Hi group, maybe this topic has been discussed before but i need some Help with my Ring system. My Setup. Ring battery doorbell, chime, iPad with Ring Software mounted on the wall. What i need: doorbell is being pushed, chime audio rings, iPad Shows direcley the live View from outside. No Push Massage, No Motion detection just a Clean camera on/ off two way audio… The Ring Helpcenter told me that this is not possible. It maks me so angry that they can not programm something so simple. If that does not work i will send the Ring Back and give a Bad Review. Thanks for the Help.
Live video maybe possible but 2way is not.
Look at Reolink. They have nice models but I hear problems with video stream can be pain
Dauhua VTO is most open and Amcrest may be OK.
I confirm for dahua. I have two dahua doorbells and what you ask works perfectly. For this to work doorbell must be connected to HA and “button pushed” binary sensor must exist in HA. With that i use browser mod’s navigate to change dashboard to live stream (found via dahua integration).
While you could perhaps get live stream in HA via onvif integration binary sensor is a problem if HA doesn’t find your doorbell directly.
Also - as said, two way audio is not possible. It “kinda” is, some guys supposely did it, but it requires a lot od tinkering, setting up SIP server etc… too much for me. As you, i only need “ding-dong” and picture, then i go and open the door.
Ok. Thanks for thé help. I will pack up thé ring System and send that Wannebe doorbell back to Amazon.
