TP-Link - Tapo Battery/Wired Smart Video Doorbell 2K 5MP with Chime - No Monthly Fees - Black/White

I purchased the Tapo doorbell and am extremely satisfied with the product. The build quality is excellent, and the modern design blends perfectly with my home’s entrance. Installation was quick and easy, even for someone with no experience with smart devices. The Tapo app is intuitive and offers amazing features, such as real-time viewing and instant notifications when someone rings the doorbell. The video quality is sharp, even at night, thanks to the night vision. Additionally, the two-way audio system allows clear and seamless communication with visitors. I highly recommend this product to anyone looking for a reliable and feature-rich smart doorbell. Great value for money!

I upgraded from a Kasa Smart Video Doorbell Camera Hardwired w/ Chime, 2K to this. It is a much better doorbell. The live and recorded videos load quickly, without lag. Detection zones work well. After some configuration, I stopped getting unnecessary detections and notifications. The lens isvery wide. It can show packages placed on the porch floor very close to the camera. The downside is the expected image distortion at the periphery. But it is not too bad because it is not a camera for nice vacation photos.

Tapo is a great line of smart home devices. The hardware works seamlessly and the set up process hold your hand through it all. Generally speaking, you cannot go wrong with them. But what you can go wrong with is the adhesive mount that they offer you. I have also tried this on the Tapo TC 85. The sticky adhesive is not strong enough. I cannot drill holes in the wall because I am renting my place. After taking great care with ensuring that I wiped the surface I mount it on, I applied pressure for well more than the 15 seconds it suggested. It looks like all is well. It lasted about 12 hours and following a round of rain, I wake up in the morning to find the camera on the ground and a fresh scratch on the lens. Meanwhile, the Tapo support has been very slow to address my case on this. So while the camera itself is great and it is even better to have the option for power as well as battery, the support not so. I am hoping that we can get a replacement unit but I believe that I am going to be stuck with one that has a scratched lens. With that said, if you are in a similar predicament where drilling holes in the wall is a no no, you should definitely pick up your own adhesive strips and mount the camera that way. I found some other 3M adhesive that is good for over 20 pounds plus And we have already had two rounds of rain. The camera has remained steady on the wall just fine.

Neat little product, quite pleased. Install was a bit challenging as it replaced an existing wired door bell mounted to the lap siding; limited options to set the product flush to the siding, so bit the bullet and left the gaps. So far, no issues after some 2 months in service. Activity zones are generous, the device was picking up headlights from a road through the woods! So, we reduced some zones. Motion sensing picks up the swaying chimes; not sure what to do about that. Overall, exceeded expectations. One downer, we lost access to the camera when the internet went down suggesting the feed goes somewhere else before it gets to us; not comfortable with that but not a fatal concern. Regardless, notifications are prompt when activity is sensed. We would like to add another chime for our home but are unable to find one; unfortunate. The only options appears to be with one of the Tapo hubs, which we may go with anyway.

Good doorbell camera. Getting use to fish eye view. Loke the phone feature, it seems to work better than the microphone option.
