New Logitech Doorbell Cam

[Ip2b]

It looks interesting, but I can't tell if it will have RTSP. It looks like it's motion-based recording onto iCloud for Homekit.

Two detractors for me:

1. It's Apple based, and
2. WiFi required, meaning cannot connect ethernet directly.

Point 2 though is common to many doorbells out there. I currently have a Swann video doorbell (WiFi) and as soon as something hits the market that is POE and locally controlled I'll consider it.

Another detraction for me is the amount of lens distortion. We know you can't trust the marketing pictures often, but when they post a distorted picture, then you have to worry. To my mind you can't claim a best in class picture then publish a picture that looks like you veiwing someone through a fish bowl. If companies are going to use ultra wide angle lenses then they need to buy ones that don't distort the picture.
