Chaque matin, des pics-bois viennent cogner sur nos gouttières métalliques et ça fait un vacarme incroyable. Ça nous réveille et nos voisins régulièrement.

Est-ce que quelqu’un a déjà vécu ça? Qu’est-ce qui a vraiment fonctionné pour les éloigner (sans leur faire de mal)?

J’ai entendu parler des bandes réfléchissantes, des faux prédateurs, du grillage, etc., mais je ne sais pas ce qui est efficace à long terme.

Merci!

Just want to confirm: no Reolink wired doorbell works with an existing mechanical chime (not just powered by it), right? Only the battery version does?

That kinda sucks because I love Reolink but I really don't want to deal with a battery cam. Am I missing something or is that really the only option?

Hey everyone, I've been down the rabbit hole trying to find a video doorbell that checks all my boxes and I'm coming up short. Here's what I'm looking for:

Must-haves:

- No subscription / no cloud required: local recording to a microSD card is a must

- Rings my existing mechanical chime: not just powered by it, I mean it actually triggers it to ring

- Power options I can work with:

- PoE (for network connectivity) + existing doorbell wiring for power, OR

- WiFi + existing doorbell wiring for power

The chime part is what's killing me. A lot of doorbells either require you to replace your chime with their digital one, bypass it entirely, or only "support" it in a janky way that doesn't always work. I want my mechanical chime to ding-dong like it always has.

Any help would greatly appreciated! Thanks in advance!
