    This is my third camera. A lot easier to use than the traditional camera. I like it because if I’m in the backyard they can ring the doorbell, added plus is local storage or optional hub storage. Still get notifications just like traditional cameras. Price was way lower

    The setup instructions are not as detailed as I would have liked, but once you figure it out, it's great. Maybe more pictures would help or an QR code to an instructional video.

    I've set zone to smallest area of detection and still the battery lasts about a day and a half. Video, etc are good but I'm not recommending this only because of how long the battery lasts.

      Hi IRINAP,

      Thank you for your review. To maximize your Tapo Video Doorbell's battery life, we highly recommend optimizing its detection settings, detection zones, detection sensitivity, and wake-up sensitivity. All of these settings are conveniently and intuitively accessible via the Tapo app. Once these settings are optimized for your specific needs, your doorbell's battery life may improve significantly. If you would like assistance adjusting these settings, our support team is always available and happy to help via phone, live chat, or email using the resources in the Support Portal on our official TP-Link website: https://www.tp-link.com/us/support/contact-technical-support/

      Best Regards,

    Was hoping this camera would be the one to check the boxes i was looking for: local storage, sensitive to movement, early capture, and good interface. It doesn't pick up animal movement, misses capturing the beginning of events, as well as regularly missing events entirely! I hate to say it but I might go back to my original Nest doorbell even though I don't like my recordings to live in Google's database. Nest picked up everything at the beginning of the event!

      Hi kc3990,

      Thank you for your review. To help ensure the D205 captures the moments you want, we recommend modifying its detection settings, zones, and/or sensitivity settings to help optimize it for your specific needs. We also recommend making sure your Tapo app and Doorbell firmware are fully updated.

      Our support team is always available and happy to assist with any questions you may have about our products. Feel free to contact us through any of the resources provided with the product or on our official website, and a Support Agent will follow up with you directly.

      Thank you,
