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

This camera was easy to set up, the chime took a while to set up as it kept saying network error but it didn't eventually start working once I reset it and started again. Mounting was easy enough with the screws. I opted for the wedge and honestly it's very sturdy and good. The battery came only 27% charged so I charged it. To get it off the base you need the little gadget in the box - keep it safe. It set itself up with Alexa without me trying and everything is working as it should. Took a while to get the ring facility to work on my phone but I have tried it a few times now and it has worked each time. I have an SD card in it and that was simple enough and it told me it was working. Overall quite impressed with the video quality. It's not amazing but it's certainly good. I've turned off all the settings for motion sensing other than person as I have a busy street. I like this camera. Not sure on battery life yet as only set up today and can't comment on the night vision as it's not dark yet but I imagine based on what I have seen so far both will be good. If your worried I say buy it - it's great for the price.

Had a ring, a blink and this Tapo and it’s far better than both. Solid construction, professionally made and presented. Working great from the box, charging by usb c and you can even charge in situ if you want from a power bank. Had a few Tapo plugs and lamps before and they have been reliable so I like the brand. App is decent with many variables for you to personalise if you want and setup was easy. The cloud option is affordable so I’ll probably go for that or you have the option of a micro sd (or both) which you can purchase separately; just make sure you get a suitable one as described in the manual. Supplied with a doorbell speaker as well which is great for my home. Far better than the blink with its crazy batteries, clunky usb transmitter and hit and miss performance. Love it!

I bought this doorbell camera less than 2 months ago to replace my ring doorbell and do away with the monthly subscriptions. It seemed to be a good device. Crystal clear camera quality although during night vision captures a person would gradually appear like a ghost, so camera triggered and at the start there's nothing and then suddenly a person appears. Not great if it's used to capture an event to be used as evidence. There needs to be an earlier trigger or more clarity on night vision captures. Other than that it's good. I have just had a replacement sent to me because despite this device claiming to be IP65 water resistant (not waterproof as the ad states) it completely died after heavy rain. For a device that's stated as IP65 water resistant it should stand up to heavy rainfall yet it is completely unresponsive, won't charge and is completely dead. I'm hoping that this is a one off issue and that the replacement will not suffer the same issue but for an outdoor doorbell camera that is IP65 rated it shouldn't die completely after a bit of rain. If you're going to purchase this device it might be worth considering where it's mounted to minimise the chance of water damage.

Verified Purchase | ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Outstanding video quality, subscription-free AI, and super easy setup! I replaced an older video doorbell with this TP-Link Tapo TD21, and it has been an absolute game-changer for front-door security! Here is why it gets a full 5 stars: * Crystal-Clear 2K 3MP Resolution & Color Night Vision: The 2K video clarity is sharp and detailed during the day, making it easy to read delivery badges or vehicle license plates. At night, the built-in spotlight turns on for crisp, full-color night vision instead of grainy black-and-white. * Head-to-Toe 160° Field of View: The wide 160° diagonal lens gives complete doorway coverage with virtually zero blind spots. You can see visitors from head to toe and check packages left right on the doorstep. * No Monthly Fees & Local Storage: A massive bonus compared to competitors! The free AI Person Detection filters out unwanted motion alerts (like passing cars or swaying trees) without forcing you into a monthly subscription. Plus, inserting a microSD card (up to 512GB) allows local footage storage completely subscription-free. * Long-Lasting 6-Month Battery: The wireless setup took under 10 minutes to install. The battery efficiency is impressive—holding charge extremely well without needing constant top-ups. * Included Chime & Smart Integration: Having the wireless indoor ring chime included in the box is fantastic so you hear the doorbell throughout the house without relying solely on phone notifications. Seamless integration with Alexa and Google Home makes checking live feeds on smart displays effortless. If you want a reliable, high-definition, wireless video doorbell that gives total peace of mind without hidden recurring costs, the Tapo TD21 is unbeatable value. Highly recommended!

Really love my Tapo doorbell. It was so easy to fit outside my door in my flat stairwell and I just love the integration with Alexa that means I was able to easily set up a routine to automatically trigger the video feed on my Echo Show devices whenever movement is detected. The video quality is high quality, works in a variety of lighting conditions and once I added a SD card for storing recordings locally it makes it a breeze to go back and review all the events that have triggered it over time - without having to pay for a subscription of any kind. The main thing you miss by not using "Tapo care" appears to be some AI detection functionality, but there is so much to this product that you really won't miss this. It's also very flexible in that you can adjust the sensitivity/range that triggers events, and you can also choose to have the doorbell automatically ring your phone, etc. when someone pushes the button - and I also like that when movement is triggered the small circle on the doorbell that surrounds the push-button illuminates to draw someone's attention to it. It's really easy to fit - I used the adhesive pads supplied, rather than the screw-in approach, and it has been rock-solid in terms of its adhesion now for months. And indeed the battery lasts an extremely long time - I typically only have to charge it once every few months (although if there are more events that trigger it to come to life then the charging cycle would be compressed). Mind you, even if you charge it more frequently, it takes moments to detach it from the fitting frame and then charge it up (using any USB-C charger). Overall, this is an extremely functional piece of security equipment. It connected to my WiFi without any difficulty whatsoever, has a great, highly intuitive app, and has been one of the best products in this area that I've bought - I just love the extra reassurance it offers so that I can see the stairwell outside my flat whenever I want (and I definitely believe it deters anti-social behaviour). Highly recommended.

So I have had a Ring doorbell for about 6 years. I have no problem with it but resent having to pay a separate subscription to keep recordings. They are expensive enough without having to pay too record footage. So I have loads of Tapo devices in the home from bulbs, cameras and plugs. All work in one app and all work really well. If you have Alexa you don’t have to do anything in the app. It just shows up ready once set up in Tapo app. So for the doorbell. It’s a weighty thing and feels solid. Video quality is excellent, easily on par with the Ring. The light ring has enough illumination to light up whoever is at the door in full colour and high definition at night. I like the fact when someone rings the doorbell, your phone announces it like a phone call (along with any smart speaker). You just answer like a facetime call (they can’t see you). Battery life has been really good considering mine is close to the path so gets plenty of foot traffic going by. I have set mine to only activate on people rather than everything, otherwise it would never stop recording. And there is the great thing about it. Stick a memory card in and all the recordings are there for you to view in the Tapo app. You can download them to your phone if you need to right from the app. If you want the added security of cloud backup, Tapo Care have you covered with different plans. I have a couple of Tapo security cameras I pay for backup on. But I’m getting two cameras backed up for the price I was Paying for one Ring camera. Oh and you get a wireless doorbell chime you can stick in any plug in the house. You pay extra for that with Ring. When I got it, it was on offer and only cost £35. Worth every penny.

This doorbell camera is fantastic much better than my ubox I had clear picture even at night the added light is a bonus and has great sound quality. It's easy to use, install and set up and has great storage. It is easy to adjust and great security

I always recommend Tapo doorbells when friends and family ask me about security products. It’s an excellent little device more stylish in my opinion than other compatible brands but also stand out more serving well as a deterrent. Notifications are good and the Tapo app gives a decent amount of control. A very shallow learning curve for my older mother in law who wouldn’t be without her doorbell. We popped in a 32gb memory card and it’s great to have the option of both local storage for free and cloud storage for a small fee. Not being forced to be tied into the subscription is excellent and TP link are not pushy in forcing this additional option on you. There are no features locked behind the subscription for greed, simply pay for the ability for off site storage if that’s what you prefer. The included angle adapter is easy to fit and was perfect for our use case. Battery life is good, lasting several weeks before needing a charge, the only draw back I have found is charging does take some time, we’ve had to leave the doorbell off for a full day before it’s back to a reasonable percentage. I know hard wiring these is very easy to do yourself if your confident with a drill and the hard wiring kits simply plug straight into a wall socket - something I’ll get around too at some point in the near future. Like most video doorbells, return communication can be a little hit and miss sometimes. With the Tapo doorbells I feel this is something that needs improvement on the software side. Most of the time you will use this feature you’ll likely be talking to a delivery driver and these guys don’t have time to be waiting for a delayed response. However this is a small issue and it does work fine the majority of the time.

Me gustó y lo compré porque todo lo que tendí en domótica es topo. Funcionó con el timbre dentro de casa la primera vez. Ya no hay manera de configurarlo. Así que tengo cámara en la calle pero no timbre (ese era él propósito principal)

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

Ottimo, unisce la comodità di un videocitofono senza fili alla sicurezza di una telecamera con rilevamento di movimento.

Produit 100 % conforme à la commande, je vous le recommande vivement.
