Tapo D225

Just put in a Tapo D225. Love it. 24/7 recording. Ton of controls/settings in the app. Saves video to a microSD card in the unit (extra purchase). You can pay for a subscription for cloud storage but it’s really not needed. Video quality is great - even at night. Came with its own chime (have to bypass existing chime for 24/7 recording feature).

tapo d225 is both wireless or 24/7 recording if wired, connected to your existing doorbell (8~24Vac, check your existing doorbell transformer output), even the push-in notification is distintive

…by distinctive, it means you will receive a “telephone type” announcement, instead of the traditional push notification message

The tapo d225 (maybe the same with d235) won’t chime the mechanical section, only bypass the ac transformer for powering, and will record 24/7

Yes, if recording 24/7 you will disable the mechanical section (bypass)

I have a Tapo and it does everything OP wants with no subscription. Model D225.

It does when I link the Tapo account to my Google Home. But the notifications through Google home are "All or Nothing" kind which I didn't like and still did not have the option to display video on the hub. Only sound notifications.

TP Link Tapo D225 my man. Stellar even on wifi and I had a garbage Simplysafe doorbell cam for my last one.... That was absolute garbage. Also if you want to stay with ReoLink, they have a PoE version.. Just go to amazon and search for ReoLink POE Camera (there is no model #) It's $109 currently.

I have to do the same. On the D225 you CAN just wire it up without bypassing, however you still can't use always on recording or ONVIF features/etc until it's bypassed.
