Hello,
I am looking to a connected doorbell which:
1) works reliably: meaning that when someone is ringing, I should be immediately notified (especially through the mobile app) and able to see/speak clearly.
2) is open: it should interface with other systems like Blue Iris or Home Assistant
3) (if possible) can interface with the Fritz!Box to ring the associated landline phones (with Live-Bild, meaning I can see the person who is ringing on my landline phone)
Because of reliability, I was mainly looking at PoE doorbells and I found:
A) Alphago ALP-600: around 350€
B) Doorbird D1101V: around 470€
C) Dahua DHI-VTO2202F-P: around 130€
Alphago seems to be the easiest one to make it work reliably (with a great support from the vendor) but it doesn't seem to be very open (except to Fritz!Box). For instance I haven't found anything about interface with Home Assistant. It seems to be not very well known outside Germany.
Doorbird seems to be the open one (Blue Iris, Home Assistant, Fritz!Box, etc.) but it is very expensive and based on the reviews, it doesn't seem to work that good. Image quality is also not so great according to this post: IP Video Intercoms
Dahua looks very interesting (and cheap !) but it is not easily compatible with Fritz!Box (with some hacking with the older model, apparently you can get the voice but not the video: Dahua VTO2000A an FritzBox!)
So it looks like I'd need to dump my requirement about the Fritz!Box and Go with Dahua.
Is there some other doorbells I have missed ?
Thanks
