However, not every smart doorbell demands a monthly fee, such as TP-Link’s Tapo Video Doorbell Camera Kit that I’ve been testing this week.currently.

Surprise, surprise, the Amazon Alexa alerts aren’t as rich as they are with Amazon’s own Ring devices. When someone presses a Ring doorbell, it automatically shows you who’s at the door on Alexa devices with screens. The Tapo can only sound audio alerts, and you have to ask Alexa to show you the camera, which can incur a few-second delay, by which time impatient couriers may have gone.
