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

The media could not be loaded. We purchased this Tapo camera to compliment our existing Tapo security and home automation devices; I wanted to minimise the amount of apps I’m using for all the various tech in our house and handily all of our Tapo smart plugs and cameras use one very intuitive and simple app.Installation and setup is very good. Quality wall fixings are provided, the plugs arent Fischer quality but are fine for use in mortar or brick and the screws are stainless and shouldn’t rust, no sticky fitting is provided should you not wish to screw the wall to a surface. The camera connected first time to our mesh home network and its signal hasn’t ever stopped despite being positioned past two thick brick walls. The picture quality is very good, however at a distance of over 5 metres away it would be very difficult to make out clear facial detail, when the camera does recognise a human a handy green light on the face of the camera illuminates, the motion detection is also excellent; ours picks up motion up to 8 metres away, please note that the sensitivity is proximity based so I’d recommend setting up zones and notifications based on your preferences so your device isn’t constantly pinging notifications (which drains the battery life faster). We’ve had ours up for around a week with 5-10 notifications a day and the battery is on 89%. I’ve opted to fit a micro SD card rather than purchase Tapo care as the camera isn’t in a location where it’s in danger of theft. If local storage isn’t an option for you bear in mind that Tapo’s cloud storage plan is £24.99 a year per camera.Overall we are very happy with this Tapo product and would purchase another.

Great camera, easy to install, great picture quality and sound. Highly recommend.

Another value for money camera. Needed one for watching my door for parcel theft. Its smart, records only after detecting motion, can set monitoring zones and adjust sensitivity to record only the most important events. For the price I got it for on a Black Friday deals, I'll surely buy a few more. The recording quality in both modes is decent, 2k, or set it to auto if you're using the cloud for storage.I've had it for 2 weeks now and it's on 85% battery despite me spending loads of time connected to it exploring different functionality. I'm sure the battery would last even longer. Highly recommend this if you want a camera that gets the job done without too many gimmicks.Only drawback is you're limited to use TP Link's cloud storage only if you need the cloud, but it's not so bad.The app is easy to use as well. 4 stars for a great camera, lost one star because I'd have loved to be able to save footage to one drive or Google drive.

I bought the Tapo TC82 2K Battery Security Camera on Amazon for outdoor use, and I’m genuinely impressed by how well it performs. Setup was quick and easy via the Tapo app, and it connected to my Wi-Fi without a hitch. The picture quality is excellent — the 2K resolution is sharp and detailed both in daylight and at night.The colour night vision is a real highlight. Unlike grainy black-and-white footage on cheaper models, this camera gives you full-colour visibility even in low light. It’s incredibly helpful for identifying people or vehicles at night.Another big plus is the AI detection — it can distinguish between people, animals, and cars, which helps reduce false alerts. You can customise activity zones too, so you’re not constantly getting notified about every passing cat or leaf blowing by.The 180-day battery life is a game changer. I’ve been using it for several weeks now, and the battery is still going strong. No wires, no hassle, and perfect for locations where power sockets aren’t available.It also integrates smoothly with Alexa and Google Assistant, allowing for voice commands or viewing live feeds on smart displays. And best of all: no monthly fees. You can use a microSD card or even Tapo’s free cloud storage option if you catch the occasional promotions.Build quality feels solid and weatherproof — the IP65 rating gives confidence that it’ll stand up to UK weather.Pros:Crystal clear 2K videoColour night visionSmart AI motion detectionLong battery lifeWeatherproof and wirelessNo monthly subscription requiredCons:MicroSD card not included (buy one separately)Needs good Wi-Fi signal for smooth streamingOverall, the Tapo TC82 is one of the best value wireless security cameras on the market — highly recommended for both indoor and outdoor use!

Superb camera. Night vision could be better but brilliant video and audio during the day. Still at 95% charge after 3 1/2 weeks!Easy to install and set up - great product.

Great camera. I’ve had it installed for around a month now, been through all types of weather, picks up and alerts, good quality picture and sound. Battery is showing 93% after more than 4 weeks. Excellent and simple to install

Absolutely fantastic camera. Had a couple of issues setting it up initially but a lovely helpful lady, Journee talked me through. She was so patient and understanding, thank you Journee. Everything is working well and capturing any movement outside which is sent to my phone. Pictures and sounds are very clear. I purchased an SD card separately which was recommended by another user. All round great camera. I would highly recommend
