Tapo TD25

Tapo d130 has worked well. If you want a battery go with the td25 or d235

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.

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.

I use the Tapo D225. Mind you I have mine hardwired, but needed the battery backup, due to power outages. I have tried the Reolink doorbell before, but at that time, the Alexa integration wasn't as good as the Tapo one, so I returned the Reolink. Obviously having the Tapo hardwired, it's in always on mode, so loading the live view and recordings is pretty snappy. But I would assume, running it on battery alone, shouldn't take 45 seconds to load the live view.

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
