Dear all,
As many of us, I want to purchase a video doorbell to see who has been at the door while I am away, to answer calls while away, see what’s going on at night / times I am not at home. Also: yes, we had a visitor one night for a party I didn’t know that was going on. He did not enter, but me, my wife and children got a wake-up call to make the home a bit more secure.
Since the frontdoor is accessible for anyone and (as many houses do have) directly facing the streetside, I want a doorbell which is vandalism proof but also integratable into openhab. I found the Reolink to be very popular but has a disadvantage that it isn’t vandalism proof. Another device I found is the Hikvision KB8113: made out of metal, can’t be removed and seems to fullfill many requirements I have.
Except: I can’t find for sure if the events it has can be used to trigger openhab to … (record, show picture, play sounds, etc.). Does anyone have any experience on using this KB8113? I would like to capture: ringing the doorbell, detect movement, etc. (all the events the doorbell has to offer). I found some sites but the information is not conclusive: some claim it can be done, other claim it is impossible (or at least: doorbell ringing can’t be captured which is the main event I want).
Any ideas or information is appreciated.
Best regards.
