    New Reolink Wired POE Doorbell Cam ?

    Reolink question. I notice it is defaulted to Auto Reboot once a week. I turned that off, but was wondering why Reolink wants to reboot? Great replacement for my Ezviz DB. Was able to use Ezviz mounting holes for Reolink Wedge. Instead of jumping the mechanical doorbell Transformer and...

    @David L I have a similar setup as you. Blue Iris 5, CodeProjectAI, Home Assistant, and getting ready to replace Ezviz with Reolink Doorbell. In Home Assistant I have a Camera tab with 5 cameras and use the sub-streams from the Blue Iris HACS Integration for Home Assistant. Are you using the...

    New Reolink Wired POE Doorbell Cam ?

    Ordered the Reolink Wifi version today to replace my Eviz doorbell which is still working great but the PIR Lens is broken from people pressing it. I put clear packaging tape over it and it is still working fine, but for the $79 price on the Reolink, I thought it would be a good time to change...

    Advice for Video Surveillance at subdivision entrance\exit

    @nbstl68 What did you conclude after your research? We have 4 entrances in our subdivision with not a lot of traffic. Getting seems like weekly car break-ins and in the last couple of weeks, two cars were stolen. I realize cameras won't prevent the thefts but perhaps help recover the stolen...

    Raspberry Pi 3B+ OpenVPN

    Yes it is still working fine for access to my cameras when I am not connected locally on my network. I use the OpenVPN app on my iPhone and then UI3 Blue Iris web interface. If I recall piVPN was easy to install. I created a cron job for Dynu to keep my IP address up to date. Instructions...

    New RCA HSDB2A 3MP Doorbell IP Camera

    Not to my knowledge. As others have mentioned you can tap into the manual chime. I saw this post that should accomplish it. Integrate "old fashioned" doorbell into HA with Xiaomi

    Good PC price and option?

    Good luck. The EliteDesks are solid machines. Mine even has warranty still on it. I bought a second one for my wife to replace her older desktop.

    Good PC price and option?

    They have 2 drive bays that are easy to access. The second bay is under the top one. There is also an optical drive bay as shown in your listing. I can't tell you on the price, I have a G1 I5-4590 3.30GHZ that works great with my 4 camera system. I paid $105 for it.

    New RCA HSDB2A 3MP Doorbell IP Camera

    I haven't got it fixed. I use the Hikvision iOS app and it only has HD or Standard for choices. I might try the ezviz app and see what happens.

    I use the Blue Iris Motion Trigger with Home Assistant to display video on devices and I also get immediate notifications on our phones. If you wanted to specifically detect button press, you could do like you and @silencery said using a relay to trigger, Here is a post of someone that did...

    New RCA HSDB2A 3MP Doorbell IP Camera

    Are you currently using Home Assistant? If so, there is a Blue Iris Integration to get the streams. If not, then you need to investigate it and see if it something you want to pursue because there is a learning curve. Blue Iris is just one portion of my home automation. I have z-wave light...

    New RCA HSDB2A 3MP Doorbell IP Camera

    I have had the Nelly Doorbell about a month now and am very happy with the performance. I use it with Blue Iris and Home Assistant. We stream live video on a couple of Google Home Hubs and our Sony TV(if it is on) when BI motion is triggered. My wife really likes this feature.

    New RCA HSDB2A 3MP Doorbell IP Camera

    Thank David. I do have the newer Nelly's 190625 firmware and have tried the Ezviz app and Hi-Connect. It is not a big issue, but one that I noticed and would like to resolved if possible. On my Network Signal in the app it shows my WiFi signal to be -56 dBm which from what I read is...

    Turn off triggers via MQTT

    Thanks, that is what I ended up doing after finding the curl example. Right now just have an automation that I use, but will definitely look at weather. I just recently moved from Wink to Home Assistant. Home Assistant and Blue Iris and my Google Hubs work great together. I have a lot to learn.

    New RCA HSDB2A 3MP Doorbell IP Camera

    For those using this doorbell with Blue Iris, do you loose signal in Blue Iris if you open the iOS app and view live video by clicking on the video. If I just view the image and don’t click app video I don’t loose signal on BI video. My WiFi seems reasonably good and I have a new 30VA transformer.

    New RCA HSDB2A 3MP Doorbell IP Camera

    I think that may be saying 10VA (volt amps), in which case most people are recommending 30VA especially if you have a doorbell.
