I have bought a Yoosee PoE doorbell and setup was quite simple. For some odd reason, notification pushing sometimes is delayed on Android but not on iOS.
Keep in mind this doorbell will use all 4 pairs of your CAT6 connection (2 for data, 2 for PoE) so if you only have a single CAT6 with no additional wiring you won't have any wires left to connect your existing mechanical doorbell.
It's Onvif and offers an RTSP stream and it has been found to work with BlueIris and at least one other Onvif compatible program so chances are it will work with your NVR if that is Onvif too but the only way to be absolutely sure about compatibility is to try it out with your specific NVR.
I’ve had it installed for maybe about 6 months or so. The doorbell itself would work without a PoE injector. All you need is your typical electric wiring. Otherwise, a PoE injector (included in the box) is needed. I only had to run one cable from the doorbell to the PoE injector and a cable between it and my unmanaged network switch. Nothing too difficult and it worked like a charm. An IP was assigned to it automatically and it started working without any issues (except for those odd app-related ones). I’ve yet to try it with Blue Iris.
Yes, indeed. You can buy multiple ones if you have a big house but it can be quite surprisingly loud.after some reading looks like it does not ring a mechanical chime but requires a usb ringer :-(
Has anyone tired this doorbell?
Curious if its compatible and functioning with Blue Iris.

Does this HikVision DS-KB8112-IM hit the mark? Not certain this meets the chime requirement... I'm a total noob at this. I've been looking at installing a new system and have stalled right from the beginning. I too want a doorbell cam on the front and back doors. There seem to be plenty of great products and advice on security cameras but the doorbell cams just seem to be so limited when the focus is on "PoE Doorbell Cams". At least from a cost perspective. I've prewired an addition to the backside of our home and have the Cat6 just hanging out next to our door just waiting to be connected!
This model (DS-KB8112-IM) hits the PoE and price requirement at US $160 for my needs (I think). I need to learn a bit more about resolution but think this would work fine for the close-up view at our door. Once I have this issue figured out I'll tackle the "easier" job of purchasing dome cameras that gets me broader coverage with higher resolution.
Wish I had something to share but I have not gotten any further on my search for a PoE doorbell cam. I don't have a requirement for the chime so I'm not even looking at that feature.(sorry to the owner to use this topic)
Hi Kochanowski
Have you checked out more things about HikVision DS-KB8112-IM doorbell?
Just looking for a confirmation that the Relay Output in Chime mode, reacts to call button.

Lol, you think that someone with the skillset to collect data from your lan, will go rip of your doorbell and sit out there with a pc stealing your data? That will never happen. If you are paranoid, you can make the same exact argument for wired cameras. The solution for the overly paranoid is segregate the network. Also see Hacking your network from an IP cameraI have about 10 tabs open right now with all of the links here, thanks! I have an RCA doorbell cam on the wall now and it's horrible.
I wanted to comment here on the folks who are hung up on POE - If you think about it, the last thing you want to do is hang an ethernet cable outside of your house. I mean, otherwise, you might as well just have an open wi-fi network. Sure, nobody is going to pull your doorbell off and plug into your ethernet...But if they DO - then they're going to have unrestricted access to your lan (without some VLAN/port security/something complex).
Anyway, just wanted to throw out there that I'm specifically sticking to Wi-Fi for security reasons. Thanks again for all of the helpful product links, everyone.

You can also constantly ping the doorbell so you are alerted when it goes offline. This is never needed as the threat of such an attack on your home is zero. You should focus your energy on properly securing the device itself from the internet.
It IS best practice to string ethernet outside your house. This is how to PROPERLY install IP cameras. It is NOT best practice to use crappy wifi thinking its better. That is foolish. Please, your ex, would have no capability to access your network and delete anything. Do you leave your network storage devices and pc's open with no passwords?
Yes, all that, for sure. Unlikely vector, and ways to make it secure, anyway. I just meant that it's generally not a best-practice to string ethernet outside your house unless you do consider the security aspects. I have POE Cameras on a managed switch, but I know what I'm doing.
I also agree that all IoT stuff should be blocked from accessing the internet. Anyone reading here can hopefully find that option in their router. That's like the first thing for anyone to do when putting this type of stuff on their LAN.
For me, my ex would have come, jacked in, and just deleted everything one night. She's a mean one.
I got this last week, only took a week to arrive also (I am in Australia)I have bought a Yoosee PoE doorbell and setup was quite simple. For some odd reason, notification pushing sometimes is delayed on Android but not on iOS.
This Yoosee Doorbell isn't very good quality, 2 main issuesI got this last week, only took a week to arrive also (I am in Australia)
Took me 30min to see the active button bottom left... while setting up and testing
It did change its IP after 1 night on BI, so allocated an IP in my router
2mp - but very wide angle, so not a great picture
Set-up with BI took about 5min, had to try a few different settings - but was setting up the app at the same time (DOH)
Chime works well, but needs to be near (5-7m?) from the doorbell
Over all, does a good job, just have to wait and see if someone presses my button while i'm out
4 days and no issues, no visitors however (bonus!)

2: Quality of the lens - isn't focused on left side (not centred?) - degrades from right to left (right side and middle clear as day)
