    Just What a Doorbell Cam Should Be

    I bought this as a replacement for a better known doorbell camera. This item was a very reasonable price and does all the same things as a more expensive brand. I am betting that Iay receive better support from TP-Link if needed, as well

    Great Value and Easy to Use

    Excellent value for money, easy to set up and use. To make it perfect, it could include an internal speaker for communication, but for the price, there’s nothing to complain about. We are very happy with it.

  • Does it have motion detection or does the doorbell have to be rung to activate? Can i use my phone to check anytime anywhere? Does it send motion activation to my phone immediately?

    The doorbell detects motion using its PIR motion sensor. Depending on the detection sensitivity and other settings you choose in the Tapo app, the doorbell may wake and record more or less frequently. Yes, you can use your phone to check the live view anytime, anywhere, as long as both the doorbell and your phone are connected to the Internet. Detection Notifications can be configured using the Tapo app, so you receive notifications for what you care about most.
