Reolink WIFI Doorbell Jam Proof Setup - Adding Ethernet to your Doorbell Wiring

Рет қаралды 62,778

Күн бұрын

Today, I'm going to share my experience in wiring my Reolink WIFI doorbell with a network ethernet cable to have a more solid and wired connection and making it WIFI jam proof. Adding an additional CAT5E or CAT 6 cabling to your existing doorbell wiring needs a bit of planning and will depending on your current setup. I was just lucky that my wiring is not staples on to the studs but still needs work to pull new wiring in to the attic.

Now if I connect the doorbell outside of the NVR to my switch, those options appear. Am I missing something? Great video thanks.

I thought about replacing the existing doorbell wire as it’s very short/no slack at the doorbell. That quickly was denied due to the very small space to work with near the top plate, mounds of blowin insulation, and it’s also (I think) sealed at the top plate with foam. Basically, it wasn’t as simple as shown in this video for my house unfortunately

Hi LifeeHackster! Thanks again for your detail videos. It's funny why reolink decided to make 2 version of this doorbell, now I am struggling trying to decide POE or the WIFI version. I guess you are the only very few reviewer happened to have them both physically. I wish you can do a POE vs Wifi version comparison since hardly anyone will have both version at the same time. I was leaning towards the POE version initially, but figured POE only benefit if you can't get a LAN cable there, but for my case, I have the flexibility for both. My concern is always on which has the fastest notification speed, 2 way-talk speed, low latency, accuracy, performance and of course local storage and no subscription. Hate Ring, Nest or Wyze since I tested all of them... Been using Nest hello for a long time, subscription keep going up and up!!! Time for change... To me, Wifi version just seem to have a little more advantage since I can easily test the WIFI version first, if not stable, then just use POE injector and do the exact setup like you. Anyways, I'll love to see (Reolink POE vs Wifi version) or (Reolink vs AD410) side-by-side comparison if possibly. Amcrest or Reolink are the type of doorbells for people like us who wants all the possibly controls and local storage... I really wonder if Reolink POE can perform better than the Wifi version if using 24v power adapter with RJ45 connector simultaneously(your setup). Because POE wouldn't have as much voltage available for the camera... You are probably the only one who can "easily" do that..... but with another additional Rj45 cable.... lol... Thank you for the hard work, fishing wire via that brick wall is no easy task, but I would suggest you fish another LAN cable since you do lots of doorbell reviews. I believed more and more POE cameras will be on the way, soon or later you probably need 1 or more cables for direct comparison.

@LifeHackster 7 ай бұрын

I have the PoE version but haven't setup or installed it yet. I think there will be no difference between the PoE and the WIFI (plugged into network) as to performance. Plugged in will always be better than WIFI. Will see if I can test and compare in the future..but if you have the cable, just go with WIFI but plugged in as long as you have the doorbell wires to power up the doorbell separately.

@sickegg2000 7 ай бұрын

@@LifeHackster I don't have the Rj45 setup yet, only the 24v. It's easy access for me to add later. I'll probably try out the Wifi version and see if it's a keeper.

@curtisbme Жыл бұрын

That wiring is low voltage and this is a low bandwidth device so it isn't going to affect anything. Also, with Ethernet, you aren't going to see interference like it is an analog signal. Running alongside mains has the possibility of interfering with signal on an unshielded cable but in general you would not notice anything unless you are doing something that is requires max bandwidth (like saturating 1-10gbit) and/or min latency.

I use the PoE version and also have the 433Mhz wireless transmitter connected to the doorbell chime wiring so that when the reolink doorbell is pressed, the wireless signal also triggers my old school transformer chime along with the supplied plug-in wireless chime.
