I've been really impressed with my Tapo doorbell so far, honestly! The motion sensor on this thing is super sensitive, so I never miss a package delivery or visitor. Plus, the battery life is amazing; I only need to charge it every few weeks, which is a huge win. Setting it up was a breeze too, and the video quality is surprisingly good for the price. Overall, I'd definitely recommend this smart doorbell to anyone looking for a reliable and affordable option.

I was after a new Doorbell to replace my existing one with an expensive subscription, trying to find the one with the best reviews I opted for the Tapo D235. First impressions are it's a good replacement and within 2 yrs it'll of paid for itself. Easy to set up, picture quality on a par with my previous doorbell, but it has a much wider angle showing further down the street. At first it wouldn't connect to Alexa, but just did a fresh install of Alexa on another android device and it now works fine accross all my devices. I read on another review that you can only have the one master account on one device, this is easily resolved by using the same log in details over a number of devices. App seems ok, no adverts like reported on some other apps apart from it asking you use the cloud storage. Time will tell if this is a good investment but first impressions are good. Edit...A week on, after a few tweaks I've now managed to stop all false alarms without missing the notifications that matter. Would give It 6 stars if I could.

I had been comparing many doorbells and found this Tapo D235 doorbell which after a recommendation of tapo doorbells from a CCTV security company, having owned a previous indoor tapo camera and noting this doorbell can be powered from existing doorbell wiring, I decided to buy it.In the box comes the doorbell itself, a chime, 2 types of wedges and backing plate, charging cable, jumper cable to bypass the existing chime, wired to extend the doorbell wiring, adhesive strip screws and installation guide.Installing the doorbell can either be stuck to the wall using the supplied adhesive strip or in my case drilling holes and screwing in the back plate and wedge (optional). The doorbell then clicks onto the back plate.Before touching any wiring the doorbell needed to be switched off at the circuit breaker.Once the back plate was fixed on to the wall I connected the 2 existing doorbell wires to the 2 screw points at the bottom rear of the doorbell. Next I had to bypass the existing chime as I wanted to power the doorbell from the existing wiring. This was a bit tricky as the wiring for my chime didn't look like the guidance from tapo. After as few tries it was up and working and the tapo app does tell you if it is actively being powered from the hard wiring or the battery.The app is useful as it guides you through this setup and once done helps you configure the doorbell itself.Operating the doorbell over the last week I've found the doorbell was highlighting motion outside of the boundary areas I setup. What mostly fixed this had been reducing the sensitivity of this event type and found you can re-assign events it's found to re-train the doorbell AI. Other than that I've also managed to connect my Google mini and other phones to receive notifications from the doorbell. Note the Google mini also sounds the chime. The video quality both day and night is good and I can make out people, cars etc clearly.Few things to watch out for. The battery is internal and cannot be replaced like other tapo models. If hard wiring check your chime and online YouTube videos to see if you'll come across any issues. If you need extra chimes currently you cannot buy any and it's not clear the tapo hub which has a chime supports this doorbell. The doorbell needs a stable WiFi connection as my mobile 5G router didn't work well with it but the broadband one did.Overall I'm happy with the doorbell and would recommend it.

Purchased in August along with 2 Tapo CW520 cameras, a H100 and H200 hub.Setup was simple although we also had to drill another hole to hardwire the camera.Comes with as many features as the Google nest doorbell camera that it replaced but with better quality picture.Offers fantastic value for money, especially when purchased at the sale price.Motion detection is rapid, especially when hardwired.Really can not fault this camera, I have the chime setup in the kitchen, the H200 set up in the living room (with the SD card) and the H100 set up in the bedroom so that I can hear the doorbell ring throughout the house.The Tapo app is also really good and easy to use, in summary it is a fantastic camera and saves me having to pay Google £8 a month for their subscription, so selling both my Google cameras and the lack of subscription means that it will have all paid for itself within a six months

Best door bell camera I have ever purchased or used. Set up was a bit of a pain, but was because I did not understand what I needed to do. Once I sat down and read the instructions it was all good. App is easy to use. I purchased a storage card so no need to sign up to a subscription. Can use wired or battery recharge. I wired it up by buying an compatible PowerPoint.

This is a great video doorbell. With a lot of flexibility to use as battery or wired doorbell. This is my replacement for a 4 year old ring wired doorbell. I love the fact that it will suit any situation maybe you don’t have wiring it has a big battery, or you have wiring and you can hardwire. Maybe you don’t want to pay for a subscription anymore in which case your can use an SD card and record locally. The app is great and will initiate a call to your iPhone when someone rings your doorbell. The quality is great and you can also record 24/7. It has all sorts of detection categories and colour night vision. I found the audio clarity is excellent too. I also got it working with an echo show via the Alexa app. Tapo have made a seriously good product here, so forget those subscription doorbells and get this one.
