Frequently Asked Questions

What is a Zigbee door sensor?

A Zigbee door sensor is a wireless magnetic contact sensor that detects when a door or window opens or closes. It requires a compatible Zigbee hub (SmartThings, Home Assistant, Hubitat, etc.) and can trigger automations like lights, alarms, or notifications.

Do motion sensor doorbells require a subscription?

No. Our motion sensor doorbells and the Tapo 2K+ camera all offer subscription-free operation. Local storage via SD card is available on the camera, and the motion sensors work entirely offline with no cloud dependency.

What is the range of a wireless motion sensor?

Standard indoor motion sensors cover 20–30 feet. Our long-range wireless motion sensor LED light covers up to 500 feet, making it ideal for large homes, warehouses, driveways, and commercial spaces.

Can I use a security camera without WiFi?

The Tapo 2K+ camera supports local SD card recording without cloud, but WiFi is required for remote viewing, push notifications, and smart home integration. For fully offline recording, look for cameras with NVR/DVR support.
