Our take on the TP-Link Tapo D205 Battery Video Doorbell

The Tapo D205 is a battery-powered video doorbell from TP-Link's budget Tapo line. It runs on batteries so it needs no doorbell wiring, records in 2K and works with Alexa and Google Assistant. It suits renters and anyone who wants a smart doorbell without an electrician. It undercuts wired rivals like Ring and Nest on features per dollar, but it is a battery model, so expect to recharge it and accept slightly slower response than wired units.
