New Reolink Wired POE Doorbell Cam ?

Also still no luck here with 2 way audio using Synology Surveillance Station. They do have a specific Reolink Doorbell profile now instead of only a Onvif one. Hopefully they”ll add a working 2 way audio soon.

Email them and request it. Dont assume others have asked synology for this support.

Yes, that's the hardware combination I'm currently using. I'm on BI 5.7.9.6 but don't recall any issues with past versions.
Those things work without subscription. Though, if you want an image sent with the notification (called rich notification) you need a subscription.

I finally got mine installed just now... had it sitting on my desk testing and never installed it ... I have mine hooked up to a poe extender I bought from Andy that splits the one Poe connection between two cams...so I have the new REOLINK DB and my wedge cam both hooked up via the extender.....no issues so far... thanks @David L for all your help!

picture quality is so much better than my old Dahua doorbell cam...and I can have a doorbell chime again without having to do any wiring...but I hate for the old doorbell cam to go to waste so trying to come up with a way to repurpose it lol

I want to replace the AD410 with the Reolink POE version, but can I get confirmation that doorbell presses and live video work on the Echo Show 5? Because I want to switch to this to be able to view and answer the door from upstairs bedroom (Alexa integration).
I also have DS923+ Surveillance Station for recordings, but I understand there's now a Reolink profile, just no two way audio yet?
Thanks.

Correct, I filed a report on the Synology website. Maybe they will be inclined to fix the issue if they get enough reports.

Doorbell now supported by Synology Surveillance Station
(also posted on Reolink Facebook)A heads up for those of you that have a Synology NAS. The latest version of Surveillance Station supports the Reolink Doorbell (without using ONVIF). It also appears to support 2-way audio, but insists on having a HTTPS co...

Looks like two-way audio is supported but only through HTTPS, HOWEVER I think Synology Surveillance Station uses the default DS certificate because I connect to mine with HTTPS ticked and it works. I do not have any self signed certificates installed.
I am going to order it, however I am a bit scared having to drill a much larger hole to put the RJ45 connector through my door post.
You mean a PRE-terminated cable with a RJ-45? If you pull in an UN-terminated CAT-5e cable and install the RJ-45 yourself the hole doesn't have to be larger than 3/8" diameter, and in some instances (access, cable diameter) a 1/4" hole will suffice.
A purchased patch cable with RJ-45 and an anti-snag boot can require a 1/2" hole so a 1/4" is only half as big.

It has been a while since I terminated an RJ-45 myself (about 25 years) I have the tool, but I need to order the RJ-45's I'd prefer to do that to avoid drilling a large hole.You mean a PRE-terminated cable with a RJ-45?

Edit: Found it at the bottom of my tool box, ordered passthrough plugs
