Tapo has rolled out a fresh batch of smart video doorbells, with the Tapo D225 taking the spotlight as the brand’s first dual-powered option with around-the-clock recording. If you’re feeling thrifty but still want to up your front-door game, the Tapo D210 brings some serious features without lightening your wallet as much.
The Tapo D225 offers a pretty sweet deal when it comes to flexibility. You can roll with the wire-free option powered by a beefy 10,000mAh battery that might last longer than some relationships (up to eight months) or hardwire it if you’re into commitment. There’s an Always-On Mode, which gives you the option of pre-roll recording—grabbing up to four seconds of video before anything happens—or full-on, 24/7 recording if you just can’t get enough footage of your doorstep.
The 2K QHD resolution and color night vision make sure your footage is crystal clear, even if your neighbors insist on approaching in the dead of night. Free AI detection helps you keep tabs on everything from packages to the pizza guy who seems to ring the bell three times just to be sure.
For the budget-conscious, the Tapo D210 is a solid alternative. It shares many of the D225’s core features, like AI detection, support for local storage up to 512GB (which should be enough to document all of your Amazon packages), and compatibility with Amazon Alexa and Google Assistant. Both models come with the Ring Call feature, letting you answer the door via your phone—perfect for those days when you’re not feeling the whole “getting up off the couch” thing.
To sweeten the deal, Tapo is running a limited-time promo with 15% off both models on Amazon using the code 15TAPODOOR. The Tapo D225 is up for grabs at $74.99 (regularly $99.99), while the Tapo D210 is yours for $44.99 (regularly $59.99).
