Tapo/Kasa (TP-Link) - D210

Not sure which to get.. but do NOT get the Tapo D210.... It no longer works with HA at all since tp link did a firmware update to kill the rtsp stream outside of the Tapo App.

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

I have wireless Tapo. No subscription. Records to a micro sd card. https://preview.redd.it/xniqxwfxatoe1.jpeg?width=1576&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=f709ba37673e2c3dfd5640affe6eb3c2490bcab0

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 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.

Been absolutely loving my tp link and the price was too good to pass up

Tapo, presumably. Better news here. https://www.reddit.com/r/CasualIreland/s/y8WuzmJJNC

That's great news. I didn't realise that you could keep limited access to the cloud service without paying. This is important to maintain access to images of someone who decides to break the camera, with the memory card, off the mounting. Tapo ofc.

The doorbell is great, but a bit big

I have some Tapo stuff, which was cheap and it's grand. The app can alert me and record etc. It doesn't need a subscription.

Yes, Tapo ones are as good as Ring and around the same price to buy but are subscription free.
