Excellent security camera, always charged with included solar panel.

This camera is the best of a variety of security cameras I've bough recently. The solar panel keeps it fully charged, the motor allows a wide field of view and the image quality is good. I have it connected relatively far from my router and despite that, I have not had connectivity issues. The unit is solid, and I'm confident it will hold up to the elements like other Tapo cameras I have. Everything needed to install it to a wall (in my case, masonry) is included. I opted for cloud storage but if you don't, you can still insert a memory card. Setup is quick and easy, and you can configure preset targets for quick panning.Ver más

Great camera, awesome function and features, solar panel needs upgraded

So far the camera is great! We’ve had it a little over a week and it functions really well. We purchased it because a predator was killing our chickens. Since installing the camera we’ve been able to identify a family of foxes as our culprit and with the help of the movement notifications, we’ve been able to run outside and scare them away. As such, our sightings have greatly decreased and we haven’t lost any more chickens. I also like that it has two way audio, a light, and the image quality is pretty decent, even at night.I do agree with other reviews that the solar panel that comes with the cam is a little underpowered. It was only charging 4-5% each day, even though the mounting location gets several hours of morning sun. If you have the perfect location and sun exposure, it might work better, but definitely doesn’t live up to the 45 minute charging time as advertised. I decided to buy a universal 6watt panel from Amazon for about $15. So far we’re getting charged consistently to 97% before sundown. I’d like to reach 100%, but I’m satisfied that the camera will function at the current rate.Ver más

Completely Satisfied!

I have installed these cameras on the front of my RV fifth wheel and on the back of my RV fifth wheel. I am very satisfied with their function and reliability. I installed super magnets on their base and attach them through a metal plate I installed on my RV. The solar panels worked great also living in the desert the solar panels come in extremely handy keeping the batteries charged. I originally charged the batteries at 100% two weeks ago and they are now at 95% and maintained. Very easy to install very easy to use. I recommended for any RVs.Ver más

Live viewing possible but needs better panels to offset battery consumption.

I bought 2 c660 camera kits that would be a 5 star if it wernt for the solar panels not charging enough to offset battery use in live view or 24/7 capture. In 24/7 capture (not live view) battery life dropped significantly. I recharged, took off 24/7 capturing and waited to make sure it wasnt dropping than set up live viewing via app on fire tv and thats when battery life plummeted. While viewing live the app manually has to be stopped, it deosnt time out which will drain battery in less than a day. With intermittent live viewing, battery was much better depending on number of times viewed and length of live viewing. Both cams were dropping daily in 24/7 capture, recharging about 20% in the day and droppings back down at night until they completely drained in 3 days despite being in direct sunlight most of the day. Once I replaced the included small 2watt panels with normal sized 6watt panels, both cameras were back to 100% in 3 days with live viewing intermittently and 24/7 capture on 20 seconds and stay at >96%. It takes a learning curve to get zones and sensitivity to your liking just like the ring cams. If you dont use those 2 modes then you dont have to worry about battery draining with provided panels, unless you have motion on thats constantly triggering it on. I face a street and usually have about 15 events a day without ever dropping past 96% with 6watt panels.Cameras themselves have good quality videos and pics. Notifications are quick and just as good as the rings im trying to replace with exception of no pictures, thats a paid service like the ring cameras but tapo calls it rich notifications. Only con is they arnt as wide angled as the rings which limits their view (see photos for comparison), but pan and zoom make up for that. C660 FOV is 98° vertical while ring is 150 diagnal. I can see everything at once with ring but depend on the pan to see with tapo. Its nice but also i can see where if there was multiple people walking different directions, Ai will choose one to follow leaving the rest out of view. I've seen them not track in that situation to include as much as possible but luckily that doesn't happen often and I never really thought about their dual lens at the time that tracks and has wider FOV.Storage goes up to 512GB, but I have 256GB high endurance micro SD that Ive been using about a month now and Im at 2GB. App layout is simple to follow and allows for pretty much all of rings setups with few exceptions:1. No privacy mode timer incase you forget to turn the camera back on.2. Only one scedule set up for when you dont want notifications but do want recording. If you want more than one you have to set a wider off window which leaves you without notifications for longer time than you'd like but its only way to get mutiple times in one.3. No big deal but zones are 4 points not 5 or 6 which leaves less than flexible shapes for coverage. Minor things like that though im willing to sacrifice to save money each year if they continue to perform.4. No individualized device notification sounds, all devices have just one notification sound customizable through notifications on the phones settings for tapo app. Only exception is when doorbell is pressed, that notification sound is seperate and customizable also under phones notifications for the tapo app. One other thing was noise when camera turns quickly, I replaced one thinking its camera but replacement was same you can hear the turning when tracking fast vehicles (not loud but audible).Update 6months later: still performing well, with exception of drifting from the set point (home position) occasionally. I usually correct by panning back. It gives you 6 slots to set so you can quickly turn camera to, but main one is never where its set to and I cant figure out why.The notification tells you its person/pet/vehicle or motion for free, and you can filter event based on that for free. Rich notifications (video/picture clip and 180 day cloud storage) is $3.25/month for 1 camera or 35$/year, or $119/year for 2 or more. Now they have areal (ai assistant) that gives you quick search, voice assist, facial recognition, and cloud storage for 200$/year. While super cool and detailed notification and clip down to the action and color of clothing, Im happy with free version still and plenty of local storage (used 13g out of 256g without 24/7 capture). If you use that feature it will use up storage in a week or 2 depending on your setting and sd card will rewrite itself. This feature if FREE unlike paid subscriptions so with a good quality card it will last years. As for the subscription, I only had to search footage from month back one time in a six month period so definently can live without areal, and 200$ seems steep for that. Missed events were fixed once we turned up sensitivity and adjusted detection zones that had to be reset when I recalibrate camera back to home position, but tapo has put out update to fix this issue and cameras no longer drift.If I had to do all over I would buy the tapo dual lens c675 but this was not out at the time i purchased 660's. The C675 4k is much pricer but worth looking into if you'd like the wider field of view and pan/zoom all in one. All in all I feel confident turning off ring subscription since I get all the same notifications consistently with the c660s and they track pretty well down the street and I can read licsence plates.

Amazing home surveillance camera

This camera is amazing. Auto pan and tilt, motion activated, 4k res, solar powered, micro sd recording so no extra subscription charges. Think the auto pan zoom makes people this they are actively being watched 👀 😆

Everything you'd want in an outdoor camera to let you know what's going on around the house!

I now own a half-dozen Tapo cameras - they're amazing! Setup is easy and access via the apps (iphone/ipad) is equally easy. This particular model is extra awesome as solar powered (and have never had a power issue - never) and it has very impressive Intelligence in selecting what parameters you want it to alert you about if you choose that setup, else will record everything and it can easily tell a person, from a pet, from motion in general. The infrared and night viewing is everything you'd want. Overall the price is competitive across the Tapo line. Buy it - no regrets!Ver más

Decent cameras but the onboard storage and app are lacking.

I'm tossed up about these cameras. They do work well on solar, I've never had to charge any of them after many months of use. They work pretty well with live video, but when I try to play back from the app, it's not a great experience. I bought name brand video rated microSD cards, but the video is always choppy. I can't blame wifi as my live video is not bad, so I think the SD storage is just not good. I am not willing to add yet another subscription service and was really hoping these would suit my needs, but they seem to have maybe gone cheap on the storage processing to try to push you to cloud services. Wifi cameras can be jammed easily now so I like the idea of onboard storage, but between the video quality and the lackluster scrolling/search function in the app, it's a big meh.I didn't use the cloud monitoring, so I can't comment on that. The motion detection is a bit weak (so was Ring!) as they do miss boats going by my dock. I live on a canal so the speed limit is 5MPH max and I've seen boats go by undetected even though I have it set to record all motion. On a positive note, they are easy to set up and the app can notify you of motion. I disable the motion as they do pick up squirrels, palm tree fronds and other irrelevant things even on person detect mode, but that seems to be the case with most wifi cameras.My plan is to run ethernet cable once it cools off a bit in Fall and just use POE network cameras and a big DVR that records everything and lets me scroll it on my laptop if needed. I had a wired setup years ago and it worked great. Wifi is so much easier, but wired is the most reliable.Ver más

Great Home Security Camera

Love this camera! It has been up for 2 weeks and it is working exactly as advertised and the solar panel is keeping the battery charged at 100%. Set up with the app was so easy and the picture quality is superb! The added benefit of local clip storage on a micro sd card is great - no yearly fees required!Ver más
