I have had a Nest wired doorbell for over five years and am considering replacing it with a Reolink unit. My main issues with the Nest are frequent latency in person notifications and difficulty selecting images in the app.
I have a strong Wi-Fi signal and a fiber-to-the-home connection, but I don’t want a Nest subscription. I hope to wirelessly connect the Reolink unit with the Honeywell DW915xx electronic chime, which is wired to the Nest and uses Honeywell ActivLink™ on 916.8 MHz.
I’m considering the Reolink doorbell because I already have five Reolink cameras connected via PoE to a Reolink 410-8 NVR. Since the doorbell needs to be active 24/7 and my cameras/NVR are not, I’ll power the doorbell separately using the existing bell PSU.
Any advice on my plan, especially on using my Honeywell Chime with the Reolink unit, would be greatly appreciated!
