It also works with SmartThings on top of the Alexa and Google Home support both share, and adds colour night vision and automatic replies. The Eufy Video Doorbell S220 is the add-on model of Eufy's line, so it needs a Eufy HomeBase, but it can be hardwired to an existing doorbell, which the battery-only Tapo cannot. Both shoot 2K, both are rated for 6 months per charge and neither needs a subscription for local recording. Pick the TP-Link Tapo D210 as a standalone, wire-free doorbell, and the Eufy Video Doorbell S220 if you already own a HomeBase or want to run it on doorbell wiring.

What the differences mean

Standalone or hub

The TP-Link Tapo D210 records to its own microSD card and needs nothing else. The Eufy Video Doorbell S220 is an add-on that works through a Eufy HomeBase, which is fine if you already have one and an extra purchase if you do not.

Chime and night vision

The TP-Link Tapo D210 includes an indoor chime and has colour night vision. For the Eufy Video Doorbell S220, the chime and colour night vision are not documented.

Platforms

Both work with Alexa and Google Home. The TP-Link Tapo D210 adds SmartThings; neither supports Apple HomeKit or Matter, and Home Assistant support is not documented for either.

What owners say

Owners of both doorbells praise the same things: local recording with no monthly fee, a sharp 2K image and battery life that lasts months. Both groups also describe two-way audio that lags. Eufy Video Doorbell S220 owners single out durability, with units still working like new after five years and still getting updates, and person detection with very few false alerts; they complain that it needs a HomeBase, that it occasionally misses an event or drops offline, and that the snooze button needs two presses. TP-Link Tapo D210 owners single out the included chime, colour night vision from its spotlights and Ring Call, which phones them instead of sending a notification. Their complaints are an Alexa integration limited to live view and detection that can miss people further down the path.
