Strong Magnet, Clear Image, Great Quality with no lag
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.

Totally Awesome
Dude, let me tell you about the **Tapo MagCam security camera**—this thing is *so* rad, it’s like the ultimate lifeguard for your house, but without all the sand in your shorts. Seriously, this camera’s got more features than a sports car and it’s way easier to set up than trying to figure out how to wax your board.First off, the setup is like, *way* chill. You just plug it in, download the app, and BOOM, you’re ready to go. No complicated wiring or frantically reading a manual, man. It’s like catching the perfect wave—smooth and effortless. Just a couple taps on your phone and you’re up and running. It’s almost like magic, but with Wi-Fi.Now, let’s talk about the camera quality, bro—this thing’s got HD resolution, and I’m talkin’ like crystal-clear footage, even in the dark. It’s like the moonlight on a perfect night session—you can see everything. And if some sneaky dude tries to creep around your house, it’ll catch every little movement, like you’re watching a slow-mo replay of a wave crash.And get this—it’s got **motion detection** and will send you alerts if something’s going on. Like, if someone’s walking up to your door, it’s like, “Yo, check this out!”—and then you can see who’s there, all from your phone. No more wondering if the pizza guy’s on time.Plus, the **two-way audio**? Total game changer, man. You can talk to whoever’s outside—whether it’s the mailman, your buddy, or some dude trying to borrow your lawnmower. You just hit the button and be like, “Hey, bro, you’re on camera, so chill out!” It’s like having your own personal intercom, but with more cool vibes.And the best part, man? **It’s magnetic.** You can stick it anywhere. No need to drill or screw anything. Just slap it onto a metal surface and it’s good to go, like plopping your board down on the sand and jumping in the water. Super simple, super chill.In short, the Tapo MagCam is, like, totally the *ultimate* security camera. It’s easy, it’s clear, and it’s packed with all these sweet features that make you feel like you’re living in the future. Plus, it’s totally low-key, you know? Doesn’t freak you out with crazy setup or anything. Just like surfing—relaxed, smooth, and reliable.Totally tubular, man.

Super camera, easy to install, working great
I wanted this camera to install at our front door to watch the front porch, sidewalk and driveway without having to run power wire to the placement. I had this camera up and running very quickly, connected to my wifi and the Tapo app, and the mount installed near the front door with one screw inside 1 hour. We’ve had it up for a little over a month and it’s working great for us. Both the wife and I have the app on our phones and ipads, and we both have set it for alerts when there is “motion” or a “person” detected. There is also a setting for “pet alert” but the motion works for alerting that our dogs are at the door. The picture is very clear, day or night, and the memory (with our own memory card added) works well so we can see who/want has been at our door or sidewalk. I did block out the street so we don’t get an alert for every car that drive by. We’ve had it up about a month and use it a lot and the battery is at 71% so I’d guess we’ll need to take it in to charge about every 3 months, but we use our front door a lot and view it a lot so we are draining the battery quicker than if it was used less. In the spring I will add another to our back porch so we can watch the dogs out back and anyone on our back patio. Highly recommended! I won’t hesitate to recommend this camera to friends.

ComprĂ© la cámara de vigilancia con grandes expectativas de mejorar la seguridad en mi hogar, pero lamentablemente no ha cumplido con su propĂłsito. Aunque inicialmente parecĂa prometedora, descubrĂ que presenta un problema fundamental que la hace casi inutilizable: más del 95% del tiempo, la cámara está fuera de lĂnea, incluso cuando la baterĂa está al 100%.Este inconveniente hace que la cámara pierda toda su funcionalidad básica de vigilancia. A pesar de que el indicador de baterĂa muestra que está completamente cargada, la cámara no se conecta, lo que significa que no graba ni transmite imágenes cuando más la necesito. Este fallo la convierte en un dispositivo totalmente inĂştil para cumplir con el propĂłsito de mantener la seguridad.En resumen, esta cámara no cumple su funciĂłn principal de vigilar. No puedo confiar en ella para proteger mi hogar, ya que constantemente está desconectada, lo que va en contra del propĂłsito para el cual fue diseñada. Considero que no es una inversiĂłn recomendable hasta que se resuelvan estos problemas tĂ©cnicos.

I came here to buy this after it was ranked first in a New York Times review of security cameras. Not only did it finish first it was also the cheapest.This camera replaces a previous cheap model that has since disappeared from Amazon. That experience was maddening. Flakey and limited software, intermittent WIFI signal, constant false notifications.This camera is mounted in the same spot and connected to the WIFI instantly. The software is simple and intuitive to use. The speaker is a little poor quality but I’m using it as driveway surveillance and have no plans on using the speaker.The image is very clear and downloads are simple and flawless. I have yet to figure out how to delete files on the SD card but with a 64 GB card I had kicking around and installed, I really don’t need to worry about. The Activity and Privacy Zones (areas to watch and areas to ignore) work great. I’m able to cut out the front street traffic and identify only movement in the yard and driveway. The microphone is very sensitive.What a wonderful package for such a good price. I’ll likely buy a couple of their solar units for mounting high on trees to watch all my good neighbours out walking their dogs…and the rare punk looking for Ford pickups to steal.One quick picky thing for the manufacturer. Please don’t tighten the screws to the SD card door so tight. It was a struggle to remove even with the perfect sized Phillips screwdriver. Other than that, great product!
