Great Camera, atleast $200+ for a single one of these. Need to add coupon to get price in title.

  • Their basic cloud plan seems to be free and looks good enough to use too:

      When I log in, the basic plan is not available (for NZ). And looking at the pricing list, for countries where it is available it is not free.

      • I don't have an account yet but did you get this fiixed to get the free Basic subs?

      • Same - in my tapo app the basic plan is paid and not cheap either. For a single camera it's $4.79 a month. My cameras are c110.

        Either their website is out of date or only certain products are eligible for a free plan.

  • I've had the Tapo C120 for a few months - IMO this is a good option if you prefer hardwired over battery (like the C425).

  • Will this work without the hub ? I see the C420s with a hub .. do they work differently ?

    • Correct, you don't need a hub for these ones.

  • Any idea why its coming to $132 NZD/ 80USD including shipping?

    • On the product page there's an apply $10 (USD) coupon you need to select then it'll apply the discount at checkout and it'll come down to $112

      • Thanks, could I please ask if you know the warranty will be the same buying from Amazon vs Noel Leeming? I see the double pack is for $332 at NL

  • I have this exact model along with the c110 for indoor. The whole Tapo range is extremely under-appreciated, especially for its price tag.
    The c425 battery is as good they state. Last charged mine at the end of March so have gone 3 months with around 5-10 triggers per day and currently down to 58%. Great image quality too. One of the few camera lines with offline SD card storage options too.
    Their lightbulbs are also significantly cheaper than philips as well and use the same app

    • Without buying an sd card will it work ? i.e does it come with any inbuilt memory?

      • You'll still need a micro SD card as there's no built in memory, but they're cheap as chips now

    I'm so interested.. Does anyone know if these can integrate with Apple Homekit/iCloud storage?

    TP-Link's page here only shows badges for Google Home, Alexa & TapoCare:

    Yet on this separate article they claim Tapo cameras work with Homekit:

    TIA!

    • Homebridge will make it work. Got it working for me

    Without buying an sd card will it work ? i.e does it come with any inbuilt memory?

    • Will work but won't record, you can pay for cloud storage instead of using SD (and you get first month free) but why would you do that?

  • +1

    Great find, such an awesome deal! I've got 3 of these already and will be getting some more!

  • I’ve never had a security cam but thinking I’ll get this one. Am I correct in assuming if I’m only recording to the sd card and not using the cloud that if an intruder steals the cam I’ll have no record of it?

    • yes, hence $5.99 a month is a good value

  • Is it usual for Amazon to ship with non-NZ power adapter?

    • +1

      As you've ordered from Amazon US, yes. It would've only come with a NZ/AU power adapter if you ordered from Amazon AU.

      It's just a 5V/2A USB power adapter right?

  • Wow, this is my first cam and blown away by how easy it was to set up and looks very good!
    1. Currently using MicroSD card (256gb). This is only to store when movement detected or is it always recording?
    2. If it detects someone and records onto the sd card, but the person decides to damage or steal the camera(along with the sd card), would I still be able to 'view/access' the recording?
    3. Basically trying to understand if there is any need to pay $6/month for 1month plan for TapoCare.

    I've set to 2k and 25fps settings and see how long the battery lasts!
    Only reason to upgrade would be if the FOV be slightly wider angle but its already fairly good.

      • Ah okay. So if someone does steal it, its gone including the footage :(
        Just gauging some opinion, what is the likelihood of someone attempting to steal a security camera? I'm new to the security camera world and happy to go with what is recommended.

        • If you're really quick you may be able to record and download the theft from SD card to smartphone.

          You could make it more difficult or less likely by locating the camera out of reach or less accessible and using the camera's built-in siren and light alarms.

          • @Peter Wyngarde: Cool, so the camera is slightly out of reach by hands unless they are super tall.
            Now I'm seriously thinking if there is a business case for the premium cloud plan!
