Perfect, I was indeed looking for that, since it seems dahua VTO2202F-P just turns on when the ring button is pressed.hikvision dont have linkage between IR and button press.. you can only set it to auto/schedule/off
The thing is, that I want to run the unit totally offline from cloud services. I was planning first to run DS-KD8003 internal SIP server (in case the unit has one), subscribe to that internal SIP server, the rest of the units, like their monitors, or any other sort of device. And in case I want to run another different SIP server, change all of the units to client mode. Don't know if this is possible or I will have issues with itown sip server is problematic , because you cannot use hik connect anymore, indoor stations does not work like with their proprietary sip server.. etc
However I do not see that dahua ones integrate NFC tag reading, and then the IR and button back light issue also there. So just want to know what functionalities are taken away if I pick a Hikvision unit, so that I can decide which one to use, Hikvision or Dahuayou can just connect with any softphone to the local dahua sip server

However for me to integrate other devices, I guess I will need to exit the propietary SIP protocol. Even if I decide to go with the propietary one, if I run out of the cloud, will I receive the calls/notifications on my android devices?You don't need to be connected to the cloud via Hik-Connect for the intercom to operate.
As long as you have a door station and an indoor station, and each one is programmed with the IP address of the other it will work. You can add slave indoor stations by pointing them to the IP of the master indoor station. Similarly you can add slave door stations to the master door station in the same way.
Hikvision just use a proprietary SIP protocol to communicate between each device. If you want to add a third party SIP device into the mix, then that's when you need to start looking at changing them to use SIP and losing some functionality.
So I guess that in case hikconnect servers are down, my mobile calls won't be able to happen, right?For hikvision not, the hikconnect official app, only works with cloud... If you don't want their cloud, the only alternative is use your own sip pbx
Not sure about dahua, probably the same
Yep, the problem with this, is I won't be able to see who is ringing before I take the call :/True, hikconnect sucks anyway, you will miss calls or the notification comes too late... Better to setup an PBX , then you have your own "cloud"
