    New Amcrest AD410 doorbell Cam Review

    My ad410 started showing just a white screen for video. Pretty sure it was heat death, I live in Phoenix lol. I'm starting to think few cameras will survive this type of heat for more than a few years, so I'm going to focus on price/performance and not buy any high end ones.

    New Reolink Wired POE Doorbell Cam ?

    That adjustable mount is pretty slick. I just got my reolink POE (for my garage doorbell, yeah it's weird but I have a doorbell on my garage I play with home automation and facial recognition with) and I used reolink doorbell mount 35 40 45 degrees by Chris van de kam | Download free STL model...

    Review- IPC-WL46A 4MP 2.8mm Floodlight Wifi Network Camera

    Reolink doorbell cam seems well regarded, though I agree otherwise. The fact that the reolink is PoE makes me consider it since the dahua is wifi.

    Review- IPC-WL46A 4MP 2.8mm Floodlight Wifi Network Camera

    Anyone tried the reolink poe floodlight? Thinking of replacing my ring flood cam, looking at the dahua or the reolink.

    EZVIZ DB1 Pro

    Well, didn't work (as I expected it wouldn't). I get the same crappy HEVC h265 stream.

    EZVIZ DB1 Pro

    well, they later emailed me again with this (h264/ch1/main/av_stream).. I was about to run it down to Kohls to return, but I will give it one last try.. I don't have high hopes since any string I put on the URL directed to (bad) 265 stream, but I'll give it a quick whirl. Thank you for...

    EZVIZ DB1 Pro

    Well, back to Amazon it goes.. their reply, when it, umm, clearly does support RTSP at least to some degree since the stream is there. Thank you for contacting EZVIZ Tech Team, we value your business. Regarding your request, We’re sorry that things aren’t going smoothly. Unfortunately, our...

    EZVIZ DB1 Pro

    I hope so.. I want to like it, and the app video quality seems good, and like I said surprisingly low lag for a cloud service. Haven't tried it in the dark yet, so far just on a transformer in my office for testing.

    EZVIZ DB1 Pro

    Good idea, thanks for suggestion, gave it a try but same.. also TinyCam is setup for RTSP/TCP and shows the same bad stream. Well, hopefully I hear back from EZVIZ but I won't hold my breath, and I guarantee if they do their first reply will be a generic "check your wifi" type troubleshooting...

    EZVIZ DB1 Pro

    Gave that a try, but same stream. Any string I add on the end of the URL gives me the same stream: I will try moving the doorbell directly under my Unifi AP6 access point and turning back on 5GHz and see if it makes any difference, what will tell me if it's network and maybe cloud uses some...

    EZVIZ DB1 Pro

    Yeah, runnning 0.11RC2 of Frigate, and actually now that I see VLC/Tincam show same bad stream I guess it's not Frigate. The App's cloud-based view of the stream is great - low lag, no dropouts, etc.. so I know it's not wifi. I'm not sure there is a substream.. Would be different URL, right...

    EZVIZ DB1 Pro

    I didn't have the Db1C before, so not sure how compares. Video quality is pretty crisp and it does have fisheye.. Stream resolution shows up as the widespread, usual, and totally very common 2544x1888. I'm using Frigate and the 265 is not working well at all, video is all mangled. Ezviz app, or...

    EZVIZ DB1 Pro

    OK, after some confusion with some weird old EZlink app that didn't work, I got it working. So far, two issues. First, wifi5 is garbage, don't know why they even added it. I had to add a 2.4 only wifi config for it to work. Second, I can only get the thing to spit out h.265 on the RTSP URL...

    Whelp, ordered some rando doorbell..

    Back it goes.. Doesn't seem to have any RTSP/Onvif, anything like that.. seems nice enough otherwise. Ordering ezviz.
