Editorial timing, dated. We don't run price alerts.
TP-Link Tapo D230S1 Smart Battery Video Doorbell with Hub
- It saves video to a memory card in the hub, so there is no monthly fee.
- Ring's cheapest plan is $49.95 a year, so it adds about $150 over 3 years.
- A memory card is not in the box, so buy a microSD card with it.
Also fine: eufy Security E340 Dual Camera Video Doorbell if you want a second camera that looks down at parcels on the step.
The unpaid alternative
Keep your current doorbell. Have parcels sent to a free parcel locker or post office. That keeps them off your step for $0.
No commission on this line. It stays on every verdict.
How we decided
We compared doorbells sold in Australia by what they cost over 3 years, including any plan. We picked the one that saves video at home for free. On 13 November 2026 we checked that the Tapo D230S1 is on sale now at JB Hi-Fi, Harvey Norman and The Good Guys. We checked on TP-Link's Australian page that it saves video to a microSD card in the hub. We also checked Ring's Australian plan prices on Ring's own site.
In Australian shops: $150 to $230 when we checked. This is not Amazon's price. Prices move, so check before you buy.
