What do you think about this Reolink Video Doorbell and the Home Assistant automations? Let me know in the comments! NOTE: since the new Home Assistant release 2023.2 there's an official Reolink integration now that supports this doorbell as well, so you do not need the HACS variant anymore!

So finally got the door bell actually quite disappointed that the door bell doesn't actually call your mobile to say someone is at the door. A notification by default will only send you a notification which is a short notification. I've had to assign a 30 second notification ring tone to a notification tone?? unless me and lot of other who are moaning about this feature has missed it some where?? Thanks for this vid though i will eventually implement the what you have done. How has the door bell been for the last 9 months??thanks paul

Once again a very good and clear tutorial from you. Thanks. I ordered this bell to and also took my ring doorbell off .

Look, these kinds of instructions are very instructive. People can do a lot with this. thank you for the time in this video!

Thanks. This is just what I was looking for!!!

I pre-ordered this product and received it recently. I got the wifi version. Works quite well. I was concerned about the view because my doorbell was mounted very low, like 3 feet off the ground. It turned out, the view was quite good and is wired angle to cover all the front entrance.

This is looking perfect for that spare camera license I have on the nas. Our maybe , just being able to store it in my nas is perfect

Bought one recently, in the process of getting it fitted. I’m new to home automation and gonna be getting a Home Assistant Green.

There are similar options like Foscam VD1 since 2020. Also perfect HA integration.

My wishlist for this doorbell: 1: Allow activating the “quick replies” from Home Assistant 1: If you want that as well please ask Reolink to enable it in their API. This has many uses. e.g. when you can configure home asistant to send you a notification with a picture when someone presses the doorbell (or even when it detects a person) and the notification can have several options that you can click on for what the speaker should say (e.g. leave the package at the door). face recognition: When the camera sees a person I have Home Assistant send me a notification with a screenshot. I’d like to be able to not send me those screenshots when it’s my wife etc. Not sure how to do that. 2: Allow activating the alarm sound from Home Assistant: 3: 2-way audio: would be great to have this working in Home Assistant and Synology Surveillance Station 4: Full integration with Synology Surveillance Station: (play custom sounds trough the doorbell, detect person, detect doorbell press, 2-way audio) (There's a form your can fill in to request Synology). Weird things about the doorbell: 1: Important information to make the Reolink work remotely with a VPN if you’ve blocked it from accessing the internet: by default the Reolink app adds the doorbell based on the ‘UID’ rather than it’s IP address and then it only works using the cloud once you have excited the app and open it again. To make sure you add the doorbell based on it’s IP address you need to delete the device if you already added it. Then disable wifi on your smartphone so that you are on mobile data. Then activate the VPN. Then add the doorbell using the option ‘input UID/IP’ then choose the IP option and enter the camera’s IP address. 2: This night the doorbell gave lots of person detection events (false as there was no-one) and no motion detection events. I don’t understand that as I thought a person detection event would always be preceded by a motion detected event. 3: When the doorbell switched to Infrared mode and vice-versa it seems to be falsely reported as a motion detected event. That’s a bit amateuristic.

Your best statement: "Goodbye Ring, Hello Reolink". I am waiting for the POE version to become in the US, was promised for Dec. Will be using with Blue Iris with integration with HA. I have two Rings to replace, so I'm not sure if each Reolink can only work with it's dedicated chime, or if there is a way that both chimes will sound regardless of which Reolink is signaling it. That is possible with the Ring system. Thanks for going over the useful HA automations and this long awaited review.

We bought the Reolink Wi-Fi doorbell camera to add to our other seven Reolink cameras. Oddly, it would record to the micro SD (128GB) but it would not present the Storage option on either Windows client. If we clicked Playback, it would warn us it had no playback...but once we confirmed the message, it would playback. We presumed it was defective and bought another one...with the same effects. All of our other cameras had the Storage option. After multiple days, we emailed support. The day that they replied, it suddenly had a Storage option and it now had the Talk, Audio Alarm, etc., buttons on the live video. I suspect something auto-updated, but I have no idea what resolved the issue.

Hey Ed, great vid as always. I have a question about the action URI in the automation. Is the URI you wrote out work generically? Or do I need a specific URI for my stuff?

You can control the volume of the Chime by pressing its button. Initially the volume goes up when you press the button. After the volume reaches the highest, it goes down if you keep pressing the button. Please note that the settings of the Chime can only be done locally; you can NOT control the Chime via App or Client. [from the website]

1. The Reolink Video Doorbell camera requires the user to bypass the existing chime first to get sufficient power. Without this step, there may be problems including but not limited to: The doorbell camera can't be powered on or it will be rebooted abnormally. The doorbell camera can be powered on but can't work stably. The existing mechanical chime will vibrate or sound abnormally. 2. The existing mechanical chime will not work anymore after the bypass. 3. Be careful when handling the circuit wiring. If you have any questions or need assistance, contact a qualified electrician. after reading this are you able to run the original chime with the doorbell and have sufficient power?

Great video! Thanks for the upload. I currently have two questions: does the HA integration work if I hook up the camera to a NVR (without PoE) and can the camera use a SD card for motion events and use the NVR for 24/7 recording?

First of all, Congrats for the Amazing Channel. I’m considering to buy this Doorbell but I have a specific need that maybe you can tell me if it’s possible. One of my most important needs is two way audio in AppleWatch. So I can see that reolink integration already have two way audio. (At least with Scrypted). Do you have any idea if it’s possible to achieve two way audio in AppleWatch using home assistant, scrypted and home bridge? Tks a lot

Fully disabling notifications for the Reolink app also disables the option to talk when someone rings the doorbell,which I'd still like to use. How did you handle this?

Good things to know before you buy: when someone presses on the button, you get a push notification on your phone. Not a call like other doorbells. I find that a major annoyance. Also if you have bright lights in front of your house, the camera on the doorbell will compensate for that and you will barely see the faces of visitors. Otherwise it's a pretty solid device.

I didn't try it yet, but I think the Reolink integration supports two way audio now. Not sure how this should work tbh.

Can you use this with the Eufy-doorbell as well?

This one vs dahua VTO2202F-P-S2? Reolink have a better design, for sure, but the rest?

Port settings is now called Server Settings
