    YooSee SD-M5 doorbell: 1080p, PoE, RTSP, Onvif, only $66

    Thanks. Some compression artefacts but not bad imho. That will be interesting. I kinda expect it to perform much worse, even if the manufacturer of the sensor inside this product claims 'excellent low light sensitivity' but I'm hoping to be pleasantly surprised. In my case there will be a...

    That's great. You don't mention image quality so I'm guessing it wasn't out of focus like Cinnman's originally?

    Is there a standalone BVR viewer?

    According to this you can in fact use VLC to play bvr files: The key bit is the command line option --demux h264: vlc --demux h264

    @vandyman ordered one on July 28 along with the chime but he hasn't posted back yet. I hope we'll hear from him soon but your experience alone has me thinking I will order one myself.

    Just for your information: the second in-focus clip you posted is only 1280x720 instead of 1920x1080 like the first. Also, it seems BI has built-in fish-eye de-warping (not live, playback of recordings only): Blue Iris: Fisheye dewarping / panoramic / PTZ ?

    Awesome! The difference is night and day. It would be good enough for my purposes, at least in daylight. Really good. If you get the time some dusk/dawn/nighttime footage would be nice to see. Yep, link works fine. FWIW I haven't been able to get video embedded either. Good thing they only...

    Hi Cinnman, That does look pretty bad. I'm no expert but I'd say it's simply optically out of focus. Would love to know what others think. If you are up to it, you could perhaps try opening it up and see if you can adjust the focus manually. The lens should normally be on a thread allowing it...

    I hope you don't but I get it if you do. Could perhaps be the upscaling that BI must be doing if you watch it fullscreen, that could cause a bit of fuzziness depending on what algorithm it uses for that. It would be interesting to see the original stream in it's original, native 1920x1080...

    Thanks for the update, good to know it works wit BI. As Ford said details about how to get it work in BI would be useful, as would an example of the image quality. Please check if there is a protective film on the lens that needs to be removed. Even a cheap device like this should be able to...

    I work under the assumption that any IoT device is either nefarious or full of exploitable security leaks, again regardless of brand. I'll do my very best to isolate them, fully realizing that it's impossible to reduce risk to zero. I don't see any reason to treat this device any different from...

    Perhaps you're looking at a low-res stream instead of the full HD stream. I bet the Android app would use the low-res stream to save bandwidth on your mobile connection, its main purpose would indeed to 'take a quick look'.

    Because it's the cam viewer of choice for many here? If you don't allow the cam to connect to the internet itself, if you don't make it accessible from the internet (no port forwarding) and put it on a separate VLAN, talking only to BI, does it really matter You should do all those things with...

    I've never used BI myself yet (plan on getting it along with a bunch of cameras when our new home is finished) but does BI even support automatic discovery of cameras? It seems that IPCentcam does but if BI doesn't you would need to manually add the camera to BI. This seems like a good write up...

    You might want to check if there's a firmware update. According to the specs page it's supposed to be Onvif 2.5. Your screenshot mentions Onvif 2.0. Or this could just be typical of low budget stuff. Hope you can get it to work with BI. I'm also sure that many here would love to see some...

    Here are the screenshots you added to the Media gallery: Basically you just need to view these in the Media gallery in full size and then right click the image and select something like 'Copy image location' or whatever it's called in your browser of choice. Then in your post you can...

    In what sense? I Googled and searched the forum but couldn't find much, except for a problem with a PTZ camera having the controls mirrored and security issues with the YooSee app and the Gwell cloud infrastructure in general. At least it's not their first attempt at a doorbell, they also have...

    Good, I'm pretty sure this is a very different product then since many of the specs are different. In general of course it's true that great specs on paper don't mean anything: image quality could suck, build quality and longevity could suck, firmware could suck even more etc. I hope @vandyman...

    Yeah, it doesn't look like it's vandal proof or anything. Good thing it's not expensive. I suppose you could make a metal enclosure if you want to deter someone from stealing it. I'm still waiting for the building of our new home to be completed before I can begin installing camera's but I do...
