    Dahua vs hikvision doorbell

    For me this is not important, for others it is important. At night the Dahua switch the IR light when someone is ringing. Quality is quite good in this case. No as explained you can use an external SIP server (Asterisk or Fritz!Box for instance), but I personally prefer to use the Dahua SIP...

    Dahua vs hikvision doorbell

    You need an appropriate router: I have a Fritz!Box which have a SIP client and a DECT server. The SIP client is subscribed to the Dahua SIP Server and the landline phone (DECT) are subscribed to the Fritz!Box. No issue with the app DMSS in iOS. The app is often updated and sometimes after...

    Dahua vs hikvision doorbell

    Regarding Dahua: There was an interesting comparison regarding image quality here: IP Video Intercoms I have the Outdoor station and it can work perfectly well without an Indoor monitor. You can also change the ring tone (using some kind of workaround). The Outdoor station has a SIP server and...

    A bit confused on a doorbell

    I think the latest Dahua doorbell fulfills all your requirements (VTO2202F-P). Even the smart phone app (DMSS) works correctly, but you can use Home Assistant if you don't like the interface.

    Review-IP Villa Outdoor Doorbell Station & Indoor Monitor Kit

    I would like to use the VTO 4202F to open/lock the door. As the VTO is already receiving the power supply from PoE, is it possible to use the same power source to power the electric lock ? Perhaps I can use some kind of splitter to use the power from PoE or directly use an output port from the...

    Review-IP Villa Outdoor Doorbell Station & Indoor Monitor Kit

    I would like to replace my Siedle Vario intercom by this Dahua VTO. Currently the Siedle intercom is triggering several physical door chimes when someone is ringing. Is is possible to use this Dahua VTO through PoE and at the same time triggering the physical door chimes ? It seems that I have...

    Dahua VTH5222CH-S1 (2-wire-Inside monitor) and VTO4202F-P (Modular door station) connection issues

    Huurra ! ;-) Please also tell me how to change the VTO to German. I haven't looked into this.

    Dahua VTH5222CH-S1 (2-wire-Inside monitor) and VTO4202F-P (Modular door station) connection issues

    I really need to write a complete tutorial about this topic. But here is how I did each step with debugging tools (to make sure that each step is correct). Pre-requisites: Dahua firmware update tool VDPConfig access to your router Dahua-DHIP-JSON-Debug-Console.py wireshark 1) Start with a...

    Review-IP Villa Outdoor Doorbell Station & Indoor Monitor Kit

    I used the VTO with the VTH and managed to register my router SIP server to the VTO SIP Server. That way when someone is ringing, it also makes all my phones ring at the same time (and the VTH or any phone can answer the call)

    Dahua VTH5222CH-S1 (2-wire-Inside monitor) and VTO4202F-P (Modular door station) connection issues

    I have almost the same setup and ran into the same issues. What really helped me was to use the script Dahua-DHIP-JSON-Debug-Console.py and to learn to use wireshark. That way you have all the tools you need to know exactly what is happening and debug yourself. If you are in Germany, you can...

    Review-IP Villa Outdoor Doorbell Station & Indoor Monitor Kit

    And it works. I chose 9901 everywhere (on VTO and VTH) AND I chose 9901 on the VTO facade layout (didn't know that you could choose something there). Finally... It was a challenge !

    Review-IP Villa Outdoor Doorbell Station & Indoor Monitor Kit

    Interesting; When I call the VTO from the VTH, I can see in the log of the VTO, that 9901 was calling. But if I go to the status of the VTO "Household settings", I can see that 9901#0 is online but 9901 is offline. What a mess...

    Review-IP Villa Outdoor Doorbell Station & Indoor Monitor Kit

    Ok I trigger a factory reset for both unit and now they are linked ! I can monitor the VTO from the VTH or call the VTO from the VTH (number 8001). However I still cannot call the VTH from the VTO: "The number you dialed does not exist" Both configuration have however 9901#0 as room number...

    No thanks ;-) I will try with this one first. Perhaps I'll try a factory reset of both VTO and VTH to see what is happening,

    Thanks to your post, I didn't upgrade the language bin. That probably saved me. I changed several times between 9901#0 and 9901, no improvement

    Review-IP Villa Outdoor Doorbell Station & Indoor Monitor Kit

    Hello, I ordered the VTO4202F-P and VTH2421FW-P. They got the same firmware as @Holbs : VTH version is : 20191209 v4.400.0000000.7.R VTO version is: 2020-02-21 V4.410.0000000.4.R Security Baseline Version: v2.0 I very quickly managed to be able to monitor the VTO from the VTH but I cannot...

    Doorbell, privacy and managed switch

    Ok @catcamstar I got it I think. I have forgotten that I have a nice Asus RT-AC68 lying around which Tomato installed on it. I think I can recycle it into a router+switch to properly isolate the doorbells/indoor station. If I remember correctly, I was able to directly enter iptables instruction...

    Doorbell, privacy and managed switch

    Hello @catcamstar, The Fritz!Box would have been capable of handling the VLAN and Firewall rules, however it has just 4 Ethernet ports, which is really not enough. I wanted to have a managed switch which could also managed VLAN and firewall rules (which port is opened, in which direction...

    Doorbell, privacy and managed switch

    Ok thanks I think I got the picture. If I understand correctly, this should do the trick: 1) Buy a managed switch and put the doorbell + indoor station on a separate VLAN 2) devices inside the VLAN can communicate with each others, but the only outbound opened port is 2195 (push notification) 3)...

    Doorbell, privacy and managed switch

    2) In the German forum, it is now found that Dahua issued a firmware with a SIP server inside. So there is no need to have Asterisk anymore. The Fritz!Box can define VLAN as well...

    Doorbell, privacy and managed switch

    Hi @catcamstar, For the moment I have not much, only my DSL-router (Fritz!Box) and you are right, I had VLAN in mind when I was talking about managed switch (I have to buy a switch anyway, as my DSL-router doesn't have enough Ethernet ports). I was thinking about isolating the doorbell/indoor...

    Doorbell, privacy and managed switch

    Hello, I just ordered a Dahua VTO4202F-X system (doorbell + indoor station) and now I need to decide about the PoE+ switch. I am a bit concerned about privacy, as I am ordering a product built in China (where Privacy is not much of a concern). Does it make sense to order a managed PoE+ switch...

    Doorbell Reliable, Open and compatible with Fritz!Box

    Hello, I think DHI-VTO2202F-P and DHI-VTO4202F-P are more or less the same behind, except that the latter is more expensive, In the links I have given, the image quality of Hikvision DS-KD8003 doesn't look so great: IP Video Intercoms In addition, it is not standalone and not ONVIF compliant...

    Doorbell Reliable, Open and compatible with Fritz!Box

    Hello, I am looking to a connected doorbell which: 1) works reliably: meaning that when someone is ringing, I should be immediately notified (especially through the mobile app) and able to see/speak clearly. 2) is open: it should interface with other systems like Blue Iris or Home Assistant 3)...
