It’s not difficult. They typically include a jumper wire in the box and the instructions on how to do it are included. The jumper is typically installed where the chime is located in a normal doorbell in the house on a wall somewhere. The transformer is typically installed where the box with the wall chime in your home. Simply shut off the power, loosen two screws and put the jumper wire under each screw, retighten the screws and turn the power back on. Getting out the steps tool to reach the chime was the longest part of the procedure.
I too have the Tapo and it works well. I’m moving to the Reolink just because I’m replacing my door and jamb and want the POE so I’ll have access to run some CAT6 while the doorframe is out. I’ve had no issues with the Tapo or the Kasa one in my previous home.
I use kasa from tplink. Local storage on SD card and I can access it via app.
Blink's main downside is lower video quality compared to Kasa, and the field of view is narrower. Kasa has 2K resolution on some models which is sharper. What's more important to you, sharper video or better integration? If you have Alexa devices, Blink wins. If you want higher res, Kasa.
Kasa doorbell. I've had mine for 2 years.no issues. Rings whenever detects a person. Works on my nest display 2. Have an SD card so it records 24/7. It does 2.4 GHz. And no subscription required. And I do get notifications right away. Even on a pixel phone. Pixel phones have the tendency to delay a lot of notifications. https://a.co/d/04HCt9YL
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.
