Hi everyone,
I am looking for a new intercom system for my house. It needs to look nice, have a good picture quality, an indoor unit and support POE and onvif.
I thought about the reolink doorbell but there is no dedicated indoor unit for it.
From what I could see, the lock relays are on the outdoor unit, which seems rather unsafe to me. I found online there is a secure control module you can use to have the lock relays in another location.
Here is what I couldn't find answers about:
- The indoor unit KH6350 seems to have lock relays from what the data sheet says (DS-KH6350-WTE1)
Has anyone had any luck using those to trigger the relay of a lock instead of those on the outdoor unit?
- In case the above is not possible, I will need to use the secure control module connected via RS485. I read online it needs to be connected to the outdoor unit, which is a pain as I would have to run another cable... Can't I just connect it to the indoor unit, which also has RS485 connections?
- Does it matter if I buy this equipment on AliExpress or in Europe? The price difference can be significant...
- It seems a lot of people are against reolink cams on this forum. So what would you recommend instead?
I was planning on installing a couple of RLC-811A and CX410 outside.
Thank you all for your help.
Still learning every day...
