2026 verdict
TP-Link Tapo D210 wins this subscription-free comparison on cost and endurance, running six months per charge against 90 days, recording 2K to a microSD card you supply, doing person detection on the device, including the indoor chime that most rivals sell separately, and adding automatic replies, colour night vision from built-in spotlights and IP65 sealing, all at a lower price. aosu Video Doorbell R1 Ultra answers with the better camera and network, a 5MP sensor with a 166 degree diagonal view against 160 degrees, dual-band Wi-Fi where the Tapo is 2.4 GHz only, radar plus PIR and AI detection, customisable motion zones and an included base station holding 60 days of events, plus the option of wired power that the Tapo does not offer at all. Package and familiar-face alerts on the aosu need a plan. Buy aosu Video Doorbell R1 Ultra for resolution, 5 GHz Wi-Fi and a wired install; buy TP-Link Tapo D210 for the longest battery life, a chime in the box and the lowest price.
