Tapo d130 has worked well. If you want a battery go with the td25 or d235
I went with the Tapo d225 and really like it.
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)
Okay I see now what you mean. My Tapo D225, still records even when watching live after clicking on a notification. So this one should do what you want.
Tapo D225 solid . Local storage and good detection. It just doesn’t have rich notifications
I’m currently running it . Switched from a ring doorbell . It has pretty good detection even tells me if there’s a package . The only hang up for me personally is not having rich notifications but if that feature isn’t important to you it’s a phenomenal device . ( rich notifications are available if you subscribe for I think $3 a month)
Check out the Tapo d225 it’s been wonderful for me
The user interface sucks compared to others, but everything else is great about Tapo.
Tapo D225 has worked well for us. Resolution is not amazing but does the job. Detection and notifications are good. We use an sd card. The battery lasts for many months, and takes just a few hours to charge. Really convenient. Cheap compared to the options you listed. Don’t know about bifl though
Tapo d225 owner here ..no complaints with coverage. I added a solar panel so I didn't have to remove it periodically to charge battery. No subscription, wide fov, and I have it working with other Tapo devices. Example: " when doorbell can detects motion, turn on outside lights for 3 minutes" I seriously thought about another one for the back door that is private and wooded. It's been great.
My personal recommendation is Tapo, specifically the D225. I have two, and they are so feature rich
SD card out of the box but you can run it through a NAS and then to cloud storage if you want to: https://www.tp-link.com/us/support/faq/2680/
