A great doorbell camera well priced.
A great little doorbell camera with a wide field of view and crisp clear recordings. Easy to set up and programme I would definitely recommend it and having had a Ring doorbell camera for the last 7 years I can honestly say that this is better and is cloud charge free. Set it up before you decide where to mount it as this gives you the best security coverage day and night.

Excellent value smart doorbell!
been really impressed with the Tapo TD21 Battery Video Doorbell. The 2K 3MP video quality is sharp and clear, making it easy to recognise visitors and deliveries during both the day and at night. The colour night vision is a great feature and gives much better visibility than I expected. The installation was straightforward, and the Tapo app was quick to set up. I also like that it includes AI detection for people, pets, and vehicles helping to reduce unnecessary alerts. The two-way audio is clear, so it’s easy to speak with visitors even when I’m away from home. One of the biggest advantages is that you don’t need to pay a monthly subscription if you use a microSD card for local storage, which can save money over time. Overall, it’s an excellent combination of quality, features and value for money. I would definitely recommend it to anyone looking for a reliable wireless video doorbell.

Excellent value and a great option but...
The major faults starting from worst imo are 1. the claimed battery life is total BS. No one is getting that, according to forums 3 months is the max if using it with frugal settings. I estimate 6 weeks once fully bedded down. 2. The 2k Resolution is technically true but the compression means it probably closer to 0.5k, when you zoom in to faces its resolving power is faeces. 3. Poor automation options. All you get is switching privacy mode on our off. You can't have different auto responses depending on time of day for example. (You do get to make your own recordings which many others don't offer at any price) 4. While the chime is excellent (and cute) I have had the chime go but the phone call didn't come through. Not a delay it just didn't come through at all. Possibly thats my phone's fault, TBF, but it should come in late if that's the case🤔. 5. It's kinda big compared to many others - overhangs my door post by a touch Loads of good things to say especially the excellent value coming with a chime and angled wedge which could add an extra £30 - 50 with other brands, it's from a respected brand (tp link), works well with Google home/nest, and on balance I wouldn't choose another. I did do extensive research beforehand but it seems most YouTubers get their gear for free I guess and feel positive bias. otherwise they would mention the flaws I've given here.

No subscription required and good image
Picture is really sharp for the price. Really like that I can use a memory card rather than a subscription. Easy to attach anywhere with what comes in the box (3m sticking is a good job. Works well day and night too. Takes a wee bit to get the sensitivity right, but worth taking the time. Can also set up notifications and answer with your phone.

Great and affordable video doorbell
Bought to replace my previous different branded camera doorbell that would no longer charge, I have previous had 3 video doorbell over the last 10 (ish) years including a Ring doorbell but didn't get on with it and did not like the extortionate subscription for the Ring bell as well as having to purchase chimes seperately. Recieved the item yesterday and so far so good. Comes with a camera doorbell and plug in chime that works very well. It is very easy to set up and link to home WiFi and phones, you can have more than 1 phone linked to the camera but the other person is not able to edit the settings (not a problem for us), we just wanted something we can both access. Battery life seems good but a little early to tell, picture quality is great, it looks great and much more expensive than it was, appears sturdy. It was easy to install, not able to comment on the adhesive pads as we fix to the wall with a drill, good motion detection, great 180 degree view adding security. I am yet to identify any negatives, I would recommend this product to others.

Tapo are great
I purchased another one for my back gate also, Tapo are great, easy to set up. Clear pictures. Far better than a certain other one. Don’t need cloud storage, can store on micro sd card. Great notifications. I’ve also got Tapo bulbs & indoor camera to watch the dogs

Better than Ring.
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.

Good Doorbell, Poor Security Camera – Unreliable Motion Detection and Wi-Fi
Persze. Íme egy rövid, kiegyensúlyozott, de határozott review angolul: I’ve been disappointed with the reliability of the Tapo Doorbell. As a doorbell, it works well, and the image quality is good. It has a wide field of view and the night vision is clear. However, as a security camera, I can’t rely on it. The biggest issue is motion and person detection. I have another camera covering the same area, and it reliably detects people. For example, at 4:36 AM it detected and recorded a person walking past my driveway. At exactly the same time, the Tapo Doorbell detected nothing—no motion, no person, and no recording was saved at all. Unfortunately, this isn’t just a problem with the doorbell. I also own a Tapo camera, and its motion detection is inconsistent as well, especially at night. Another major issue is the Wi-Fi connection. The doorbell frequently disconnects from my Eero 6 router. When it goes offline, it doesn’t detect motion or record anything, even though recordings are stored locally. In contrast, my other security camera can continue recording locally if the Wi-Fi connection drops. Because of these issues, I cannot recommend the Tapo Doorbell as a security camera. It’s fine as a video doorbell, but if reliable motion detection and security recording are important to you, especially at night, it is not dependable.

Great value doorbell.
Great doorbell and very good price from Amazon UK. Video is high quality and seems to have good battery life. I had to purchase a cheap UK to AU power adapter for the door chime but that's no problem.

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