Ring Video Door Bell or Hikvison Video Door bell

Featured Replies

 

Hi Guys

I would like to Purchase Video Door Bell, which will ring the Chime, it needs to record , It need to have speaker, so can have 2 way conversation, Motion Detection and Waterproof, as it will be fitted outside my Front door frame.

 

There are 5 models I have found, so I want to which is the latest model and I need to buy, so I can see on my phone and also in future I will buy CCTV System and may be connect to NVR, but this is NOT important.

 

Please can you advice what is the Difference so Pros and Cons below 5 models.

 

I know the DS-KB6403-WIP is 12 volt and will not Operate chime.

 

I know the DS-KB6003-WIP is 24volt and will Operate chime.

 

The DS-KB8112-IM is vandal proof and water proof, but this looks to bulky for residential area.

 

Ring Video Door bell 2 you have to subscribe to iCloud and you have to pay monthly or yearly subscription and the Hikvision you can use the TF SD Micro memory card.

 

I think the Hikvison will be better option in long run due to No subscription.

 

I thought I asked you guys or if you know any other good brand similar to Hikvision or RIng.

  • If they could make a Poe version or ethernet only would be better

    Why not just have a proper camera and a door bell, use an alarm input if you like. I'm amased that anyone needs this doorbell crap much less wants one. Put a camera at the proper height and don't fall

Your better off with the hik as it will connect to there other systems 

 

As a doorbell they are okish but all drop out on WiFi and have lag and all other kinds of rubbish 

 

But already the hik will chime your existing wired bell

Ive tried the hik and the ring and the cheap Chinese one found on ebay for £50.

 

Non of them worked as advertised, I still have the Chinese one, it works for my purposes, rings, records on my driods, but it doesnt call my phone (the app drains my smartphone battery far too much) . All of them have poor connection and delays when the doorbells are connected, they are nothing like the TV adverts even when you are in the house on the same WiFi connection. The motion detect alarm  goes off for no apparent reason even on the lowest setting.

Ring I think seems to fair better but the missing the relay bit , which would then put them on top I reckon , I still don't have one tho lol , probably get a Chinese version with onvif 

Best doorbell type thing I have seen was the Optex DC Series one from years ago, long discontinued. Well ahead of it's time and all this app tat.

while i think the op is working for hik marketing in some way as h hasn't noticed ill ignore it.

i like app stuff i want to see it extended into our world not left to diy nest stuff etc

Apps are the future, resistance is futile, get on the bus I say. 

Nothing is foolproof to a sufficiently talented fool.


Apps are a short sighted view of the future IMO. There's technology beyond a universal remote control.

It will be good when someone produces one of these doorbells that works like they do in the adverts. Maybe they will work better when we have 5g, but I somehow doubt it when they are useless on WiFi
