Tapo C400 Smart Wire-Free Outdoor Security Camera | 1080p Full HD, 180-Day Battery, Color Night Vision, IP65
Outdoor security, completely wire-free. The Tapo C400 runs on a built-in 5,200 mAh rechargeable battery that lasts up to 180 days, mounts magnetically in seconds, and delivers 1080p Full HD video with color night vision — no power cables, no hub, no subscription needed for AI person detection.
Up to 180-Day Battery Life
The built-in rechargeable battery keeps the camera running for up to 180 days on a single charge. Optionally pair it with a Tapo solar panel (sold separately) for continuous power with zero maintenance.
100% Wire-Free Magnetic Installation
Snap the camera onto its magnetic mount anywhere — on a wall, under an eave, or on a fence post. No drilling into power lines, no running cables. Reposition it in seconds whenever you need a different angle.
1080p Full HD with Color Night Vision
Sharp 1080p live view during the day and vivid full-color footage at night thanks to built-in white-light LEDs, so you can make out details that standard IR cameras miss.
AI Person Detection — Free, No Subscription
On-device AI distinguishes people from general motion and sends real-time push notifications only when a person is detected. No monthly fees required.
Customisable Activity & Privacy Zones
Draw activity zones around the areas that matter — your front door, driveway, or gate — so you only get alerts for relevant motion. Define privacy zones to block sensitive areas from being recorded or viewed.
Customisable Sound & Light Alarm
Trigger a spotlight and siren (70 dBA) directly from the app to deter intruders. Record a custom audio message to play as a warning.
Two-Way Audio with Noise Cancellation
Built-in mic and speaker let you talk to delivery riders, greet visitors, or warn off strangers in real time.
IP65 Weatherproof
Rain, dust, heat — the C400 is built to handle outdoor conditions year-round, operating from −20 °C to 45 °C.
No Hub Required
Connects directly to your 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi network. No additional hub needed (though it's also compatible with the Tapo H200 and H500 hubs for extended features).
Flexible Storage
Save event recordings locally on a microSD card (up to 512 GB, sold separately) or subscribe to Tapo Care cloud storage for 30-day video history with snapshot notifications.
Works with Your Smart Home
Compatible with Amazon Alexa, Google Assistant, and Samsung SmartThings. View live streams on your Echo Show or Chromecast.
