Description

With the Tapo D230S1 smart video doorbell, you always know who's calling at your door. With the built-in 2K camera, you can see razor-sharp who's in front of your door. Even when you can't go to the front door or aren't at home. The smart doorbell has an adjusted camera sensor, so you can see more higher up. This means that you see people from head to toe, which isn't the case for many other video doorbells. You can store the footage of people who pass by or that ring the bell on an SD card or in the cloud. The doorbell can distinguish between people and vehicles, so you don't record too much footage.

Our expert review

Sharp image and easy installation despite size

• Easy and quick installation
• Local storage thanks to included bridge
• Built-in gong
• Large compared to other doorbells

With this Tapo doorbell I can see every detail of people who come to the door. The installation is easy, but the doorbell is a lot bigger than an average doorbell.

Easy installation, but large size
The installation of this doorbell is very easy. I first install the Tapo app on my smartphone. This shows step by step how to set everything up. First I install the supplied bridge, which is very quick. With the supplied cables I connect it to the router and the socket. The doorbell itself works on a battery, so I don't have to deal with wiring.

I choose to screw it to the wall. The box also contains a strong adhesive strip, so if you prefer not to drill holes, you can stick it on. However, this bell is very large, a lot bigger than comparable doorbells. As a result, it does not fit on my door frame, for example.

Image storage and notifications
I store the recordings of the doorbell on the bridge, on which I can store up to 512 GB of images. Cloud storage is also possible, but I choose local storage. For this I put an SD card in the bridge. I watch the images via the app and watch live with the doorbell camera. When someone rings the doorbell, the app sends me a notification. The bridge also makes a loud sound when someone presses the bell. I find that very useful, because it means I don't have to keep the sound on my mobile on all the time. I can easily adjust the volume and ringtone via the app.

Every detail in view
This doorbell films in 2K quality. This way I can see every detail of people at my front door, even when I zoom in. Even in the dark I still have a sharp image. I choose infrared image, which means the images are black and white at night. If you want color images, you can also turn on the built-in lights.

The doorbell films a small part of the sidewalk in front of my house, so I set a privacy zone. This way I only receive notifications of movement in that zone. Thanks to the smart recognition, the doorbell knows the difference between people, animals, packages and vehicles, so I get very specific notifications. Because the doorbell has a large viewing angle, I also use it as a security camera for my front garden. I can see people from head to toe and most of my garden is also in view.
