These days, securing your home is easier than ever because cameras are easier to install and more affordable than in years past. For example, the Tapo SolarCam C402 is only $40 on Amazon right now, a stark 33% discount off its MSRP—and this thing has a built-in solar panel that keeps it charged with sunlight. No wires, no battery, hassle-free!

At this price, it’s a no-brainer of a deal as this security camera checks all the boxes you could want. Again, it’s wireless, it’s solar-powered, and it lets you pick between cloud or local storage with a microSD card (up to 512GB in size). And again, it’s easy to install! Mount it on a wall with 6 screws and anchors (included) and you’re good to go.

The solar panel is the real star of the show here, requiring only 45 minutes of sunlight per day to stay fully charged. When fully charged, the internal battery can last up to a whopping 180 days. And what’s really cool is that it comes with a 13-foot cable that lets you separate the solar panel from the camera itself, allowing you to position it exactly where it needs to be for optimal performance.

As for video, the Tapo C402 captures 1080p footage and sends you notifications whenever it detects anything. You can fiddle with the Tapo app to enable person, vehicle, and pet detection. If you install a microSD card, you won’t have to pay for cloud storage. Other features include two-way audio so you can remotely chat to whoever’s at your camera (e.g., guests or delivery persons), color night vision up to 30 feet away, and a siren for scaring away potential intruders.

When our friends at TechHive reviewed this camera, they gave it a 4-star rating and appreciated its solar-powered design, free smart detection features, and its ease of installation. Get the Tapo SolarCam C402 while it’s still just $40 because it’s worth every penny at this price!
