D235 2K 5MP Battery Doorbell Camera Wireless,Video Doorbell Wireless

The doorbell I had before was okay, but the app was hard to understand, and a lot of times it failed to ring or send phone notifications. Since I installed this one, I have no complaints. Image quality is really good, and that includes the night vision. The app works without any issues, and it sends a notification to your phone immediately. It was easy to install, and the battery lasts a long time if you intend to use it on its own.

I had a google nest doorbell for about 5 years and with yet another price hike for the annual cloud subscription I decided to get rid of it and swap for something more affordable in the long term. I didn't have to do too much research. 1 - I have a lot of TP Link products and know they're really good. And 2 - this doorbell consistently comes in the top 5 of best smart doorbell reviews. The main thing I was looking for was a subscription free product with no adverts in the app before being able to view the footage. Now I have the D235 2K 5MP Doorbell and the Tapo app, the only thing I'm annoyed about is that I didn't get it earlier! I've hard wired mine as I already had the wires in place. (the battery life sounds seriously impressive if you don't have the wiring already in place.) But I also really like the fact that if the mains power goes down, the camera can continue to work and will record to the memory card, so isn't reliant on a constant power supply or wifi/internet to keep recording. Although the google doorbell was able to use the original/traditional chimes in the house, I haven't been able to get this to work with this Tapo doorbell - despite the instructions saying it's possible. I tried every wiring combination that I could think of, but in the end gave up on it. It's not the end of the world as the included "smart" chime is really easy to set up, is very loud (volume control within the app) and is a great replacement for the old chime. I have also connected it to my google account, so the google devices around the house also announce when the bell has been rung. As with all TP Link and Tapo products, this is an absolute breeze to set up and was added to the app within a couple of minutes. The app guides you through the physical installation and again this was really easy with all the parts and accessories you might possibly need included in the box. The whole thing was set up and working within 10 minutes. Once working, the response time to view the footage in the app is outstanding. It's so much quicker than any other camera app I have used - including Google nest, Amazon Ring, Yi/Kami and Nooie. In fact, I was so impressed it's prompted me to now replace all the various cameras I have set up around the house with new Tapo ones - and move entirely to this ecosystem. The video quality is very good and easy enough to pick up details like faces at a distance and car number plates. The Ultra-wide view is great for being able to see parcels left by the doorstep - and with ours you can even see if the door is fully shut, so when you're out you can watch back to see if the kids remembered to lock the door! Without any doubt, the night vision mode is 100% better than anything the Google camera produced. I got this during a new year sale - but like sofas at DFS, I think it's pretty rare to not find these on some kind of offer - But to be honest, I genuinely think even at the full RRP, this is great value for money. Although initial set up is very quick, there are a lot of settings to go through to get everything right and as you want it, so I probably kept playing with various settings (detection modes, alerts and notifications etc) for another couple of days. I'm still not completely happy with some of the set up - I can view the footage on my Google Hub display screens by saying "hey google show me the front door" and it shows it fine, but I cannot get it to automatically display when the doorbell rings. So far I cannot work out if this is a flaw with Tapo or Google home, but either way the integration isn't perfect. It can identify humans, pets and parcels but has no facial recognition. So you won't ever get "Joe is at the front door" announced over your smart speakers as you can with other systems like google or Ring. Instead you get a fairly oddly worded "Person moving is at the front door", which isn't the best. So I might end up turning this notification off entirely. Overall though, this bit of kit completely gets my recommendation. It's good value, exceptional quality, a really good user experience and all subscription and ad free. Perfect!

Quick set up guide is clear and straight forward. Before installing any brackets,etc you have to charge it for 6 hours using the special C connecter- you need an adapter plug - not supplied. I looked at several battery doorbell products before I decided on this one- it has 2 advantages over the rest. 1. The installation bracket is only 5cm wide - just enough to fit on my wooden doorframe without sticking out. 2. No monthly subscription- except for the One off yearly subscription offered by Tapo - but it's not mandatory like similar products and you can always cancel it at any time. Once you have synced the doorbell and chime to your home WiFi - look at the back of your sky router, installation is straight forward providing you are careful at placing the 3M sticky template supplied- best to dry fit it first then stick to template. I didn't use the wedge templates supplied as the depth of the doorbell unit + template thickness was enough to make the wide angle camera lens stand proud of the neighbouring brickwork. You can set various bell tones on the chime by pressing a button on the side. When the chime is synced with the doorbell the red light goes green permanently. If you subscribe to the cloud you get instant video storage on your synced phone which you can back check. All in all a well though out product and at a reasonable price for the amount of installation prices in the box. Only negative is the night camera is in black and white but the picture is sharp as are the recorded videos. No warning sticker for visitors in the box? Perhaps it's not mandatory in the UK. Remember to set the anti- theft button on the Tapo app and switch it on - button on back of doorbell before you click it into place on the bracket - secured with two wood screws after sticking to doorframe. Review update: if you have recently had a sky router update you will have changed your WiFi settings. The doorbell will now not work even if you reset it- flashes red - it's searching for your new network. After much searching I found the answer. If you have an Internet TV eg Samsung like me, switch it on,press the source button on the remote,sky,home,settings, status,network connection,network setup, advanced settings, check that your 'WiFi hotspots' is set to 'on' and press ' return' . This enables your router to connect to all devices within the house which will include your red flashing tapo doorbell! It will respond with ' doorbell connected' and will flash red and green alternatively to show a connection. Took a bit of thinking out but doorbell works fine now. Hope this helps for those of you who've recently changed their WiFi settings.

My 2nd Tapo camera. Easy installation, especially if using battery power, although instructions are included for using existing doorbell system and power supply. It operates on a/c not d/c! Go on line to get the full instructions for fine tuning the camera operation as the app, although a good start, does not flow intuitively and I found myself jumping back and forth trying to find stuff. The picture quality and the flexibility of use is excellent. The ability to mask off the area for different objects, ie. cars, people, pets or parcels individually is an excellent feature so you only get notifications for things you need. I have it just covering my driveway so passing vehicles do not get notified. Connecting to Alexa is a doddle. Will require permanent wiring if 24 hour recording required. Overall an excellent bit of kit and would highly recommend.

I got this one to replace the d21 I am returning as it simply missed quite a few events, identified a small garden water feature as a person, failed to catch postie, failed to catch several people we saw by our gate. so given that the much cheaper d21 is every bit a not so good as this one, I am returning the tapo d235 and getting another which hopefully will put and end to this, 3 doorbells have failed here, 2 of the them tapo. I am going to order another one and if equally as bad then it's very much the brand knocking out inferior products which I find hard to accept given all the positive reviews this model has had, fingers crossed the replacement is as good as everyone says it is, and if it is I shall come back and alter this review. Update, the new one is a country mile better than the one they sent out claiming it was a "Black Friday Deal" from where I am sitting it was a "get rid of the crap stock deal and lets pretend they are getting a bargain deal" this one cost me almost £30 more than the "black Friday" one, is it worth it? not sure but be wary of any alleged deals. Overall I am happy with the camera after comparing it for 3 hours to the previous one and so far doing what it should do. Update 4th Jan 2026, the doorbell is proving to be just as useless as the previous one, not picking up motion, people walking down the path, missing events entrirely, so now it is being returned an BE WARNED, we the customers here at Amazon will have to PAY to send faulty goods back, no free Amazon return unlike the black friday sale one which was picked up by the postman the next day free of charge. I WILL NEVER buy this brand again nor will I deal with this seller again. this review was originally 3 stars to give the benefit of the doubt over a faulty previous one, this now is an accurate review of what to expect.

I've had this now for a couple of days and it's a brilliant device, larger than an average video doorbell but it's easy to set up you just download the app and follow the steps. The image is very clear both day and night, I've watched it through heavy rain as well now. You can either hard wire it or leave it wireless. The battery isn't removable but you just remove the device from the wall bracket to charge it, I charged it to 100% before I installed it, you may need to do a full charge once a month so you can leave that on charge overnight and then slot it back into the wall bracket in the morning. It's hard to remove it from the wall bracket but I'm not bothered about that because it means it's staying in place whilst it's mounted. You remove it by inserting a small pin, much like removing a SIM card from a phone, that takes some pressure to push the pin in but it does come lose, it slots back in easy though. You can either use it as an Intercom style where you just talk through the doorbell and and when someone comes and not have it record but have live footage, you can set up a cloud storage that's less than £30 a year, or you can buy an SD memory card that will record and save it on there. To use it as the intercom style the app allows you to record and screen shot interactions very easily and it will save to your device so then it's not recording everything coming past your house, or you can set up the cloud storage that it's constantly recording or you can set it up for motioned sensor and person detection. All of this is the same easy set up and options on the app are as easy as following phone settings so it won't take long to figure out. The audio is clear, don't worry if you try the audio out in your house first and it echos, that doesn't happen once it's outside away from the bounce back of signal from your device you're using the app on, the audio is just as good and clear as any ring camera or intercom. This is a doorbell that's very flexible in terms of how you want to set it up and use it, either 100% free as an Intercom with you screen recording, buy an SD card with either constant recording or set up via the app to record certain things and times and you control the SD memory from the app all for free or you pay for the cloud storage that does it all for you. I'm very happy with this device, I got it because we have someone wheelchair bound who can't always get to the door and it's been brilliant. You also get a smaller device that you plug in that sounds the chime of the bell into the room it's plugged into when the outside bell is pressed, you can change the volume and sound between a few settings from both the phone app or the plug it's self. I've left mine wireless and stuck to the front door using the sticky pads that come in the box and even in heavy rain it's reminded solid in place. Highly recommend this little thing. You do get notifications for what you choose to set up so for everything or just a person or motion, pets, packages etc but those notifications only go into the app if you have the free version, if you want the app to send it to your phones main screen then that's part of the paid service, however you can just open the app if you're not at home and the notification is there. The camera range is great and very clear. You won't have any issues seeing or hearing from the app. Finally don't worry if you can't find the flat wall bracket that you need for installation, so in the box you get three brackets and two of those and for if you need to install it at a tilt, slant or angle. The other is just the flat bracket that you definitely need to stick or screw in (your choice, the sticker works great) and that flat bracket is what holds the doorbell, I couldn't find the bracket but it was clipped into on of the tilted ones in the box, just unclip it and problem solved, takes seconds. It connects fast and easy to both internet and Bluetooth by using in app steps, the app is compatible with android and apple without issues, the lighting is great and you can chose to have it off all the time, on all the time, the colour of the light or you just turn the light on yourself via the app or have it motion centered. I can't be happier about this product, especially if you have someone (or yourself) at home with disabilities that struggles, this is perfect for them, if they can use the app then they have a great product.

The Tapo D235 2K 5MP Wireless Doorbell is an outstanding security upgrade, offering a massive $180^\circ$ ultra-wide diagonal field of view that captures visitors head-to-toe with absolute clarity. While video doorbells across all brands suffer from a bit of smartphone notification lag, the included wireless indoor chime is a total must-have feature here, ensuring you instantly hear a ring anywhere inside the house the second the button is pressed. The massive 10,000mAh built-in battery is solid, comfortably lasting around 3 to 4 months under an average load of 15 triggers a day. However, for the best possible experience, the ultimate advice is to hardwire the unit to your existing doorbell wiring. Keeping it constantly powered unlocks premium performance enhancements—such as full 24/7 continuous local recording onto a MicroSD card and Always-On responsiveness—that simply aren't supported on battery power alone.

The Tapo D235 2K 5MP Wireless Doorbell is such a great doorbell and has been a massive improvement over the very well-known brand it replaced—the difference really is night and day. Setup and mounting beside my front door were quick and straightforward. The image quality is very good, with a sharp, clear picture, and the app is user-friendly and genuinely a pleasure to use. I’ve installed it using just the internal battery and have been impressed with how long it lasts, even with regular use. Notifications are reliable and everything works smoothly. Overall, an excellent wireless doorbell that offers great performance, ease of use, and fantastic value. I’m very glad I made the switch and would highly recommend it.

Tenho a Tapo D235 instalada há alguns meses e, no geral, estou satisfeito com a compra, embora haja alguns aspectos que poderiam ser melhorados. Pontos fortes: A qualidade de imagem é excelente - 2K 5MP oferece nitidez suficiente para identificar rostos e detalhes importantes, mesmo com alguma distância. O campo de visão amplo cobre bem toda a entrada. A detecção de movimento funciona de forma fiável e as notificações chegam rapidamente ao telemóvel. A instalação foi relativamente simples, especialmente se já tiver cablagem de campainha existente. A app Tapo é intuitiva e permite configurar zonas de actividade, sensibilidade e outras definições de forma prática. A comunicação bidireccional tem boa qualidade de áudio, permitindo falar com visitantes sem problemas. A bateria integrada garante funcionamento mesmo em caso de falha de energia, o que é uma óptima funcionalidade de segurança. A integração com outros dispositivos Tapo funciona bem dentro do ecossistema da marca. Pontos a melhorar: O principal inconveniente é a questão do armazenamento cloud. Embora ofereçam 30 dias de teste gratuito do Tapo Care, depois disso é necessária subscrição mensal para aceder ao histórico completo de vídeos. Sem subscrição, as funcionalidades ficam bastante limitadas. Seria preferível ter opção de armazenamento local (cartão SD) como alternativa. A visão nocturna, apesar de funcional, não é tão nítida quanto a diurna - em condições de pouca luz, por vezes custa distinguir detalhes mais finos. A resposta em direito pode ter alguns segundos de delay, o que ocasionalmente causa frustração quando se quer ver quem está à porta em tempo real. Conclusão: A Tapo D235 é uma campainha inteligente competente que cumpre bem as funções básicas a um preço razoável. A qualidade de imagem é muito boa e a fiabilidade é satisfatória. No entanto, o modelo de subscrição obrigatório para funcionalidades avançadas não me parece certo. Recomendo para quem procura uma solução funcional sem custos iniciais elevados, mas tenham em conta os custos recorrentes se quiserem tirar máximo partido do equipamento.

Geen Europese stekker?!

Replaced a Ring doorbell with this unit, no ongoing fees, great wide angle lens. No comparison in my opinion.

The video doorbell has helped in hearing when someone is at the door as well as identifying when Amazon makes a delivery by capturing the video to the cloud. So far, it also has helped in stopping nuisance children from knocking on our apartments doors and running away.

Ottimo campanello smart, con memoria interna, batterie e la possibilità di essere alimentato dall’alimentatore del vecchio citofono
