2K+ Wired or Battery Powered Smart Video Doorbell with Chime - 180° Field of View, Person/Vehicle/Package Detection, Ring Call, 2-Way Audio, Subscription-Free Local Storage or Optional Cloud,D225

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.

Awesome doorbell camera. The 2k quality is amazing and is just right for a doorbell camera. The settings and ability to establish alert zones so I don’t get a million notifications throughout the day is nice. The speed of getting to the video when someone comes to the door is faster than my old Nest and the fact that I can spend $60 once for a micro SD card and not $80/month for years of looping video history is amazing! I have a 256GB card and I am getting 2 full weeks of history at a time that I can review if needed. The 180° angle camera is a true 180°. I can see clearly both directions out of my front door. The price can’t be beat for how robust this is and it can operate in their app for free without any cloud storage. It was easy to install and the various adapters for positioning the camera at just the right angle was super helpful. It is a tad bulky, but I can live with that since the bulk provides an internal battery that can run for weeks if ever needed (mine is hardwired so the battery backup for a true 24/7 camera is awesome. ) the fact that it isn’t tied to the cloud is nice since it never has to deal with any network reliability. All video is stored on the micro SD card regardless of WiFi connection and once WiFi is back I can review all of the video. App is very simple and easy to use, but doesn’t lack any features. Night video was better than I expected. All around a fabulous camera!

I've replaced my Ring Doorbell with TP-Link D225 to eliminate paying for Ring subscription services. I should have known that it is a superior product just because of the TP-Link brand although I didn't realize how superior until it was completely installed. It's a much more sold construction and heavier, super easy to set up, connected to the internet very quickly & strongly. Everything required for installation is included with the doorbell giving you the option of using a slight downward wedge, wedge to the side or just a flat, no wedge mount. I chose the slight downward to allow for easier viewing of packages and found that it still provides plenty of upward space to include complete tall people and higher. The battery is stated to hold charge for approx. 8 months! We'll see, it does have a larger battery than any other doorbell I researched (including TP-Link's battery only model). The D225 also provides the option of wiring the unit without the continuous need for the battery. An SD card slot will also receive a 512GB SD card (sold separately) so I always have access to the video. Once connected with Alexa, notifications come through loud and clear when motion is detected at the doorbell. Notifications are also available via messages. The only downside I find is that, when the battery needs recharging, the entire doorbell needs to be brought into the house for charging. The battery inside the doorbell can not be removed. Although, the doorbell is easily released from the mount which makes it easier. All and all, I'm very pleased with the quality of the unit & the quality of the videos that it provides. They are easily downloaded onto your phone & sent to others. The mounting instructions stated to try and keep the unite from direct sun. That was impossible for me, as the early morning sun shines right onto my front door (later NO sun) although once mounted with the downward wedge, I found that there is NO problem with the sun shining right into the lens. TP-Links quality name has shown to be accurate for the D225 as it is with many of their other products. I highly recommend this doorbell. It's a bit of an initial investment but pays off over time due to NOT needing a subscription to view your videos from anywhere.

Replaced a Ring doorbell which never quite worked right. (Voltage was a little too low for it, I think). More than anything I got tired of the annual subscription taking money (lately it's been $50/yr). This one doesn't care about the voltage and you don't have to have a subscription if you don't want to. It came online right away. Installation was straight forward except for a little trial and error with the installation plates that came with them. I ended up stacking both plates where one was for the angle caused by the siding and the other was to angle the camera towards the door a bit. The view with both plates is excellent. The functionality works really nice. Glad that when someone rings the doorbell, the app pops up on my phone and looks like a phone call coming in. That's really nice. Only thing I'd ask them to change is to have a cancel button instead of having to answer it to silence it. (Just had my first caller and I was going to walk over to open the door instead of talking through the doorbell. Would be nice to not have to answer in the app.) Another minor issue is that both my wife and I are linked to the doorbell. If someone rings the doorbell, it will ring both of our phones. If I answer it, it will continue to ring my wifes phone or vice versa. I wish they'd just silence it on both phones once it is answered in either phone - maybe with a notification that it was answered to the other phone.) I've seen this issue mentioned in forums so it is a known thing. Sound quality is good. Video quality is good. The phone software (apple iphone) is good. Nothing else to complain about. I recommend this phone without reservations.

Works great. Easy to set up and install. Shows images in excellent quality

Great product. Hard wired to my old door bell wiring to power it and not worry about batteries is fantastic. That then offers 24 hour coverage and a super feature that is able to show some camera footage even before the motion activation. Really clear image recorded onto a micro SD card. Lots of features to control how and what is captured. Ties in with my Alexa and iPhone to instantly alert me when bell is pushed. Very happy with this doorbell camera and highly recommend it.

I am very impressed with this doorbell cam, and with Tapo products. I tossed my Ring doorbell as near worthless at detecting anyone, people could hold a square dance in front of it before being noticed. This Tapo is much better, and I don't need the $4 month Ring subscription. Good image, so-so audio could be better. Connection and set up are truly superior, very easy. I already have ten Tapo security cameras and they have been operating perfectly for months. I don't give this five stars because it could be better: Because i have Tapo security cams that means I already have a Tapo hub, and should be able to add the doorbell camera to that, but nope. That means all video is recorded on the onboard camera and i would prefer the hub so the images are secure from theft. Which is another thing, theft of the doorbell would be a two second thing, just rip it off the wall, and your recordings go with it. No bueno. Finally, motion detection is selectable and configurable except for something Tapo calls 'speed', and this is a constant irritant because things like headlights trigger it, and there is no way to disable speed. Still, this is a major improvement over Ring.

The product so far is working great, it’s been installed here for a couple of weeks. When I initially stalled it, I had an issue with the chime working with the doorbell, so I sent the company an email which they responded to very quickly and helped me to get everything working.. nowadays service can be hard to get but in this case they were very on the spot and helpful. I’m not paying for the monthly service and I installed a USB card and everything is functioning without a problem and I’m not getting any issues with them trying to persuade me to pick up the Service that I seen in other comments.. I’m planning to use this on other properties and I’m happy to see that they have other sensors such as humidity.. I like the idea that you can set up an area for detection so it’ll only notify you within a certain area - where my camera sits my street is about 40 feet away and it was detecting large vehicles going down the street when I set up the zone for detection those type of notification stopped. I installed the 15° wedge down to be able to watch the packages that are put up against the door and the image quality has been excellent and the cat eye vision allows full visibility on my porch.. love the idea that when somebody rings the doorbell, I get a call through the app which allows me to communicate. So far this has shown to be everything I could want it to do.. the app has been easy to work with and reliable. It immediately connected to my Wi-Fi and has function without a problem.

Quelle caméra! La qualité d'image est spectaculaire. Mais il faut surtout parler de la grande simplicité d'installation! Wow! Quand j'ai vu le guide de démarrage rapide, je me suis dit, "ouais, pas sûr que ça sera aussi simple...". Bien oui, c'est tellement simple... Une fois l'application en route sur mon téléphone et la sonnette en mode "ON", tout se fait pratiquement automatiquement; le plus compliqué sera de retrouver le mot de passe de votre réseau wifi, :-) Ce que j'apprécie le plus, franchement, c'est le fait de pouvoir accueillir mes visiteurs tout simplement en répondant à la sonnerie de mon téléphone. Et mes visiteurs me confirment qu'il comprennent très bien ce que je leur dis: le son est excellent, et c'est la même chose de mon côté. La seule chose qui m'a causé souci fut de trouver où se cache l'option 'antivol': il s'agit de l'option qui déclenche une alarme dans le cas où quelqu'un essaierait de partir avec votre sonnette. La documentation en ligne qui accompagne la sonnette indique que cette option se trouve dans le menu "Paramètres", mais il s'agit d'un autre modèle de sonnette... Dans le cas de cette sonnette-ci, il faut aller dans les paramètres, puis choisir "Sonnette": vous y trouverez l'option Antivol.

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

Montage makkelijk. Er zijn handige plaatjes bij om de bel in verschillende hoeken aan de muur te bevestigen. Ondertussen 2 weken in gebruik en batterij staat op 95%. Wel best een micro SD-kaartje bijbestellen. De binnenbel is wel enkel geschikt voor een Amerikaans stopcontact, best dus ook een stekkeradapter VS - EU bijbestellen.

High quality and high recommended
