New Reolink Wired POE Doorbell Cam ?

[Jim_OS]

The Reolink Wi-Fi Doorbell I purchased on eBay should arrive this week

I have the original v1

FWIW, both my V1's

It just arrived and it's version V2.

Hardware: DB_566128M5MP_W
Firmware: v3.0.0.4662_2503122270
Config Version: v3.0.0.0

I don't know exactly what was "refurbished" about it, because everything, including the accessories, was still in its original packaging/sealed, and there are no signs of wear on the casing. I think this eBay sale is more of a clearance sale of new stock, since there's already a "battery" model, and the other new doorbells were also mentioned/presented at this year's CES.

I think for €63.19 it was a pretty good buy. I won't know for sure until the doorbell is mounted outside, powered by a 24V doorbell transformer, and connected to my Wi-Fi. Everything works perfectly here at my desk, of course.



Currently, though, it's definitely too cold outside at -5 degrees Celsius to mount the doorbell.

Looks like you have good signal...

Main difference from version 1 to version 2 is they changed the frequency of the Chime. But now you can buy additional Chimes...

What frequencies? I had hoped when I bought mine I could pick it up with my 433mhz sdr, but I never did capture a ring.

Yes, a mesh client is located about 1 meter away from the desk.

Yes, and I think the Chime settings have also been added.

Lovely! I will have to fool around with my spare sdr on 915 mhz. I guess they upped the frequency to get more throughput since they have chime for different triggers now.
