    Amcrest AD410: at a loss, how to make an intercom display in my bedroom?

    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.

    New Reolink Wired POE Doorbell Cam ?

    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?

    New Reolink Wired POE Doorbell Cam ?

    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...

    New Reolink Wired POE Doorbell Cam ?

    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...

    Amcrest AD410: at a loss, how to make an intercom display in my bedroom?

    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...

    Amcrest AD410: at a loss, how to make an intercom display in my bedroom?

    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...

    Amcrest AD410: at a loss, how to make an intercom display in my bedroom?

    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.

    Amcrest AD410: at a loss, how to make an intercom display in my bedroom?

    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.

    Amcrest AD410: at a loss, how to make an intercom display in my bedroom?

    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.

    Amcrest AD410: at a loss, how to make an intercom display in my bedroom?

    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...

    Amcrest AD410: at a loss, how to make an intercom display in my bedroom?

    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"...

    New Amcrest AD410 doorbell Cam Review

    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...

    New Amcrest AD410 doorbell Cam Review

    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.

    New Amcrest AD410 doorbell Cam Review

    Thanks for the tip about disabling the AMCREST watermark and setting keyframe interval the same as FPS. My AD410 has the odd issue where there appears to be some sort of heartbeat issue where the feed stalls every 2 seconds briefly with the Monitor Center app on Synology Surveillance Center...

    Sweet! LTS is releasing an ONVIF compatible doorbell with SD card slot and 940nm IR

    I am using the V1.4.62 build 180726 firmware after hearing it is more stable than 180515 (plus it is newer, I believe it is a Nelly firmware) and 180809 (ding dong at bell doesn't stop) Hikvision removed the firmware from the EU portal for the DS-KB6003-WIP but the latest firmwares are still...

    Hikvision DS-KB6003-WIP Wi-Fi Doorbell chime?

    I don't have an experience with an additional external IR illuminator, maybe it is interfering somehow? Here is mine, also with the two cables disconnected. Before it was just a smudge of light and I couldn't make anything out at all The street lamp definitely interfered with the IR...

    Moving Hikvision DS-KB6003-WIP video door bell to new WiFi

    Hi guys, Is the only way to do this via the app > Wifi network code generator and making a new QR code in the hope the doorbell scans it after holding down the reset button for 5 seconds? I want to rename my 2.4GHz Wifi SSID to a single word, but it will also be in a new router. I could be...

    New ISP router and now unable to reconnect Hikvision DS-KB6003 to WiFi

    After hours of screwing around with it I managed to activate it by literally going to the IP address in the browser, man in 2021 it is so frustrating that companies still have crap apps to connect with things like this, including DAIKIN which is as bad. Now I can see it no longer recognizes the...

    New ISP router and now unable to reconnect Hikvision DS-KB6003 to WiFi

    So I have tried both ways to reconnect to the WiFi https://www.use-ip.co.uk/datasheets/hikvisiondskb6003wipusermanual.pdf Firstly running the network settings and trying to get the camera to scan the QR code (it doesn't) and secondly by doing a full reset, but nothing happens when I hold down...

    Hikvision doorbell camera - DS-KB6003-WIP

    Hi, I disconnected JP14 and JP15 yesterday, and while night vision is now greatly improved, it appears that motion detection recording in night view no longer works. I continuously record via NAS (because alarm recordings aren't supported in Surveillance Station) and was able to confirm there...

    Hikvision DS-KB6003-WIP Wi-Fi Doorbell chime?

    Not really keen on taking it all apart, but what about just using black permanent marker over the IR LED spots? Would that do the trick?
