A: Hi Tammy, If by 5G you mean a 5 GHz Wi-Fi network, this Tapo Smart Video Doorbell supports only 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi connectivity. However, if you have a 5G Internet connection but your router supports 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi, the doorbell should be able to join your network as long as your router's Wi-Fi signal reaches it.
Q: Can this connect to a nvr using onvif & can it stay plugged into the charger?
A: Hi Monte, The Tapo D205 is not designed for RTSP/ONVIF due to its battery operation.
Q: “Can you clearly identify people in the recorded videos?”
A: Hi Kugz, The Tapo D205, with its sharp 2K resolution video, is designed to provide clear footage of your front door area, day and night. For optimum clarity, you can adjust the video and recording settings directly within the Tapo app.
Q: Can it be powered by existing doorbell wires
A: Hi, The Tapo D205 is battery-operated only. For a doorbell that supports wired power using your existing doorbell wires, we recommend considering our Tapo TD25 Smart Video Doorbell: https://www.bestbuy.com/product/tp-link-tapo-battery-wired-smart-video-doorbell-2k-5mp-with-chime-no-monthly-fees-black-white/J39QK2Q9XT
