Tapo’s new flagship doorbell camera does more for less
It even comes with free gecko alerts
I’ve been testing the D225 for about a week and have been impressed with its daytime video quality, wide 180-degree field of view, and square head-to-toe aspect ratio that shows my entire porch without too much of a fish-eye effect. Power: Built-in 10,000mAh battery, with the option of wiring to trickle charge (8-24V) Field of view: 180 diagonal / 140 vertical Aspect ratio: 4:3 Video Quality: Up to 2K Dimensions: 5.91 x 1.97 x 1.51 inches Connectivity: 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi Smart alerts: People, Packages, Animals, Vehicles (free) Chime: Includes a plug-in chime, can work with existing chimes Cloud service: Optional, Tapo Care, starts at $2.79 a month Rich Notifications: Yes, with Tapo Care service Local recording: Yes, to a microSD card up to 512 GB (not included) CVR: Yes, when wired Pre-Roll: Yes, when wired Smart Home: Compatible with Tapo, Amazon Alexa, and Google Assistant The D225 lacks the more refined video and precise alerts that more expensive competitors such as Ring, Nest, and Ecobee have, thanks to features like radar motion detection and more advanced AI.
