Wired Video Doorbell with Chime, 2K+5MP HD, 2.4/5GHz Wi-Fi Doorbell Camera for Home Security, 180° Wide View, Video Call, AI Detection, No Monthly Fee For Local Storage, Hardwired/Plug-in

This is the 3rd reolink doorbell i have installed for a friend This doorbell is just insane it has unreal clarity during the day really putting other on the market doorbells to shame. The ease of instalation onto existing doorbell wiring or using a poe coinnection is ideal! Pros: Doorbell can be connected to a privet virtualised network allowing greater security by keeping it seperated from the main home network. It has AI built in so in can keep you home safer by dectecting different levels of motion and telling the differnece between them including people, cars, general motion and pets, a new update also has it detcting packages. It also looks sleek in all black, so doesnt stand out on the wall or door. For the value it is great, because you don't need to pay insane monthly subscriptions to keep your recordings you just shove in a 256gb micro sd card and now you have 24/7 recording! overall its a great product with great feautures and should be in your list of choices for doorbells. cons: the mounting bracket should have removable side holes for when wiring doesnt come from behind the camera

Having wanted a doorbell that I could integrate with Home Assistant, have local control over, block cloud access but not hamper its features, not be tied into anyone’s expensive hardware (unify) and still have excellent quality at a reasonable price point, I went for this. I went for the WiFi version despite the obvious downsides, as I have other cameras and this is more for notifications rather than security - and it would be difficult for me to run PoE to its location (I was, however, really pleased to see Ethernet as an option in case that changes in the future). Despite being released for some time, this doorbell still ticked all the boxes. The signal strength to my unify APs on the 2.4GHz band is 100% in the unify console with the nearest UAC-AC-Pro approx 5M away through brick wall - so the antenna in the doorbell is obviously good. I paid £85.49 after applying a 5% voucher for this doorbell, which I thought was pretty amazing considering the competition (especially since the sensor in this unit consistently comes out in the top few). I have it integrated with HA and Frigate using the Coral TPU and so far performance has been good. I’ve never really taken much notice of Reolink before, but I must say I’m really quite impressed. Config can be handled entirely from Web UI, but even their app works locally or via VPN despite being blocked from WAN access (after the initial setup). WAN access was blocked using DNS to restrict just Reolink’s domain and sub domains so that NTP still works, with HA handling push notifications. Video quality is excellent with adjustable settings and ONVIF and RTSP work well. There’s a ton of under the hood settings and granularity - for example AI person and motion detection as well as image colour/brightness etc. The settings for AI and motion are obviously handled in camera and have been useful in refining the notifications sent to my phone via HA. This allows the separate AI person detection in Frigate to work independently so gives total control over events. As a side note: It wasn’t clear from the plethora of YouTube reviews if the button ring led lights on visitor approach (a feature I think looks really slick) but I can confirm that it does, and this is handled by the doorbell unit itself. Firmware is available from the Reolink website without allowing the doorbell WAN access (another tick in the box). I wanted the push notifications on my phone to have the same tone as the door bell and chime. A quick search found a subreddit where someone has provided all 11 audio files. This made it easy to import into HA on my phone to have a more synchronous alert experience. In terms of the product features, I’m really impressed. I’m also thoroughly impressed with what’s in the box. I was expecting no PSU like other brands, and expected to have to get a 24v transformer, but this comes not only with a PSU, but a very generous extension cable and various other leads to integrate with your existing wiring and chime. So in summary: If you are looking for something you have total “un-crippled” control over without spending a ton, then go for this. I solved the issue of the quick release slot (which all these smart doorbells seem to have to be fair) by installing a corner bracket directly below the hole (at bottom of unit) which I painted black with hammerite. The screw into the wall is a security torx. I don’t think one can reasonably do more than that - if someone’s determined to rip it off the wall after that, well then they probably always would have. I’ve only had this 48 hours so I will monitor and update if I experience any issue but I really am genuinely impressed with this so far. :-) Reolink appear to be getting every aspect right so far…. 👏 I hope they stay this way and I cannot wait for their next Doorbell (hopefully with a package cam and LCD screen? ;-)) Update (20240301): Having now had this installed for about a month I can say that I do not regret my purchase decision. The only downside that I can tell of so far is that the WiFi signal strength occasionally dips (I setup an automation in HA to notify my phone) but I solved this by placing a repeater near the front door, just to ensure continued connection. The weather has been awful recently so I suspect this to be the cause. Most likely in summer I will have zero issues. As previously mentioned this is not for 24/7 recording, if it were I would probably recommend the PoE version just to ensure connection. After installing the repeater, the unit is now approx 2 meters from an AP. I repeated a site survey to ensure WiFi interference was not a factor. I am still under the opinion that this is an excellent unit for the price - even the WiFi version - considering the flexibility and feature set. WiFi signal issues can most likely be mitigated and this continues to be a viable option for those who cannot run PoE to the front door. The unit continues to work well with frigate and HA. I have experienced no other issues with it. I’m giving this a 10/10 because I truly believe it represents value for money and it does the job I wanted and more. I will absolutely be keeping an eye on Reolink’s offerings in the future.

I looked at various other doorbell cameras from Eufy to Ring and settled on buying this for £96.99. For me the no on-going membership fee was important. I have it running with BlueIris as my DVR for continuous recording. I've also tried AgentDVR and that works well too. I did have it working with ONVIF detection, and I tried RTMP but I've settled on RTSP for now as it seems a little more reliable. I have the WiFi version and it does occasionally freeze for a few seconds and then picks back up. Some DVRs will skip these frames and so you'll see a jump, others won't and so it'll just speed up for a bit, with nothing lost. The in-built Person detection works well. We've had cats and cars go past our driveway and nothing was triggered with the person detection. Recording of motion is handled well and can be set up in the app. You can even set a Mask if you want to black out a section of the image from being recorded, e.g. a neighbors property. The camera integrates well with Home Assistant (HA). From HA you can change the auto reply, whether the camera records onto its internal SD card, it also gives access to the Person and Visitor (when the doorbell is pressed) detection. Allowing you to do stuff in the automations. For example when the doorbell is pressed I get a notification popup on our LG TV with the camera image showing. Be aware it does connect to the internet. I uses a few domains p2p pushx, etc. I blocked it from any internet access and the app stops working, but also not having access to an NTP server meant the time was wrong too. I've tried granting it access to port 9000 and a few other things, but can't get the app to work locally. Shame, but it doesn't matter to me much. The actual doorbell ringer is a separate device that plugs into an electrical socket. The Reolink app works well, and it's convenient to view local recordings of all reolink cameras. You can also change the settings from here. This camera does have the ability to do a time lapse, which for a doorbell becomes a cool toy. i.e. nice to play with initially and then I got bored off. It's a good camera with decent features, good quality picture at daytime and a decent one at night thanks to it's IR LEDs. It was very easy to setup. It has the ability to record any motion on to it's SD card. You can set up the doorbell to respond when you're not able to answer the door and set your own messages. Overall I'm happy, it works well and has integrated well into our house.

I recently got the Reolink video doorbell camera, and I must say it's been a game-changer for my home security setup. First and foremost, the quality of this camera is outstanding. The video is clear and sharp, and it captures everything I need to see. Whether it's a visitor at the door or any unusual activity in the vicinity, this camera has it covered. Setting it up was a breeze, thanks to the user-friendly app. The initial setup requires the app, but after that, the RTSP function comes into play. This feature has been a game-changer for me. I use it seamlessly with Scrypted NVR for 24/7 recording, Frigate for smart detection, and Home Assistant for complete automation and integration. One minor thing to note is that the power supply it comes with has a slightly thicker power cable than usual. It's not a deal-breaker by any means, but it's worth considering when planning your installation. What truly sets the Reolink video doorbell apart is that it's much better than my previous Ring doorbell, and it doesn't require any subscription fees. This is a significant advantage, as it means I can enjoy all the features and functionality without ongoing costs. In conclusion, the Reolink video doorbell camera is a fantastic addition to any home security setup. It combines great quality, easy setup, and versatile functionality, making it a top choice for those looking to enhance their home security and automation. Highly recommended!

If I could give it zero stars I would. Unpacked and installed the unit onto the wall next to the front door. The wifi router is in the hallway approx 5m form the doorbell. That's when the fun started..!! In the Reolink app you have to initially pair the doorbell with a QR code that the app will display on your phone. No way would it recognise the QR code, no matter what I did. Eventually I had to disconnect the door bell, wire it via the included power supply (I was using the original doorbell transformer to power it), and then stand under the router to pair it. After a couple of attempts it finally worked. Connect via 2.5ghz wireless signal and refitted it to the door. Very impressed with all the functions and quality and spent a bit of time configuring it to our requirements. The following morning tried to access the doorbell via the app which told me it was disconnected. Had to factory reset the doorbell and go through the same procedure to reconnect using a 5ghz wifi signal this time. Everything worked as normal for the rest to the day but that evening the app had kicked out the doorbell again... Over the next two days the same issues were occurring no matter what I tried so I said enough was enough... I removed the doorbell with all it's fittings, contacted Amazon who facilitated a return with free shipping. Well done to Amazon for a hassle free return and once proof of postage was received I got a full refund. I have now purchased a Tapo doorbell which is working without a glitch and it is doing exactly what it says on the tin..!!

Just had to write a review on this particular camera doorbell. I initially had a Ring doorbell and like others, got fed up with their subscription charges and wanted something I just buy once and then have nothing to pay and all recordings kept on my SD card or setup to record via my CCTV camera setup and onto my NVR box. Due to the fact the Ring doorbell was run via battery power, I decided to get my local sparky in to hardwire the power to a bell of his choice and he choose the Tapo D235, everything was fine for a few days and then it started to lose connection, lag between motion and bell press, so alarm detection to our phones were delayed and I am convinced it was because my internet connection runs via 5ghz/2.4ghz and the Tapo only supports 2.4ghz, I did split the network and created a 2.4ghz only and then reconnected the bell to the split but again after a few days, connectivity issues came into the equation, thats when the research came into action and I searched for something better, low and behold THE REOLINK WIRED VIDEO DOORBELL. This bell is outstanding and not missed a beat since I installed it, crystal clear video both day and night, easy to set up, easy to use app and there is even a desktop (PC/Mac) app too. It maybe down to the fact that this bell supports 5ghz and must surely have a more superior antenna inside the bell but all in all, I would certainly recommend this bell to everyone who is looking to replace their subscription doorbells, you will not regret the change, if there is any critisism for the Reolink and that would be the bell only supports a maximum of a 256g SD card where as the Tapo had a 512g no big issue at all, just a users preference I guess with how much data they want to store before videos start to be overwritten. Marks out of 10 for this product ? A MASSIVE 10 and would certainly buy this again if I needed to.

This doorbell works really well, and I'm very pleased with it. Would highly recommend. Based on previous experiences I would very much recommend a permanently powered doorbell like this rather than battery powered - as that's the only way you get good pre-event recording. I was able to wire it to existing doorbell wiring so it was very easy to install - you need a (min 12V, max 24V) supply for the doorbell - I already had a 24V transformer installed for the doorbell wiring due to a previous Ring Pro install, which worked perfectly. Many older UK doorbells are only 8V though - so check the voltage is high enough (or replace the transformer) if you want to use existing wiring. If you dont already have doorbell wiring, or it can't supply enough power then you can instead power it with the included plug-in power supply - a good length of cabling is included in the box, but you may have to drill a hole through your doorframe for it. But worth it! Once installed and powered it does the job brilliantly. Will integrate with alexa or google home. The included wireless chime works well. You can't buy additional chimes from reolink separately unfortunately - but apparently any programmable 433Mhz chime will work. According to the internet the KERUI M525 works for example. Because its a simple 433Mhz signal for the chime the doorbell will still ring even if your Internet connection is down! The wifi connection has been rock solid in any case. Helps that it supports both 2.4GHz and 5GHz!. You do have an ethernet port on the doorbell too so you can skip wifi altogether if you want to. The APP works well, alerts come through instantly. It can notify you for any motion, or it can detect a person and notify for that. The app connects pretty much instantly, and the video quality is great (including at night) Unlike many doorbells you have a complete choice as to where your footage is stored, and you do not have to pay a subscription. You can have the doorbell store video 1) On a MicroSD card on the doorbell itself. That's easiest, and costs nothing, but I'd recommend an additional storage option also for backup/security from one of the following... 2) Reolink Cloud service (£32.49/year) 3) Reolink NVR (check amazon for current price https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B0CDW6N7V5 ) - One off fee, and once set up will store footage from the doorbell + other security cameras. Can record 24/7 with this. 4) FTP Server. The doorbell can transfer recordings via FTP to whatever FTP server you configure. This is what I have set up - an old Raspberry Pi with a large USB storage key. 5) RTSP / ONVIF stream. You can have your own NVR record 24/7 with this option. It can also e-mail clips to an address you configure if you want. Basically this doorbell is brilliant - It does everything I want - and leaves my previous Ring Pro (and then Blink) for dust, and all for just a one off purchase price!

Edit: Ok, I initially reviewed at 1 star to draw some attention to the issue below... obviously it did something since I've had messages offering various support (though not a solution to to the problem described). Anyway, now I've cooled down a bit I'm revising to 4 stars. The doorbell is actually very good. The picture is great, response time is good and motion detection, while over sensitive initially, can be tuned to a very fine degree. The issue with the Echo Show devices is not quite as bad as I initially feared, in that you can still request they show the doorbell feed, it is just that you have to disable the automatic jump to the feed on doorbell press, otherwise it messes up the app audio functionality. This is still highly annoying, since "Alexa, show my doorbell" takes a fair few seconds to work, & by the time you've asked for it you may as well just go and answered the door! And it still seems like something that should be solveable, and that other doorbells can achieve. But it's not a dealbreaker, I just hope Reolink get on with sorting it out ASAP. Original Review: Installed my Reolink this week... in most aspects I am happy.... picture is good, software is good, installation was fine... really all good. The big problem came when I found that I was unable to use voice communication from the app on my phone. Obviously, this is one of the key components of these smart doorbells, so not having it is a big issue. After some digging around online, I find that the issue is that I have integrated the doorbell with my Alexa setup, and it turns out that if you have the doorbell enabled on Echo Show devices (I have 3 of them), they 'hijack' the audio communications, rendering it inoperable for use through the app. This is, frankly, ridiculous. Being able to use the doorbell through the Echos was one of the main reasons I got it, but now I find I have no choice but to disable that integration, or lose the even-more-essential communications through the phone app. This is unacceptable. There are forum posts showing Reolink have been alerted to this issue for more than a year, but seemingly no fix is forthcoming. Other doorbells do not have this issue, so it surely cannot be an insurmountable technical challenge. I was planning to follow the doorbell with an investment in a full Reolink security camera setup, but this has shaken my faith in the company and for now those plans are on hold. For now I am going to have to stick with the doorbell as it is, without proper Echo integration. If no fixes present themselves in the new year I will be looking for alternatives. What a frustrating disappointment.

Die schwarze Reolink Video Türklingel Wifi 5MP ist jetzt seit ein paar Tagen bei uns in Betrieb und ich bin im Großen und Ganzen sehr happy damit. Es zeigt sich wieder mal, daß man manchmal einfach ein Produkt selber ausprobieren muß, um zu wissen, ob in Rezensionen erwähnte Nachteile für einen persönlich tatsächlich ebenfalls auftauchen/relevant sind. Im einzelnen war ich nach dem Lesen von Bewertungen skeptisch, was die Stabilität/Qualität des WLAN-Signals betrifft und unter welchen Umständen und wie schnell man an das Videosignal kommt. Ebenfalls interessant für mich war der Blickwinkel bzw. wie gut Personen, die direkt vor der Tür stehen, zu sehen sind und wie reaktionsschnell die Klingel ist. Es stellt sich heraus, dass alle erwähnten Punkte für mich nach dem Testen keine Kritikpunkte mehr sind: 1. das WLAN-Signal ist sehr stabil und reicht locker aus, um das Video-Signal zu übertragen (die Fritzbox steht im Wohnzimmer - zwischen der Reolink Türklingel und dem Router ist also eine Innentür aus Holz und dann die massive Steinaussenwand, Distanz ca. 13m), 2. der Videostream ist immer über die App sichtbar, auch ohne Aktivierung der Klingel. Der Aufbau des Streams dauert ca. 3 Sekunden nach Öffnen der App. Das geht auch unterwegs, ohne dass ich im WLAN Zuhause sein muß. Wenn die Türklingel bzw. der Chime sich meldet, öffne ich die App, um nachzusehen, wer vor der Tür steht. 3. der Blickwinkel nach Montage mit dem beigefügten Keil ist so, dass man die Person vor der Tür gut sehen kann. Die Montage und Einrichtung per App sind wirklich sehr leicht zu erledigen, man wird sogar per Stimme durch den Prozess geleitet. Leider war die Spannung meines alten Türklingelkabels nicht ausreichend für die Reolink; ich musste im Keller das mitgelieferte Netzteil der Reolink einstecken und habe es dann mit der Gegenseite meines Klingelkabels verbunden, danach funzte es. Die Möglichkeit, über die App mit Besuchern zu sprechen, ist toll und die Sprachqualität gut. Nun zu den Kritikpunkten, die für mich übrig geblieben sind: 1. ich hätte gerne, daß nach dem Klingeln die App automatisch öffnet, damit man sofort das Videobild hat. Das geht wohl nur über eine weitere Automatisierungsapp, wie Tasker o. ä.. Das habe ich aber noch nicht ausprobiert. 2. es ist möglich, daß bei Bewegungerkennung automatisch Aufnahmen (z. B. auf eine Micro-SD-Karte) gemacht werden, die man sich dann z. B. am Ende des Tages bequem über die App anschauen kann. Man kann auch den Schwellenwert/Empfindlichkeit dafür einstellen und tote Zonen definieren (z. B. öffentliche Bereicht), die mittels schwarzer Balken nicht sichtbar sind. Leider löst JEDE erkannte Bewegung auch zwingend einen Klingelton des Chimes aus, was total nervig ist!! Nachtrag: mein Fehler: man kann einstellen, dass der Chime nur angeht, wenn geklingelt wird und nicht bei Bewegungen. 3. die Möglichkeit des Anschlusses des Türöffners besteht leider nicht, eine Fernöffnung der Tür geht also nicht. Ich kann die Reolink Türklingel Wifi in schwarz wirklich empfehlen, trotz der Kritikpunkte. Das Preis-/Leistungsverhältnis stimmt, die Bildqualität auch und die Bedienung ist gut.

Quelques difficultés à me connecter au wifi, mais j’y suis arrivé après plusieurs essais. Le reste est parfait et correspond à la description.

Very high quality image, local-only app support, and good Home Assistant integration. The app can be a bit annoying, but I think that's inherent to the concept itself. You need to drill a hole on your doorframe/wall to route the cable through. They provide an angled mount, and if its not angled enough you can easily 3D print an extension. Needs good WiFi though, a bad connection will make the app load forever / notifications arrive very late.

Je possède déjà plusieurs équipements Reolink à la maison et je dois dire que cette sonnette connectée filaire 5MP est dans la lignée : du matériel fiable, bien conçu et performant. L’installation s’est faite sans difficulté, et l’intégration dans Home Assistant a été un vrai plus pour centraliser la gestion de tout mon système domotique. J’ai contacté le service client Reolink pour un souci mineur lié à la qualité optique de la caméra. Leur réponse a été rapide, claire et vraiment utile : le problème a été réglé en quelques minutes grâce à leurs conseils précis. C’est rassurant de voir une marque aussi réactive et à l’écoute de ses utilisateurs. La qualité d’image est déjà excellente en 5MP, mais j’ai hâte de découvrir une future version 4K si elle voit le jour. Bref, très bon produit et très bonne expérience utilisateur — je recommande sans hésiter !
