    YooSee SD-M5 doorbell: 1080p, PoE, RTSP, Onvif, only $66

    Hurray, received mine today: two doorbells (one black, one white) and two chimes. As it happens we received the key to our newly built home just a week ago so I'm terribly busy at the moment. Not sure when I will have the time to install or even try them.

    Ubiquiti USW-Flex: New PoE powered gigabit switch with 4x PoE pass-through (indoor/outdoor)

    It's not readily available here (Western Europe) either. I managed to find a Czech online shop that actually has them in stock. I ordered two yesterday evening and they were shipped today, should be here on Friday. Paid EUR 89 each (without VAT which I don't pay as I'm ordering this for and...

    Another PoE extender option (passive)

    Hi, I mentioned in the other thread about the USW-Flex from Ubiquity that I was testing another option for extending PoE. It consists of a combination of the following two devices: PoE Texas - GPOE-1-AB With Y-cable Gigabit single port PoE Injector GPOE-1-AB With Y-cable + the US-8-60W...

    Ubiquiti USW-Flex: New PoE powered gigabit switch with 4x PoE pass-through (indoor/outdoor)

    No, that one is 100MB only, the Ubiquiti USW-Flex is Gigabit which is what I need (not for the cams but for something else that's going to get connected to it). And as @aristobrat already mentioned, the USW-Flex is managed (Unifi controller) and supports VLAN which is also something I need. It...

    Ubiquiti USW-Flex: New PoE powered gigabit switch with 4x PoE pass-through (indoor/outdoor)

    Hi, Don't know if this has been mentioned but I just found out about the Unibiquiti Unifi USW-Flex switch: Ubiquiti - UniFi® Switch Flex https://dl.ubnt.com/datasheets/unifi/USW-Flex_DS.pdf PoE input Power Method (Port 1) PoE Mode 1: 802.3af/at (Pins 1, 2+; 3, 6-) PoE Mode 2: 802.3bt (Pins...

    YooSee SD-M5 doorbell: 1080p, PoE, RTSP, Onvif, only $66

    Nice, didn't even know those existed. Might end up using that myself, seems neater than using the YooSee wallwart and injector and it takes up one mains AC outlet less. Also good to see someone caring about labeling things properly. Just one thing: I just noticed this is outdoors. Does it...

    Dec 2020 - Comparison of RTSP Doorbells

    It's safe to assume you'll need the supplier's doorbell product. I ordered two chimes for my YooSee so I'll try to see if I can get both of them paired to the same doorbell when I get it. I'd rather have two moderate chimes than one very loud one. If you can believe the IP ratings of these...

    Dec 2020 - Comparison of RTSP Doorbells

    According to your table the EZVIZ DB1 "spec sheet claims to have PIR, but doesn't seem to be true." Are you sure about that? It does appear to have a PIR-like window inbetween the camera and the button. The YooSee spec sheet used to claim it had a PIR but not anymore. A link to the spec sheet...

    Dec 2020 - Comparison of RTSP Doorbells

    Good idea! In that case you might like to add that the YooSee's focus has to be corrected manually. At least that has been the case so far (vandyman and cinnman both reported this).

    Dec 2020 - Comparison of RTSP Doorbells

    I believe YooSee quotes the fov as angles diagonally (read that somewhere on their website but it may not have been about the SD-M5 specifically). If that is true the horizontal fov would be 145.8 degrees according to this: The VRguy's Blog: Converting diagonal field of view and aspect ratio to...

    That looks pretty good, is this after you corrected the focus?

    YooSee SD-M5 doorbell: 1080p, PoE, RTSP, Onvif, only $66

    Noticed that one before, it's an older product with lower res (720p) and arguably lower WAF. It also as a 100 minimum order quantity on the YooSee website for some reason. On the other hand it does have an actual PIR sensor, I think YooSee is full of crap about the one we've been discussing so...

    YooSee SD-M5 doorbell: 1080p, PoE, RTSP, Onvif, only $66

    No. The YooSee doorbell is passive PoE unfortunately. This switch uses the 802.3af/at PoE standard and either will not power the doorbell at all or may fry it (instantly or eventually) if it does. Or, do I need to use the pigtail injector supplied and plug it into the switch and separate power...

    Doorbell location - potential problem

    The YooSee I'm thinking of getting (because it's PoE, Onvif, high WAF) doesn't allow changing the camera or mounting angle, but even if it did it wouldn't really help. The face would still be viewed from a 45° angle if someone is standing 34 inches from the door. Pointing the camera in that...

    Same here. Looks like you'll need to open it anyway to correct the focus. In the mean time I'm in a bit of a predicament with regard to placement: Doorbell location - potential problem

    Doorbell location - potential problem

    Hi, We'll be getting the keys to our new home soon. It wasn't until today that I realized that the location of the doorbell CAT6 connection point is far from ideal. I thought our front door was going to look like this with the doorbell really close to the door itself: However it turns out...

    Not our door

    I thought our door was going to look similar to this with the doorbell connection close to the door but it turns out our door frame is quite different.

    YooSee SD-M5 doorbell: 1080p, PoE, RTSP, Onvif, only $66

    They never replied directly to my email, their response seems to have consisted of updating the product page on their website and including, among other things, a reference to their wireless 'USB' chime which vandyman mentioned: Wireless chime receiver for smart doorbell camera The 'USB'...

    YooSee SD-M5 doorbell: 1080p, PoE, RTSP, Onvif, only $66

    This. It probably uses what is called a buck converter to regulate the 12-36V input to 12V (and then down to 5V and/or 3.3V). Supplying a higher voltage is likely to cause damage, if not instantly than almost certainly after a while. It should in principle be safe to connect the doorbell to a...

    YooSee SD-M5 doorbell: 1080p, PoE, RTSP, Onvif, only $66

    From the description on the product page it looks like it's simple passive PoE, using the 4 'spare' wires to carry power. It appears to accept 8-36V so there is some flexibility there. No real standard (802.3af or at) as such. Maximum cable length 50m (164 ft).

    YooSee SD-M5 doorbell: 1080p, PoE, RTSP, Onvif, only $66

    You'd expect it to work if you copy Cinnman's settings but other ports I've seen mentioned at the YooSee website for ONVIF are 5000 and 3702. That does sound a lot like Cinnman's original focus problem. It probably only appears to be in focus close by because you are looking at it on a small...
