Pulling my weight
I guess my setup would fit here best, as it uses similar devices but a complete different setup (cool devices, giving you a couple of options):
I have a VTO2000A running SIP firmware (actual 20170425), powered by a standard power supply with 12V DC transmitted to my door on the 4 spare wires of VTO's ethernet cable. Didn't want to add an additional device (VTNS1060A) for this single stn.
As a "server" I had a RPi2 already set up, so I installed asterisk sip server. I do not use dahua's VTH for the indoor side, but a standard h.264 capable SIP video phone that was installed anyway (in my case a Grandstream GXV3140).
The VTO's ip camera rtsp-stream was added to my synology's suveillance station, so I can check if the postman delivered something while I'm away. Also I have monitored my front door 24/7, even when the visitor did not press the doorbell button.
Due the use of a enigma2 based satellite receiver at my home, it was easy that another script switches the tv station to the VTO's ip stream when someone rings at the door. So i get interrupted while watching tv immediately, can see the visitor(s) and can even hear what they complain when I am too slow opening the door.
To get notifications on my mobile phone with a picture of the visitor was the hardest part: I programmed a little php-script, uploading the snapshot.jpg pic to a cloud image service (imgur, visible only for me!). After uploading the pic gets send to my phone via onesignal app.
See pics how this solution looks like on my phone:
Next step was to add the fingerprint sensor VTO2000A-F. I programmed again a script, that sends me a notification with the name of the user who opened the door. This was way easier, using dahuas HTTP_CGI_API.
Feel free to ask me for the scripts, if interrested.
