Tapo SolarCam C403 Kit, Outdoor Battery Camera w/Solar Panel, Wireless, 1080P, Free Person Detection, SD/Cloud Storage, Color Night Vision, Built-in Spotlights & Alarm, No Hub Needed, Black

Ordered 3 of these. One is model Rev 1.0 and has better features than the model Rev 2.0. Doesn’t state anywhere which you will receive, but appears the newer ones had feature stripped. Regardless of this, the cameras work great. Easy to set up like all of the Tapo stuff. Solar panel keeps the battery pinned at 100% even though I’ve not oriented them perfectly. Would like the option to cap the charging at 80% for battery health over time.

Arrived swiftly, easy to set up and install. Which is always extremely welcome. This is our 5th tapo camera in our collection and they're all fabulous. The picture quality is really clear, both day and night with optional sound recording. The alarm is loud if enabled.... Much to the annoyance of my husband when I had set it to test then he went and put the bins out later that night 😬 Excellent value for money.

I know Tapo aren't "high end" but I find them reliable and very good value. They haven't let me down yet even when there are sometimes signal issues it's not the units. But I love these so far. Can't be sure how the panel, etc will last, but the old cameras have been good externally. Many benefits from solar and although one of them keeps "complaining" about being "woken" the battery isn't faltering much below 90 odd even in the shorter days (the first ones, this is a later purchase to complete coverage)

It’s just perfect

Easy installation and set up, great picture quality and sound, overall impressed with this camera.

Really disappointed with this camera. Bought the solar one so I’d not have to charge very often. Got it on minimum alert settings, but in one day it’s down to 52%. Not sure if it’s faulty

Worked ok when first set up but next day lost the picture Think l did not have enough sun light for it to work ! Reguards Steve

Will return this item would not connect to wi fi

Facile à installer. Se recharge très bien grâce au panneau. Qualité vidéo parfaite

La compré hace 4 Meses, ha aguantado lluvia, mucho sol y sigue en perfectas condiciones, la recomiendo (la luz nocturna no es la más fuerte pero no está mal) . La carga dura las 24 hrs sin problema y el panel si sirve

Product not charging and not working at all . No warranty coverage even after 7 months .

when there is motion, does not activate. gets vehicle and person recognition wrong.

I am pleased with this brand of cameras! And, I submitted this review for another one of the five Tapo cameras that I have purchased here at Amazonn. I have 5 so far; one C403, one C400, one Cam1927, one C100 68D3, and one C104. I use the C100 and the C104 inside of two closed windows, sitting on the windows’ sills (in Day Mode with the Status LED turned off). One evening while checking the C100 …, I discovered that I could still see very clearly through the window’s glass, when the camera was left on Day Mode during the dark of night! The same is true about the C104, as well. When I move to my own house I will add outdoor cameras for monitoring such areas of my yard; this isn’t an option where I live at this moment. I use the Cam 1927 to monitor my bedroom, before I added a keyed lock to the door; someone had been entering my bedroom after I would leave for work. Now, when I exit my bedroom to go to others parts of the house, I turn the Cam 1927 on, just in case … . I am using the C403 and the C400 to monitor my private, fenced garden of Arborvitae trees, Leyland Cypress trees, Roses, Hydrangeas, Day Lilies, a Gardenia, Crape Myrtle trees, a Lenten Rose, Peonies, Variegated Ivy, a Liriope, a Lavender and a faux Maple-like tree all in movable planters and pots, to help prevent another theft of my plants. With the Night Mode on for these two outdoor-mounted cameras I can see the plants and trees detail, in shades of gray, with bright illumination. Last week these two cameras captured what appeared to be someone’s drone light shining into this fenced garden for twenty minutes, approximately. When I switched these two cameras to Day Mode the drone light was not visible. Also, there weren’t any bodies visible with flashlights, either. My C100 … faces the front of the garden where the drone lights were aimed, and by the C100’s view no one was standing there with a flashlight. Nor could I see a drone, yet due to using my Tapo app on two devices simultaneously, I could see the drone light still scanning the front end of the garden. This drone activity occurred from 2:37am to 3:13am. The area being scanned has a short cement block wall that curves inside my garden’s fence beside the retaining wall where another house is situated on the opposite side. Due to the time of the drone being used, I thought the drone user was trying to determine (for 20+ minutes ) whether or not the cement block wall could be removed to gain access to the trees and plants. I am grateful my Tapo cameras caught this occurrence; I have two Tapo videos and several photos of the drone light activity. Since that day, June 4th, I have ‘fortified’ my garden even more, without decreasing its beauty. (People moved into the house opposite the retaining wall approximately two weeks ago; the view inside my fenced garden is barely visible from their driveway and totally-blocked (via a privacy screen) from their windows facing the property here. I think they are responsible …) I am grateful that these Tapo cameras work so well (as advertised)! They are indeed easy to set up, the motion detection is great! The video quality is wonderful and so is connectivity. I enjoy receiving the notifications on my cellphone and iPad, too! Thank you, Tapo for your great cameras!
