Nice Video Doorbell Camera
The TP-Link Tapo 2K Video Doorbell is a really good video doorbell option that doesn't require a subscription. The installation is straight forward and includes multiple options, templates, and hardware for install. The doorbell unit is a little bulky. The 2K video quality is nice and has a wide field of vision. Downloading and initial configuration via the Tapo app is fairly straight forward. There are a large number of configuration options available after the initial pairing and setup so you will want to make sure you read the instruction manual thoroughly. The initial charging of the device does take quite a bit of time but will last months depending on the number of video events. Removing and charging via USB-C is also easy using the provided tool or a paper clip. Pairing of chime adapter was just as easy as the initial doorbell setup. Multiple scheduling options for recording as well as the doorbell chime. For recording, simply install a microSD card and walk through the instructions for formatting and you are ready to start recording motion or doorbell ringing events. Alternatively, you have the option for the cloud recording subscription. When the doorbell button is pushed, you can receive a call on your device or push notifications and answer and communicate clearly. Tags available for person, pet, vehicle detection. Overall, the TP-Link Tapo 2K Video doorbell is a great video doorbell option with a long lasting battery life.

Great
This thing is great so far. The setup was pretty easy and pain free. The video seems to be clear and the sound is clear as well. When someone pushes the doorbell it gives a pretty loud ring to where you can hear it almost anywhere. Definitely recommend.

Great Camera
this doorbell was easy to install and quick to set up. Took a moment to hook up the wifi, but wasn't all that hard. Camera is really great. Looks good and the speaker is good quality. Recommend without hesitation.

Tapo Video Doorbell
I've used the other doorbell and I quite prefer this one. Install was very easy. The app walks you right through it. Clarity is really good and I think that it has a wider camera capture. Unlike the other doorbell this one comes with a doorbell chime for inside the home, and it's loud. Also, there's no subscription! You will need an micro SD card though. I like it.

Wowed!
I previously had a Ring doorbell that everyone raved about, but I was never impressed with the camera quality. I decided to try the Tapo doorbell instead, and I’m so glad I switched! The video quality is noticeably clearer and sharper, even at night. Setup was quick and easy, and I love that it actually comes with the indoor chime with no extra purchase needed. Overall, Tapo has exceeded my expectations and is definitely an upgrade from Ring in both quality and value.

I like the look!
I really like the way this doorbell looks. It’s got a slight modern feel to me. Directions were laid out well and super easy to follow! Lots of different mounting options, which is nice. I am a little dubious of the 180 days charged. I’m guessing twice a year, I have to take it down and charge it. Annoying, but doable.

Tapo doorbell camera
I placed this camera doorbell at my back door. I already have a Tapo device in my house, so it was easy to set it up to use on the same app. You can attach the doorbell using included screws or stick it to a flat surface. My siding has too much texture for the adhesive, so I stuck it to the flat smooth part of the sliding glass door.

Camera doorbell with no subscription required
I love this doorbell camera. It does not require a subscription. I purchased an inexpensive micro SD card for video storage. It has a loud chime for inside the house. Once mounted by the door it is very easy to configure on the app. You can adjust the sensitivity for alerts and it can call your phone when someone’s at the door or just give you a notification. We’ve had this for about two weeks and I have no negative comments. The picture clarity is good even at night. I’ve attached a screenshot from the app.

Solid choice for budget-conscious smart home users
I’ve been adding all sorts of ‘smart’ devices to my house for years now, and I have a hodgepodge of different brands, not always the easiest to connect and reliable equipment. Among the very few brands I’ll be moving forward with is TP-Link, because I have quite a good experience with their products. I got this TP-Link Tapo TDB21 Smart Video Doorbell Camera to upgrade my previous smart doorbell, and I’m pretty happy with its features right now. As often with TP-Link devices, installation was relatively simple. The doorbell is battery-powered, so I didn’t need to mess with wiring, just needed to charge it with one of my USB-C chargers at home.I installed the outdoor doorbell and the indoor chime through the Tapo app without many difficulties, although I got confused for a while about the need for formatting the micro SD card I had inserted. You just need to be patient and wait for everything to be configured before going back to the doorbell setting to format it, if necessary - just ignore the annoying message until you get done. The 2K resolution delivers pretty good footage in different lighting conditions, and provides a 160° wide field of view, to ensure we get a full image of visitors and surroundings, I can’t wait to try the night vision and the lighting features. The app proposes a free trial of the cloud storage, but I’ll skip that, I’m covered with my SD card, no need to pay a fee or anything more.

Very Economical & Great Camera Doorbell
The video doorbell was easy to set up with your phone and wifi. The unit does not come with a mini SD card so will need to order if you would like free recording. The only issue the tutorial for the phone AP is not great so will need to figure out on your own or via videos. You only get to have one phone to control the unit, but can add other phones to view. The price is great for the starters of video doorbells, but the AP is not as easy to figure out as I hoped. I received these products for free from the Hey, Bullseye™ sampling program in exchange for my honest review

Better than Ring
Excited to set up the tp-link tall doorbell. I appreciate having no monthly subscription fee and the app seems easy to use. I have been a long time ring user and can’t wait to get this doorbell set up.

Great! But does think large dogs are humans.
This doorbell camera is pretty good! I have used a Simplisafe one previously. This one is larger than that by at least an inch. The installation was easy and I appreciate that they included a 3M sticky version, too, so you don't have to hard install if you don't want to. I do wish it had an option to connect to the wall electrical, but it seems as though the charge lasts a long time. It has incredibly clear video and a ton of doorbell sound and notification options. The only downside is that it definitely thinks my dogs are humans so I get notifications all day long (the only notification I have set is if a human is detected - everything else is off). So that's kind of annoying. Otherwise, it's great!

Works good
This is a good smart doorbell and the first one we set up from this brand. The process of setting up was easy and I didn’t encounter any issues. The device comes with a flat and wedge style mounting plate and we had to use the wedged one based on where we wanted to install it. The two-way audio is clear and loud enough to hear what is going on outside and the video quality is pretty good too. One of the best features is the ability to record on local storage as opposed to being forced into a subscription service. The device is good quality and well constructed. It’s been a good new addition to our place.

An Excellent Video Doorbell, Even for a Chicken Coop!
The TP-Link Tapo Smart Wi-Fi Video Doorbell more versatile that advertised. It works great even when installed in an unconventional spot—my chicken coop run. While I already have a traditional doorbell, the Tapo’s features make it perfect for keeping tabs on my flock. Even though it’s in my backyard, it has no issues connecting to my home Wi-Fi network and the video quality is fantastic. Installation was easy thanks to the excellent battery life (charged via USB-C cable), there was no need for me to wire the coop for power. The 2K Live View with 160° Super-Wide Angle gives me clear and complete coverage of the run, ensuring I can see every chicken and watch them pecking all about. I appreciate their detection feature, which, in my case, alerts me to larger visitors like raccoons or coyotes who are looking for a snack, providing peace of mind. The two-way audio is excellent for checking in and shooing away non-human guests without having to step outside.

Good door bell option
If you’re looking for a doorbell that also works as a camera, two way speaker, and no subscription required , this is a good option. It comes with a warranty, an app, and you do not need a subscription for its basic service and function.

High quality wifi doorbell
This TP Link Tapi doorbell was easy to install. It has a rechargeable battery. The installation was easy. It has an anti theft warning if anyone tries to take it off. The camera picks up people and movement. The video is very clear. The doorbell chime sound varies. I like that it doesnt light up until you are near it. It being wifi is great so there are no wires to mess with. The chime plugs into the wall. Set up was easy.

Good product, great price
This video doorbell has a decent camera with 160 degree super-wide angle, and 2-way audio! Battery supposedly lasts for 6 months, but we haven't had ours that long. This device can also be hard-wired. Smartphone alerts are quick. There are no annual subscription costs.

It gives me peace of mind knowing I can see who’s at my door wherever I am—absolutely worth it!
