Tapo/Kasa (TP-Link) - Tapo TDB21

If your worried about privacy (this is a legit concern btw, see Eufy and the shitshow that happened there) then yes get a camera, probably multiple in fact, but get tapo. I have a TAPO doorbell (TD21) and its great. Charge will probably last 4 months maybe longer, and thats even on high performance. A 128gb will probably last me a year or so. I have the base in the house where the card can sit, its extra but it means the card doesn’t have to live in the camera and i have two chimes in the house. It works in pitch black too. There is no need to have any cloud services of any kind, you will just not be able to answer when you’re away. When it does ring, it calls like a phone call, or if the camera detects motion, or you just fancy seeing whats there. Just bought the garden camera too. This sounds like a sales pitch for tapo haa

Wyze "Requires no subscription" lol. To be useful and do any sort of human or pet only AI detection you have to pay. Dump them Tapo and Reolink both offer good doorbells. Tapo has a better app and better playback, reolink has better image quality

Yeah it works but if you only wanted people you can't filter out others. Tapo is the closest alternative. If you are wired the D130 with an SD card is it

Tapo, reolink, eufy in that case. I still prefer the tapo app then eufy, then reolink

Tapo records 24x7. App is dead simple.

SO the D210 is better

Used the D210/TD21 and now D230S1.

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

I'm a big fan of my Tapo. I opted for a battery powered model due to it's placement location so I need to charge it every 6 months. A big selling point for me is that you use a storage card, or the yearly subscription to save video (subscription is something like $27/year).

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.
