Tapo/Kasa (TP-Link) - Tapo D210

I don’t know if they are available in the UK, but I have 2 Tapo doorbells from TP-Link that do actually call your phone. It’s a handy feature since you don’t have to go through the hassle of opening the app to answer, you just answer it like a regular phone call with added video. They are battery operated (rechargeable) and wifi. There are 2 models, the D210 (which is what I have) and the D225. The D225 can be hardwired also if you have power where you install it. They come with a separate plug-in chime and work with Alexa and Google. Plus they have free onboard person, vehicle, and pet detection. We’ve had ours for about 6 months and I’ve been very happy with how they perform.

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

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

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.

TP-Link's Kasa or Tapo devices are what you want. Get a large enough memory card and you'll have 24/7 recording for a month. Great quality video as well. I previously had Ring, Nest, and Wyze doorbell cameras, my Tapo doorbell camera is superior to those.

Same. I had a bunch of Wyze cameras, but I've moved onto TP-Links Tapo system and am happy with it all. Their Kasa line is also good.

Tapo is good if you don't want to pay Eufy prices, but they suffer from the shortcoming of storing footage on an SD card in the doorbell unless you subscribe. However, the doorbell has an anti-theft mode with a fairly loud alarm, and the subscription is £28 per year for a single doorbell/camera which isn't bad at all.
