A tall aspect ratio shows the parcel on the step, not just the face · review
A doorbell that works either on its 10,000 mAh battery or wired to an existing 8–24 V transformer — and when wired, TP-Link states it records pre-roll, the seconds before the trigger.
The conclusion The doorbell to buy if there is already a wire. Pre-roll is the feature no other doorbell in this hub states.
There is one thing a battery doorbell structurally cannot do, and this doorbell can — provided you give it a wire.
A battery doorbell sleeps. It wakes when something triggers it, and by then the person is at the door. The clip starts with a stranger already on the step.
Wired, this bell records the seconds before the trigger. That is where the useful information lives: which way they came, whether they tried the handle first, whether they walked past twice, whether there was a second person by the gate. TP-Link states pre-roll is supported on hardwired installation only, and that sentence is the reason to run the wire.
It still works. A 10,000 mAh cell, a 180° diagonal view head to toe, 2K at 5 MP, and detection that classifies people, pets, vehicles and parcels. TP-Link states 210 days per charge without publishing the daily event count behind it, so we report the claim and not a converted figure.
A card of up to 512 GB, sold separately, or the Tapo Care cloud. Local storage with no monthly fee is the structural difference between this doorbell and the ones in the same hub that only record on a subscription, such as the Ring Battery Doorbell 2K.
TP-Link states color night vision with a spotlight, two-way audio with a voice changer and recorded quick replies, activity zones, an anti-theft alarm if someone tries to remove the doorbell, an IP66 housing, an included chime, and Alexa and Google Assistant support.
Any house with an existing bell transformer. If there is a wire, this is the doorbell.
Listed but with no offer on the American Amazon store — the reference exists there and nobody is currently selling it.

It is the few seconds recorded before the event that triggered the bell. Battery doorbells cannot do it — they are asleep until something wakes them — so the clip begins with somebody already at the door. Pre-roll shows the approach: which direction they came from, whether they tried the handle first, whether there were two of them.
No. It runs on its battery, and TP-Link states 210 days on a charge without publishing the daily event count that assumes. But pre-roll and never charging are both wired-only benefits, and if a transformer already exists, using it is the better installation.
TP-Link states 8 to 24 V. Check your transformer before ordering. The listing mentions an included chime but says nothing about a bypass module for an older mechanical chime, so check before wiring it in.

2.5K 5MP · 166° wide · night vision · two-way audio with voice change · chime included
A 5 MP doorbell on a 166° lens with a chime in the box and a voice changer on the two-way audio. BOIFUN states human detection and Alexa compatibility through its own skill.
Best for: A house where the doorbell must be audible indoors without buying a separate chime.
2K 4MP · 150°×150°×180° 1:1 view · HDR · local person, vehicle, pet and parcel detection · dual-band
The second-generation battery doorbell: the same square head-to-toe frame with HDR added, and detection that Reolink states runs locally on the device rather than in a cloud service.
Best for: A bright doorway where a caller is backlit, and an owner who wants nothing leaving the house.
2K 4MP · 1:1 head-to-toe aspect · dual-band Wi-Fi · card to 256 GB · two charging methods
Reolink uses a square 1:1 sensor rather than a widescreen one, so the frame is as tall as it is wide and shows a caller head to toe with the step included. Local storage to 256 GB, with no subscription required.
Best for: A doorstep where the parcel matters as much as the caller.
