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...

While I wholeheartedly agree with you, it's a bit more complicated. Without going too far into detail, one of the explicit requirements I am being given is that no photographers be present in the immediate area of those getting married. That being said, I am wondering if there are any 'think...

If I am not posting this in the right place, please direct me elsewhere. I will try to keep this short and sweet. Client wants to record wedding ceremonies, and the biggest requirement is that the solution allows for High Quality frame-by-frame recap. The idea is that an export of the ceremony...

Dude this is so awesome … is this not the best doorbell on the market?

Use the frigate add on in HA for 2 way audio via HA. There are YouTube videos showing exactly how to set it up:

1.) from what I can tell, yes, for the reolink app to be able to notify you of doorbell press, you need the doorbell to be Internet connected 2.) yes comes through as a visitor ONVIF event, but I had issues where sometimes nothing would register at all or it would register with a ton of latency...

All good!

Does your Amazon not show the coupon?

Not sure but worth a shot — you could order it on Amazon prime and if it doesn’t work send er back.

Ahh I see … I think if you use Frigate (which supports 2 way audio) in conjunction with Home Assistant, you might be able to streamline that flow faster.

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 +...

That is correct. TechBill was suggesting alerts for motion, but I only want 'visitor' (doorbell press) alerts. So, I have that working great using cam2mqtt --> Home Assistant push notification.

I appreciate this perspective. I may end up giving Scrypted a try at some point, but for now, I am working on building a ProjectCode AI docker container with NVIDIA GPU passthrough. For me, I really only want to be alerted when someone presses the doorbell. Me, my wife, and others, constantly...

Straight up the only reason I got it, and it's quite embarrasing, is because I live in a house with no doorbell lol. I work in the basement, and FedEx will come here to deliver packages that require signature, and they'll knock, and I won't hear it. So now, when they press the Reolink doorbell...

I use substreams everywhere. I just figured with my old CPU, i7-6700, HA was still necessary. Anyhow, I am just going to deal with it; I'll keep this damn PoE doorbell, even though if seems like a bit of junk. It still doesn't make sense to my why this camera is nowhere near as good as my Annke...

Ahh, I see -- No signal = 0 for all of my cams.

Where do I look for that specifically? I just stumbled upon this:FPS Drops - Blue Iris Saw they mentioned improved performance when turning off Hardware Acceleration. I just set HA on that camera to 'No' and it's improved a ton. What is going on with this camera lol? I have 8 other cameras...

OooOoo interesting finding in the logs: 'HW VA not compatible' for that particular camera.

Live stream is choppy both through the BlueIris desktop (thick) application, and through UI3 (browser web UI).

I tried that -- still no dice.

And, as I mentioned previously, viewing through VLC is perfect ... viewing through the Reolink 'Preview' window is perfect... It's just viewing the livestream via BlueIris that's the problem.

Yes, I tried 1024 Yes, I tried 1024 for Max Bitrate but still no dice.

I mean, at least the recordings are perfect ... I just don't have the knowledge of understanding why the recording would be great but why I can't get a half decent livestream.

I have experimented with all of the different stream qualities. It does get better when I drop it down super low but that's still not even what it should be. It will go down as low as 3 FPS even at 720p.

That screen recording was via UI3. But, it happens in both UI3 via PC and the BlueIris App on my iPhone. I have 8 other cameras that all run like a top, absolutely no problems.
