    Script to Detect Colour, Make and Model of Car and People from IP Camera (Updated July 2019)

    That's what I was thinking. Thanks for confirming! Unfortunately our environment is different (we pull straight into/out of our driveway always the same direction), but nice to know of different ways this can be applied.

    Wyze Cam - Usable with Blue Iris?

    I'm not the OP, but also had the same issue. This seemed to happen quite frequently with v1 of the beta firmware. Wyze is on v3 now, and RTSP streams seem to have stabilized. Working great with BI

    Script to Detect Colour, Make and Model of Car and People from IP Camera (Updated July 2019)

    @ilovecoffee thanks for putting this together! This is an interesting thing to play with. Just to clarify, automl can't actually distinguish between arriving or leaving, can it? I ask because I looked over the automl docs and it doesn't seem to have this ability yet. However, you mentioned...

    Dec 2020 - Comparison of RTSP Doorbells

    I'm far from qualified to verify IP ratings, but I did disassemble the DB11. It does at least SEEM reasonably protected from water intrusion. There are silicone and rubber gaskets in all the right places. The intent is to use the chime matched to each doorbell. As far as I can tell, all the...

    New RCA HSDB2A 3MP Doorbell IP Camera

    Ah. Good to know! I'll have to retest the PIR. Yes, optocoupler should work great, especially for tight spaces

    New RCA HSDB2A 3MP Doorbell IP Camera

    I haven't found an onvif event for doorbell press yet, but I didn't look very hard. Alternatively, to send doorbell events, you can install a relay parallel to the power wires. When the doorbell button is pressed, it will cause a dead short on the power wires. The voltage drop will trigger the...

    Dec 2020 - Comparison of RTSP Doorbells

    Good question. The DB1 PIR issue was reported by @Emiks5 here. I have not yet taken the doorbell apart, but was able to verify by running my own tests as well. For me personally, I don't mind since I have a external PIR mounted above the camera triggering notifications, but it could be an issue...

    Dec 2020 - Comparison of RTSP Doorbells

    I didn't include the skybell since it doesn't appear to support RTSP The second doorbell received poor reviews in the past and has been superseded by the SD-M5. There is an existing thread here on it. The RFID capability is cool, but I'm not sure how it would be integrated. I did not include...

    Dec 2020 - Comparison of RTSP Doorbells

    Er... LOL. No. Oops! Thanks for letting me know. If that were the case, it wouldn't be a very good camera would it? I'll see if I can upload the videos to youtube or another site. EDIT: OK. Updated to host videos on vimeo.com instead. Hopefully will work better than the forum media library.

    Update Dec 2020: Cleaned up specs table. Added EZVIZ DB1C. There are also many more options available now compared to back when this thread started. If you have one you'd like to add, PM me along with specs and sample video. The purpose of this thread is to share my findings comparing RTSP...

    New RCA HSDB2A 3MP Doorbell IP Camera

    Wow, thanks for the great tip on the DC power support! If you're powering the doorbell with 12V DC, you should be able to use a regular relay to trigger whatever device you want. In the app, make sure to change the doorbell setting to "electronic chime." When the doorbell is pushed, the relay...

    YooSee SD-M5 doorbell: 1080p, PoE, RTSP, Onvif, only $66

    On the DB11, I wired a relay straight to the doorbell button. The relay is setup to trigger an alarm zone which interprets this zone as a chime. For people using zwave or ZigBee, the same principle will work, or yes, an Arduino as well.

    Dahua DB11 Summary - is this best doorbell for now?

    It might just be the iOS version of BI. I just tested on PC and android. Mic is working, although I haven't actually had a need to talk to anyone yet
