Tapo/Kasa (TP-Link) - Kasa KD110

My kasa does this.

TP-Link's Kasa or Tapo devices are what you want. Get a large enough memory card and you'll have 24/7 recording for a month. Great quality video as well. I previously had Ring, Nest, and Wyze doorbell cameras, my Tapo doorbell camera is superior to those.

Same. I had a bunch of Wyze cameras, but I've moved onto TP-Links Tapo system and am happy with it all. Their Kasa line is also good.

I love my kasa one. It has slot for sd card and can do 247 recording. My sd card holds about 4d of history.

Kasa and Tapo No subscription required. FWIW get a wired doorbell (the battery powered ones take too long to wake up)

I use the kasa powered one and its great. Amazon will often have an open box model for a great price, and thats the route I'd go (full warranty and refund)

Try the tapo or kasa doorbells. I kniw you say "apartment friendly" but if you have wires, a wired doorbell is super easy to install.

Nah. I bought a kasa (tapo TP link) doorbell without subscription. It is pointed outwards towards the public street.

I use a kasa kd110. It's a tp link tapo brand. Wired. SD card. No subscription. Cheap (about $40).

We use Tapo n Kasa Inexpensive enough to be practically disposable. I think my kasa cost about $40

I have been extremely satisfied with my TPlink Kasa KD110.

Ring has lower latency than Tapo (which also has local storage to no subscription) I found

Switched a little over a year ago all my cameras to TP Link Tapo, primarily because of the quality/reliability, outdoor battery & wifi capability, and local storage. All devices can take an SD card that stores local/capable of downloading in app, or connection to a hub, I have both for different instances. Outdoor cams average 6 mos or so of battery life, but are remarkably quick to connect with high quality (4k), and charge in 3-4 hrs plugged inside, batteries are rechargeable but also removable. I put in their always-on doorbell recently, and I'm super impressed, connected to my existing wiring and it keeps the optional internal battery at about 80% to extend life. The doorbell and all outdoor cams can easily distinguish a human, car, and package delivery (package on doorbell cam only), but struggle a little with bad weather and random animals, those still trigger my notifications. All can dial in via a customized zone you can set, and alerts/triggers are all adjustable as well. Night vision is incredible, and my outdoor cams have audible and light alarms I keep on for any trigger between 11 pm-6 am.

Tapo wired doorbell with a Tapo hub for indoor storage. Just be aware it won’t do 90 degree image rotation, only 180, so it has to be mounted vertically (portrait) and not horizontally (landscape) to get the proper orientation of the image.

tp link cheap and good

TP-Link Tapo Pros: Works great. Isn't a subscription item. Doesn't cost a million dollars. Cons: Either you self host or you're at the risk of losing data if the SD card inside of it ever disappears. Recording continuously by the way isn't a doorcam, that's a security cam. Fundamentally different style of device. You would need to hardwire it, can't be battery powered. The amount of data would be overwhelming, and isn't really practical for remote access.

I also have zero complaints. A simple tp-link doorcam with a simple consumer router. Battery powered so it never goes down. Charges once every 6 months. Paired with a simple TP Link consumer grade router. The router has cloud access but I rarely need it. I've never even heard of a wifi outage from a simple consumer router.
