Based on 1 year's data from Mar 28, 2026 How it works
Tapo D235 (£80) + H200 Hub (£30) + microSD card. Or the Tapo D210 (£40) as a cheaper alternative. No subscription needed and a great piece of kit in my opinion. The hub sits inside your home so even if someone rips the doorbell off and runs the footage will be safe, it also supports a few more cameras and all Tapo's range of sensors if you ever need them. Battery life is pretty good as long as you tune the motion detection well, especially if you live on a busy road, barely an issue if not though.
Tapo d210 160* FOV, no $, running 2 years 👍, added a solar panel to eliminate the needing to remove to charge. It's less than $50
[https://www.tapo.com/uk/faq/686/](https://www.tapo.com/uk/faq/686/) https://preview.redd.it/pvwujzk1wqxf1.jpeg?width=1080&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=4509c27ebe2675ac5da45037f5e8f45f39c33975 I just want to add that the battery life of these doorbells are amazing. 0% for 2 days of no activity. 1% a day on a decent traffic of \~20 detections. Used the D210/TD21 and now D230S1.
I have Tapo non wired. Rechargeable battery. No subscription required. I use a micro SD card.
I have a Tapo wifi battery doorbell and it's not great. With person detection on the battery barely lasts so I've got it set to only wake then the button is pressed now which kind of defeats the point. It also doesn't expose a stream to home assistant
I'm a big fan of my Tapo. I opted for a battery powered model due to it's placement location so I need to charge it every 6 months. A big selling point for me is that you use a storage card, or the yearly subscription to save video (subscription is something like $27/year).
tapo series. very good connectivity.
Get a TP Link Tapo video doorbell and thank me later.
Tapu are great. Really good picture quality and you get a fews month of trial. After the feee trial i think its 39 euro for a year to keep the cloud service or you get 7 days recorded for free.
I'll join the other two comments and say Tapo and Reolink. I helped a friend install a Reolink PoE doorbell cam, and it is clear as can be and he loves it. And I just bought a Tapo doorbell cam for my parents and they love it. Tapo is nice if you still have a 24v ac doorbell circuit there. When the doorbell is pressed, it actually calls their phones like someone is making a phone call, and they can answer it and talk to whoever is at the door. It's pretty cool. There is also an electric chime that plugs into a wall outlet. With their old doorbell circuit already there, installation was about 10 minutes, and most of that time was spent reading directions.
