"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"
"Easy to install and connect to my system."
"Good product/ works well."
"Very Happy with the cameras. Was a bit skeptical with these cameras as I was with others I bought, but these cameras hit it out of the park. Connections is great so far not having to reconnect or going offline. Video is excellent, clear a crisp even at night. Everything I hoped for and more. Not hard to set up or figure out. Work nice with Alexa. Very pleased probably going to purchase some other items from TP Links that I have my eye on. Thank You"
"The cameras were relatively easy to set up. I have a TP-link mesh WiFi system and once I found out I needed to setup the cameras using that application, it went well. The cameras have great picture quality. I know that you puss the Cloud subscription, but I want to just keep it local with micro SD cards. That adds another $150. 00 to my cost. Which I haven't spent yet. So, I don't have any record of the activity. So I rate the 3 camera deal and 8 out of 10. Love the solar charging."
