Replace your existing doorbell with a Tapo doorbell and answer your door from anywhere with your phone. However, not all doorbell systems are compatible with the Tapo doorbell. Your existing doorbell button must be a stand-alone momentary push button. Integrated intercoms, gate systems, and entry controls are likely incompatible.
The voltage and power should fall within the required range below. If not, you can contact a professional to upgrade your doorbell system.

How to check the voltage?
Use the following methods to help you check the voltage:
1. Find the voltage of your doorbell’s transformer
Typically, the transformers’ nameplate shows the voltage ratings. It is usually attached to the body of the transformer. If the voltage ratings are within the below range, then your doorbell system is compatible with Tapo Doorbell.
