Troubleshooting
Doorbell not powering on
Verify that the circuit breaker is switched on. Ensure the wiring is securely connected to the doorbell terminals and check that your existing doorbell transformer provides sufficient voltage (typically 8-24V AC).
Cannot connect to Wi-Fi
Confirm you are connecting to a 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi network, not 5 GHz. Ensure the Wi-Fi password is entered correctly and that the doorbell is within range of your router. Restart your router and the doorbell.
Poor video quality or lag
Check your internet connection speed. Ensure the doorbell is not too far from your Wi-Fi router. Consider upgrading your router or using a Wi-Fi extender if signal strength is weak.
Motion alerts are too frequent or not triggered
Adjust the Activity Zones within the Tapo app to focus on important areas. Fine-tune the Motion Detection Sensitivity settings. Ensure AI detection is enabled and configured for the types of alerts you want.
Audio is not working
Check that the microphone and speaker are not muted in the Tapo app. Ensure the app has permission to access the microphone on your smartphone. Test the audio using both two-way talk and quick responses.
