Whether you want a security camera for keeping an eye on your home when you’re away or checking on unusual activity from the comfort of your bedroom, one thing is true: it’s better to be safe than sorry—and now’s a great chance to jump on one because the TP-Link Tapo SolarCam C402 kit is only $40. That’s 29% off its original price.
This outdoor home security camera comes with its own solar panel base, which means you won’t have to worry about wiring it up to power. And since it wirelessly connects to your Wi-Fi network, it doesn’t need internet cables either. Just make sure it’s within range of your router.
Video quality is fine with 1080p images and color night vision at up to 30 feet. You’ll get notifications to your phone when people and vehicles are detected, and that’s without a paid subscription. (Some competitors put features like that behind a paywall.) But if you want to store footage in the cloud, you will need a subscription. (Alternatively, you can just plug in a 512GB microSD card and store your recordings locally.)
Other highlights include two-way audio (so you can listen in to what’s happening outside your house and even chat with visitors) as well as support for Amazon Alexa and Google Home (so you can control it with hands-free voice and other compatible smart home devices).
It’s simple but practical, and now even more affordable because it’s on sale. If you want a hassle-free solar-powered security camera, it’s hard to find one better at this price. Grab the Tapo SolarCam C402 kit for $40 before this limited-time deal expires!
