Tapo TP-Link Smart Video Doorbell Camera with Chime, Battery or Wired, 2K QHD Color Night Vison, 180° Ultra-Wide Head-to-Toe View, Ring Call, Smart AI Detection, 2-Way Audio, Up to 512 GB SD, D225

I am so happy with this item. I was given another doorbell previously that I was advised was "police grade". Whilst the image was clear, the connection often failed and I'd have to unlink it from the app I was using and relink. This happened at least twice a week. I live in an area with high foot traffic, and the prior bell and app didnt do anything special to signify someone was calling vs someone just walking past. The Tapo has been brilliant so far. If any issues, I will update. But here are all the pros: -Battery life has been much better than the prior doorbell I was using. -Time it takes to charge battery to fill is much less than the prior one - I can take this down and I would say within 3 to 4 hours it is back up. -I love the security of the screw underneath meaning extra secure that nobody can just remove it - only thing is make sure you have a mini screwdriver handy! -The image is clear and provides a good view. -Night vision is great. -It hasn't once lost connectivity. -The app I love! You can easily customise the settings and it pops up fully when someone is at the door - this is exactly what I wanted! -They do offer a one month trial of the cloud service but honestly I will just probably buy a memory card. Overall, I am extremely pleased with this and I cant think of anything negative to say. Extremely impressed. For the price compared to other ones (including the one I previously had) this is an amazing bit of kit.

Very impressed with this. Set up to work with Alexa as chime and notifications to phone. Quality far exceeded expectations. Sound and video quality top notch - perfect for those deliveries when not at home. Very simple to setup and install - only criticism being a couple of spare security screws would be useful (tip: place a towel or carrier bag to catch any drops when putting this retainer screw in) Battery life seems ok, been in use a week or so and still at 95% Another Tapo product a very good addition to other cameras and smart plugs already purchased.

more 3.5 stars and than 4. Bought this to replace Eufy video doorbell that after one year didn't fully charge up and had slow response time. This is a solid budget video camera. Good quality video, quick response times. However has two major drawbacks that are solveable with optional equipment: 1. local storage is on the doorbell itself, meaning the memory card or the actual unit itself can be stolen and you would lose all recordings. 2. The battery is nowhere near the 180 day life advertised, not even close! After a week of pretty average usage (a handful of notifications per day and maybe 2 bell presses?) the battery dropped to 84% meaning it would probably last about 6 weeks or 42 days. I solved both of these by: 1. getting a Tapo smart hub which allows the doorbell to record videos to a memory card on the hub which is located inside my house. (about £16) 2. getting a Tapo solar panel that connects to the door bell and charges it during the day (about £21). Potentially may not work as well in the winter but it beats charging it up every 6 weeks. So not perfect but still a decent buget option even with the additional add ons.

Added this to my collection of Tapo related goods and I am happy to say that it works flawlessly! Easy to set up via the Tapo app and the picture quality is astounding for not just what it covers, but for what it captures. It even set up the internet connection without me having to do anything other than tap 'ok' - it was that simple! Easy to pair up with google home (so far) and I need to dip more into that area to see what it does connect to. I get notifications on the device I've set it up to - silent ones, so a message will pop up on the screen to inform me that activity has been detected. I love the battery life too - my previous doorbell camera had to be recharged so often it spent most of it's life off the door. No subscription fees either - pop a micro SD card in it and it will capture activity on it, or you can watch on your device and you can record straight to your device (not good if you only have limited space available). Either way, I do wish I'd bought this FIRST.

Excellent product with a long lasting rechargable battery. It is very easy to set up. It needs to be within range of your broadband. It connected very easily to my WiFi. It sends me notifications on a regular basis. The size is great. It is nice and compact. The viewing range very good. It was much better than expected.

The camera quality is very good, and the setup process through the Tapo app was straightforward. It provides excellent coverage and added security for the front of the house. The app claims that a full battery charge can last up to 180 days, so it will be interesting to see how it performs over time. Overall, it’s excellent value for money. I didn’t purchase the chime, as notifications come directly to my phone through the Tapo app, which works perfectly for my needs. I’m impressed enough with this doorbell that I’ll be upgrading the rest of my home security system with Tapo cameras as well.

Good points - free to use, no subscriptions and storage on an SD card is a huge bonus. Links to all other Tapo products and use my existing hub as a chime and Alexa announcements elsewhere in the house. Good enough picture quality for nearby images. Bad points - battery life is awful, I have turned down the motion detection to lowest and still only get around 3 days on a full charge. Speed of connecting to the phone when the “call” comes through can be a bit slow sometimes. Overall it’s decent if you don’t mind constantly charging - maybe get a solar panel for it.

Fantastic camera and sound. Also easy set up. Can link additional cameras. If you want to save footage you need sd card around ten quid or subscribe each device 5 a month but not necessary if you just want to link and view live. Works in android and iPhone. Both hubby and I can see and get notified in app with separate phones. Works when hes offshore. For the money. Well pleased with the purchase and excellent set up instructions. Uk based company. Tapo wins my vote.

It’s okay

Just awesome battery life. Had it on the front door since late Oct 25 and there is still 44 per cent battery life after 7 months!

Antes tenia un timbre Ring, no funcionaba como debía, tenia problemas de señal débil WiFi. se perdían notificaciones. Cambie a timbre TP-Link Tapo, y ahora funciona excelente, buena imagen, capta señal WiFi sin problemas y las notificaciones son inmediatas. Muy recomendado

I Highly recommend this product to everyone who planning to buy this, you will be tension free . The product quality performance is best

I’ve been really impressed with the Tapo Video Doorbell D225. The wired installation was surprisingly easy and straightforward, even if you’re not super tech-savvy. Everything connected without any headaches. The video quality is excellent—clear, sharp, and reliable both day and night. It’s a big step up from what I was using before. The app is also very user-friendly. It’s simple to navigate, loads quickly, and makes it easy to check live view or review clips without any confusion. Overall, a great doorbell that does exactly what you want it to do without overcomplicating things.
