D235- Hardwiring: Clarifying Confusing Information
Hi everyone,
Am finding out how to hardwire D235. Am uncertain which version of D235 but it's this one from Singapore (https://www.tp-link.com/sg/home-networking/smarthome-accessory/tapo-d235/)
Saw various pieces of information which seems to be confusing...
Seek advice on the following please.
1) To hardwire D235, are we able to directly connect a power adapter or need to go through a transformer?
2) For the version sold in Singapore, does the D235 accept AC, DC power supply or both are acceptable by D235?
3) what's the power required by the D235?
4) Can a hardwired D235 record 24/7 continuously and save to H500?
5) Does H500 need to be connected to the router via Ethernet or wifi?
6) Does D235 connect to H500 direct or go through router?
Saw info here https://community.tp-link.com/en/smart-home/forum/topic/717438?sortDir=ASC&page=2 but the Singapore store page doesn't point to the datasheet. So am confused which info to refer to.
Thanks! Apologies for the many questions!
Tapo D235 supports both AC and DC inputs. You can choose the most convenient hardwiring option based on your home’s existing setup.
The Tapo D235 doorbell can save continuous recordings to the H500 hub when hardwired for power and set to Always-On mode. The doorbell connects directly to your router via 2.4GHz Wi-Fi. If both the doorbell and H500 are on the same network, the doorbell will be linked to the hub to enable advanced features like video storage, Wi-Fi backup, and facial recognition.
