I have this doorbell and I love it. I do have it hardwired. I also have an iPhone and on the notification, if I swipe left and click options I can mute for 1 hour or "for today". FYI. :) Great review and your instructions on each function is very helpful!
I got this doorbell, tp-link sent me email that I could get it for $75, I have it hardwired so it always on, I'm happy with the video quality and the notifications are super quick. Wish there was a option to add more chime sounds to it. The only flaw I can find which seems to me more of an app issue then the actual doorbell. I have SD card installed and set to 24/7 recording with loop recording, when the app thinks the SD card is full I can no longer view recording/events in the app, even though when I pull out the SD card I able to verify that it the doorbell is recording and doing loop recording as intended but the app won't let me view the recordings, the fix to this is that I have to format the SD card and then I can view recording again. So ultimately this seems to be an app issue rather then a hardware issue.
It is a close call for me. I get enough of my steps that I don't feel like I need the dual view of the eufy, but I do like the AI detection of the eufy in combination with the home base 3. So if you are looking to save some money go with Tapo, money is no option and you are going to get more cameras that would work with the home base 3 then eufy.
Yes, but the one problem with that is remember to turn it back on. That is the difference between snoozing for x amount of time and turning on privacy mode.

Thanks for sharing.
Excellent video! Very well done. I just got one and I will be installing it today. Did Peter pick a pack? Or a peck?
Packed a peck to pick.

How does this compare to the eufy dual doorbell camera in your opinion?
It is a close call for me. I get enough of my steps that I don't feel like I need the dual view of the eufy, but I do like the AI detection of the eufy in combination with the home base 3.

you can enable privacy mode to snooze.
Yes, but the one problem with that is remember to turn it back on. That is the difference between snoozing for x amount of time and turning on privacy mode.
Doesn’t work with mechanical chime and no downward camera is a fail 😒
Give it time I am sure they will have one too. The field of view is pretty good even without the downward pointing camera.
