I recently grabbed the 2K version from Costco.com on a nice sale for just $140 (CA tax included). They come in a pack of 4 with solar panels, which is such a great deal. I charged them once before installing and they've held the charge perfectly. it's been almost 3 months and they're still going strong! The 2K resolution is still super clear, and the solar panels are doing an excellent job. Highly recommend!
I have the MagCam without the solar panel and I like it a lot. The only trouble is it struggles with glass reflections, so if you want to mount it indoors and point it out a window at your yard, it's going to have too much reflection and glare to be useful.
If you want 24 hr continuous recording, solar doesn't give you that option. Just sharing in case someone was looking for that option with tapo cams.
I think these have a faux 24/7 mode by taking snapshots every second. No rtsp/onvif mode though. Expanded storage option with the h500, but the hub is limited to 2.5 hdd.

Motion based 24 hr recording is different to continuous 24 hour recording. I was saying continuous 24 hour recording option isn't there if you buy solar battery Tapo cameras.

In a traditional sense this isn't what you expect for 24/7, but the faux 24/7 is an interesting way to give you something for battery/solar. The recording is not motion based at all, it's a snapshot at a user selected frequency, every 1s/5s/30s etc so gives you a timelapse of that specific day. This is in addition to the 24/7 motion based recording, where it'll record that specific trigger.
