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

Bought this camera after customer and market review. Very impressed.Making sure to read the instructions the cameras are easy to activate and install. It probably takes longer to charge the unit than it does to activate and install.Instructions are clear and simple to follow. Picture quality is excellent both day and night.Activation needs to be set to your own sensitivity as the cameras appear to monitor easily. Ensure you set as per instruction as if facing a road the camera will pick up vehicles 40 - 50 feet away.If you are considering purchasing this security camera based on my first experience I would thoroughly recommend. You will not be disappointed.

Fantastic camera

Works well, easy, to set up and has good image quality. Tapo hasn't let me down over the years

Excellent quality

I have many indoor Tapo cameras and absolutely love them and this camera is no different. It’s such a great little piece of equipment. The picture quality is great especially in night mode you can see clearly. I have it in my back garden to try deter intruders and keep an eye on my dogs if they are outside. It has great motion detection and seems to be able to tell the difference between a person and animal (however it does not seem to be able to tell the difference at night in the dark). I was testing it with my 2 dogs and myself. It has an alarm feature that it will make a noise if it detects movement in the garden and you can personalise if it’s all movement, a person, an animal or a car. You can set it up so there are flashing lights if it detects movement if you don’t want the alarm sound. It was really easy to mount as is screwed it into my wooden fencing and came with the screws needed. You can also see how much battery life is left on the app. I am very impressed and feel a lot safer with this added security to my home. Just one thing to note that it works off WiFi and even having it right outside my back door it was not reaching the WiFi however I got a WiFi booster plug and plugged it near my back door so the camera works perfectly using the WiFi.

Great camera,good picture quality,well pleased with it.

The Tapo Camera TC82 looks great, and at first, you might think it’s up to the task—but unfortunately, it’s not. Motion detection is unreliable; recordings don’t activate fast enough, often missing the first few seconds, meaning you might only catch someone leaving the scene. Additionally, recordings randomly cut off even when there’s clear movement on camera. Detection is hit or miss—sometimes it misses entirely, while other times, it mistakes a stone on the ground for a person.A major flaw with the TC82 is its poor battery life when used with a Tapo Hub. Despite investing in the Tapo ecosystem, I found the hub rapidly drained the camera’s battery. Support confirmed the hub was constantly sending requests to the camera but couldn’t explain why, and they ultimately gave up. I had to separate my Tapo Hub and TC82 onto different IP ranges to prevent this issue.Warranty support is disappointing. I had to return a camera due to what I assume was rainwater damage, but despite using a tracked service, they claimed they never received the package, making me wait weeks for a replacement. Now, I’m trying to get an RMA for a faulty solar panel, but the support process is painfully slow, with unhelpful emails dragging things out. I dread sending it back, knowing the service will likely be just as bad.I also have privacy concerns after noticing that Tapo devices send data to China and direct to China’s version of Google. I don’t know why, but it makes me question whether choosing the Tapo ecosystem was a smart decision.

Brilliant product.... Easy to install and a good quality security system for cheap
