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

Good camera good price at the time

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

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 😁

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!

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.

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.

Have a few tapo systems and never any problems. The outdoor CCTV camera is excellent, good picture quality , easy to set up , powered by usb , good sound pick up , night vision is good and good zoom , and also a great easy free app I would recommend.

We now have two of these cameras, one at the front of our house and one at the rear. They were eay to set up following the instructions. You can set up alerts but this got a bit annoying as normal movements set up an alert each time the unit is triggered so was switched off. The camera can tell the difference between humans and other motions (birds, cats and nightime rainfall etc) which is good. No need to pay for cloud storage although that is available as it stores video on a micro usb memory card. Nighttime the camera works very well and if you use the app on your phone you can turn on its light and results will be in full colour. It seems odd when the camera tracks and follows a human around giving a tremendous coverage. You can also set up pre-set positions for the camera to view or even patrol. We don't use the patrol feature but do use the presets. Very good value and we have just bought our daughter one for her new house.

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

بصراحة كاميرا ماشالله ممتازة

Rien à dire

Ho deciso di comprare la Tapo C500 per migliorare la sicurezza fuori casa e nel complesso sono davvero soddisfatto del risultato. Fin dal primo utilizzo si percepisce che è un prodotto ben fatto e intuitivo: l’installazione tramite app è molto semplice e in pochi minuti avevo tutto configurato e funzionante. L’app Tapo è chiara e reattiva, con notifiche immediate quando viene rilevato movimento. La telecamera gira a 360° e si inclina fino a 130°, così posso monitorare tutto il giardino o il vialetto senza punti “ciechi”. La qualità video Full HD 1080p è buona per questo tipo di dispositivo e permette di vedere chiaramente persone e movimenti a distanza, anche di notte grazie alla visione notturna efficace. Tra le funzioni che uso di più c’è la rilevazione intelligente delle persone e il tracking automatico del movimento: non ricevo notifiche inutili per foglie che si muovono o automobili che passano, ma solo quando c’è qualcosa di rilevante. L’audio bidirezionale è un plus, utile se voglio parlare con qualcuno di passaggio o allontanare qualcuno con un messaggio vocale. La protezione IP65 contro acqua e polvere mi dà tranquillità anche in condizioni meteo avverse. Se devo trovare un piccolo difetto, rispetto a modelli più costosi la qualità dell’immagine non è “super pro”, ma per quello che costa e per l’uso quotidiano è più che soddisfacente.

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.
