Thanks for checking out this weeks video. What's your favorite feature and what new feature would you add? I still can't believe everything you're getting with these cameras at this price point. Check them out in the links below. ► TP-Link Tapo D225 - amzn.to/3M7FISI ► TP-Link Tapo D210 - amzn.to/4fQWanV
Got mine installed today, great door bell easy set up once the wires were connected. My problem was the short tiny screws for the wire's connections, wouldn't thread. I cut some off the longer ones that did thread and used those... Very happy with it, time will tell...
It's actually a step backward imo, viz. the Micro SD card goes into the door bell itself and not a connected hub. Anyone smashing or stealing the door bell destroys all the footage. Nice review, love from India.
You should have tested the phone call features. I believe it only records one side of the conversation. However, it was a great video as usual. Thank you.
Your right they have every feature I could want except a replaceable battery. Batteries don't last. That's why I get a new cell phone every 2-3 years is 90% because of the battery. I can't hardwire it . We have force obsolesence and throw it away and get a new one once battery no longer holds a decent charge.
Great video! I use doorbell mode for night mode settings. The spotlight remains on for me after the doorbell is pressed like I’d expect for full color mode. I think it’s glitched
Can you tell us how these compare to the Ring video wireless doorbell ? Ours are not working as good as when we first got them. They miss a lot of movement such as deliveries .
You're going to see a nice improvement in quality and features. The motion sensor on this camera is huge and should would a lot better than Ring. If you're able to hardwire it, you can take advantage of the 24/7 recording.
no subscription required. when it's wired it won't miss motion events like battery powered ones and no pre-roll with battery powered or low res pre roll.
I had e340 and just returned. The audio was choppy on the doorbell side and the motion zones didn’t really work at all. There is a slight notification delay on your phone when the doorbell is pressed. There is no preroll even though I had it wired in. So the video clips showed a person when there were already close to my door not as they walk up the wall way. Eufy support was good and offed to provide a replacement. I ended up returning instead since I already eufy spotlight camera near my door. I just switched from Ring to everything eufy. I light the video quality and the features of homemade 3 however they don’t always catch all motions properly and sometimes cut clips short too soon. I have countered this by turning on 24/7recording. Going to test some tap products and see if they might a good ground between Ring and Eufy
Hi I wish to heve more ring sounds and a password if someone steals from me to not used anymore this feature was great for cameras too! Tp-Link needs to make accessories like hood covers to protect doors bells from rain because sometimes are installed on gates houses or doors not only on apartments doors!
I love the TP-Link network I have, but I opted for the hard wired Eufy dual camera door bell camera. Provides AI and no user fee. It also comes with a very bright spot light. All in all a very high quality camera. Surprised you haven’t reviewed it. My model is T8203
They look like great camera’s. Though the cost for the Eufy is beyond what I want to pay for when I need a few for different doors. So, hopefully my TAPO D225 will suffice. Just got it yesterday.
@ I love it! It works well and my mother who I bought it for as we have had a lot of peopling coming to the door that we don't know makes her afraid since my father died. It has everything that we need. I would suggest this one to everyone. Yes it is big, but it works so good.
@@MisterPalony I hope you like it. There are so many video doorbell out there. I wish it had a bottom camera, but other than that, I'm very very happy with it. I hope you enjoy yours.
@@SteveDOES Do you have to format the sd card once it's full even though it's in loop recording mode? Cuz the app says it's probably full or not working well even when I set the loop recording mode...
@@12341walkman Your welcome. If you can't find it let me know. I tried to do it from memory. If have to I can write it down step by step, but I think I have it right. I hope you enjoy it.
I have no idea if you still have the Nest Cams… BUUUTT if you could pretty pretty please review the new ADT alarm system it ESPECIALLY test out their Trusted Neighbor feature!!!! YOURE VIDEO ROCK AND ID LOVE YOUR OPINION!!!
Happy to hear that you like my videos. I don't cover home security systems anymore but the RUclips channel Security.Org probably has some content on it.
Not the perfect doorbell, but it almost is. I miss RTSP, the ability to save my footage to an NVR and to save it to my own cloud solution and not their subscription based one. To save it to an SD-card is kind of pointless if you ask me since the bad guy just need to take the camera with him. Also I’d would love to see a version with 4K and not just 2K.
it does not have EVERYTHING i want, it is NOT Homekit Compatible, Bummer No thank you!!! but thank you for your review!! looks a bit bulky but i like 24/7. maybe it will be $99 for black friday, lol
@@SteveDOES hmmm. I have the Nest now. I don’t pay the monthly. So I don’t get all video capabilities. So maybe this would be an “upgrade”?? And isn’t the Eufy doorbell HomeKit compatible? Thinking of getting the E330 Eufy cams. But Eufy doorbell is too big and wide for the trim area I have my door doorbell at.
I picked a D225 for $75, I have couple other Kasa cameras, and they sent me a email with a "early bird" special that gave 25% off promo code on amazon.
Comment from a 30 tapo devices user from Singapore…love this tapo door bell will definitely add one to my smart home surveillance system. Oh btw, leaving the door bell outside there’s a risk someone may just grab & take it away, so imo maybe i will be installing it outside in a metal casing, only the camera & the door bell push button will be exposed. Thank you so much for the awesome review, hey your new subscriber here😉👍😍🤩😎😇🙏

I'm in the market for a video doorbell so thank you for this video. I have a lot of TP-Link devices and have never been disappointed.
You should be happy with this one too. :)

There are 2 different types of small screws. Glad to heat that you're happy with it so far.
It's actually a step backward imo, viz. the Micro SD card goes into the door bell itself and not a connected hub. Anyone smashing or stealing the door bell destroys all the footage.
Nice review, love from India.
I would love to see an in house base station too!
@@SteveDOES tapo c500 hub is coming
You should have tested the phone call features. I believe it only records one side of the conversation. However, it was a great video as usual. Thank you.
Ah, i see what you mean. Let me find out and i'll get back to you.
Doesn't turn on without a subscription to the cloud.
@SteveDOES thank you for the follow up. Your channel is really good.
@@msgajhimelret9496 you don't need a subscription to use the phone features
Can you recommend any anti-theft door mounts for this doorbell that don’t require drilling? Thanks

I can't hardwire it . We have force obsolesence and throw it away and get a new one once battery no longer holds a decent charge.
They sell battery's separately. But I haven't found replacement instructions
Haha I had same issue looking for the flat mounting base then finally found it stuck inside the angled base on the D210.
When you say hardwired you should mention if that is power and or internet. I'm more confused now, with some of these important details left out.
Can we get more than one chim? We are hard of hearing and need a ringer that we can hear downstairs or upstairs
Whats the rtsp url? Thanks
Great video! I use doorbell mode for night mode settings. The spotlight remains on for me after the doorbell is pressed like I’d expect for full color mode. I think it’s glitched
No RTSP is a bummer otherwise a pretty good doorbell
RTSP is a feature i'd like to test out.

What’s better the TP 225 or the Eufy E340 I was going to buy the Eufy until I seen this video
I haven't tested any of the new Eufy products, so i'm not sure. Someone else on here might be able to answer this better.

Hello Andrew ... i was about to buy the Eufy E340 any update on trying/using the Tapi doorbell ... thanks @andrewhernandez4469
The UK hasn't got the d225 only the d210 . Looks like the reolink as it does 24/7 and phone call and local storage. D225 looks great
I live in UK. I've ordered the d225 from Amazon USA. Works out to a similar price as d230s1 but can be hardwired.
@@ismailbozdag6726 great I have looked at doing that getting it from us Amazon. Do you get phone call notifications on it ?
Why can’t you use the mechanical chime
How far away does it detect? I got cars next to Mt house when they drive by
Tp link I love them steve
They've gradually become one of my favorite brands.

How long does it take to fully charge?
5 to 7 hours. They do sell battery's separately. But I not found replacement instructions
Does it have HomeKit secure video?
It does not.
24/7 recording to onboard sd card? Do you have to delete old footage at a certain point or does it automatically remove old after a week or month?
Yes, it records 24/7 locally to the card. You can toggle on Loop Recording where it deletes the old stuff when it's full.
@@SteveDOES Do you have to format the sd card once it's full even though it's in loop recording mode? Cuz the app says it's probably full or not working well even when I set the loop recording mode...
i have a question about the google nest hub (2and gen)
can you conect any bluetooth speaker to it that you want?
Yes, i think you can.
If it's not wired in it still records motion?
@@zachc3246 Yes
How do you change the actual time like from 3 pm to 4 pm ?
@@12341walkman Click tapo, then the camera and then I believe device settings. In there you have your time zones.

All they need now is an integrated solar powered outdoor camera 👏🏽
That would be a nice add-on.

Thanks for a good review though!
One question: does it support HDR?
How are you using RTSP? Are you saving to a NAS? I've always wanted to test that out.
This is a great question! I'm not seeing it listed on the website. I'm reaching to to TP-Link for the answer.
@@SteveDOESExactly; I would like to save it to a NAS/NVR.
@@SteveDOES I use it with Frigate NVR
My biggest fear is they pull a Wyze and add subscription on all those AI detection.
it does not have EVERYTHING i want, it is NOT Homekit Compatible, Bummer
No thank you!!!
but thank you for your review!! looks a bit bulky
but i like 24/7. maybe it will be $99 for black friday, lol
Yea, Homekit needs a good video doorbell. Not many options right now.
Also, it is $99 right now! :)

@@combat_fighter1 You can screw it in and make it a little less vulnabale. I do see you point though.

This would be a nice addition to Homekit
