ok so reading the entire thread.
hacking and modding in progress.
PASSIVE PoE, injector or converter often needed for more PoE switches
NO mechanical door bell support
5 FPS
Manual focus adjust needed.
modded sold exasperate USB chime needed to mod in door bell support?
DANG! almost worth it to get an arduino or PLC controller and set off an event to
Blue Iris via a normal old fashioned door bell and kick off recording of quality ceiling mounted cameras. THAT or keep waiting that the firmware for the ring elite will get cracked wide ope for ONVIF support :-/ my wireless hikvision has the door bell chime buzzing when i hook it up now, where it was working fine before. OOOFFF!!! we almost need a big ass kick starter to mfg our own PoE door bell.
EDIT: anyone tried the blue iris work around for the wireless hikvision on this camera? i know my hikvision door bell was pushing 1 fps till someone here told me to hit a check box.
