TC82 2K Battery Security Camera Outdoor Wireless, Indoor and Outdoor CCTV, Colour Night Vision, No Monthly Fee, AI Detection, IP65, 180 Day Life, Works with Alexa and Google, Push Notification

i bought a few of these and they are very easy to fit and connect to my phone great picture and you can edit how you want it to record or alert you etc good value and great product

I bought the Tapo TC82 to keep an eye on my backyard and kids playing outside, and it has been fantastic. Setup took literally 5 minutes - just mount it, connect to the app, and you're done. No wiring and the 180-day battery life is no joke; it's been running for weeks with zero maintenance. The 2K video quality is sharp and clear, and the colour night vision is genuinely impressive - I can see every detail in the garden even when it's pitch black. The Al detection is smart enough to ignore swaying trees but still alerts me instantly when someone (or the dog) is there. Best of all, there are no monthly fees and it works perfectly with both Alexa and Google Home. If you want reliable, high-quality outdoor security without subscriptions or complicated installation, this is the one. I've already recommended it to friends and family. Highly recommend!

I've had TP Link Tapo cameras before and they have always been great. This one is no exception. So easy to configure and install. The battery lasts for months but charges quickly (I charge mine with a USB powerbank to save having to remove them from the wall but they are easy to take down if needed). The image is super-clear and you can upgrade to cloud storage if required, although they will record to a MicroSD card. I like the cloud storage option and always use it. The camera is small but has a powerful light which can be turned on and off in the Tapo app. You can also speak through the camera using the internal speaker, also from the app. The motion detection is very customisable and it doesn't take long to find the range of sensitivity that works for your own needs.

Before these I had Ring cameras and there was nothing wrong with them but I hated that i was paying £10 a month for the subscription so I said when they start to break etc i would replace with tapo, anyway the front door camera battery went and bought a tapo front door camera and loved it, great quailty and easy to install then these came on offer during prime day and said i would replace them all, again easy to install and set up and i like the fact these have lights on them which really help with the night time, i installed sd cards and i cam access all video on that so far better than the other cameras I had, the picture quailty is so clear and you can see everything. They look good as well so I am happy with them

I bought this to keep an eye on my visiting hedgehogs. They are excellent. They record when they first come into their feeding station. So movement does it. And they are so easy to charge. Just bring it in and connect. Easy. I have 3 Tapo cameras. 2 indoor and this outdoor. I will get more as the ring door bells are rubbish. And the hunting camera isn't much better.

Very good value for money, clear pictures and sound. It is able to start recording before the image gets into view, so I don't miss a thing. I like the fact that I can adapt it at any angle I like, and the app notification is super as well. This should be the best on the market for the price, I am sure. It also connects to Google Home. I can even use it in the card wirelessly when fully charged if I am going on a long scenenic road trip. This is quality.

Really happy with this camera for outdoor monitoring. Easy to set up and great picture quality. Well worth it for the price paid for a product that actually works outdoors within minimum setup requirements. The SD card is bought seperatly and needs to be formatted using the camera settings.

Dear Tapo Support Team, I am writing to raise a complaint regarding two Tapo battery-powered cameras that I purchased from Amazon on 2 December 2024. For more than a year, both cameras worked exceptionally well. One camera is installed at the front of my property and the other in the backyard. The backyard camera would typically run for around four months on a single charge due to low activity, while the front camera would normally require charging every month to six weeks. I was very satisfied with their performance. However, over the last 15–20 days, both cameras have started experiencing serious issues. Without any apparent reason, one of the cameras will suddenly go offline. Sometimes it is the front camera, and other times it is the backyard camera. The cameras appear as "offline" in the app, even though: My internet connection is working perfectly. There are no electricity or power issues. Nothing has changed in my network setup. The cameras are installed in the same locations where they have worked reliably for over a year. In addition, I have noticed unusual battery drain. For example, I recently charged the front camera to 98%, but within approximately two days the battery dropped to around 40%. This is completely different from the performance I experienced previously. I also maintain an active subscription for the recording service through the Tapo app, which is paid monthly. Given that I have continued paying for the service and the cameras are relatively new, I am very disappointed that both devices have developed similar faults at the same time. I would appreciate a thorough investigation into this issue and a clear explanation of what is causing these problems. If the devices are faulty, I would like to know what options are available for repair, replacement, or any other suitable resolution. At the moment, the cameras are not providing the reliable security service that I purchased them for, and I would like this matter resolved as soon as possible. I look forward to your response.

Great!

Caméra de bonne qualité. Pas mal d’options.

Brilliant. Bought these in addition to two indoor cameras. Highly recommend this brand

البطارية تخلص في اقل من ٨ شهور ، يعني يالذكي لا تعلقها بجدار و تبلش وخل الشاحن حولك. و الشي ثاني وحدة منه طاحت طيحة بسيطة مترين وتعطلت نهائيا

Yo tengo otras cámaras de la marca por lo que me interesaba comprar otra de la misma marca que pudiera controlar desde la misma app, pero que pudiera colocar en cualquier sitio sin preocuparme de la toma de corriente. Para eso, esta cámara es sensacional. La puedes colocar literalmente donde quieras mientras alcance la señal wifi. No necesitas tener una toma de corriente cerca, ni cables de ningún tipo. Una vez cargas la batería por completo (pongo foto del cargador específico que trae) la ficha de la cámara dice que dura 6 meses, pero en mis pruebas con un uso NO continuado (está activada y en vigilancia unas 12 horas al día) dura muchísimo más. En 3 meses y medio con este uso la batería ha bajado un 20%. Es decir, extrapolando, con un uso de 12 horas diarias la batería durará alrededor de 17 meses, casi el triple de lo indicado (eso sí: yo no le activo los focos potentes que trae si detectan a alguien por la noche). Una maravilla. Además, puedes ver en todo momento el estado de carga desde la app y te avisa de si anda baja de batería (en teoría, no lo he visto aún). Yo la he colocado en casa, en el interior, en una zona donde no hay acceso a corriente y estoy encantado. Da una buena calidad de imagen con un campo de visión muy grande y es fácil de configurar. Como pega decir que no tiene corrección de distorsión por el gran angular (o sea, que por la zona de los bordes se ve curvada) como sí tienen otros modelos de la marca, pero vamos, a mi no me preocupa para un uso de vigilancia. Otra pega es que eso que dice de visión nocturna en color es una idiotez: no es visión nocturna en color, sino que significa que al activar esa característica, cuando se mueve alguien delante de la cámara le enchufa las luces potentes que lleva y, claro, entonces se ve en color porque hay luz. Si no le activas eso verás con claridad en la oscuridad, pero en blanco y negro como con cualquier cámara con infrarrojos. Las luces infrarojas se ven bastante también. Por cierto, si le activas los focos cuando detecta a alguien dan mucha potencia y me imagino que gastarán mucha batería. Como puedes imaginar viendo las fotos, no se puede mover en tiempor real como sí pasa con otros modelos, por lo que debes colocarla estratégicamene para que abarque el área que quieres vigilar. Es una pena que la marca no haga una cámara con giro de 360º (como la C220) que lleve incorporada batería como esta. En resumen: una gran cámara de vigilancia para colocar en cualquier lado, con una batería eterna y un precio muy competitivo.
