Best praise vs top criticism for TP-Link Tapo D225
“Tapo makes same pretty decent stuff. For the doorbell, I'd go with the Tapo D225 over the D210, since it has a bigger battery built in (less charging). The Tapo C460 is one of the best solar cameras out there right now, since it allows for 24/7 recording. If you want some reviews of both products [Tapo C460](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mb0DPj9cuRc) [Tapo D225](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bclt9aOA1Sc)”
