Snag this solar-powered wireless security cam for just $40 while you can

What’s kept you from installing security cameras around your home? The hassle of electrical work and getting it wired up? Or the constant need to take down and recharge battery-operated ones? Or the exorbitant prices that some brands demand? I get it. Security cameras aren’t easy… unless you get something like the Tapo SolarCam C403 for $40 on Amazon.

The C403 is uber-convenient for two reasons: first, it’s mountable anywhere using screws, and second, it comes with a solar panel that keeps its battery charged with just 45 minutes of sunlight daily. Once mounted, just connect to it via the mobile app and add it to your wireless network. Then, check in on the remote video feed whenever you want. It has color night vision, it’s IP66 weather resistant, and it has two-way audio so you can speak with anyone within range.

We reviewed the very similar C402 earlier this year and found it deserving of a 4-star rating, with our expert noting just how great the solar-powered design is because it eliminates the need for frequent battery swaps or paying experts to handle any initial wiring setup. “[It’s] a good choice for anyone seeking a low-maintenance outdoor security solution,” reads the review, and that’s true if you’re content with 1080p video. (To be fair, you can’t exactly expect 4K video at this low of a price point.)

The C403 offers both local and cloud storage, although the latter requires a paid subscription. Still, you can just slot a 512GB microSD card directly into the camera and store all your footage locally.

And there you go. If you need an easy-to-install solar-powered outdoor security camera with HD video and minimal upkeep, you can’t go wrong with this $40 Tapo SolarCam C403 kit. Get it now while it’s on sale because this limited-time deal won’t last forever!
