I'm thinking the D225, just because of the wider camera angle. I think it's important to remember when talking subscription services and security cameras that things can change over time. Look at ARLO, they lured so many consumers in with their earlier cameras and systems only to then layer in paid subscription & restrictions. I love my 7 year old ARLO 2 system but when it needs replacing I will NOT be buying ARLO

I got the Tapo D225 to replace my Laview Halo One and it has been fantastic. It shows the video on my Google Hub almost instantly when a person is detected at the door. After buying it I decided to buy some Tapo light switches to replace my no name wifi switches and they are setup to come on when a person is detected. Also the 24/7 recording on the microsd is something I was looking for since the connection to my NVR from a wifi camera is always spotty.

Does both the models D210 and D225 support google hub? Any idea?

@DHL1 2 ай бұрын

@@vasuvinjarapu they both work with Google, however I didn’t mention that to have an automation run to show the camera on the screen you have to do a simple work around since these doorbells on the Google hub do not have doorbell press or person detection as a trigger. In the tapo app I have person detection and doorbell press turn on a kasa plug for 2 minutes (nothing plugged into it). I have a Google Hub automation that shows the doorbell stream when the kasa plug is on and then cancels the stream when the kasa plug is off (2 minutes timer as detailed in the Tapp app)

@@vasuvinjarapu if you aren’t worried about automation, then yes you can ask Google to show your doorbell camera and it will do it with these two doorbells pretty quickly.

Tapo D210 compared to Reolink Battery Doorbell. You can even add a Ring Doorbell to that since Ring seems to be the standard or popular choice.

@LifeHackster 3 ай бұрын

I'll probably do the D225 to other high end models of Ring and other brands in my future videos. We will see.

These look like good cameras but I’ll stick with my Eufy as I like rich notifications while still not paying for a subscription.

I received the D210 yesterday and unfortunately I've already had to organise a replacement, less than 24 hours of usage with the power saving mode enabled and way less than 300 detections or interactions and the battery is at 86%. 😮‍💨 No way I'm getting 180 day battery life at this rate, and yes I let it charge for 7 hours prior to installation and setup as per instructions. Other than the horrendous battery life I have to say this product is fantastic and currently it's available on Amazon in the UK for less than £65!!

@LifeHackster 3 ай бұрын

Sorry to hear that. I'm still at 93% ever since I made the video. Hopefully, your replacement has no issues.

Thanks@@LifeHackster, I hope so to as I really do like the app and all of the doorbells features, I also purchased the TC82 solar kit as well (after watching your recent review video) which is working seamlessly thankfully. 😇

@@LifeHackster Update on the replacement, charged for 7 hours and installed today. Been on for over 2 hours and still at 100% battery whilst in balanced mode so already a massive improvement over the first unit which was dropped roughly 1% per hour on the first day of installation. 🤞🏼😇

TP-Link sent me a email with promo code for 25% off so I got the D225 for $75, I got that one because I'm not interested in just getting clips, I want it recording all the time and with it being hardwired to the existing doorbell, I can set it and forget it and not have to worry about what the battery level is and having to charge it.

The wireless (white model) triggers too many false alerts. Tapo’s way to resolve it is to turn off alerts instead of fixing the issue with false alerts (no movement occurring but, Tapo alerts occur constantly stating movement detected)! It drains the battery and to make matters worse… it fails to alert when someone is present. 🤦🏼‍♀️
