Hey guys! Just added this awesome security cam system to my home. If you’re looking to add some wire-free cams, the Tapo MagCam is a fantastic option! Been rocking it for about a month already 🤩
I've just started looking into Tapo cams and noticed that the C420 seems to maybe be a better option than the C425. With the C420 you get a hub which has the SD card in it, so no way for someone to steal the footage without breaking into the house (and they'd have to locate the hub). The battery is also removable/swappable, so you can reduce downtime. The only upside to the C425 seems to be a larger capacity but non-removeable battery and significantly wider field of view (150 vs 113). I like the hub of the C420 but the wider FOV of the C425...
Just saw this video. I have been using Microseven cameras for about 5 years and I got so fed up with them that I had to get a replacement. Just for the record, Microseven cameras are absolute junk and their customer service is even worse. As I said, I have been using them for about 5 or 6 years and know what I am doing with them. Anyway, I bought the TP Link cameras and I think they are pretty awesome. I with the USB had a metal/plastic door instead of a rubber tab, but everything meshes well and I have no had any camera not respond when I login with my iPhone. One thing I dont like is that you must use your phone for the app, as they do not make one for the PC. Image quality is VERY good!! I now have 5 cameras and am ordering 3 more.
Can you turn the camera off with the app (the camera will be mounted up out of reach)? I want to use this for trespasser recording at our remote campsite, but don't want to burn thru battery time while we are actually there.
you can turn privacy mode on and the camera wont turn on. but to turn it off completely you have to hold the power button on the camera as for as i know.
This product, has 11,784 reviews on Amazon (as of 11/14/2024). Those who paid their hard-earned money, and who were not sent the camera for free, have a slightly different perspective. A full 9% of these reviews are 1-star, a high number for any product. I urge anyone watching this review to check other sources of information before deciding if this is the security cam for you. I’m still in the research stage, but have decided to pass on this one for now…
Well, when somebody steal the camera, all your recording are gone... Not the smartest way. It's basically not the security cams purpose - to be stolen with evidence 😂
i wasnt real impressed with this camera. i own this camera, c120 and c325wb. for the money you cant beat the c120. the c425 does not look as good as the c120. maybe i got a dud. i bought the c425 kit with the solar panel and have it in my backyard where its completely dark and mounted about 10ft off the ground and it shows a spotlight on the ground where the ir is shining. so you cant see the whole 150 degrees at night not even close. the colors or picture definitely dont look as good as the c120 or the c325wb.
Don’t waste your money , Worst camera ever , it does not detect movement beyond a few meters , maybe it could detect an elephant in your yard but not something smaller , I placed the camera in my yard and had intruders and it did not detect ANYTHING , the intruders were about 5 meters from the camera , my old blinks would have seen it right away
@@predatorishi I think this is one of the dumbest comments I've ever read...if I had filmed the intruders I probably would have provided the images to the police along with the report I filed

Why don't I get alerts when I'm away from home ?!
Wish there was an option to upload to onedrive etc etc

There is a update upcoming that will support the C425 connect to the H200 hub.

so there's nothing stopping someone from just taking it?

That's why you Link up to the cloud

Very basic review
No usb C ??? c'mon year 2024 and solar panel has usb C cable on 😂😂😂

Take a breath! LOL
I wish you would have spent more time on how to set it up. Good vid though.

😂 ok
The question is even if you would have detected “intruders” you wouldn’t do shit. 🤣🤡. So stop complaining and stop using cameras, problem solved.

So, it would work good in a Z🐘🦒🦏
@@TADDs101 Exactly! But only in the area of large animals
