Tapo TC40 Pan/Tilt Smart Security Outdoor Camera, Full HD, 360° Smart Person Detection Motion Tracking, Color Night Vision, WiFi Camera No Monthly Fee, Two-Way Talk, IP65, Works with Alexa & Google

I initially had a few problems with both my TC40 Cameras dropping out and losing connection to my Internet, even though the Deco Mesh Network was also manufactured by the same company - TP Link. I contacted their Technical Dept for assistance, and they gave me loads of hints and tips to solve the issue, but unfortunately, it didn't, as they still kept dropping off the Network. Even after pairing just one camera directly to my main Internet Suppliers Modem, I still had a similar issue. So it a was a general rather than a specific connection issue. After going deep into the TAPO App, I found a setting that I decided to change, and since then the two cameras have performed superbly, and no drop out - so seems Ive solved the Drop Out Issue myself. Apart from that Hic Up - I cannot fault the clarity of the cameras in both Daylight and "Smart Mode" in the total darkness - the picture quality as fabulous at all times of the day/night. The TAPO App is also first class as you have so many options you can choose how to control the cameras, and what info you want it give you, when you want Notifications, and not etc etc. Its faultless in its Options and simplicity to control what you want the cameras to do for you. For the price I bought these 2 x TC40 for, I believe I got excellent value for money, over and well below other manufacturers cameras I could have purchased, for a lot more money. So superb value for money, once I was able to overcome in infuriating Drop Out situation. One simple change in the Network Settings made the whole difference and stopping the Drop Out situation. Easy to place in the correct position, easy to Set Up on the TAPO App, and set the requirements you need from these Security Cameras. Money well spent now the gremlins have gone.

Good camera good price at the time

This is my 4th Tapo unit purchase. Easy to install and connect via the Tapo app, high quality images. Don't forget that you will need an micro SD card if you want to be able to keep and review archive footage. I purchased a 512GB card which cost more than the camera!

I bought this camera not to use with the Tapo ecosystem, but actually to add to an existing IP camera security system (a Synology Security Station), and I'm pleased to say it worked out of the box. The picture quality is pretty good during the day, and night vision benefits from bright IR LED's so it's more than capable. The camera supports both wifi and ethernet, however do bear in mind the ethernet connection doesn't support PoE, so you'll need to run a seperate power cable. Helpfully, the power cable is super long for the camera, but it's unfortunate that there's no PoE support. Even if you're not using the Tapo app to control/record with it, you can easily set up the camera and hand it off to your own NVR. Pan and Tilt is a nice bonus, and works outside of the Tapo app. The camera presents excellent value for money, but loses a star for having ethernet without PoE support!

Brilliant.Amazing for the money. Full colour or B&W at night. Pan&Tilt (no Zoom) but it does track and follow the movement detected. Easy to play back images and vids. Has audio if you need it. Comes with a power supply and works tirelessly from the router or can be hardwired. You will need to buy an SD Card. Great images for just £45

Now first of all let it be known that I’m an absolute technodinosaur so anything involving Wi Fi, Internet and related issues is a foreign country to me. Having said that, this camera was a doddle to set up. App was easy to navigate and all pairing issues went like clockwork. The camera itself is excellent. Clear video and audio and picks up motion and persons even on low (3) sensitivity. Access to video clips on the app is straightforward. I’m using a 128 Gb card and there seems to be loads of storage and with loop recording the camera just records over earliest recordings. Owing to my total inability to understand smartphone technology and connectivity to the camera I’m left with one irritating issue which does not diminish my review of the camera, merely emphasises my down comings. The phone gives an audible notification of motion detection which is picked up on my Garmin watch. Yes, I completely get the irony of a techno numpty having a smart watch but it alerts my wife if and when I fall off my bike, an increasingly more common event these days. Consequently, as I live on a fairly busy thoroughfare the accursed phone and watch conspire to annoy me by audibly alerting me each time someone walks past, which is the camera’s function, but is somewhat distracting when it does so every couple of minutes. There is undoubtedly a way of switching off notifications, but it is thus far out of my area of competence to find it. Nevertheless, a cracking piece of kit and for the price an excellent buy. Update. After a few months of use I continue to be impressed by this camera. You get used to the notifications and find them useful after a while. The video quality is very good. I must, though, give a resounding thumbs up to Tapo Customer Support. They are second to none in my opinion. I’ve contacted them a couple of times on technical issues and their response has been swift and efficient. Answered my questions with expertise and straightforward advice. Excellent.

I'm so very impressed with this camera. It's got some brilliant features and yet it's such a great price. It's the easiest thing ive ever set up in my life, once you have chosen your wi fi it pretty much sets itself up. I love the fact that the camera tracks and follows people and when it's dark 2 little spotlights come on so you can see in colour. The quality of the recording is brilliant and the audio is also very good. I have put a 128gb micro sd card in mine which I find is fine for the amount of recordings I get every day although you can have up to 500 gb. There's lots of options to choose from to tailor the camera to your specific needs. I'm so impressed with it I decided to buy another one for the other side of my bungalow, it's like having 2 mini robot security guards the way they move and look around 😁

A very good quality external camera. I wanted something to monitor my vehicles on the driveway and this didn’t disappoint. Easy set up with motion detection and exceptional image quality. All features are accessible from the app on your phone and any captured videos can be easily downloaded. Subscribe for unlimited storage capacity or use memory card in the unit.

Perfekt för övervakning och för ett bra pris. Funkar otroligt bra

بصراحة كاميرا ماشالله ممتازة

Rien à dire

Super fast delivery from Amazon. Item itself very easy to install once you plan for power source location etc. Set up very easy and quality of image, pan, tilt, AI detection and notifications are all high end. Really happy with product overall and the addition of alarm and spotlight are very good. The two way speech is good but in my case I mounted camera up under eaves and when I talk back it is a little low, but the microphone on camera picks everything up perfectly and can be volume controlled. The panoramic view is great and the Patrol mode is also very good. App easy to use but lots of function on it so it does take a little getting used to. That being said its a very good app.No problem recommending this product. My installation took roughly one hour from start to finish with all functionality operational. Its 5 ***** all round from me.

Una ottima telecamera, buona visione giorno e notte, reattiva, ottima anche la app con tema scuro nativo, intuitiva e funzionale, la migliore app che io abbia mai utilizzato. visualizza registrazioni in locale, tutto come desritto, ne ho acquistate due soddisfatto dal primo axquisto e la ricomprerei. Cosigliata
