Simple security and monitoring at a reasonable price
This camera was so easy to set up, position and maintain. It has worked flawlessly since I installed it. It arrived neatly packaged with simple setup instructions, a charging cable, magnetic fixing plates and sticky pads. It was partially charged when I received it but it still took about an hour to fully charge. It’s been working for 2 weeks now and still showing 91% charge so I’m very pleased with the current battery life. Connection to the internet through the Tapo app was very simple and quick. Picture and sound quality are very good and the ability to have 2-way communication is a great feature. I’ve currently got it fixed to the fridge door by the magnetic base and holder. It’s set to monitor my dog (and talk) on the odd occasion I have to leave him at home. Plenty of adjustment for detection range, motion and sensitivity. At night it has 2 strong lights which illuminate the area well. There is an option to use a microSD card for local recording but I’ve not tried this function yet. Very reasonably priced so I’d definitely recommend

Well made and with a magnetic base
This is a good, well made camera. The app controls it well. I had problems getting notifications on the phone but the problem was with my phone. Battery does not seem to have the capacity to last 300 days but it is still very good. Quality of recordings is excellent (night and day) and the magnetic base is one of its best features.At a price of around £60 is a good bargain. You will need to buy a micro SD

Try it you might like it
Really happy with this product, if your looking for a security camera to put somewhere with not alot of motion maybe the back yard this is the one. Decent quality footage. Always detects motions, people and pets. Always connects to alexa with no disconnection errors. The price was perfect, nowhere near breaking the bank for it. The magnetic mount was perfect for where i needed to put. Such a hassle free install for me. The features you get for the price is amazing plus no subscription is needed. You can put a sd card to save your footage or buy the subsciption to save it onto the cloud. The price for the subcription for the year is not bad either just under £30 for a YEAR. Dont really have it anywhere dark so cant comment on the night vision but the spotlight is really bright to deter any theives.

Great camera
Great picture quality. Easy to set up.Not happy putting it outside with just a magnetic mount - I tried to get a fixed mount but the camera manufacturers don’t do one! After searching I found one on AmazonOFFCUP Camera Wall Mount Bracket,... https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B0D1YN3RBG?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_shareFits perfectly. Now I feel the camera is secure outside.

Great truly wireless camera with night vision.
Ordered the Tapo TC425, arrived promptly. Like all our other Tapo products was seamless to setup and picture is clear and great quality. Wireless and rechargeable, battery seems to last well and attached to wall with magnetic base. Would definitely order another.

Very disappointing
I bought a TC82 camera and solar panel for my back yard, so far it has been brilliant. I thought I would get a camera for the front of the house but for aesthetic reasons I did not want a solar panel. I bought the C425 because of it's battery capacity. Unfortunately my experience has not been as good as the TC82. Firstly the camera kept dropping out even though I had bought a wi fi extender which was in the room adjacent to the camera. I tested the wi fi at the camera position and it was 62Mbps. I was constantly refreshing the camera and even removed and added it to the app 3 times. Next was detection issues, I set it up with an activity zone on my driveway for persons. It was intermittent so I turned the sensitivity up to maximum. Still problems so I added movement and turned that up to maximum. Still intermittent. Then the notifications were intermittent, I noticed a delivery from the post man but I had no notification. I checked the recordings and it was there but no notification. This continued happening. The final straw was the image quality at night which was very poor. The street has a good level of ambient light with a lamppost opposite my driveway. The camera image was darker than the actual scene, I think facial recognition at beyond 12 feet would have been difficult. I have returned the camera and ordered another cheaper TC82 to replace it.

A must have! Top drawer unit.
Amazing value really. On board storage, easy to review footage. I’ve set up monitoring zones and alerts to my phone. Quality of image is very good. I bought x 2. I have stuck one inside the garage with a metal roof and concrete panels and it still connects to my router in my office around 10m away and has the metal covered kingspan. IR image excellent with no added light whatsoever. Battery life is stunning! I would buy more but I have enough cameras around my house that I don’t need anymore. Might buy more anyways! And the recorded audio is also top notch. Highly recommend
