Does the Tapo C425 record 24/7?

No. It is battery-powered and records on motion events, not continuously. Continuous recording needs a wired camera or constant power.

Does it need a subscription?

No subscription is required. You can store clips on a microSD card in the camera or use Tapo Care cloud storage if you want it.

Yes, it is IP66 rated, so it handles rain and dust outdoors. It is not designed for submersion.

Does it work with Alexa and Google?

Yes. You can view the live feed on Echo Show and Google Nest displays and use voice commands.

Each camera comes with its magnetic mount and mounting hardware. The 4-pack gives you four cameras and four mounts; a microSD card is not included.

How is it different from the C420?

The C425 adds the magnetic mount, a spotlight and a siren, and steps up to 2K resolution. The C420 is a simpler 2K camera without those extras.

About the TP-Link Tapo C425 MagCam 4-Pack Wireless Smart Home Security Camera

The Tapo C425 MagCam is a battery-powered 2K QHD security camera with a magnetic base, so it mounts and repositions without tools. It adds a built-in spotlight, a 94 dB siren, two-way audio and IP66 weather resistance, and it runs on 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi only. It suits renters and homeowners who want wire-free cameras on walls, ceilings or a shelf and are willing to trade continuous recording for battery life. Against wired rivals it gives up always-on recording and 5 GHz Wi-Fi, but it matches their resolution and beats many on mounting flexibility.
