not this one - but other models do
Fantastic price!
Was $82.52
Which was already a fantastic price!
Unfortunately, the TD21 doorbell has a non-removable battery
So how do you charge it if you don’t mind me asking?
you need to remove the whole unit from the mount to charge it
What a terrible idea I reckon. You need to buy two of these if you wanna make sure you always have one on your door then.
@w02m08w: Put it in charging at night before sleep, when you know you aren't expecting visitors, and plug it back in the morning. Requires once in 6 months, not ideal but not too much trouble, still at this price and no subscription BS makes it a good deal. Definitely better products are there for this category, but not at this price
I have one, charging is not a major issue if you can take 1 hour to charge via usb-c. I was worried but found it trivial
Just a little tip, i bring a power bank and it sits on top of the unit. Charges in a few hours, doing this for 1yr since i had this, never had to take it off the wall. Battery last about 4 months for me
this or aqara g4?
Just curious how it fixes to food etc
Por qué?
i guess wood not food - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=23PYZjj0YvQ
its the same one just different name different market/country.
you can use sticker, or screw - both provided in the box
Does anyone have this and can confirm if battery life is good ?
Alot of people saying battery drops too quick
Have to charge mine about every 2 weeks.
Don't like the speaker on the doorbell as I can't turn the volume up high enough for anyone to hear me over the road. Also pressing the doorbell doesn't call your phone like I expected, so we are just using it like door bell and a security camera.
Also sends me a notification that I've drained too much of my battery every single day
Have to charge mine about every 2 weeks.
wow that is too quick, pass
Either they have a faulty unit, an old battery, high amounts of foot traffic or just watch the live feed/video recordings a lot, 2 weeks is just WAY too often.
@WinterStar: 24 recorded events yesterday (generally it's less than that)and it's less then 6 months old. 🤷
Maybe faulty idk
Ive got one .. prob charge every 4 months .. i guess it depends on how often its used and playbacked etc.
Great clear pics day and night.
Recommended.
Does it send out a notification as soon as pressed? Or is there a lag?
There can be a lag before your phone triggers. There is a remote chime which triggers quickly
It really depends on the amount of usage and foot traffic near your camera. If you stare at the live feed or watch the video recordings a lot, it will drain your battery like crazy. If people or objects get detected a lot, that will drain it a lot too. Otherwise it'll pretty much be on standby and use 1% every 2-3 days.
I charge mine every 3-4 months. I live down the end of a driveway so not much foot traffic and I don't really check the recordings unless I really need to but I also share the access with a family member that loves watching the recordings so I'm forced to charge it a bit more often than needed, so it really is case by case.
I charge mine about 3 months. You can change sensitivity to trigger camera. I'm not in a busy location so my battery lasts fine.
Does any of the tapo record few seconds before motion detection? My previous door bell used to do that and it gave a full video of everything, eg: car coming. Now with Tapo D235, it only records when car is there and in a second the car is gone. So you dont see the full video.
this cannot see a package left somehow closer below the door bell, right? the 160°DFOV Ultra-Wide is horizontal not vertical
That is correct.
If no subscribtion, where does it record if you don't mind me asking. Thanks 🙏
Edit: Nevermind, records locally on SD card on the doorbell itself so if someone just pulls it and runs away you're pretty much stuffed.
They are also having 1/2 price for prime members on the ring battery doorbell going for $75 but not sure how well these are received by the ozbees..
Can it be mounted without needing to drill holes
Yes comes with a 3m sticker. Only suitable for certain surfaces.
Great unit. For the price, good clear picture and the app is good also. Notifies within a few seconds.
Does anyone know if these battery doorbells from TAPO can also be installed to draw power from a normal doorbell wire?
- Hence not requiring the battery anymore
