Getting the hang of it
FIrst off thanks to this forum and its users as the information helped me choose my doorbell. The amount of information in this thread is daunting. I went with a Hikvision DS-HD1 and the installation went smoothly. The question I have to the knowledgeable users is: Are you okay with running Hik-Connect on your phone ? Is it a security issue ? I am currently using DS Cam app but it doesn't have 2-way audio available so that is the only reason I would like to go back to Hik-Connect as it lets you have a conversation through your phone with the person at the door.
No more then any other VDB phone app. Like all apps its up too you how much access you feel conferrable giving it. On the plus side the video feed (or saved video files) is nothing more then some one driving by your house would see.
