Pros

  • Reolink Doorbell + Scrypted to HomeKit + AppleTV pops up notifications on my TV (and iPhone) when the doorbell is rung.
  • I would send that RING doorbell back and get a Reolink one. I am a big fan of Ubiquity, but I can't justify $400+ for a doorbell when the Reolink does 80% of the same stuff for under $100.

  • I had Reolink (and still have the doorbell) and swapped over to Unifi when I did my network.

Cons

  • the reolink doorbell does that similarly also
  • Does unifi recognize your reolink door bell and alert and alert you through the app? No alerts or events. Just recording, sadly.
  • G4 Pro Doorbell (or Reolink doorbell, still deciding but G4 Pro is so expensive)
  • I have the Reolink doorbell.

Parent context: Reolink Doorbell. It doesn’t connect to your existing chime. It has its own chime which has 5 volume levels including mute. You will just get the alerts on your phone or Amazon Echo. The visitor will still hear a sound when they press the button but this can also be disabled. Reply: This. Works perfectly for me.

I got Reolink Doorbell currently connected to UniFi Protect and it records continuously with no issues. Mine is running at fixed bitrate.
