2K+ Wired or Battery Powered Smart Video Doorbell with Chime, D225

I’ve been really impressed with the Tapo Video Doorbell D225. The wired installation was surprisingly easy and straightforward, even if you’re not super tech-savvy. Everything connected without any headaches. The video quality is excellent—clear, sharp, and reliable both day and night. It’s a big step up from what I was using before. The app is also very user-friendly. It’s simple to navigate, loads quickly, and makes it easy to check live view or review clips without any confusion. Overall, a great doorbell that does exactly what you want it to do without overcomplicating things.

Awesome doorbell camera. The 2k quality is amazing and is just right for a doorbell camera. The settings and ability to establish alert zones so I don’t get a million notifications throughout the day is nice. The speed of getting to the video when someone comes to the door is faster than my old Nest and the fact that I can spend $60 once for a micro SD card and not $80/month for years of looping video history is amazing! I have a 256GB card and I am getting 2 full weeks of history at a time that I can review if needed. The 180° angle camera is a true 180°. I can see clearly both directions out of my front door. The price can’t be beat for how robust this is and it can operate in their app for free without any cloud storage. It was easy to install and the various adapters for positioning the camera at just the right angle was super helpful. It is a tad bulky, but I can live with that since the bulk provides an internal battery that can run for weeks if ever needed (mine is hardwired so the battery backup for a true 24/7 camera is awesome. ) the fact that it isn’t tied to the cloud is nice since it never has to deal with any network reliability. All video is stored on the micro SD card regardless of WiFi connection and once WiFi is back I can review all of the video. App is very simple and easy to use, but doesn’t lack any features. Night video was better than I expected. All around a fabulous camera!

I was recommended by a friend about her new doorbell camera and how great it was. I had been having a lot of trouble with mine so I decided to purchase this one and must I say it has nothing but good compliments about this camera. The battery life is great and lasts longer than most. When I was to go to live view the loading is very fast it doesn’t lag at all. The set up was very easy and quick and shows you step by step. Over all I really enjoy this camera I decided to get the indoor cameras as well and they also work amazing. This is worth the money

Been using this Tapo doorbell for about 3 months now with no issues. Setup was easy. We recently sold our house and am living in a neighbor's basement while we are deciding on where to purchase our new home and the camera angles work great even for this instance. As you can see from the picture, you can see from ground to upper part of the deck and up the stairs making this a great safety feature. It can be hard wired or battery. Currently we use the battery feature as there are no wires to connect it too. So far, we have only recently had to remove it to recharge. Battery length has been very good. We are also using a door bracket so that when we move, we can just loosen the bracket and remove the camera and install on our new home. Like it so much, installed one for my mother and she loves being able to see who is at the door before answering or if there is any activity in her front yard. I paied it with the the Tapo H200 base and SD card in the base for recording. If someone steals the camera, this way they do not get the recording. Also comes with a bell to pair the camera with to place on the house to hear when the bell button is pushed. The only thing I wish it come with is ONVIF/RTSP for the ability to use 3rd party recording software on a dedicated computer. However, it is a great camera doorbell for your home or business.

Can go into many details but to make short: I have had many and this is the best at any level. Best set up, view angle, connection is super and solid, response time is quick as it should. The app provided is as good as all tp-link apps: simple, easy and nice to use. It even automatically saw couple of old Kasa smart timers and added them as devices. Kasa is another tp link company. Seriously, by far the best video door bell out there.

Replaced a Ring doorbell which never quite worked right. (Voltage was a little too low for it, I think). More than anything I got tired of the annual subscription taking money (lately it's been $50/yr). This one doesn't care about the voltage and you don't have to have a subscription if you don't want to. It came online right away. Installation was straight forward except for a little trial and error with the installation plates that came with them. I ended up stacking both plates where one was for the angle caused by the siding and the other was to angle the camera towards the door a bit. The view with both plates is excellent. The functionality works really nice. Glad that when someone rings the doorbell, the app pops up on my phone and looks like a phone call coming in. That's really nice. Only thing I'd ask them to change is to have a cancel button instead of having to answer it to silence it. (Just had my first caller and I was going to walk over to open the door instead of talking through the doorbell. Would be nice to not have to answer in the app.) Another minor issue is that both my wife and I are linked to the doorbell. If someone rings the doorbell, it will ring both of our phones. If I answer it, it will continue to ring my wifes phone or vice versa. I wish they'd just silence it on both phones once it is answered in either phone - maybe with a notification that it was answered to the other phone.) I've seen this issue mentioned in forums so it is a known thing. Sound quality is good. Video quality is good. The phone software (apple iphone) is good. Nothing else to complain about. I recommend this phone without reservations.

Update: after 2 months of using it, there IS an issue I’ve discovered. At times the doorbell won’t record when someone has been in front of it. I’ll have had a package delivered but never got notified by the app that someone was there. I’ll go into the app and sure it enough it says “no recordings available”. That’s a huge flaw since that’s the whole reason someone has one of these cameras. Thank heavens it’s never been an issue yet where I needed the footage that didn’t record but I hope an update or something happens to fix this. I searched for a doorbell for probably 6 months and no I’m not exaggerating. I was strongly considering Ring but I found that there were too many negative reviews. I finally came across this doorbell and for the price and reviews, I couldn’t pass it up. To start off, it came with a wedge which normally you’d have to buy separately. It also comes with a chime where other brands have you buy separately as well. The set up was super simple and took about 5-10 minutes. The final thing that made me buy this camera was the fact that it didn’t have a subscription fee. The only reason you’d need to pay monthly is if you wanted to pay for cloud storage. It’s $3.50 a month if you want cloud storage which I will be doing so that the videos are saved on my phone/app. The picture I attached is of course the night view which I think is great. One thing I want to mention is that the picture is taken from a side doorbell. Notice how wide the angle is and I didn’t even have to use the wedge. Lastly, the app is amazing. The customization is so good! You can choose the sound that the people outside hear and you can choose the sound that plays in the house. You can customize the notifications and even how loud the sound is inside and outside. It connected to the WiFi within seconds! The quality of the camera is SO good and clear! The sound is amazing and clear as well!

The Tapo Smart Video Doorbell (2K QHD) originally met its technical specifications, providing adequate image quality and local smart home integration capabilities. However, a recent mandatory firmware update has severely degraded the device, stripping away its core alert functionalities and reducing it to an unreliable passive camera. Furthermore, TP-Link’s post-purchase support imposes predatory logistical barriers on international Amazon buyers, rendering the written warranty effectively null and void. Technical Analysis: Critical Software Regression The device operated optimally until the latest automated firmware distribution, which introduced severe code regressions that cannot be resolved via factory resets or clean reinstalls: Local API Breakdown (Home Assistant): Critical binary entities required for automation—specifically doorbell press, motion detection, and person detection—have completely vanished from the integration's entity registry. The firmware update effectively blocked local polling endpoints, eliminating advanced smart home interoperability. Hardware Chime Synchronization Failure: The RF/Wi-Fi link between the outdoor doorbell button and the indoor physical chime fails intermittently. Pressing the physical button regularly results in zero audible alerts inside the house. Push Notification Inhibition: Real-time push alerts and VoIP routing to registered mobile devices are either heavily delayed or completely dropped, rendering the device useless for immediate access monitoring. Technical Verdict: The product has ceased to function as a reliable access control or security system. It now operates solely as a passive IP camera, failing at its core advertised purpose. Support and Warranty Analysis: The Logistical Barrier Reporting this software-induced defect to TP-Link revealed an anti-consumer support structure designed to exhaust the user through financial friction: Support Redirection Loop: The customer is forced into a loop between regional support (Colombia) and originating support (US), evading technical diagnostic accountability. Cost-Negative RMA Framework: To address a 100% software-based bug, support demands a physical hardware return (RMA). International Amazon customers must pay for cross-border freight to a US warehouse, establish a US freight forwarder, and finance the re-shipping and import fees back to their country. Financial Invability: The total logistical cost to execute this warranty exceeds the net retail value of the product itself. It is financially more rational to throw the device in the trash than to pay the manufacturer to replace it with identical hardware that will update to the same broken firmware. Refund Denial: TP-Link explicitly refuses to issue direct financial refunds or Amazon credits, citing a lack of direct consumer transaction infrastructure, thereby shifting the manufacturer's liability back onto the retailer. Conclusion Strong Anti-Recommendation. If you require a doorbell that reliably integrates locally with Home Assistant, or if you are purchasing via Amazon US from an international location, avoid this product. TP-Link has demonstrated that it can unilaterally strip away core advertised hardware features via post-purchase software updates without providing a viable, cost-free remedy for global consumers.

Just awesome battery life. Had it on the front door since late Oct 25 and there is still 44 per cent battery life after 7 months!

Antes tenia un timbre Ring, no funcionaba como debía, tenia problemas de señal débil WiFi. se perdían notificaciones. Cambie a timbre TP-Link Tapo, y ahora funciona excelente, buena imagen, capta señal WiFi sin problemas y las notificaciones son inmediatas. Muy recomendado

Produit 100 % conforme à la commande, je vous le recommande vivement.

One of the best door bell in the world. Highly satisfied. Easy installation. Value for money.

Je ne suis pas arrivé a charger la batterie de la sonette pour la faire fonctionner. Pourriez vous m'indiquer la marche a suivre
