For a doorbell camera that’s an incredible image, especially for only $40

Try the D130 It's pretty small, it just doesn't have the PIR motion detection. I have two of them setup and they work very well.

I swapped out my wyze doorbell for a tapo D130. The field of view is great, and I have no complaints about it. Have you gotten 2 way audio to work?

I came in to make this suggestion. Mine has been great. Simple, no muss, no fuss.

Tapo d130 has worked well. If you want a battery go with the td25 or d235

Had a d130 door bell in -17f this past weekend without issue. And a c246 in an unheated garage about 0f without issue.

My d130 uses doorbell power. I had to bypass the old chime though

Tapo D130 is good for $50. Get lots of bitrate complaints in the logs but it works ok. I need the wide angle due to mounting location anyway.  Hikvision is supposedly great but very hard to find in the US.

Tapo d130, reolink doorbell (not battery). Eufy c31. If you can't get power to it though you're screwed as battery doesn't do 24x7

I think my $40 tapo doorbell honestly looks better and has more features for free... https://preview.redd.it/h5v1m8frx6vf1.jpeg?width=2560&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=1e45f31f7a2c2f1f14a8d44ae20a7e92511035e4

I have tapo d130 it's ultra wide for sure, somewhat too wide but works. Alexa can display video auto, google doesn't exactly. Eufy can auto display on its own tablet and is quite user friendly

Depends. You want 24x7 recording? Tapo has more options Want dual cams? Eufy has the e340 Ultra wide? Tapo d130.

They didn't use a jammer, blink cameras are just the worst. One that records locally to a SD card 24x7 is just fine like the tapo d130

define why it was a letdown first If you are wired no reason to go with the D225 I have the D130 and its perfectly adequate and works well. App is simple.

Tapo, reolink. Both work well. If you have power buy the tapo d130 for dirt cheap and see if you like it

Wyze, eufy, reolink, tapo. All those apps are better and more feature rich

Tapo or eufy. Wyze is trash, reolink isn't great for doorbells. Ring is... Yeah... Just don't.

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

You want a Tapo doorbell, for example Tapo D130. It can record to a SD card and serve a ONVIF or RTSP stream to whatever NVR you want to set up, including Tapo’s own HomeBase. Detection (motion, package, vehicle, person, line-crossing) are all done on the doorbell locally. It does also offer a cloud recording sub but you can ignore it

Tapo D130. Works well but is not PoE (and needs approx 18V AC--can use old doorbell power line). The camera is super wide though and so things even moderately far away, like at the sidewalk in front of the house in a normal city neighborhood, are now small in the camera view. Reolink doorbell camera. Works well and one model does do PoE. BUT if you are keen on home security and want to record the Reolink's camera feed via RTSP/ONVIF, it's currently not possible despite its claim to be able to run RTSP/ONVIF. RTSP/ONVIF works but cannot be used at the same time as the camera app, which is silly (and confirmed by tech support). I went with the Tapo because of my need to record the camera feed to my NVR.
