The quality of the camera is really nice, and I like the motion detection feature as it captures 10-15 seconds of video if anything is moving. The only problem is you need subscription to run it, you do get 30 days free trail but after that you gotta pay subscription to run the camera.

Perfect balance of features and simplicity.
Auto lock feature kills the battery, I won’t knock it for that though as that feature while being cool is ultimately unnecessary

This is an excellent door lock. Very well constructed with the end user in mind. The features are great. It's an attractive piece too. And if the battery fails, a key is provided. (It would be pretty difficult to get to that point because of the app and the alerts you will get should your batteries get low). Let me start off by saying installation was a breeze! To be honest, I barely used the assembly instructions because of how simple this lock was to install. I removed the old deadbolt on my door and installed this one in less than 30 minutes. As I mentioned earlier it's battery operated and with regular use it should last for an extended amount of time. Not too worried about that due to the Tapo app. The app allows for notifications to be set up so that every time the door is unlocked or locked a push notification is sent. The lock can be unlocked from anywhere. So if someone needs access to your home and you're not there, you can grant access. You can also give a one-time code for access. I love that feature. Password entry is available too. I like that a key is provided but having the app will allow you not to carry keys. This lock is a no brainer and very simple to use. It is highly recommended.

Nice smart door lock

I wanted a smart lock for my second door and this is a good one. I was sick of fumbling with my keys all the time and this deadbolt helps make life simpler. If your going to be unloading groceries and carrying a lot of stuff, you can unlock the door from your car! Even punching in a code is easier than using the key. (Which it still has in case the batteries die or in case of malfunction.) You can even set up different codes for friends instead of making more keys. The Tapo lock locks and unlocks quickly and I haven't had any issues so far. It uses AA batteries that should last about 6 months, I like that they chose this common size of battery instead of some odd ones you have to special order. Locking it when leaving couldn't be easier. Just one button press and it's locked. And the ability to check the door on your phone to make sure it's locked is great! Installing it was a breeze. If you can handle a screwdriver, you can install this lock. It even has a doorbell button that notifies your phone if someone rings it. The price point is great, coming in at the same price as some regular deadbolts. I highly recommend this Tapo smart door lock!

Best keypad I've had a on a door lock
|

This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.
I think the keypad is my wife’s favorite part. Our first smart lock had real buttons which was awesome, but a button was two numbers which reduces the real combinations by quite a bit. The next few smart locks we have tried all had awesome features, however for my wife they all had a fatal flaw, the keypad, all the buttons were capacitive, some with haptic feedback and some with just beeping feedback. It was easy enough for me to deal with however, she would complain the number pad never worked, for the neighbors as well. I think they would brush a different button and as they usually go between houses carrying entirely too much as multiple trips just isn’t fun. These buttons are perfect, the lock this replaced is much smaller and looks like a regular door lock but she wants to keep this one as the keypad is just better. So if the basic keypad functionality is the most important to you, this one is the clear winner in my mind as it has security and really good buttons.
It has Alexa, Google, smartthings, Siri, and ifttt integration for those of you that are interested in those things. Inviting family members or neighbors to use the app is annoying, they need to have a Tapo account before you can email them, this is really really annoying, just send an invite to create an account if they don’t have one. The app itself is more of a whole home app with a camera tab, vacuums tab, smart tab, home tab, and an account tab. When you go into the lock itself you can lock or unlock directly from the app or create a pin for someone. Because the keypad is so nice the only people you are really going to invite are admins to the door (like my wife) the rest you will just assign a permanent or temporary code to and then there is no trying to help people use an app.
Next you can go into the security function of the lock which has some nice features, there is an unlock attempt limiter that can lock out the lock for a set amount of time if the wrong code is entered a user set amount of time as well as being able to add a random number in front of and behind your code, if someone is staring over your shoulder this could be useful… or if you don't want the code numbers to be the only ones worn out eventually. This is probably one of my favorite features, not necessarily because I am worried about security where I live and someone seeing my code (half our neighbors have a code to our door) but because I know for a fact the door is awake when I walk up to it if I start with just a random number and I don’t have to re enter the code, not that that has been an issue on this one, i’m just so used it being a problem on other ones, the ability to circumvent it even being an issue is just super nice. The feature is called “Scramble PIN Code”
Overall, this is a solid lock choice and if you care about the keypad or have quite a few users of the keypad this may be the best choice.
Pros:
Keypad
“Scramble PIN Code”
Smart integrations
App works well
Easy to set up
Easy to install
Long battery life
door code history
schedulable door codes
Cons:
User invites must have an existing TP-link account

Lock died within a month

Wish I could give this zero stars. My lock entirely died within a month. Within 2 weeks of install, the batteries were at 8% battery life. A week later, I replaced the batteries, and now the lock is completely unresponsive, even with brand new batteries, even with putting the old almost-dead ones back in. Tapo's online live chat was awful. BestBuy's return policy is extremely stingy. Within a month the product completely died and they won't take it back. Stand by your products, BestBuy - you're a $14B corporation.

Reliable and Convenient Smart Lock

I have owned the TP-Link Tapo DL100 Smart Wi-Fi Deadbolt for about one month and it has been a solid addition to my home security system overall. The installation process was fairly simple. Everything included was here and it took no more than an hour to mount it to my door (standard) without needing to drill any additional holes.
From a functional perspective, I appreciate the versatility this offers. I prefer to use the keypad for entry and the jog buttons have an acceptable feel and responsiveness. I liked the backlit keys and the ability to hide my code in random numbers to enter during the darker times of the night too. I, also, like that I can remotely unlock or lock my door using the Tapo app. When family and guests arrive, I can easily create and delete different access codes to keep track of access management.
The battery life seems good, since I've used Wi-Fi mode, I have not had to change the batteries. The alerts in real-time and activity logs are a great benefit when away from home. I used the voice assistant for Alexa and this worked well, but I tend to use the app more.
My only minor dislike is that occasionally, my remote command might take a few seconds longer, but this is so small it does not make me dissatisfied in anyway. Overall, I feel the DL100 is a decent balance of security, convenience, and smart features at a great price.
