    Purchased for my first security camera thanks 🙏 hopefully it covers my front yard well..
    Also there's not much stopping from someone taking the camera off the door which is abit unfortunate

      Lots of mixed feeling in this purchase, I see.

      I wonder if you drill it on the door etc. if they want to get it they will rip off if its wired-or not.

    • Larsson on 16/12/2023 - 13:30
      +1

      I mean at this point I don’t think “HomeKit compatible” means nothing really. Especially with matter coming in.

      It really doesn’t guarantee some or most of the features working, at all. It just means you can add a semblance of a device to the home app list. Most lights for example have limited controls through home app.

      But if you mean secure video, sure I wish it did. I use a pi and homebridge and direct the footage to iCloud so it still works fine. It’s relatively easy

        It says 180 days on the box for TP-Link.

        • Planky on 16/12/2023 - 21:28

          In my case the tapo battery hasnt lasted anywhere near that quoted amount.

          I bought and installed mid october with a full charge. As of today, its on 21%. I rarely check the feed, and isn't triggered often (in fact I think only two people have rung it since install). Its usually only me that triggers the motion detection.

    • prankster on 18/12/2023 - 19:44

      So I’ve have the eufy 4 cam2 pro outdoor camera but I’m changing over to Tapo outdoor camera. I live in a corner street and initially had it set so any motion (for the areas I set) I would get notified but then I just got too many notifications so I stopped.

      Eufy camera comparison for my situation
      Advantages
      1) rechargeable battery up to 1 year without recharging (supposedly)
      2) good overall quality
      3. good viewing angle

      Disadvantage
      1. for my corner location, due to the high traffic my camera power would run down easy, I might be lucky to get 2 months before I have to recharge?
      2. Sometimes the area set to record, it doesn’t pick it up straight away and also there’s sometimes lag of the videos or it skips some seconds which is annoying
      3. Limited recording due to having a Homebase which is just 16gb

      Tapo
      I’ve already indoor cameras instead mainly to see what my little boys are getting up to and their mischief lol

      Advantage
      1. Can enable continuous recording so I don’t miss anything. Ive had examples where someone had their dog shit ok my yard and eufy didn’t pick it up and police ask if I had any recorded of a car chase 🤷‍♂️ but yeah the eufy didn’t pick it up 🙄
      2. can integrate the cameras feed into my existing Tapo camera, only has 4 camera feeds on each page but that’s fine I will configure for indoor and outdoor views

      Disadvantage
      1. need to get electrician to route power for the Tapo camera
      2. The viewing angle is lower than the eufy camera so that’s a bit disappointing
      3. Quality at night (for the c325wb) whilst can generate a brighter outpost when it’s dark, I’ve found the quality is lower than eufy even though the camera has 2K or whatever is it

  • bargainfinder on 16/12/2023 - 13:14

    Do i need this camera door bell ?

    • Planky on 16/12/2023 - 21:44

      I mean, its OZB, buy it now, question later.

      Joking aside, if one of your cameras is already located near your front door, there might not be enough benefit to warrant getting this as well.

  • MilkDX on 16/12/2023 - 13:20

    Did some reading and I'm still not sure what you have to pay for to get, such as rich notifications and person detection.
    Also, apparently, it's only able to do 5 fps.

    • Thrifty McGifty on 16/12/2023 - 19:21

      Easy: put up another video camera pointing at this one, to catch anyone stealing your video camera. Thus solving the problem once and for all.

        Question: What if they steal that camera first?

        Answer: Put up another camera to watch that one.

        OP works for the TP-Link Sales department.

    • Planky on 16/12/2023 - 21:10

      The mounting plate is just attached with two screws/anchors, with the doorbell clipping into it (you need a long pin/paperclip to release it), so nothing really. Even if they didnt know how to remove it, it would only take a little bit of leverage to break it off.

    • Pikaloo on 17/12/2023 - 21:56

      There's an anti theft setting so it alarms for 15 minutes.

    Anyone currently using this? Whats the response time when the notification pops on the phone? My Tuya doorbell has massive delay and sometimes it take more than 5 seconds then I only receive the notification

    • carlitos on 16/12/2023 - 16:01
      +1

      This right here is the main concern and feature you want, I have the Eufy, by the time I get the notification the person may be heading off already.

      • onomatopoeia on 16/12/2023 - 16:12

        I would expect Eufy to be more reliable, do you think the Tapo system is more responsive or these wireless doorbell all suffering similar latency issue?

    • krisjjorgensen on 16/12/2023 - 16:17

      I have this, it's pretty much instant. Hub helps, same wifi transmission so not heading out to the cloud for notifications.

      • onomatopoeia on 16/12/2023 - 21:19
        +1

        Can you explain further? So instead of the doorbell unit calling the cloud, it calls the hub then the cloud?

    • Planky on 16/12/2023 - 21:12
      +1

      For the most part I get the notifications instantly. Leagues ahead of my old orion smart doorbell, which would only notify/start recording after the person is walking away.

  • spy on 16/12/2023 - 16:36

    This or Reolink?

    • xyzed on 16/12/2023 - 17:16

      I'd try this. I have Reolink and by the time it starts capturing footage they're inside or 1/2 way down the pathway.

      • timtam-slam on 16/12/2023 - 19:48

        same for my argus 3 reolink, only catches the person leaving the frame.

        • Prong on 17/12/2023 - 12:02
          +2

          Battery cameras are not good for rapid response. To avoid using a lot of power, the Argus 3 is basically off until triggered by the PIR sensor. It then takes it a short time to get the camera running and recording.

          Whereas an always powered camera like the Reolink doorbell camera has the camera always running, and buffers 10 seconds of video. So when it detects something, it also saves the previous 10 seconds of footage before the detection trigger.

          It uses the video stream for motion detection too, which can give increased detection sensitivity compared to PIR.

      • Prong on 17/12/2023 - 11:46
        +1

        The Reolink doorbell has the option to buffer the video, so after detecting something it records from 10 seconds before the trigger point.

        Sounds like that might be turned off for yours. That setting is not accessible via the app - you need to log into the camera interface with a browser.

        There are various options to adjust the detection sensitivity too.

      • redpen on 17/12/2023 - 23:15

        Yes, it's weird they chose not to support it. I guess it boils down to subscription fees.

        I recently got a couple of the $77 Tapo camera bargains and they're great; working well with my NAS. This doorbell would've been a perfect option.

    Price matched with JB but they insisted that the $10 delivery fee must be included in the final price. I tried to argue that I was going to pick up so it shouldn't be included but they wouldn't budge and said that was the policy. Ended up creating a new perks code with a spare phone number to bring it down to the same price.

    • p947387 on 17/12/2023 - 10:25

      I just price matched with JB also, sorry to here about the delivery fee though. I had it price matched to $119, so with the perks code I got it for $109. I also have a commbank reward for $10 back on a $50 spend, so technically $99

      • xers on 17/12/2023 - 10:41

        Yea I figured with the price match game it always depends on which rep you get. Was tempted to just disconnect and retry hoping for a different rep but it's only $10 so I just said fk it.

            @tanzy: I picked this up a few days ago and interestingly the battery out of the box was only on 55%. I did charge the battery and it did get to 100% charged. I'll see how the battery goes but for $37 I'll probably just get a spare battery. So far the door bell and features seem impressive especially considering the cost.

            • Jettblack on 22/12/2023 - 11:32
