Looking for a decent doorbell camera that works with BI

[fenderman]

Hello all. I've had Reolink doorbell in operation for at least two weeks or so. I'm still tweaking the camera settings. Yesterday there was overcast sky (mostly white bit gray) which made the background a bit bright and someone came to the door. The individual's face / appearance was dark which made it a bit hard to identify. What settings would alleviate that? It is unfortunate camera doesn't have BLC, HLC and WDR options.

Thanks.

There is a separate brightness and shadows adjustment in the display settings both for color day mode and black and white, if you set it to manual instead of auto...

+1^^.
I also shimmed one of my 2 Reolink doorbells to tilt down some to get more porch and less background sky.

I bought a mounting block off eBay for maybe $15 that goes over the siding.

Mind sharing your settings? I can duplicate yours and make further tweaks from there. Thanks.

I still need to do some testing and tweaking. We don’t get too many sunny days this time of the year
