Wow, okay -- so this client actually wants to proceed here, even though I explained that these 'still' photos are NOT going to look professional whatsoever. That being said, I am trying to spec out the right Camera(s)+NVR system for the job. As the pictures attached to the first post on this...

Well said. I am going to have to dumb all of this down a bunch for the client so they can truly understand that they shouldn't be trying to use this system for both livestreaming, and for producing good stills. I am going to use a spork analogy. A spork makes an okay-ish spoon, and it makes an...

For any typical wedding/situation, I agree with your approach. However, to reiterate, one of the requirements the client is giving me here is that during the ceremony, while the officiator is officiating, no photographer/videographer is allowed to be present in the immediate area of those...

All good!

Do you not have push notifications working?

I believe you can configure the doorbell for push notifications in the WebUI settings of the doorbell. I imagine your doorbell will need to be able to get out to the Internet as well. I don’t allow my cameras to be able to get out to the internet, so I get around this using cam2mqtt +...
