FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions about this product

How long does the battery last on the Tapo C460 MagCam?

The 10,000mAh rechargeable battery provides up to 200 days of continuous monitoring on a single charge. Actual battery life varies depending on usage, settings, and environmental conditions. You'll receive low-battery alerts through the Tapo app to ensure uninterrupted security coverage.
Does the Tapo C460 require a subscription for AI detection or storage?

No subscription is required. The MagCam includes free AI-powered detection for people, vehicles, and pets, plus local storage via microSD card (up to 512GB, sold separately). Optional Tapo Care cloud storage provides additional features like extended video history and smart notifications.
How does the magnetic mount work, and what surfaces can I use?

The built-in magnetic base securely attaches to any metal surface instantly—no tools or drilling required. For non-metal surfaces, use the included wall mounting hardware. This flexibility makes it perfect for temporary setups, seasonal monitoring, or rental properties.
What is the difference between 4K and 1080p security cameras?

4K cameras capture 4X more detail than 1080p cameras, providing sharper images for identifying faces, reading license plates, or seeing fine details. The C460's Edge Improvement algorithm further enhances sharpness, making text and facial features even clearer in recordings.
Can the Tapo C460 connect to both 2.4GHz and 5GHz Wi-Fi?

Yes, the dual-band connectivity supports both 2.4GHz and 5GHz networks. Use 5GHz for faster performance when the camera is close to your router, or 2.4GHz for extended range when monitoring remote areas of your property.
How do I recharge the battery on the MagCam?

Simply remove the camera from its mount and charge using the included USB cable. The rechargeable lithium-ion battery fully charges in hours and provides months of operation. For continuous power, pair with the optional Tapo A201 solar panel (sold separately).
Does the camera record continuously or only when motion is detected?

The C460 uses motion-triggered recording to maximize battery life, automatically starting recording when movement is detected. This efficient approach extends the 200-day battery performance while ensuring you capture all important activity.
How does color night vision work on this battery-powered camera?

The starlight sensor captures available light for color nighttime footage, while built-in spotlights automatically activate when motion is detected to provide full-color video. You can choose between infrared black-and-white mode for extended battery life or color mode for enhanced detail.
Is the Tapo C460 truly weatherproof for outdoor use?

Yes, the IP66 weatherproof rating ensures reliable operation in rain, snow, dust, and extreme temperatures. The durable construction is built specifically for year-round outdoor monitoring, from harsh winter storms to scorching summer heat.
