There seems to be no ideal PoE doorbells from the likes of Dahua and HikVision etc. I have a Dahua IP camera system and would love to replace my Ring doorbell with something I could integrate with that. There also seems to be a lack of options for internal chimes. Most of these have screens and cost too much. I don't have a mechanical doorbell chime but Ring do simple plug in chimes (or there is an Alexa skill to make echo devices into chimes). Doorbird gets close but those can get expensive fast and I am not sure how well they integrate with an existing system. Used Dahua as example as that's what I have but what I would like to see:
Works just like an IP camera, PoE powered directly from one of the PoE ports on my NVR with 24/7 recording
Doesn't have a crippled camera and has proper IP camera features like smart motion detection etc.
IR lights that are on all the time at night not only when the doorbell is pressed
Alerts and two way talk/video via DMMS smart phone app
Option for cheap internal wifi or PoE chimes
Cost something like £200 - £400. Aware something like this would cost more than IP Cam but I would be happy to pay for something from Dahua that was fully integrated with my system.
