Product Details

The Tapo C425 MagCam offers wire-free security with a magnetic base that attaches instantly to metal surfaces. With 300-day battery life and 2K QHD resolution, this 2-pack provides reliable two-location monitoring with effortless angle adjustments and battery access.

Product Highlights
  • Magnetic Installation with Flexible Mounting: The magnetic base attaches instantly to metal surfaces. For non-metal surfaces, use the included metal plate and mounting hardware. Once installed, adjust camera angles anytime by simply detaching and repositioning without tools. 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi required.
  • Up to 300-Day Exceptional Battery Life: The 10,000mAh battery provides up to 10 months of continuous performance on a single charge. This extended operation means most users only need to recharge twice per year.
  • Complete 2-Pack Coverage: Monitor two locations simultaneously with magnetic installation at both positions. Secure your front entrance and backyard with extended battery life and straightforward setup at each spot.
  • 2K QHD Resolution with 150° Super-Wide View: Crystal-clear 2560x1440 pixel resolution provides 1.7x more pixels than standard 1080p cameras, while the super-wide 150° field of view expands coverage to monitor entire driveways, yards, or fence lines from a single camera position.
  • Color Night Vision with Starlight Sensor: Built-in spotlights and starlight sensor technology reveal full-color images in low-light conditions, enabling color identification of clothing, vehicles, and objects. This provides superior detail compared to black-and-white infrared for accurate identification.
  • Free AI Detection with Activity Zones: On-device technology identifies people, pets, and vehicles to reduce false alerts from shadows or wind-blown objects. Customize detection zones to focus on specific areas like doorways or gates while ignoring irrelevant zones.
  • Renter-Friendly Magnetic Hold: The strong magnetic connection secures the camera through outdoor conditions while allowing easy removal for battery charging or seasonal relocation. Perfect for renters who need reliable security without permanent installation damage.
  • IP66 Weather-Resistant Protection: Water-resistant and dustproof construction withstands rain, snow, heat, and dust for dependable outdoor monitoring in any season.
  • Firmware Updates: For best performance, check the Tapo app regularly to keep your camera's firmware up to date.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions about this product

How does the magnetic base work for mounting?

The magnetic base attaches securely to metal surfaces like eaves, poles, and railings. For non-metal surfaces like wood or vinyl, install the included metal plate with the provided mounting hardware first, then attach the magnetic base. Once mounted, the camera connects and disconnects from the base instantly.
Can I adjust the camera angle after installation?

Yes. Reposition to your preferred angle in seconds, without removing the camera from the magnetic base. No tools are needed for angle adjustments once the base is installed.
How long does 300 days of battery actually last?

The battery supports up to 300 days of operation from a single charge under typical use. Actual battery life depends on recording frequency, activity levels, and temperature, but many users only recharge twice throughout the year.
Does the magnetic mount work on all surfaces?

The magnetic mount works directly on metal surfaces (steel, iron, ferrous materials). For non-metal surfaces like wood, brick, or vinyl, use the included metal plate with 3M adhesive or mounting screws.
What is included in the 2-pack versus single unit?

Each camera includes a complete mounting kit: magnetic base, mounting hardware, metal plate, 3M adhesive, USB adapter, cable, and template. You receive everything needed for two independent installations.
Can I add solar panels later if needed?

Yes. The Tapo C425 works with the Tapo A200 solar panel (sold separately), which you can add anytime to maintain continuous power and eliminate battery recharging.
How does 2K resolution compare to standard 1080p cameras?

2K QHD resolution (2560x1440 pixels) captures significantly more detail than standard 1080p, making it easier to identify faces, license plates, and objects in your footage.
Will the magnet hold securely in high winds?

The magnetic base provides strong holding power designed for outdoor conditions. The IP66 weather-resistant construction ensures reliable operation through various weather exposures.
Does color night vision work without external lights?

The starlight sensor captures available ambient light for color images in low-light conditions. In complete darkness, four built-in spotlights automatically activate to provide illumination for full-color night vision.

Reviews

TC85 Same as C425

"I bought a TC85 3pk from Best Buy. They're virtually identical to the C425. (Different model # for the retailer). The cameras work great. No wires makes them super easy to install. Set up was easy and the record quality is great. Add a micro SD or buy a hub for record capabilities. Batteries hold up well for now. Will add solar panels for charging at some point. They get the job done (hopefully, as advertised) without any uploads to a cloud."

— Bloodstripe (5/5)

Great to install with voice

"Great to install with voice response during installation with the app."

— Lars F. (5/5)

Great cameras

"After researching Tapo cameras for my Florida backyard, I chose the Tapo C425 2K camera & an A200 solar panel, & had to mount everything on the gutters. COA rules, no boring holes in outside walls. Everything worked well, & I’m using an SD micro card instead of iCloud service. I'm also impressed/satisfied with the Tapo customer service/responses. They have an exceptional team! My grandson & I were hoping to observe some coyotes, bobcats, &, yes, even a Florida panther that occasionally wanders into the development. My only wish would be to be able to delete any video from the Tapo C425 camera’s micro SD card by using my phone, & not having to physically remove the SD card from the camera to do that. If the Tapo team were to incorporate that feature, it would undoubtedly enhance the product’s already great capabilities/features."

— Doug (5/5)

the best motion-detecting camera I've every seen!

"I bought this one because no subscription is required. This camera alerts me EVERY time there is movement and/or person or pet in the very wide range it can see. It is so sensitive, I had to use the app to block off a rectangle in the monitored area so it doesn't see movement in areas where we were triggering it too often. I wish my doorbell/lock camera were as sensitive. Seeing the recorded videos is fast and easy. (I put the SD card from an old, ineffective camera in it. ) I have set up two magnetic plates so that I can move this camera when I need to use it indoors temporarily. Wireless makes for easy setup. Battery lasts many months even when triggered several times a day."

— Nancy W. (5/5)

"Video quality isn't as good as other Tapo camers I've purchased but still serviceable. Additionally, love the strength of the magnet mount & magnet w/in the camera. Will hold up against practically anything!"

— Date (4/5)

Haven't had these cameras a

"Haven't had these cameras a week, and one of them already went bad, i already filed a warranty claim but nothing has happened yet, i haven't received any updates or emails text from support to let me know the status."

Former Arlo user. I ordered

"Former Arlo user. I ordered a couple Tapo camera's from Amazon. I really like this version, so I ordered a 3pack. I like the versatility of being able to put it anywhere!! It has all kinds of options and the app does too. I have a lot of Tp Link products. I'm hoping a great sale is coming so I can get some more camera's."

— Deborah R. (5/5)

"Compared to my other cameras (Dzees (:() and Zummimall, the picture quality and view area are superb. I like it so much I bought another to replace Dzees."

— Lori (5/5)

Junk! Do Not Buy this one!

"JUNK! Do not buy this one, it is junk. Will not set up due to it constantly saying: password incorrect. For wifi this one do not buy. Also, customer service tech will call you but will not solve your issue and promise to call back and fix it but will not, the tech people don't even speak English."

— William P. (1/5)

"Like my camera great quality."
