Tapo/Kasa (TP-Link) - Kasa KD110

I have a Kasa doorbell - local storage, simple app - clear/bright video up close - not amazing long distance but you can see lots still.

I just picked up a TPlink Kasa doorbell off amazon for $30-35. You can install an sd card for local recording, then use the app for video playback, live viewing, and talking through the cam. I haven't got around to installing it yet but the two other Kasa cams I have are excellent. They're cheap and have local storage (sd card).

They record over old data. With my settings my cam looking at our back deck has about 15 days. Adjusting quality and sensitivity could definitely improve that.

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

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.

I have a Tapo, cloud is optional videos can be stored on an SD card in the indoor part of the system which I do

Tapo doorbell works better than ring by a big margin

I have TAPO - very happy.

I went with Tapo, and although I've nothing to compare them with, I am very happy with them. The App notifies me of whatever I want it to (movement, crossed-line, entry to specific area, person detected, or camera tampering). You can get a subscription if you want cloud storage, or you can install a micro SD card. You can speak through the camera speaker and it gives you live audio recordings too. I was an easy install and took me about 30 mins for each one, this included drilling the holes, mounting and connecting to the internet/ app set up.

I've just switched from ring to tapo and I'm really liking the new doorbell. Something to consider!

I've had Ring, Eufy and Tapo. Tapo is the best. It's wireless, but the battery lasts long and has great picture quality. Just get an sd card for storage.

I've only had it 2 weeks. The memory card records over old recordings automatically when it's full. You'll need an sd card with eufy too. Well, I did with my last eufy doorbell.

For a while on Android, the Tapo doorbell wouldn't do a video call to your phone unless you had the app open. As in, the app had to actually be on screen. If it was running in the background you'd only get an easily missed notification that someone had rang the doorbell.  After a few few months there was an update to the app to "address Android video calling issues" and all they did was explicitly state on the permissions screen that it wouldn't work unless the app was in the foreground.  Then another few months after that it actually got fixed. So I guess I give them points for actually fixing things with software updates, but it they're still 7the sort of company that uses paying customers as beta testers. As well as the doorbell I have the central hub yoke, two external wireless cameras, and a little pan and tilt camera in the kitchen that I mostly use to keep an eye on the dogs if we're out. Other than that doorbell issue I haven't had a problem with any of the kit.

I have my house wired up with Tapo products - one of the many TP Link sub-brands. Doorbell, internal and outdoor cameras. On board memory for all so going back on the doorbell camera I have about 4 months of motion activated footage. Helps I also have lighting and smart plugs set up all within the same app. I also have some Wyze cameras, they're US imports so less often seen but decent quality.

Tapo, their cameras and doorbells are awesome

+1 for Tapo. My doorbells are quick and they have good video quality 5mp 2k day and night. Do NOT buy blink. I ended up recycling mine as I couldn’t even sell them for $10 on marketplace. They were slow even with the blink module. They were even slower after the chip unsoldered itself from the inside of the module and I couldn’t even sell only see video when the bell was pressed. The delay with the sync module was about 7 seconds and over a dozen without. By the time I got the notification and could respond anyone who rang the bell was already off the property.

We put a tapo doorbell in for my mam who has dementia. I have the app on my phone so i can see who's calling. No subscriptions or anything..battery life decent.

Tapo are great value overall

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.

We’re replacing all the Blink everything with Tapo. Sooooo much better and roughly the same price.

I've got TP-Link TAPO. Uses an SD card to store footage. There is a subscription if you want it but I don't.
