@user8963 The standalone VTO2202F-P has a better camera than the modular VTO4202F-P ? Do you perhaps have some screenshots comparing the two ? It would be a bummer because I thought that the camera was really good (even if for now I don't use it a lot). @Badstraw Yes I am using the script to...

Yes someone should post an update comparing properly Dahua and Hikvision with the latest models and firmwares. At that time I had to take a decision based on the available data, perhaps today I would take a different decision. For the standalone mode, I think the idea is that the Dahua Outdoor...

Indeed I thought that having the video was interesting, but in practice I don't care. My area is quite safe and seeing the people doesn't bring much to the table. Being able to recognize a person is a minimum, but targeting Full HD or 4k is perhaps a bit overkill. But there are some people who...

Dahua interface is really not that nice and it is really easy to get confused. However the hardware (the VTO) seems to be good (time will tell), and quite flexible: this was the deciding factor for me between Dahua and Hikvision. In the thread I referenced above, there were the following statements:

Oh perhaps you are right. But for me this is also a non-issue as it is not possible to approach the door in complete darkness. So I had to put a light outside anyway. If they cannot find the outdoor station (which is huge in my opinion), I think I have a problem with my guests ;-)

Yes be careful. Uploading a firmware is quite easy but don't put the wrong firmware...

For me this is not important, for others it is important. At night the Dahua switch the IR light when someone is ringing. Quality is quite good in this case. No as explained you can use an external SIP server (Asterisk or Fritz!Box for instance), but I personally prefer to use the Dahua SIP...

You need an appropriate router: I have a Fritz!Box which have a SIP client and a DECT server. The SIP client is subscribed to the Dahua SIP Server and the landline phone (DECT) are subscribed to the Fritz!Box. No issue with the app DMSS in iOS. The app is often updated and sometimes after...

You have 2 other recent Dahua integrations with Home Assistant: https://github.com/myhomeiot/DahuaVTO https://github.com/rroller/dahua

Regarding Dahua: There was an interesting comparison regarding image quality here: IP Video Intercoms I have the Outdoor station and it can work perfectly well without an Indoor monitor. You can also change the ring tone (using some kind of workaround). The Outdoor station has a SIP server and...

I think the latest Dahua doorbell fulfills all your requirements (VTO2202F-P). Even the smart phone app (DMSS) works correctly, but you can use Home Assistant if you don't like the interface.

I would like to use the VTO 4202F to open/lock the door. As the VTO is already receiving the power supply from PoE, is it possible to use the same power source to power the electric lock ? Perhaps I can use some kind of splitter to use the power from PoE or directly use an output port from the...

I would like to replace my Siedle Vario intercom by this Dahua VTO. Currently the Siedle intercom is triggering several physical door chimes when someone is ringing. Is is possible to use this Dahua VTO through PoE and at the same time triggering the physical door chimes ? It seems that I have...

Huurra ! ;-) Please also tell me how to change the VTO to German. I haven't looked into this.

I really need to write a complete tutorial about this topic. But here is how I did each step with debugging tools (to make sure that each step is correct). Pre-requisites: Dahua firmware update tool VDPConfig access to your router Dahua-DHIP-JSON-Debug-Console.py wireshark 1) Start with a...

I used the VTO with the VTH and managed to register my router SIP server to the VTO SIP Server. That way when someone is ringing, it also makes all my phones ring at the same time (and the VTH or any phone can answer the call)

I have almost the same setup and ran into the same issues. What really helped me was to use the script Dahua-DHIP-JSON-Debug-Console.py and to learn to use wireshark. That way you have all the tools you need to know exactly what is happening and debug yourself. If you are in Germany, you can...

And it works. I chose 9901 everywhere (on VTO and VTH) AND I chose 9901 on the VTO facade layout (didn't know that you could choose something there). Finally... It was a challenge !

Interesting; When I call the VTO from the VTH, I can see in the log of the VTO, that 9901 was calling. But if I go to the status of the VTO "Household settings", I can see that 9901#0 is online but 9901 is offline. What a mess...

Ok I trigger a factory reset for both unit and now they are linked ! I can monitor the VTO from the VTH or call the VTO from the VTH (number 8001). However I still cannot call the VTH from the VTO: "The number you dialed does not exist" Both configuration have however 9901#0 as room number...

A guide about how to make VTH/VTO working would also be useful, I can contribute...

No thanks ;-) I will try with this one first. Perhaps I'll try a factory reset of both VTO and VTH to see what is happening,

Thanks to your post, I didn't upgrade the language bin. That probably saved me. I changed several times between 9901#0 and 9901, no improvement

Yes I can ping it, as I can even SSH into it.

Hello, I ordered the VTO4202F-P and VTH2421FW-P. They got the same firmware as @Holbs : VTH version is : 20191209 v4.400.0000000.7.R VTO version is: 2020-02-21 V4.410.0000000.4.R Security Baseline Version: v2.0 I very quickly managed to be able to monitor the VTO from the VTH but I cannot...

Ok @catcamstar I got it I think. I have forgotten that I have a nice Asus RT-AC68 lying around which Tomato installed on it. I think I can recycle it into a router+switch to properly isolate the doorbells/indoor station. If I remember correctly, I was able to directly enter iptables instruction...

Something which looks a bit what I am looking for: https://kb.netgear.com/30818/How-to-configure-routing-VLANs-on-a-NETGEAR-managed-switch-with-shared-internet-access Or in german: https://www.msxfaq.de/sonst/iot/iot-router.htm The edgerouter really looks nice, it seems to do everything I would...

Hello @catcamstar, The Fritz!Box would have been capable of handling the VLAN and Firewall rules, however it has just 4 Ethernet ports, which is really not enough. I wanted to have a managed switch which could also managed VLAN and firewall rules (which port is opened, in which direction...

Ok thanks I think I got the picture. If I understand correctly, this should do the trick: 1) Buy a managed switch and put the doorbell + indoor station on a separate VLAN 2) devices inside the VLAN can communicate with each others, but the only outbound opened port is 2195 (push notification) 3)...

2) In the German forum, it is now found that Dahua issued a firmware with a SIP server inside. So there is no need to have Asterisk anymore. The Fritz!Box can define VLAN as well...
