    Issues reported with this model including the mic.

    • Loveshk on 14/11/2024 - 12:18

      Really??
      I’ve been using this for 5 months now and have no issues.

      • 2pro4sho on 14/11/2024 - 12:24

        Have you had any issues? I'm also considering getting this

        Whats the delay like when someone rings the bell? Has the delivery guy already walked away by the time it comes up on your phone?

        • Sam of Ham on 14/11/2024 - 13:10

          Not conclusive, but the delay on the cameras is enough that I wouldn't trust it to connect me in time, but my wall situation isn't ideal and they take a sec to connect. I'd hope the doorbell was a bit quicker but WiFi is WiFi!

  • impoze on 14/11/2024 - 12:18

    so will this work with the NVR from this deal?

    • Loveshk on 14/11/2024 - 12:22

      Yeah if you have a Reolink NVR it works

      • bargaino on 14/11/2024 - 12:35

        Are you saying it requires a proprietary NVR?

        • klaw81 on 14/11/2024 - 12:52

          It doesn't require an NVR. It can be used with just an SD card.

          It can also be used with Reolink's standard NVR (mechanical HDD unit) or their Home Hub (flash storage + integrated chime) or Reolink's cloud storage (subscription required).

          It also supports RSTP and ONVIF so it should work with almost any modern NVR, including Synology.

    • bdl on 14/11/2024 - 12:53

      It works, but results in battery drain if NVR is connected with Home Assistant - dead within 24-48 hours.

      Home Hub doesn't have this problem, hopefully the NVR firmware will be upgraded in future to bring it up to speed.

    • pket on 14/11/2024 - 13:03

      like the wi-fi cameras it will work without the NVR, just need the Reolink app.

    Theres no 24/7 recording :(

      It's a battery doorbell…

      • bargaino on 14/11/2024 - 12:36

        Has connections for hard-wired supply.

        • bdl on 14/11/2024 - 14:10

          It's still a (PIR activated) battery cam that's being charged by hard-wired supply

    • klaw81 on 14/11/2024 - 13:18

      Theres no 24/7 recording

      You can do 24/7 recording if you provide external power. You can use existing doorbell wiring, a DC supply or a solar panel.

      And of course you need lots of storage - connecting to an NVR or the Home Hub is probably best.

    • Classical on 14/11/2024 - 13:30

      Not sure why people are downvoting, but just letting people know this model cannot do 24/7 continuous recording even when hard-wired compared to Aqara G4 or Tapo D235 which are also battery video doorbell.

      • FoxJump on 14/11/2024 - 14:13

        but people literally said above that it can.

  • bdl on 14/11/2024 - 12:51

    If you get the chime you need to contact reolink support to get the firmware upgrade to version 4185_24103029, otherwise it won't pair with the chime more than once.

    It took me about 4-5 days of mucking around with support to get it to upgrade (these newer models are able to be sd-card firmware upgraded).

    Apparently the chime only works when the doorbell is in standalone mode, not when connected to a Home Hub. I've got another Home Hub coming tomorrow so going to test if this is the case.

    Also, connecting it to a Reolink NVR12W results in battery drain (dead overnight) when NVR is connected to Home Assistant. Connecting it via a Home Hub to Home Assistant does not have this battery drain.

    I've also found wifi is inferior to the Google nest doorbell battery.

  • DoaAn on 14/11/2024 - 12:54

    I saw a review that says there’s 7-10 second delay between being within range of the doorbell and the motion sensor alerting to motion sensed.
    Can anyone else verify if that’s true?
    Considering the narrow entry up to my door, someone could be back down the stairs and in their car before I get an alert. I have similar issue with the Aqara g4, which is one of the reasons I’m considering replacing it. That and that it can’t integrate fully in home assistant. Ie, no recording.

      Here's a review that talks about time delays etc. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xxpzriDcMUY

      Battery powered doorbells are always going to have limitations around response time - they simply don't have the power budget to stay awake and fully connected at all times. If response time is a high priority, hard-wiring to external power is the only way to go.

      • DoaAn on 14/11/2024 - 13:32

        Thanks for the link. Watching it now.
        Unfortunately I don't have any hardwired doorbell at the moment OR a plug anywhere near the front door, so I guess if I decide to get another doorbell I'll need to either hire an electrician to install one or the other or just deal with the delay of a battery powered one.

  • zakarados on 14/11/2024 - 13:04

    Can you connect two doorbells to one chime? I have a wired doorbell and chime and want to add this wireless model.

  • cristtos on 14/11/2024 - 13:27

    I have some bushes in front of the door, will the wind ruffling the foliage trigger the camera?
    TIA

    • bdl on 14/11/2024 - 14:09

      No, since this is PIR triggered since a battery cam

  • kaboom mel on 14/11/2024 - 13:37

    Is this better than the google doorbell? I am running at moment and i get the video of the person on the google home. Its slow though and takes a few seconds. Is this going to be an upgrade or different in someway?

    • bdl on 14/11/2024 - 14:09

      I've got both, google doorbell battery is better. This one has no subscription.

    • klaw81 on 14/11/2024 - 14:26

      Here's a review: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xxpzriDcMUY

      He has the Nest, and says he prefers the Reolink, on the basis of fully local storage and no subscription.

  • Reverbs on 14/11/2024 - 13:40

    I assumed, it you don't have a chime then you wouldn't know if someone ring your bell unless you get notification on your phone?

    • bdl on 14/11/2024 - 14:11

      Correct.

      If you have a home hub you can use that speaker to ring instead of the chime.

      Chime uses 433mhz, home hub uses wifi

    • zakarados on 14/11/2024 - 14:15

      The chime is the best so you get notification instantly when they are there…
      If you wait for the notification then open app, and wait for app to load the video, they will be long gone.

  • Musiclover on 14/11/2024 - 14:21

    So what's the difference between this and https://reolink.com/au/product/reolink-video-doorbell-wifi/? I was of the opinion that the Wi-Fi doorbell was wireless too? But it is not? This battery one is even more expensive and does not come with a chime.
