Kinda related. I think there should be a way to add the FaceTime camera on an iMac to stream to a dahua NVR, so I can 1) see the camera on the NVR screen along with all my other IP cameras, and 2) see the FaceTime camera through IDMMS lite. Using FFmpeg, I am trying to stream from the FaceTime...

If you have sufficient power to the the DB-11 from the POE switch and you can get a small two-wire from the switch to the alarm panel, then you can just put the ELK-930 right after your poe switch and connect the elk930 from there to your panel. No need to ry to home run from the doorbell back...

@silencery -if you want to buy the other ELK930 from me (you get two relays and a telephone relay) let me know.

@silencery - I got the DB-11 to ring over the DSC! Trolling these forums I read that some folks were having trouble getting their mechanical chime to work when wired to the DB-11. They found that in the imou app, they had to identify that a mechanical chime was being used. Once they turned...

I am powering the db11 and elk with an 85w 18.5v old Apple power brick. I put a meter across the connections. See pics. The db11 is always on. So I don’t think I see a voltage drop when the door bell is pressed. Could someone look at the voltage meter pics and help me out? Even tell me what...

Not yet. I added the elk 930 but can’t get a signal out of it to the dsc

Can you take a pic of the wiring? or give me a schematic of how you wired it?

I bought the Elk 930. Hooked it up to the DSC, but no chime form the DSC alarm. The Elk930 requires a drop fo >900mA in current for it to send a signal out. In my old hook-up, the doorbell wires are normally open, when you pressed the doorbell, it closed the circuit. Upon close, the alarm...

I actually wired the doorbell into a cat5 patch panel, so I have easy access to it. I am still reading about which route to go. I like the ELK930 route. Since I don't have a traditional doorbell or mechanical chime, what power supply should I use? A spare 24V DC 1A cell phone charger?

what is the power requirements for the LTS/Hikvision and what is your power source? I am not concerned (I think) that grouping the remaining twisted pairs of cat5e can't handle the transmission of the power. I am more concerned with whether I have the right power supply to the DB-11.

How do I embed the pics for ease of reading instead of attaching them as a file?

I just placed an order with EmpiretecAndy which included Dahua's DB-11 DoorBell. I am asking the forum for comments on power specifications. (Will separately post install project). My current doorbell is wired with a cat5e from a simple doorbell button outside to my 1832 PowerSeries alarm...

@EMPIRETECANDY - what's the best way to place a 5 camera order with NVR? I have all the cameras sitting in the cart in AliExpress. I don't see the same cameras on Amazon. Been following the forum for months. Just decided to join today. I don't even know how to send a private message!!
