Replacement for Ring door bell
Bought this to replace a ring door bell. Had some difficulty setting it up, but now it is in place it seems to work ok. The fact that you can record to an SD card was the reason we chose this as a replacement

Better than its high profile competitor
I bought this because my previous doorbell camera, from a well known make, was impossible to get triggering properly, it recorded everything that was irrelevant and nothing that was important. The Tapo proved easy to install. It was easy to adjust the sensitivity, and it gives good quality locally stored videos of exactly what I need to be recorded, with very little irrelevant stuff. My only criticism is that the battery life doesn't seem very long, so a spare battery is a good investment.

Good once set up.
Overall we are pleased with the video doorbell. The setting up process was difficult and unclear when following the code scan included in the package. It was better on the Tapo app but still frustrating. We had to use the ethernet cable to connect the hub as our WiFi wasn't good enough to allow wireless connection which we would have preferred. Having said all that we are pleased with the picture it produces. Haven't assessed the battery life yet as only just purchased.

Good purchase
Brought this to replace a previous subscription door bell. Its great works just the same but with a one off payment rather than a monthly subscription, saving in the future. The app is simple to use, the set up was pretty easy altho did take me a while to connect up and had to play with the settings as the battery was draining fast due to it waking up to often but it was easy enough to change settings. Its a good and clear picture, good purchase

Doorbell
Bought a week ago. Took a while to set up but it does what I want. Worked perfectly well when raining. Notifications are on time. Visibility and resolution is very good. There are options for detection of objects. The battery takes several hours to charge first time. It may need charging sooner than anticipated.

Hello Alex,
The Tapo D230S1 video doorbell cannot be charged directly from a solar panel using a USB micro connector because it lacks a compatible charging port for solar panels.
Thank you for using Q&A.
Hi,
For the battery-powered doorbell, you can go to the Tapo app > doorbell's Device Settings > Storage & Recording > Clips Settings page to customize the length of the video clip, and the maximum value is 120 seconds. The length setting applies to the video clips stored on the SD card and cloud server.
Thanks for using Q&A.
Hello Nods.
After checking with our supplier, they have advised for Tapo D230S1 2K 5MP Video Doorbell with Battery & Chime.
Yes, you can! Here are two ways to do it:
Method 1: Log in with the same account on both devices
Simply use your primary/owner TP-Link account to log into the Tapo app on both your phone and tablet. This gives you full control over the doorbell on both devices simultaneously.
Method 2: Share the doorbell with another account
If you prefer to use separate accounts on each device, you can share the doorbell with up to 5 additional TP-Link accounts. Keep in mind that shared accounts have limited permissions — they can access Live View, two-way talk, voice call, pan/tilt control, and SD card playback, but cannot access Tapo Care cloud storage or change doorbell settings.
A few things to note:
1. For account security, it's recommended to only log in on your own personal devices.
2. You can enable Two-Step Verification in the Tapo app for added security:
3. Please make sure both your doorbell's firmware and the Tapo app are up to date for the best experience.
Thank you for using Q & A.
