Excellent Product, RING Quality Without the Ring Cost
By SC Buyer on Reviewed in the United States on March 19, 2025
Awesome product- I do not need to re-charge it because the sun keeps this fully charged. When its cloudy, the battery kicks in and that will re-charge on it's own the next time it is sunny. If you so wish, you can detach the camera and charge it with a USB-C (included) cable on your own as well but I have not needed to. The solar panel can be moved as well, it does not need to be hooked right above the camera as it is shown (I left it like that since my camera is in a sunny enough location). The panel comes with a cord that is like 4 feet long that can hook to the camera along with a separate base to move it into a sunnier location if your camera is not in an area that gets enough sun (like hooked to a tree). Includes everything you need to hook it to a wall etc.- screws and wall anchors, along with a handy sticker that you can put on the wall to use as your drill hole guide so you are not having to hold it up and draw holes/drill. As to the camera video/photos- very good. I have no issue with that, even at night. It comes with several features like an alarm if you want to turn on to scare intruders, a light that you can manually turn on at night, and a manual microphone to speak into it from your app/phone. You can also set the detection area in case you do not want certain areas to set it off in its range (which the range is VERY good as well), and also set it to alert your phone for only certain things like pets or people or cars only etc. Pretty much if you want to customize it, you can. Setup was very easy with the Tapo app, and it works well with Alexa/Google. Anyone can do it- even if you do not know much about apps on the phone. Price was good as well for what you get in my opinion. If you want a cheaper option, beware of the quality of the picture you get and also the battery life. JUST as good as the RING that I also own, and it is cheaper! It comes with a 30 day free TAPO cloud subscription similar to the ring one, but I never needed it. I have it save to a SD card since it includes a slot for that (which you have to purchase the card on your own- but they are cheap these days). Hope that helps! Well worth it if you do not want the RING cost but still want the RING quality.

Good value, easy to install, but marginal motion detection.
By Steve Webb on Reviewed in the United States on April 9, 2025
This camera was easy to install and the controls offer a ton of custom options. Video quality is very good both live and recorded. My only complaint is the motion detection range and sensitivity seems lacking. Even after turning all settings to the max, it barely reaches the road from my garage (about 50 feet). Even the giant garbage truck passing in front of the house and stopping for the trash cans does not reliably trigger the motion detection. I also wish the camera had a "pre-record" function or something like it. For instance, when someone walks up my driveway, the camera does not start recording until they are halfway up the driveway. (about 25 feet from the camera.) Solar panel works great and keeps the camera charged nicely. Wi-Fi connection is stable and flawless. For the price it's still a good value and I do not regret the purchase. I just wish the motion detection was better.
