar panels for convenient charging. The wide field of view is another frequently cited advantage.

Runs amazing, app works smooth as long as you stay up to date with the updates. No issues I highly recommend ensuring you WIFI is within range for smooth feed. MESH WIFI works best if the distance is far from the product. Battery on its own lasts for like 3 months without charge at eco settings.

Good video quality. The only thing I have found wrong is the timing. A person will already be knocking before I get a notification that a person was detected.

Easy to install and mount. Has done everything we hoped for. The solar panels do an awesome job of keeping them charged and allowed us to setup in the areas we wanted but didn’t have access to power. Great purchase.

Easy setup and installation, because it is solar you do not need to do the electrical wiring. Camera has a wide angle too.

Sure it can charge without directly facing the sun, so long as there is enough light. However, its sensors are slow and patchy. If you have a long driveway it will pick up motion far down the street, but not up near the entrance of the driveway. It will pick up random passing by vehicles, but not anything in your driveway, unless its 2 feet in-front of the camera. It may or may not ever pick anything up.
The construction of this thing worries me, there are too may distinct pieces. I've seen videos of people try to rip off door-cams. These can probably be removed in 4 different ways, its so dumb.
Its heavy, you would think it had more than a motion sensor for its size. not counting the infrared, This should have something heat sensing for greater detection accuracy. These are supposed to be out doors, couldn't it have had an outside temp. gauge? I hate to say it but I probably could have found something just as good or better for cheaper on amazon...

Brand response from TPLinkSupport

Hi ThiftyTechy,
Thank you for your review. If you have any concerns about detection, we recommend adjusting the camera's detection settings in the Tapo app. This allows you to fine-tune what you want to detect, in what area, and at what sensitivity levels.
We appreciate your feedback regarding the camera's weight. Since these cameras are battery-operated, much of the device weight comes from their robust, rechargeable batteries and other components.
If you have any questions about your experience with the cameras, our support team is always happy to help. Feel free to reach out using the support portal on our official TP-Link website, and a support agent will gladly assist you.
Thank you, TP-Link Systems Support

I like these cameras a lot. This was the second set of three Tapo Outdoor battery-powered wireless security cameras with solar panels that I have bought from Best Buy. Not only are these cameras highly rated by Consumer Reports I got them at a very good price. I highly recommend them.

Easy to setup and configure, Solar panels do a great job charging the batteries, will see this Winter if they won't need manual charging.
