TP-Link 𝗧𝗮𝗽𝗼 MagCam, 2024 PCMag Editors’ Choice & Wirecutter Recommended Outdoor Security Camera, 2K, Battery, Magnetic Mount Wireless Camera, 150° FOV, SD/Cloud Storage, Person/Vehicle Detection

This is a great camera! I was quite surprised how strong the magnet is. It only took seconds to setup. They give you everything you need to mount it to a wall. If you’re mounting it outside, don’t use the sticker, it will fall off because of the temperature changes and various elements. So drill in the plate with the provided drill guide. Everything installed flawlessly and I adjusted my camera, setup my account and was able to monitor my back patio. There really isn’t any lag, but my internet connection is very good. It’s definitely a steal for the price and quality of the camera. I’m weary of using their cloud storage for security, but it is convenient. I love having this camera because sometimes delivery drivers mistake my back patio for the front door, and I’ve had packages delivered in the past and was convinced they were stolen, then I went outside and saw my Boxes.

I would have given this 5 stars if occasionally it did not go offline. Not sure if that's the camera's fault or my mesh WiFi so I'll have to figure that out.I was not relishing trying to get power to my outdoor cameras. I'm concerned about aesthetics so I didn't want anything ugly providing power and communications. This being WiFi and battery powered filled-the-bill precisely. Besides, I was not looking forward to crawling through the attic and getting down near the eaves. Face in the insulation is not something I can stand. I did not want to, nor could I afford hiring an electrician either.Enter the Tapo camera. The camera looks great when in position and wide field-of-view is a bonus. I appreciate the ability to zoom in on areas of interest. The spotlight feature is really nice when it's dark and there are different levels of brightness you can choose which saves on battery if that's a concern. 2K resolution provides excellent clarity for a camera at this price point. The camera has a built-in speaker, microphone and siren which is nice.I travel often and this gives me piece of mind as I can monitor the property remotely. I also have several home automation devices of the Kasa or Tapo brand and they seamlessly integrate. For example I can turn on specific lights when something is detected by the camera. Whatever you can imagine to automate, you probably can.I provided a separate review on the solar panels I connected so I don't need to recharge the batteries manually. This truly is a wireless solution, and I'm very pleased with the result.
