The excellent Wifi version of the Reolink doorbell is currently at its lowest-for-a-while price of £85.49 (slightly cheaper than when I bought it at £89.99)

To get this price just continue through to the checkout - the 5% discount will be automatically applied.

You can also get the PoE version at £82.99 with a clip-voucher if that suits you better.
I opted for the Wifi version because it was easier for me to install, but PoE is great if you can get an ethernet cable to your doorbell (and add a PoE injector) as its then a single cable, and no chance of problems due to bad wifi. Sofar though the Wifi performance has been perfect for me.

I would highly recommend this doorbell, having previously had a Ring Pro, and then a Blink doorbell. Unlike most other video doorbells the footage it takes is yours to do what you want with - just record to the doorbell itself (on a MicroSD card), stream to a NVR, transfer via FTP - e-mail, whatever. You do also have the option to pay for cloud storage too. Performance is excellent, and being a wired doorbell can record 6s of pre-event footage (or even record continuously if you have a NVR)

    A good thing about this doorbell is it works with a Synology NAS as storage.
    sapstar's avatar
    Doesn't need to be synology. Any nas with an ftp should do. I was able to write it to an ftp share on terramaster nas. Now connected to a dedicated nvr. Lots of options with this doorbell.

    The PoE is £82, which one is better?
    Ian_Coggins's avatar
    They are identical other than the WiFi version having a WiFi module. WiFi version can also be powered by PoE if you can cable to it. I have a WiFi one and power via PoE mother in law had WiFi powered by old doorbell wire. I installed both just before Xmas.

    Is this the best of the lot? I don't want ring or blink.
    Also there's used like new, but there's 8 of them. Surely they're gonna be new and probably just damaged packaging or something?

    Edit: looks like people are saying the WiFi is terrible even when close to the router and smart home integration is pants. Pity.

    Might consider the PoE version, but will it work over Power line adapters? (edited)

    I have the WiFi one and it's been a solid connection sofar. Admittedly it's pretty close to the wireless access point though. Not sure who is saying the WiFi version is bad, but that's not my experience!

    PoE version of course removes that concern. It should work over powerline adapters, but won't be able to provide power that way of course (unless there's such a thing as a combined powerline adapter/PoE injector). You'd probably need 2 power sockets close to where you want the doorbell. Powerline adaptor in one and PoE injector in the other (short Ethernet cable connecting the two and longer one to the doorbell). That'd work OK I think.

    You could skip the Poe injector and just run both Ethernet and a separate power cable to the doorbell. It includes a power adapter and a length of cable to do this in the box. But you can Also do this with the wifi doorbell (WiFi doorbell also has a Ethernet port, it just can't be powered that way)

    A few questions:

    Does the WiFi version work with an existing Reolink NVR that has CCTV cameras plugged into it?

    Without using the cloud storage can you view live footage, or stored footage from anywhere? Do you get real time alerts regardless of what version you get?

    What is the use of cloud storage and how much does it cost?

    Thanks in advance

    The best setup is getting a local SD card for event footage and NVR for continous recording.

    Both WIFI and POE should work with exiting NVR but depending the number of hardware revision, some of the NVR are not able to output 8K footage to a monitor properly due to the limitation of display card in certain hardware revision.

    However, you should able to view full resolution on desktop client and mobile app.

    All installed after a bit of faffing with setup.
    Decent clear image,
    ONVIF and RTSP working fine. Alexa, Google assistant all working.

    Only thing that I'm a bit wary of is that this could easily be nicked off the wall. All that's needed is a simple pin/small screwdriver underneath and it comes right off in seconds. (edited)

    True. It's probably not likely to happen but I guess you could screw a security bolt into the wall just below the doorbell to hinder access to the pinhole

    Also has local SD storage.

    I have WiFi version and works really well. No issues with connection and subscription free/local storage option.
  9. dioxyde0's avatar
    can someone explain poe vs wifi to me? i'd like to wire this from a socket if possible
    who_are_you_uk's avatar
    Poe requires it to either be plugged directly into the NVR (recorder), or a network hub/ router that supplies Poe ( power over ethernet). Only other way is to buy a Poe adaptor that plugs into a mains socket, and then you also need power line adapters or a WiFi extender with a ethernet socket. The WiFi version just needs a mains socket and should connect to your WiFi on your router if not too far away.
  10. Skyjack's avatar
    If you planing to power this from socket you need WiFi version.

    Wifi Cameras can be jammed whereas the POE can't.
    Also the link to the recording NVR supplies the power to the camera so no other power cables required.
    I have the POE version and it's brilliant.
    ashyt16turbo's avatar
    The problem with where I'm gonna put the doorbell is that someone could quite easily just sneak up along side it and just cover it up.
    No need for jammers.
  12. sleepypig's avatar
    Been using the Reolink suite and I quite statisfied with the product.
    If you have the luxury of laying the LAN cable then POE is better.

    You can pair with Reolink NVR and NAS/FTP for secondary storage.
    No online subscription required and you can keep your data local.
    ashyt16turbo's avatar
    Or in theory stream to your own cloud storage via appropriate software.

    Got the Wifi version of this last month and it's brilliant.
    Intergrated very well into Home Assistant.

    I have an existing wired door bell. How difficult would this be to install one with a SD card with WiFi please?
    Gorskar's avatar

    If the existing wired doorbell provides enough power (needs to be in the range 12 - 24 V) then it should be pretty straightforward. All the necessary parts are in the box - you bypass the existing chime using an included cable (just a case of opening the chime box, and screwing a bypass in between 2 points - the instructions are pretty good)
    Then you remove your old bell button - and connect the new doorbell in place - again there are extra bits of cable in the box to make it easier to connect to the old doorbell wiring.

    See - How to Install Reolink Video Doorbell Cameras to the Existing Doorbell Wiring

    If the old doorbell does not supply enough voltage then you will either need to replace the transformer (which might need an electrician) - or alternatively just use the plug-in wall adapter included in the box - which comes with a length of cable to run directly from the plug to the doorbell. MicroSD card can go straight into the doorbell before you mount it.

    Once the doorbell is powered the rest is pretty straightforward - just follow the instructions in the app. The new chime just plugs into an available power socket somewhere in the house. You should be able to easily add the doorbell in the Reolink app and start using it!

    If the microSD card is in the doorbell, what is to stop a thief just taking it off the wall? They would get all the recordings.
    Gorskar's avatar

    That's why you should always have a 2nd place where you store the recordings. This doorbell gives you loads of options for that.
    1) cloud storage (for a fee)
    2) FTP to whatever FTP server you configure
    3) stream to an NVR (either the reolink one or pretty much any other, it supports standard protocols)
    4) email clips to you

    If you are worried about the WiFi signal being jammed then connect the doorbell via an Ethernet cable (you should opt for the PoE version if this is your intention from the outset, cause it can then power the doorbell by the same cable. The WiFi one can also be connected via Ethernet, but it still needs a separate connection for power)

    Personally I just have a FTP server running on a raspberry pi inside the house, and have set it up to FTP clips to that. I might configure a NVR for continuous recording at some point in the future

    How the quality of the camera vs Google doorbell?
  18. EV8's avatar
    Love to get the POE version and plug it direct into my NVR. Cannot figure out how to get a cable to my front door though, I cabled the rest of the house at build stage but doorbell wasn’t on my provision list for cat6 (edited)
  19. ashyt16turbo's avatar
    Received today, bit miffed the power cable is black. Who has black door frames inside!?
    Gorskar's avatar
    Author
    Never thought about that, as I used the existing wiring, but yeah white would definitely be better! I guess you could paint it, or put the cable in some trunking or a white cable tidy, but silly it's not white to start with!
