Smart doorbells are a must-have for any home security system, keeping tabs on people, packages, pets, and more. Some smart video doorbells need a battery boost every few months or require a wired connection that some homes don’t support. Tapo offers a solution.

Tapo Video Doorbell D225 Review – BEST Smart Doorbell in 2024?

TP-Link’s Tapo brand today introduced two new smart video doorbell options in a press release sent to Lifewire, the Tapo D225 and the lower-cost Tapo D210. Both come with a host of features at no extra cost, including AI detection, microSD storage, two-way audio, and voice assistant compatibility.

The more expensive Tapo D225 records in 2K QHD resolution with a 180-degree FOV and supports color night vision with a built-in spotlight. It supports two power options; when wired, it can record all day, every day. Always-On mode also supports Pre-Roll, which means it records motion events before the motion is triggered, providing up to four extra seconds of video. The other option is battery-powered; the 10,000mAh battery in this video doorbell is said to last up to eight months on a single charge.

The company’s other new smart video doorbell, the budget-friendly Tapo D225, is powered by a 6,400mAh battery, so it doesn’t offer 24/7 recording or Pre-Roll. Otherwise, both doorbells offer the same features at no extra cost, including AI detection, up to 512GB of SD storage, a Wi-Fi-enabled chime, and Google Assistant and Alexa compatibility for seeing who’s at the door on your smart display. Tapo Care is available for 30 days of cloud storage, but it does cost extra.
