Dear members,

Recently I've installed my new BLGW and connected it with my NL-products and my KNX-system for lights. What a terrific system. I created some macro's and everything works like a charm.

Now I want to purchase a video-doorbell. I've looked at brands like Ring, Doorbird and Skybell HD.

I want to integrate the doorbel in the BLGW and my KNX-system.

Do you have any experience in a video doorbell? With the Home Control on my BV, I would like to see when someone is at the door? 

Any recommendations and advice before purchasing a bell?

 

Thanks in advance, BeoHut

Looking at the same, doorbird. I have no room so it will be not the build in version, which is a lot nicer.

If it runs through its own app you do not need to log in on the BLGW but it only triggers an action if you want?

Can I at least have a picture through the doorbird on my webbrowser of the BLGW app? Please can anyone confirm, I have emailed beocare but I do not seem to get any answers.

So I cannot talk into the the BLGW app or open a door, it is all being done by the doorbird app?

Pff it is getting more annoying by the day, still no camera”s on the webbrowser, on the ML side it is pretty thin the app is not really nice and for the core”s I use the white beolink app, much easier.

Today I integrated my camera’s on an Amazon spot, I just ask Alexa show camera driveway and pop I have a picture, really nice. I am thinking of breaking up some walls and build in some echo show in the walls, you can ask anything and have a picture with it as well. The downside of being such a big thing is gone when you put it in the wall😐.

That’s right. I use the motion trigger to send the home control command and show the camera on screen on my televisions.

Yes... that’s no problem. Do it every day.

Correct. Must use DoorBird to talk

You can use blgw to trigger the door open assuming your lock is compatible.

Tx mjmedlo! The dealbreaker was the camera on the webbrowser, glad it works, I will give it a go.

Ok ordered it, now I want my Jacob Jensen doorbell in as well.

https://www.manualslib.com/products/Jacob-Jensen-Doorbell-Ii-4223312.html

I have a Vera system, basicly a raspberry pi with a bad interface and a rftrx connected to it to run RF signals through my BLGW. This gives me more flexiblity on any products through the BLGW.

I cannot detect any frequentie on the Jacob Jensen has anyone got an idea on which frequentie it runs or better which do I need to activate to detect the signal? I have tried but I can only power up the lights by the neighbours 😕 on 433Mhz with auto detection

http://www.rfxcom.com/WebRoot/StoreNL2/Shops/78165469/MediaGallery/Downloads/RFXtrx_User_Guide.pdf

Idea is to trigger the doorbell in parallel with the doorbird which comes... Today!😁

Thanks for your replies I really love the design of Jacob Jensen, so early days.

For the records on Doorbird use the following streams

rtsp://user:pass@192.168.1.X/mpeg/media.amp

http://192.168.1.x/bha-api/image.cgi

http://192.168.1.x/bha-api/video.cgi

On the webbrowser it works.... sort of

They should really sort this at Streur, I have a touchscreen full HD showing the best picture ever, even VLC streams flawlessly for, yes, free. Playing anything you through at it. The doorbird it self is really a great product, it shows on my recorder of Hikvision, plays through the app I 4500 on phone and tablet together with my other camera's.

Hope it helps people to integrate there camera's

I use doorbell press as a trigger to turn on home control and this I see the person on my television, if active.

I will be installing the modular door bird system at the gates...

I want the same to happen - trigger to turn on home control on NL tv if active. How does the BLGW recognise if any TV’s are active?...

Got the same problem Kiran, I do not need picture but wanted to activate bs cores through the house, but how do I get them on the same station after a buzz or a song, it will be annoying.

On ML system you can program A VLC on an Apple tv, tested it and it works however takes to much time.

I have setup my camera”s with alexa through monocle skill. it means you can have a picture in every room with a Alexa spot. I am not ready to let it pop up when the door rings however if I ask alexa show driveway or backyard 1 /2/3 etc poef there she shows it on the spot.😁

Grappig hoor
