Hi all, my Unifi Doorbell just died after only 4 years of service. I’ve been pretty disheartened with them lately, other products haven’t lived up to the company’s promise.
So I’m not looking to replace my networking stack yet, but I am looking for a doorbell camera. I only have the Unifi machine, but I also have an extensive docker/kubernetes stack, and mostly I want to use it with Home Assistant.
Any recommendations? Open to software, hardware, you name it. I have a few other Unifi cameras too, if they could be brought into the fold while I slowly migrate, I’d be interested. Thanks!
Reolink, aqara, or amcrest would be my rec.
I never even thought about Aqara, I have a lot of their things already. Do I need an NVR or something with that?
They have a paid cloud storage, but you can also store locally. I do recommend an NVR though, frigate or shinobi are pretty good options there
Got frigate set up, more mature than I expected!
