The media could not be loaded. I bought an Annke video doorbell originally as the Annke CCTV I have is faultless. Disappointing, sent it back - 'nuff said. Having seen the excellent reviews for the Tapo TD21 on Amazon and YouTube, I decided to order it. Where do I start? First and foremost, it's super easy to set up. The still images and video quality are razor sharp and the viewing angle (fully adjustable), is wider than most. And, unlike a lot of other video doorbells out there, you don't have to take out a subscription to access all the fully customisable features, they come as standard. Yes, you can opt to take out a subscription, but I chose to install a micro SD card instead, which captures events perfectly. Detection-wise you can set it to any combination of motion, person, pet and vehicle. Battery life is pretty impressive, too. Since fully charging it and installing it some several weeks back, it's at 87% and that's after having a good play about with it, tweaking all the settings. An excellent mid-entry video doorbell from Tapo range and reasonably priced - great functionality and, of course, peace of mind. Best of all the Amazon delivery drivers use it! If If I had a gripe, it would be it's not available in black. All in all a neat video doorbell - thoroughly recommended.

I didn't think this would work as the distance from my nearest Deco node was quite far but surprisingly it did. The signal it receives isn't great but it still functions as normal. I can talk to whoever presses the bell and record motion using an sd card. Battery life is pretty good too, having only had to charge it once but I suppose that depend on how many times motion is triggered which is pretty much a lot as unfortunately it does pick up some surrounding bushes outside of my gate. It does differentiate between people and cars which is great, notifications are sent immediately so you know when someone or something is at your property. Depending on the signal there has been a little bit of video lag but overall it has worked fine and a great addition of extra security. It also comes with an indoor chime, easy to pair with the doorbell and works a treat, great to have the added sound alert.

Really good camera for the price that's has both pros and consPros:Brilliant and clear picture for both day and nightOption to turn on light if anyone approaches the propertyReasonable prices if you opt to subscribeWall mounted installation is very easyComes with wedge so you can angle it depending on your front/back of house layoutEasy to view recordingsComes with an indoor plug in speaker which has different volume settingsVoice activation to speak the person outsideEasy to remove to chargeCons:Battery life is nowhere near 6 months - even with adjusting sensitivity and distance I think you will probably get about 4-6 weeks out of it before it needs to be chargedThe app and connecting is not the easiest and takes some fiddling around with on both installation and different settingsCharging time is minimum 8 hoursThe pros definitely our way the cons so I would definitely recommend it especially for the price.

I bought this doorbell to replace a well known doorbell which kept dropping out from my WiFi which has an excellent signal, even though the doorbell was only 4 meters from my router.Their customer service response was to buy a WiFi booster, which is not very helpful and costly, even though I have to pay nearly £50 a year to get the activated video.I chose this video doorbell as it had good reviews and takes an SD card to record various actions and, best of all, an excellent price and no annual fee.I can’t be more pleased with my purchase. The original doorbell took a number of seconds before it warned me of any movement etc. This is nearly instantaneous and the quality is excellent.You can programme it individually for Motion, Animals, Vehicles and People, and change sensitivity and distance easily. When the bell is operated it gives alerts my phone immediately, allows me to see who it is, and converse with them if I need to.It is relatively easy to set up and connect to Alexa.All in all an excellent quality product.

I thought that buying a video doorbell would be a simple process. The usual brands selling in excess of £100 withIndoor chime extra all seemed to require a power supply of some kind. So I looked at Tapo £50 quid including chime and thought why not.When the package arrived I was extremely impressed with the quality and presentation and the fact that everything covering all of the installation options were included. The doorbell itself is a high tech well made piece piece of kit and the indoor chime is compact and unobtrusive.Installation was simple as I already had the Tapo app covering cameras at another location and it was just a case of + Add a Device and follow instructions.Having got the doorbell up and running I then experimented with various locations around my front door. My door is set back within a closed sided porch and as such gives the camera a very limited field of view. Having tried both sides of the door , with and without the wedges I decided to drill fix and mount it sideways (without wedge)onto the sidewall of the porch.The result was perfect , not only could I see the face and profile of any caller , I could see the front door and step, driveway and gate , letterbox , glass and key hole. This doorbell camera was also able to detect person activitywalking up from the driveway , which is something my external (well known brand) couldn’t do.

Was easy to install and the angled mounting plate was very useful to fit on the wall at the side of the door. The camera angle is wide and the picture is crisp. Even the night vision is great. App is easy to install and you can get the bell ring and view the camera remotely from anywhere using the Internet. You can install the app on as many smartphones as you want. More than 3 weeks and the battery has 78% charge remaining. Could not ask for a better product.
