I have a smart light above the back door. It’s a Philips/Xiaomi Zhirui E27, but the important thing is that it’s HA compatible.
I also have an external camera (quite old) that points on the door from the roof. Had to wire it and it’s not as nice as I’d like it to be.
I was thinking, it would be better to try one of those light + 360° cameras : same functions, hidden camera (less vulnerable as it’s outside). Here is a link to the type of product, but I have no model decided : On Ali
Do you know any specific model that would work, at least :
wifi control
local control (no cloud)
turn the light on/off
retrieve the status
RTSP for camera (I’m using Zoneminder for detection and recording, direct HA display when alarm is off)
I’d rather have a native support, I’m not using MQTT for instance.
Not a fan of light + cam idea but I have recently become amcrest fan after replacing all my cam with this brand
Image quality and most importantly I like the UI
Maybe look at Amcrest ASH26-W. Never used it but I am considering giving it a try in an area where I cannot get wire and just happen to have use for flood light
Thanks, that’s an idea, of course I will need just one wire. Is the light available separatly in HA ?
But, I should have added, I have already a nice lamppost that has E27 bulb (where the Zhirui is currently), so I was looking for something fitting. That’s how I found these cheap light/camera. Though I guess the camera won’t be a problem (RTSP), I don’t know if the light part can be integrated to HA ?
