5.0 out of 5 stars Much better than expected

Update after a week of use: Still going strong. The person detect and vehicle detect trigger recording reliably about 95% of the time. More good news - the Android app runs on a laptop PC through Bluestacks so you can use a Windows PC to control and view the camera. One odd thing was that the recorded videos disappeared briefly when viewing with a PC but later returned. They always showed up on an android phone so they were always there. Finally, the solar charging feature and some of the other advanced battery use monitoring features turned out to be beta versions that appear but don't work yet. All in all, still a great camera.Hardware: The camera is sensitive and the image sharp. The method for sealing the solar panel cable to the camera is just a rubber boot which looks like one day it will leak. The camera can illuminate night scenes with IR for a B&W picture or with white light for a color picture. Incredibly, all of the mounting hardware is high qualitystainless steel which is quite unusual for such a product.The App: A little quirky but very much full featured. By quirky I mean, for example, having the delete option for video clips located under the category "downloads" which makes no sense. By full featured I mean that it offers a lot of useful tools such as an amazing battery monitor that includes current state as well as graphical displays of battery usage by day and solar charging by day. Another useful feature lets you define the areas of the scene to which the detection (recording) algorithm will apply. You can also set the time of day window during which recording can occur. It can be set to only record if people or vehicles are detected. Most of the features are local and do not require any kind of monthly fee. Only had it running for a couple of days but so far it looks like a great product for the money.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent 4K solar camera

I’m extremely impressed with this Tapo MagCam 4K Solar camera. The 4K image quality is very sharp in both daytime and night conditions. Detection has been accurate for person/vehicle events, and notifications come through reliably without being overly annoying, even while on the basic free plan.Battery life has been excellent, and with the solar panel it stays topped up and feels truly set-and-forget once installed. Setup was straightforward, the app is easy to use.I also connected it to the H500 Home base and it works incredibly well.Overall, this is a high-quality outdoor camera with strong performance, great battery/solar charging, and clear video. Highly recommended and is worth the money!

This is a definitely best investment. Camera records very good. Quality of the picture is neat. It has a very good night vision. Wifi works perfectly fine with it. Is very easy to assemble. And it keeps charged by the sun. Battery life is good.

Good value and pretty good images

Para uso en zonas de bajo tránsito.

Buena calidad cumplen lo que dicen, tengo dos cámaras de este tipo pero han dado un rendimiento muy diferente una está instalada con su panel solar en zona con mucho tránsito y está ha estado consumiendo mucha batería debido a la gran cantidad de notificaciones de hecho en la aplicación aparece una aviso relacionado a esto por lo que tuve que ajustar la configuración buscan reducir el bajo consumo de energía. La segunda camara está única en un pasillo de un edificio y solo alimentada por su batería 🔋y en una semana solo ha bajado al 96% mientras que la primera bajo de 100% al 80 y tantos porciento en un solo un día de funcionamiento, lo que nos indica que estás cámaras son para instalarse en zonas con bajo tránsito.

5.0 out of 5 stars Fantastic for the price point

Nice camera. Easy setup as I am already using the app for a wired camera previously installed. Picks up my wi fi outside, through the trees 50 yards from the house no trouble. Clear recordings and battery has stayed at 100% for going on 4 days with no sunshine. In -10 to 35 degree temps. So far working great. We'll reassess in 6 months or so. I am definitely planning on buying a few more in the near future.
