A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.

Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

They’re affordable and ubiquitous, but homeowners shouldn’t be able to act as vigilantes.

Reading only the headline I assumed "not recommended because of the invasive Amazon tracking", instead it was "because some owners become vigilantes"...

I am searching also for a camera but I'm not finding it, can someone help me?

What it must be:

  1. Not battery powered

  2. 100% offline

  3. No cloud support at all

  4. No subscription

  5. To replace the door peephole

  6. Onvif support or similar so I can use a generic NVR in my own network for recording

  7. A screen on the inside of the door so I can see who's outside (because now the door peephole is replaced by the camera)

Seems impossible to find

I’m looking at Ubiquiti’s UniFi doorbell. It’s not cheap, nor really intended for home installation (it’s more like office grade stuff), but I already use their networking kit and run their software.

nice, main drawback is the price (and that's not in stock in my country)
