"I reached out to "Glen" on the customer support team. He is very helpful in getting my info to help me filing a troubleshooting ticket with my Tapo camera. My camera currently doesn't charge nor turn on. I'll wait for the RMA team to reach out."
"Everything seems to be working great! Very easy setup! Great price I am pleased with the product"
"Great camera and little solar panel. Super easy to connect to wifi. Only downside is the cheap screws that strip even in predrilled holes."
"I love it my other one would not come on I even charged it I think it didn't get enough sun.i reposition this one one and it comes up beautiful. Highly recommened"
"Awesome cameras have been using them for the last past 3 months"
"Awesome product and app"
"I've only had this camera for a short time (I received it: 18 January 2026) and completed installing it (second iteration) yesterday (20 January 2026). . . The first install wasn't that difficult, even though I upgraded the first mounting so the solar panel is easier to adjust and has full access to the sun. . . So far, the camera lives up to its claims and the images/videos are sharp and clear compared to another brand of security camera I am using; I will probably replace those with this TAPO style of camera down the road. . . So far, the solar panel is keeping the battery charged. . . ! I do recommend this SolarCam style of security camera. . . !"
"TP-Link honored their warranty replacement policy and Glenn from chat helped me with that"
"It does it's job very well. I'm pleased with it and plan to get indoor units of the same brand"
"It works"
