This PoE video doorbell has been previously popular and while it's a tad more than the previous deal it ends up being cheaper if you stack with Cashreward's 8% cashback and the 5% off automatic discount with AliExpress coins. Given this is AU stock it'll arrive quickly (likely from the Amazon warehouse) and there's no GST being charged at checkout.

The doorbell has a 5MP camera with 2K resolution, 180° FOV, person/motion detection, two-way audio, IR LEDs for night vision, chime (AU plug) with 10 tunes available, supports recorded voice messages, LAN Port (PoE version). You can use the Reolink app to access, playback and talk.

One of the big features this has compared to others (i.e. Ring) is that there's no monthly fees for using the cloud storage. Like other Reolink cameras it supports microSD cards, NVRs (Reolink, Blue Iris, Synology etc), RTSP streaming, FTP, Home Assistant, Google Assistant and Amazon Alexa.

    very good deal

    I'm waiting on the Reolink battery version. That or the Tapo D210/D225 variants

  • Cheers. Came to $82.22 paying with Afterpay

    Can ppl diy this or do we need to call electrician? What would be the installation cost for the latter?

    • -1

      If there’s an Ethernet cable already installed in the desired location you can diy the doorbell itself. Any permanent cables, ie under-floor, in-wall or in-roof cabling must be done by a registered cabler.

      • +12

        This is technically the correct answer. If you were to pay an electrician, they would usually charge a call-out fee and about $100 per ethernet drop location.

        I suspect that less than 10% of home security cameras would have cables installed in by an electrician or cabler. Ethernet cables are very easy to work with, it's low voltage wiring and anyone can buy the cable, terminations and crimping tools from Bunnings.

        • People make the exact same argument regarding electrical cables too but I would not advocate for the general public to DIY.

          FYI "low voltage" can refer to voltages up to 1000V. Ethernet cables (more specifically twisted-pair) should be extra-low voltage.

          • +1

            @J4ckal: I don't mess with domestic AC power in any way - that stuff can kill you. I have a few electrician friends who help me out with that kind of thing. I'm happy to work with mains power under supervision of a qualified professional, but I'd never do stuff on my own.

            But PoE is 48v DC, and no more than 1A. That's about as dangerous as a USB cable, and far less likely to to start a fire than a laptop charger. And yes, I am also guilty of cutting and splicing USB cables for some of my strange projects.

    I bought a refurbished one in the last deal, it is a big step up from the Orion wifi doorbell I had previously. Recommend.

  • When will they start selling chimes separately?

    • Now? You can buy them on Amazon.

      • Oh wow, last time I checked they weren't available. Thanks for that

    • +1

      Be aware there are v1, v2 and v3 versions of the doorbell and the additional chimes are only compatible with doorbell v2 and above. I found this out the hard way. :(

      This is how to check your doorbell version: https://community.reolink.com/topic/14494/doorbell-version-q…

      • +1

        What a shit show. Bought the chime from Amazon. Hopefully mine is a v2 or above. Ridiculous if I can't use the chime on my installed doorbell

      • ok new chime doesn't work with my doorbell. POS!

        I ordered a new doorbell since we live in a double storey place we need 2 chimes

        • Look on the bright side, it's an easy swap :)

          For future reference, the home hub has a speaker in it and can be used as a chime even on the v1 doorbells

          • @bdl: I don't have any other reolonk cameras. Currently running hikvision cams on a PC running Blue iris, so no need for the home hub. Pretty annoying since this product is pretty new still and to have 3 iterations already

  • When I try to use the code IFP9QL4 I get "For security reasons your request can't currently be processed".
    Anyone else?

    • Same here

    • same here too. any thought everyone?

    • same, same

  • +1

    Purchased the WiFi version for $99.61 delivered using the same two promo codes, thanks OP!

  • Has anyone tried replacing an existing doorbell? With our new home the current doorbell is only 9 volts whereas this requires around 20 volts. Are we best to just get a wireless one installed?

    • Yes, i got the wifi one and just spliced the existing wiring onto the provided power supply.

      (The PoE model doesn't come with the power supply)

    • The old wire that runs the 9v could be cut and used to pull through ethernet cable to power the PoE doorbell. Make sure the doorbell is not energised when you cut it (might need to turn off at the meter).

    • It says it requires 24V DC, I run mine at 12V no problem (as do others). Not sure about 9V though

  • I have a wired Ring doorbell and hate paying the subscription. If I get this - how easy is it to replace myself (does it just use the existing wiring)? Cheers

    • what existing wiring do you have? if it's a two wire power cable then the wifi one can use it

      • I'm not sure to be honest. I think it might be PoE?

        • +1

          If it is then the OP camera will work no problem.

          Googling around I think only the ring doorbell elite is PoE. Best way is to take a look at the back of the doorbell unit. If it's a ethernet looking plug then it's PoE, if it's two wires get the Reolink wifi model

  • Curious to know what you guys do with the indoor video conf unit which came with old doorbell ?

    • yeah im wondering too, i wanted to get rid of the big monitor on the wall

    • +1

      remove, patch and paint

    • I will try to replace it with a smart control panel like Amazon Echo Hub. No idea yet on how to do that, just an idea at this stage.

  • Got this from the last deal. Can't get it to work attaching to a Dahua NVR.
    Anybody here successful in achieving this unit to work with a different name NVR?

    • I'm not an expert, but I believe the key to interoperability is to log into the doorbell via browser and enable the relevant protocols (eg. RTSP) on the doorbell - these modes are typically switched off by default for security

      • Hopefully the NVR can just accept an RTSP or ONVIF signal, wouldn't surprise me if some of these NVRs are locked down in firmware to only accept the same brand

        • Thanks. Did alter the NVR channel to ONVIF, but that didn't work.

          • +5

            @Frankly Frankie: RSTP and ONVIF are disabled on Reolink cameras by default. This can only be changed in the camera's Web UI, not in the phone app.

            To enable ONVIF:

            1. Open a web browser and enter the IP address of your camera in the address field.
            2. Log into the camera with your username and password, click the settings gear and click Network settings.
            3. Scroll to the bottom of Network settings, click Advanced and then click on Port Settings.
            4. Scroll Port Settings and enable RTSP and ONVIF.

            Once you've got that done, you should be able to access the cameras in your NVR.

            • @klaw81: You can also change the setting in the mobile app (at least with PoE version):
              Camera > Settings > Device Info (clock on device name) > Network Information > Advanced : RTSP > ONVIF

              • @gerenuk: You're right - it seems to be an option on all my Reolink cameras now I'm sure that wasn't possible 6 months ago. Perhaps it's a new feature of the app….

            • @klaw81: Thanks. I don't know the IP address of my POE door bell.
              Looking online I will need to obtain a POE injector which will assist in this task.
              As for the mobile app, The doorbell is powered when connected to my NVR, yet the connection process on mobile always fails so unable to change settings via mobile.

              • +2

                @Frankly Frankie:

                I don't know the IP address of my POE door bell.

                There are a few ways to find this out, but the most common ways of doing this are:

                1. Log into the router, look at the list of connected devices (may be called DHCP connections) and find the one called Reolink Doorbell

                2. Use an application like Fing, which does the same thing but doesn't require you to access your router.

                Be aware that your camera's IP address may change occasionally, unless you tell your router to keep it the same (change it from dynamic to static IP).

            • @klaw81: What's your experience setting up human detection event alarmed on NVR, please?

              Sorry, I am unsure if I say it correctly. Thanks

              • +1

                @icecream: I use human detection to trigger lighting automations in the front yard via Home Assistant, and I'm very happy with the speed and accuracy of detections. It's very rare to get a false positive in the target zone.

                You can mask off areas you don't want to monitor for detection, and you can tune both the sensitivity and size of object used for detection to get the level of response you would like and reduce false positives. Be aware that this might take a little fiddling to get just right, but I found 3 or 4 tweaks over a couple of days got the result I wanted.

  • +3

    Got this on the last deal.

    Very happy. Have set it up with Home Assistant, scrypted and iCloud integration (was already paying for Apple one). Now have remote notification, cloud recording, parcel/person ID (it can do face recognition accurately if you have named them on your iPhone) and rings the doorbell on homepods / devices in the house with a 'John pressed the doorbell' message. Does 2 way comms in the iPhone Home app too.

    All this without having to pay a device specific subscription or have a separate app on your phone…

    • How long does it take from motion detect to notification? I currently have a Eufy doorbell that takes ~5second or so which isn't terrible but isn't ideal.

      • +1

        I wouldn't recommend using motion detection for alerts unless the camera has a very restricted field of view - you can tune the sensitivity, but I still got far too many false positives from trees moving in the wind, birds flying past etc. Using person detection instead gets rid of most of these false alarms, and the response time is still very quick.

        In general, cameras that are constantly powered will always be faster to respond and send alerts than battery powered ones. It's simply an issue of power budget.

    I just tried both the discount codes for the wi-fi unit and got "This coupon code is for single use only and can't be used here" for both :(
