Video Doorbells

[Will Stillwell]

Which video doorbells work with Camect?  Powered over the doorbell wiring?  

Of those which have the widest best video?  

I have a Ring Peephole camera.  It works.   I went that route because my wired doorbell is on the wall beside the the door.   and sideways to boot.  Because of the siding I might need a custom back plate.   I can 3D Print something to adapt if needed.   

I'm asking because I think I want to get rid of Ring because they are going to change their alarm monitoring in a way it may double my expense of them since this is the only Ring camera left and the other is just alarm stuff now.   All my ring cameras were replaced with Wyze cameras.   It would be nice if the Wyze doorbell v2 camera works with Camect.  Anyone know?  

I'm also open to other suggestions on a doorbell camera that works with Camect full time.

I’ve been reasonably happy with the Amcrest AD410.  Their native app kind of sucks, but when you’re using Camect things seem to work pretty well.  I do wish the button was more obviously a doorbell button… some people don’t figure out that part when they come to the door, maybe because it takes some pressure to activate.

Any one else with good or bad  experience with doorbell cameras? Moving into a new home so need to pick something else besides the Nest.

I just installed this last week.  I like it https://a.co/d/h3mnNaH

Tapo TP-Link Smart Video Doorbell Camera Wired, 2K 5MP, Color Night Vision, 180° Ultra-Wide FOV, 2-Way Audio, Free AI Detection, Cloud & SD Card Storage, Works w/Alexa & Google Home, D130

This aspect ratio is because I enabled a setting they have to remove a 'fisheye' look because the view is so wide I've also heard good things about a new reolink one.  Yes this tp-link camera works great with camect with onvif and rtsp support. It does have to hardwired to support that.  I also put a micro SD card in it just for good measure.  and I spy a package I should go get off the porch.
