I want to keep my existing mechanical chime working with my new Reolink Gen 2 video doorbell wired and recording 24/7, and it looks like I need a RLA-PK1 power kit to do that. The only problem is it doesn't seem like you can actually buy those anywhere.
This cheaper kit from Ring seems to have a similar looking device. Has anyone tried to use it instead?
I have the RLC-840A, and I can't seem to figure out how to get rid of the infrared light reflections in the dome. I've cleaned the dome inside and out. Does anyone else have this issue?
Hello. I would like to set a hidden camera at the entrance of the property to catch license plates of the vehicles entering the driveway. I will have to run poe cable to the entrance but I am uncertain about the best camera model for the job. I am thinking about hiding it inside a birdhouse and pointing it toward the property . Any recommendations are greatly appreciated.

Hi I did check Reolink website and googling around but can not see any updates on any upcoming Reolink 4K Doorbell cameras.
Tapo recently released their 4K doorbell camera, id imagine eufy will do so soon but has there been any rumours or word from Reolink 4K/POE doorbell cameras?
I was looking to get a camera system and was flabbergasted by the prices being 700+. I'm not in an immediate need for them so I was wondering; are they always priced like that or with everything being expensive recently they are also ? I don't mind waiting a bit until prices go down a little. I just want an NVR system and a few cameras around (4 is more than enough).
Edit: My question is not about Reolink I know they are cheaper than other companies I'm asking generally.
Hi, I'm Alfredo, a master's student in Digital Humanities at the University of Pisa. For my thesis, I've put together a short survey to gather information on how we use (or avoid) artificial intelligence tools to manage our smart homes, and how much we trust their answers. The survey is for anyone with a smart home, including people who have never used AI: understanding why some prefer to do without it is just as useful.
Responses are anonymous and it takes about 10 minutes to complete. Once data collection is over, I'll share the results here, with the trends that emerged on how we use these tools to manage our homes.
You can fill it in here:

Thank you so much for your help!
Yes I've googled and tried to find a solution. No there is no push notification interval setting.
My kids going outside and walking on the walkway for a couple minutes leads to a flood of notifications. I should get one and that's it.
Any idea how to fix?
I'm regretting replacing my Nest camera with this
Edit: it seems the battery mode has more settings. But I'm running in wired mode and lose a lot of settings here.
Just an FYI so that it's documented somewhere... I've been running a battery drain test on the 2nd Gen Battery Doorbell since July 12th just so I could see how long it lasts in real world tests.
That test is now finished and it ended up being almost 3 months. 11 weeks and 5 days to be exact.
This was run with it connected to Home Assistant (though a Home Hub), and I'd estimate it averaged somewhere between 5-10 recordings per day.
If I can get my hands on one of the solar charging bases my next test is going to be seeing how well that can keep it charged.
Just hooked up my PoE doorbell camera which captures my front door, driveway, and some of the street/sidewalk. I don't care about recording 24/7. Just using to detect who is at the door and on my driveway. Don't care about people passing by at the sidewalk unless they get close to my house, nor vehicles passing by.
Is there a size that people recommend I get for the microSD for my use case?
Hello Folks,
I have 2 new Atlas PT ultra cameras. I have integrated them with HA using the latest HA version.
All the entities are exposed however, the detection sensors are not working in HA. They are working fine in the camera and the app. I checked GitHub and it looks like I need a beta firmware for the device to enable this in HA.
I checked with the support and senior support team. They are claiming that the device does not work with HA (which clearly is wrong since the latest HA version supports it) and there is no beta firmware available.
So if you guys have the firmware or know how to get it from them please let me know.
