Yes. I do not think that CMS would have worked without it.Did you enable RTSP in the rstp setting in the phone app and enter an RTSP password? Same one you use in bi
I am pleasantly surprised! That looks really good and better than I expected! Thank you!SecuritySeeker here is the night video. (about all I can get here, staying at someone else's house while traveling.) There is a street light just a little way down the street---It's dark out, but sure looks bright in the capture. In the mid of the capture, I turned on a single porch light.

You'd expect it to work if you copy Cinnman's settings but other ports I've seen mentioned at the YooSee website for ONVIF are 5000 and 3702.I can not get the cam to work via BI for some odd reason, I have tried all week with different settings. {maybe I need do un bind the cam from the app}
That does sound a lot like Cinnman's original focus problem. It probably only appears to be in focus close by because you are looking at it on a small smartphone display, it's probably really out of focus throughout. It would be great if you could upload an image before fixing the focus so we can verify but it seems safe to conclude that anyone wanting to get this doorbell has to be prepared to open it to correct the focus.Anyway the image is so so, it looks good for the first 20ft. After 20ft it gets a little out of focus.
From the description on the product page it looks like it's simple passive PoE, using the 4 'spare' wires to carry power. It appears to accept 8-36V so there is some flexibility there. No real standard (802.3af or at) as such. Maximum cable length 50m (164 ft).What POE standard does it use?
Thanks. I was curious if the POE injector was needed or if a standardized POE switch could be used.From the description on the product page it looks like it's simple passive PoE, using the 4 'spare' wires to carry power.

You really don't want to hook up a 48V POE injector ( 802.11at or af but especially 48V passive) to this gadget. It will let the smoke out of a 24V passive POE device.I was a bit hesitant to hook up to 48v smart injector at first given the 8-36v spec, but either it (the poe injector) is smart enough to negotiate voltage and current requirement or the doorbell just handled the excess? I would probably use a 24v injector or just the included power supply and passive cable.
This. It probably uses what is called a buck converter to regulate the 12-36V input to 12V (and then down to 5V and/or 3.3V). Supplying a higher voltage is likely to cause damage, if not instantly than almost certainly after a while. It should in principle be safe to connect the doorbell to a 802.3 port, if all goes as it should the port will simply not power the device. It's not really clear to me whether Cinnman connected it to a 802.3af port and had it actually power up as a result but if it does power up that's bad.You really don't want to hook up a 48V POE injector ( 802.11at or af but especially 48V passive) to this gadget.

Hello SecuritySeeker,I just sent them an email asking several questions including about connecting a physical chime. Will report back when I get an answer.
Not yet, no video. I do not get any errors from BI.Vandyman---you ever get your doorbell working?
SecuritySeeker---I finally got a reply from Gwell support although it makes little to no sense out of the poe question??? I had asked about 24v/48v poe and 802.3 af/at connection and voltage limitations. I don't know if the translation was just too much or what. It is still hooked up and functioning great with the included power supply over approximately 100 ft (30 meters) of pretty cheap cat 5e. Currently, the included power adapter/"injector" is connected using the included accessory cable (ethernet/power injector adapter) at the switch end of the 100 ft cable with the other end connected directly to the ethernet port on the back of the doorbell. As the camera is currently located almost 1000 miles away from me, I haven't been able to experiment with hooking it up again to any of my injectors, but will travel that way again in a few weeks and may try since I am looking at a poe switch to use.
Their answer:
"Good day! This is greeting from Gwell service team.
Thanks for your feedback.
Sorry as I know we do not support to connect to POE."
I have the chime hooked up and it works great. You can set the volume and there must be at least 20+ sounds and sounds.Hello SecuritySeeker,
Did you get any confirmation from the supplier whether this can be integrated/connected with an existing physical chime?
If so, do you know how this can be done?

They never replied directly to my email, their response seems to have consisted of updating the product page on their website and including, among other things, a reference to their wireless 'USB' chime which vandyman mentioned:Did you get any confirmation from the supplier whether this can be integrated/connected with an existing physical chime?
