T—Link Tapo C425

By Michael
Rated 4 out of 5
Date: 2026-08-05

These wireless cameras are a great value. I did not believe that the internal rechargeable batteries would last months, but they so. I take them down to recharge once every three months., though I do have them in areas with minimal traffic. Also, they reset quickly and automatically after an internet outage. Image quality is very good.

Great driveway camera

I have 2 other tapo cameras so I knew what I was getting. Great pic, like the types of setting do get the camera the way you want like sensitive adjustments. Also like you don't have to have the subscription.

Can the camera be connected to the AC charger full time?
Asked by: Michael
Hi Michael, Yes, the charger can be connected full-time. Please note, however, that the included power adapter/charger and its connector are not weatherproof. So, if you plan to use the camera outdoors, the camera, charger, and connector need to be sheltered from the elements. Alternatively, you may want to consider our Tapo Solar Panel, which is designed to charge the camera using solar power and is equipped with weatherproofing elements.

Does this unit require a hob? And/or can it be added to a system which utilises two Taps 420S2's?
Asked by: Carina
The TP-Link Tapo C425 Smart Wire-Free Security Camera only requires that you have Wi-Fi 2.4ghz to connect to when using the Tapo App. The camera does not require a HUB to operate in your home. Also since this is a Tapo camera it can be added to an existing set of Tapo cameras so you can view all of them in the Tapo App.
