Good camera for the price.
It's a very good camera. Resolution and night vision is very clear. Easy to mount. Set up was easy. I'm only having a little issue with setting light to come on with night time detection.

Disappointed
Had the camera 3 weeks now. The battery is down to 50% and privacy mode has been selected for 12 hours a day, we live in a quiet area so very few recordings. The battery will not last 30 days without having to be charged if left on for 24hrs. The recordings are hit and miss i know this because i have a ring door bell which shows more activity than the Tapo. I only needed the camera to monitor a works van so if you need this for outside house security i wouldn't recommend this camera.

Not very happy.
Very unhappy with this product. It only picks up a person when walking across the frame, it completely misses when walking at about 45 degrees to frame. Battery drains faster than anticipated. I have mine fitted under the eaves of a bungalow and could easily be stolen, especially with the magnetic attachment.

Hi,
For optimal detection performance, we recommend mounting
the camera 7-10 ft (2-3 m) above the ground.
Based on this, you can view the camera's shooting range at the following link:

Thanks for using Q&A.
You can get black covers I have bought in black as I dont want this camera to be so noticeable to my neighbours. Check amazon

Hello Fred,
I can advise that you screw the bracket of the Tapo C460 4K Smart Battery Outdoor Wi-Fi Security Camera to the wall then the camera is held magnetically to the base.
Thanks for using Q&A
Hi,
Unfortunately, we do not provide screw brackets for Tapo C460. You can purchase them based on the dimensions.

Hi Sharona,
SD card is needed when you required local recording storage. Tapo C460 supports up to 512 GB SD card.
Here are some helpful tips when selecting a suitable SD card for your reference: https://www.tp-link.com/support/faq/3048/...
Thanks for using Q&A.
Hello Jodashan.
After contacting our suppliers they have advised for the Tapo C460 4K Smart Battery Outdoor Wi-Fi Security Camera.
The TP-Link Tapo C460 comes with a 10,000 mAh rechargeable battery, which in TP‑Link’s own lab tests lasts up to 200 days on a full charge, assuming around 270 seconds of usage per day (live viewing + recording)
You can consider adding our Tapo solar panel option A201 model which can improve the usage and extend another 2-3 months to the battery life of the camera model.
Thank you for using Q&A.
Hello Julesk,
After checking with our supplier, they have advised for the TP-Link Tapo C460 4K Smart Wi-Fi CCTV Security Camera: ''Yes, once your Tapo C460 is mounted on an outside wall, you can change its viewing angle—but only manually by rotating the camera on its magnetic base. There’s no automatic pan/tilt motor or remote rotation built in.''
Thank you for using Q and A.
Yup
Hi Branny,
SD card is not included in the package. You will need to purchase it seperately.
There is no monthly charge for camera if you never subscribed a Tapo Care service.

Thanks for using Q&A.
It has been updated and now supports 24,7 recording
Although the battery will obviously take a hit id suggest getting the camera with the included solar panel and even then itll struggle on overcast days
Hi Plantonholiday,
Currently Tapo C460 can only records when motion is detected.
Thanks for using Q&A.
Hi Plsdeluno,
Here are some mounting tips for your reference:
1. Avoid placing behind glass. Glass will obstruct the motion sensor of your camera.
2. Choose a proper location to mount your camera, or it will be triggered too often by false alarms.
• Avoid pointing the camera directly at swaying trees.
• Avoid pointing the camera directly at vehicles and pedestrians on the road.
• Avoid pointing the camera directly at street lamps and sunlight.
3. Mount your camera to the side so that movement goes across the len’s field of view to better trigger motion detection and AI detection
4. Tilt the camera downwards at an angle of about 15°
5. Do not place the camera upside down.
Thanks for using Q&A.
