Video Doorbell PoE

What you require (for maximum performance/security) are 2 cameras, possibly 3 even. You want 2 cameras (or more) because the first one will overlook the general scene (close to your home) and you will need another one with optical zoom, because 1/4 mile is a lot to cover. Cat 5/5e/6 can run up to 32

Yes, and they work really well. I have (had) a Reolink PoE doorbell on one AI Port and two RLC-1224A turrets on a 2nd one. In order to run two cameras, I had to reduce the resolution on them. I just got a G6 Pro Entry and two G6 turrets to replace them. I went full UniFi Protect. Anybody want to buy

Nice! Reolink has a great PoE doorbell camera, one of the best things I ever installed. Way better than any of the wireless ones I've tried and seen.

I second Reolink, have their PoE Doorbell camera and it is rock solid, pretty good video quality as well.

If that's not important for you then don't worry about it. Most of these cameras have a day/night function. They change modes and turn on the integrated IR illuminators. I have considered adding an IR flood to a motion sensor so that everything gets lit up better, even though no one can see it with

Of the 14 cameras I’m running with Frigate the POE Doorbell from Reolink is the worst. Like other posters have mentioned, it has very poor configuration options, and the sub stream resolution is very low. I’ve also had mine lock up and require reboots a couple times in the two years I’ve been runnin

I only use reolink cameras with Frigate and they are all rock solid. I have the poe doorbell, two elite pro floodlight poe cameras, and a wifi E1 pro. I use rtsp for all of them, and restream the native streams via go2rtc to reduce connections to the camera and decode h265 --> h264. Note i run friga

A lot has to do with matching needs. I really like my Eufy floodlight cameras and my reolink POE doorbell, as they do what I need without subscriptions, though they are not my primary security, for which I would just consider them a useful addition, but also mediocre.
