I have a TP Link standard switch and it hasn’t missed a beat in years. I’m sure their PoE ones would be great too.
Anyone able to provide example of accuracy of the AI enabled cameras?
Look at video in post 22 by the hookup, reolink, unifi and blue iris comparison.
My story is that I’m currently thinking that buying a reolink complete package suites me best, 24/7 video recording and AI detection.
If there is anything I want to investigate a day or so back in time, I can go in the nvr and find out. Because not all motion is detected as people or cars, and sometimes animals for instance would be interesting to watch. I have a lot of deers walking in my garden for instance.
I think that for 500$ (or was it 700? Amazon knows) the reolink nvr and 4 810-a reolink cameras is the best option.
New recommendation from The Hookup;
The better way to go (still in line with this video) is to get the 4K version of the Hikvision ColorVu turret. I have them and the quality is amazing
So I finally received my relink 510A cam, connected to ethernet and power, defined an ftp to upload all recordings, but now…
I want to see what the camera sees from Lovelace.
I also want to see the recording from my NAS.
How can I do this?
Use a picture-entity card and select the camera entity. Set the camera_view: live option.
Your best chance at doing this is to add the NAS in an iframe card.
Thanks,
But how do I add the camera to HASS? In configuration? an integration?
Couldn’t find a solution for this.
I just searched that model (sorry, I should have done that previously), it doesn’t support ONVIF so you will need to set it up as a ‘generic’ IP cam using the RTSP stream.
Actually, managed to add it with ONVIF integration, port 8000.
The problem now - the stream is not fluent and it has a delay of several seconds
It works.
Thanks
Please don’t bring discussion over politics to this community and try to keep it pristine.
Calling a discussion stupid is not keeping the community pristine, it’s simply petty. Your sensibilities are not my concern. I’m answering the question and what plays into the question is where the camera and it’s parts are manufactured.

Well it’s certainly better than bringing personal political view to to a thread discussing “camera models” in a “technical” forum. Go to Reddit, pls.
Again, no it’s not. It’s relevant to the decision making process. Good grief don’t be so obtuse and touchy.
I would think it goes against your supposed desire to keep things “pristine” (whatever that means in terms of a discussion…) by coming here 13 days after the last post and 2 months after the post you thought was “offensive” just to berate that member for voicing their opinion on why they chose the hardware they did while literally offering nothing to contribute to the discussion on the topic of the thread.

Not a native English speaker here, so pristine might not be the best word to use. But I’m tired of seeing people spreading their political view in a totally inappropriate place(and I pretty enjoyed this community before). If someone wants to review a camera, sure please. List their pros and cons, if it’s worth the price, etc. In the case above, I can’t even remotely understand how CCP is related to the camera or its manufacture.
As to how I found this ticket, there’s a feature called search.
I’m not gonna follow this thread anymore as it’s going towards a rabbit hole.
But I do apology for using the word stupid.
Because the CCP is the manufacturer of these cameras. Both Dahua and Hikvision are state owned and are controlled by high ranking party officials. You’re dealing with a ruthless totalitarian surveillance state that has a well established track record of using its exported technology to spy on individuals and companies. If you buy these cameras there’s a chance a CCP official may be able to access it through a backdoor, unless you taking appropriate steps to lock them out. So while these cameras are good and cheap (subsidized), they come with a caveat that is important to know if you care about privacy and is part of the purchase decision.
