It’s on sale, through a $20 coupon applied at checkout (make sure you tick the box), when I bought it the grand total was US$105.89, now it’ll be US$100.39, so even better for you.

This unit is easy to setup, integrates into home assistant like a snap, it also has a wireless chime (US plug but 230v just use a cheap adapter) as well so it’s incredibly resilient and will work right out of the box as a basic doorbell too without any internet setup.
Most importantly no monthly subscriptions leeching money like ring etc.

Also, I have it working in HomeKit via home bridge and it’s fantastic- works as expected with video and notification.

    Note that the chime will have a US plug, but will work on 230V.

                  @stalker878: Maybe 1 or 2mm sticks out, but not enough to be an issue.

                • Prong on 28/05/2023 - 14:31

                  @stalker878: The trick is to do as much as possible of the 'bend' as a twist in the plastic housing.

                  Basically just twist from the base of the pin. Typically you get some plastic deforming, and some twist in the metal where it passes through the plastic. The part of the pin sticking out is then still flat.

                  If particularly thin plastic has been used then occasionally get too much plastic deformation and a bit of super glue where the pin passes through the plastic stops any movement.

                  Depending on the plastic, a bit of heat can help. The bush electrician way is using a lighter on the metal pin before twisting, but a heat gun is easier to avoid overdoing it. With some plastics you can get a very seamless twist.

  • BrotherEstapol on 28/05/2023 - 10:05

    Keen to get this, but I'd rather have the Aussie plug…would be hazard sticking out of the wall with an adapter for where I'd put it.

    The Aussie store never seem to have it in stock!

    • Commodore64 on 28/05/2023 - 10:17

      True but you may move on to a point you don’t need the adapter/chime if you integrate it with Alexa, Google or Apple hole hubs/pods.

      The chime is convenient because it’s easy, but now that I’ve got it setup with HomePods may no longer need it

    This is a good deal. I recently bought this from Reolink Australia directly and was delivered in 3 days for $170 after the new user discount coupon. Unless the $15 is really important, you can save yourself hassle down the track and also get local warranty and local plug. But then Amazon is good with warranty as well. Thought I might put this out there for those who would want to buy locally.

    • fluffycat on 28/05/2023 - 10:10

      Agreed - much better to get the Australian version and avoid any issues with power plugs, warranty etc.

    • Tyrx on 28/05/2023 - 10:44

      Reolink has terrible warranty and no local agent. They will force you to pay for international shipping both ways, and they don't care about Australian consumer law.

      They will also force you to pay the difference between your model and new models if your product needs replacement and isn't made anymore either. Reolink is an all round terrible company for warranty.

      Purchasing through Amazon is the much better option. Let them deal with Reolink.

      I had an RMA with this seller and they were not easy to deal with. I would advise to stick with official Reolink channels, you're more likely to get a satisfactory outcome.

  • bonechiller on 28/05/2023 - 10:22

    Actually, ignore my comment. It is not in stock at Reolink Australia. But if you leave your email there, it does notify you when it is in stock.

      My email has been there for months. That notification thing doesn't work

      • bonechiller on 28/05/2023 - 11:15

        Very strange. I received a notification a couple of weeks ago. Maybe you might wan to try another email to add redundancy.

      • boretentsu on 28/05/2023 - 17:23

        Agree, it does nothing. Ozbargain notification works at least.

  • TEER3X on 28/05/2023 - 10:30

    So I need to get Google home assistant or not needed?

    • Commodore64 on 28/05/2023 - 10:57

      It’ll work by itself with the included chime, and also with ReoLink app.
      However If you use home assistant you can create an alexa/echo service. It may require a bit of fiddling but there are good guides

      • TEER3X on 28/05/2023 - 11:16

        Thanks, hope you're keeping up with the commodore.

    Can this door bell record to a Reolink NVR? I've already got one with 4 x cameras, wondering if you can plug in the POE directly in to the NVR?

    EDIT: Looks like it can!

    • Commodore64 on 28/05/2023 - 10:55
      +2

      It’s RTSP, since frigate will work I’m certain reolink will.
      It’s a first class camera disguised as a doorbell

    • Batou on 29/05/2023 - 08:00

      I had my Reolink NVR set to auto update. When I recently installed this POE doorbell, the NVR did not add it like a doorbell. Certain features were missing, like light control at night time.
      Reading online, I eventually discovered that there was an update file on the Reolink website. Installing it manually fixed the issue and the POE doorbell works great now with my NVR.
      This was a little time consuming to figure out, as it was not clear what features were missing, though it always felt like it was not quite right.

      • R1ngSt1nger on 29/05/2023 - 15:47

        Were you able to plug it directly into one of the camera POE ports, or did you have to plug it into your switch and ‘point’ it to the NVRs IP?

        • Batou on 30/05/2023 - 07:48
          +1

          You can plug in directly to the NVR or via a POE switch.
          I have tried both. All my cameras and doorbell currently plug into a Juniper POE switch.

  • adam149 on 28/05/2023 - 10:40

    Does this work well with HA and frigate?

    • Commodore64 on 28/05/2023 - 10:54

      Yes I have this exact setup, add the reolink integration and you get camera and binary sensor for visitor. (Thus HomeKit)
      I’ve got the RTSP stream plugged into frigate too, since it’s reolink, it’s a camera disguised as a doorbell which means it handles continuous streaming fantastically.

      • bonechiller on 28/05/2023 - 11:08

        I can also confirm that this works with both Home Assistant as well as Frigate.

      • adam149 on 28/05/2023 - 11:10

        Thanks team. Ordered. Has to be the cheapest Poe doorbell I've seen.

    • theangryman on 28/05/2023 - 11:12

      I have it working well. For it to work with HA you need to expose HA using http for the button to work. Https does not work.

    • JointyJay on 28/05/2023 - 12:21

      Working for me with Frigate a HA. 2 way talk should be supported in the next Frigate version that has the latest go2rtc

    • boretentsu on 28/05/2023 - 17:24

      Yes, frigate object detection is way more reliable than reolinks default person detection.

  • theangryman on 28/05/2023 - 11:09

    "Integrated with home assistant in a snap" might be true. Fully functioning without a lot of effort it is not.

      This is true, however some may feel more comfortable buying from Amazon even US, considering their customer support when things go wrong.
      Do not have any experience with that seller and others have attested that ReoLink’s AU warranty support is basically non existent

  • kei on 28/05/2023 - 11:39

    Isn't it risky to have POE as a doorbell? someone can get access to your home network by just removing the doorbell and hooking device to the network cable?

    • s3n on 28/05/2023 - 11:40

      Yes you need to set up your VLANS / device isolation correctly otherwise they can

        Seems like not for the average person to know, I wonder if the instructions on install also guides a normal person how to secure this POE network device.

        • Commodore64 on 28/05/2023 - 12:49

          I put my cameras on a VLAN.

    • theangryman on 28/05/2023 - 12:48

      It's more secure than a wireless or battery powered device.

      • Prong on 28/05/2023 - 14:22

        How so? Even if the wireless network password could be extracted, the wireless network should be on its on VLAN, just like if using POE.

        • theangryman on 28/05/2023 - 17:17

          The point of a camera is to be available 24/7 especially when there’s an incident. Wireless transmissions can easily be disrupted. Just Google wireless jammer. This obviously has no impact on a hardwired camera.

          • Prong on 28/05/2023 - 17:41

            @theangryman: Sure, but that's a separate consideration to the network security issue raised by kei.

      Short answer yes but DIY.
      It’s 2 way you may need a home assistant or use the ReoLink app

  • tanzy on 29/05/2023 - 16:21

    Trying to find an answer but have had no luck so far. If I don't want to hook this up to an NVR I can buy the wifi version and still access it via the app? But can I power it via POE with an injector or is POE only available on the POE model?

    Thanks guys

    • Commodore64 on 29/05/2023 - 16:59

      I’m no sure if passive injectors work.
      NVR is optional and it takes an SD card.

      If you want Poe buy the poe otherwise use WIFI/DC

      You can also use motion eye or frigate software NVR for free.

    • FobMan on 30/05/2023 - 17:34

      Yes you can access via the app.

      The wifi versions POE is only for data transmission(wifi not used) and still needs power through 12/24v cable.
