I am not sure how they do it, but yeah they are saying that you can use just 2 wires and send both power and data over them. Datasheet Looking at their diagram, you don't even need the transformer anymore. It suggests to me that you can have a POE video doorbell even if all you had was the...

FWIW, I wrote to Reolink support to suggest / request a change in their app. Currently the only account level that can use 2-way talk with the doorbell is an admin. Normal user account can view, but is restricted from 2-way talk with a person at the door. This somewhat circumvents the purpose...

I re-installed my doorbell last weekend. As you may recall, my previous install used an electrical box that I modified, and a lot of concrete sealant... and I did not use the included wedge. It looked decent, but the thing that bothered me about it was that because the camera was straight on...

got the printed plates yesterday. They look pretty decent, and will work perfectly for mounting the wedge on top of one of these plates. Hoping to redo the install this weekend, but I have a feeling I wont have time.

I've ordered a few 3D prints from the STL files. Picking them up today. My intention is to use the printed mount plate in addition to the 15 degree wedge that was in the box. I might have to sand the flat visible surfaces of the mount plate.. not sure yet, but will find out soon enough.

huh... I figured it out.. but I don't know why it made a difference because it was never enabled before. I turned on all the network ports, and the web interface came on. Then I turned them all off (except for https) and then the web service was again, unavailable. I found by turning them...

Everything was fine before the firmware update. Anyhow, I have tried enough. I re-did the firmware and reset the config (which is what I assume is just a factory reset). I got all my settings reconfigured... wish there was a config backup/restore The web interface got cooked by this FW...

Downgraded to 1859. I think that was what I had before... still no web interface. So I am upgrading again to the latest version, but also resetting config... will see if that does anything. Otherwise, I think there is a flaw in my hardware. I already submitted a ticket to Reolink

POE

I thought about doing that (noting the version)... lol Basically it was upgraded from the version it was shipped with. I received my doorbell in April... so I would assume it was pretty recent?

I did try putting http back on also. No joy. Turned both http and https on and off... right now its just https. Only 1 subnet here. I have tried a few things to get it going again, but no luck so far. If I try re-installing the FW update it says its the same version and cannot be installed...

Rebooted the DB several times. Refreshed my browser. Tried a browser on a different computer. Nothing. The IP is DHCP, but is a reserved IP assigned to the DB by my router (so essentially static). Unplugged the NIC, and replugged... Its like there is no more web server on the DB now. But...

I'm upgrading my POE DB right now... will check out the new features when done. edit: I am using the web interface to do the FW upgrade... It is still running (its been about 15 minutes). Not sure if I should close the browser, or wait.. It says to not power off the device until the upgrade...

Just looked at Reolink downloads today. There is a new firmware posted (at least for the POE version) on their site (v3.0.0.2033_23041302). This is their notes on the firmware:

Not wanting to stray from the point of this thread... but knowing what the network will support will be helpful in settings to get the most out of your install, and setting expectations as to what you should see from your install...
