Hello people,
I'm new to the forum and don't have much experience in Surveillance Systems. I want a advice for a cheap video bell because I don't have a lot of money to shoot blind. I had a Chinese video doorbell Eken V5 but they stole it. There was no Cloud recording, just an SD card (which they stole with it) and I couldn't figure out who stole it. In truth, I was pleased with it, but it didn't cover all the requirements I had. I am currently watching Dbell HD live and the Yoosee SD-M5 as they are priced at £ 50. I'm from Bulgaria and the purchase has to come from the UK (I couldn't find Yoosee there).
My requirements are:
1. Be able to hard wired. I have put the power cable (twisted pair) to the mounting location. No LAN cable, WiFi will be used.
2. Have a stable Android app that rings without having to constantly work in the background and be able to turn off the LED illumination of the ring button.
3. Have a free Cloud to keep at least the last video recording of the motion detection, since I don't have a Surveillance System at the moment. Or at least be able to save video files on the local network.
4. Be able to constantly monitor from a computer or with appropriate local area network software (ONVIF / RSTP) without affecting the motion detection records and the operation of the mobile application. If there is an opportunity for integration into Smart home it will be good too.
5. Good close-up image and stable operation of the motion detection because it will be used in front of the apartment door where there is a lot of movement.
With these requirements, I may be choose Dbell, but I don't know how successful the mobile app is. If anyone can tell if app get notifications and ring when the app is not running in the background?
Overall, please share your experience on both devices with the listed criteria. If you can also share short clips of day and night shooting (I read what I was able to find for both devices in the forum, but I couldn't find almost anything for Dbell).
If you have other suggestions for devices within £ 50 I'll be glad to hear them.
Thanks in advance.
