If you are going Reolink POE and tablet(s) in the rooms, then you should just use the Reolink app on the tablet. It is quicker than the Surveillance Station DSCam client. Also, the Reolink POE works over the Alexa skill, but it (still) takes two tries to see the doorbell feed. You have to say...

Thanks, in my haste I ordered the more expensive ones that were arriving on Wednesday, cancelled that and ordered the cheaper ones (€5.99) arriving tomorrow.

It has been a while since I terminated an RJ-45 myself (about 25 years) I have the tool, but I need to order the RJ-45's I'd prefer to do that to avoid drilling a large hole. Edit: Found it at the bottom of my tool box, ordered passthrough plugs https://www.amazon.nl/-/en/dp/B09W9PC9G5?

https://community.reolink.com/topic/6245/doorbell-now-supported-by-synology-surveillance-station Looks like two-way audio is supported but only through HTTPS, HOWEVER I think Synology Surveillance Station uses the default DS certificate because I connect to mine with HTTPS ticked and it works...

I want to replace the AD410 with the Reolink POE version, but can I get confirmation that doorbell presses and live video work on the Echo Show 5? Because I want to switch to this to be able to view and answer the door from upstairs bedroom (Alexa integration). I also have DS923+ Surveillance...

I am leaning towards the POE version, so that means there is no possibility to add my existing chime to it, because the doorbell wires would be completely bypassed with POE. Plus, the only reason I am doing this is to link it to Alexa/Echo.. the Amcrest AD410 has an option to announce when the...

Thanks for that. So I can't get the Reolink WiFi version and connect to my existing wires and chime setup? The above video says it doesn't work with chimes. In that case it might make sense to get the POE version and the POE injector, this is what I found...

Yeah I can pick it up for about €120 here in The Netherlands. I think I'll do that and sell the AD410 replacement on eBay or something.

Tried HA, HACS, Dahua.. I'm doneee :wave: I am going to RMA it. If I can't get the replacement working with Alexa I will look for something else.

Thanks I'd appreciate it. I did install HA on my Synology and get the Live Feed going, but I came across something that required me to pay for a cloud subscription or something, maybe I was mistaken.

No options for video encryption.

This was my current URL in MonocleCam rtsp:/192.168.178.24:554/cam/realmonitor?channel=1&subtype=0&unicast=true&proto=Onvif I tried that one with just &authbasic=64 and it didn't work. The RTSP works in VLC just fine, but not in Alexa. I might have to invest in a 7" tablet, but I need to find...

I have the AD410 doorbell and it works great for the most part, but I have been unsuccessful in getting it linked to Alexa for the live feed. It worked briefly the first time I set it up on the Echo Show 8 (in my bedroom) and then randomly stopped working with the message "Something went wrong"...

The files are massive in HD on my Synology Surveillance Station, instead of a month (Hikvision 720p) I have had to limit it to 2 weeks with the AD410, but I guess that continuous SD recording applies only to the internal SDcard? I do see a Low Bandwidth option in SS camera settings, but I have...

Looks like you have two light sources left and right that are causing glare. Try turning off night vision, and see if the image is clear enough.
