The grandstream one is not as slick looking but I have yet to find any solution with a keypad that is narrower.
Not to mention the price difference! at around $900+ for the doorbird with integrated keypad and you still need an IP based device for it to communicate with like the grandstream handset with 7inch screen or Tablet unless you only want mobile only.
If they come out with a more narrow unit I will definitely pull the trigger.
Perhaps I'm not understanding this part or you're referring to the Grandstream in which I'm not as familiar with.
With the DoorBird you aren't required to have any dedicated video screen you can use a lot of devices and your mobile if you want and they are ONVIF compatible.
Grandstream also does not require a dedicated screen. You can use mobile. Though I have rarely seen a commercial grade doorbell like the Doorbell units that do not have a dedicated screen. And yes the fact that Doorbird is ONVIF compatible is awesome!
I just loathe the prices that are being talked about simply for a doorbell. spending anything above £50 is not worth it over the benefit of a conventional doorbell.
Unless of course, you have a mansion and automatic gates to let in the peasants
If you still have a ST hub, until HE gets Ring integration, I would think you'd be able to link Ring to ST, link the ST and HE hubs together, and access the Ring devices indirectly through that? Actually a new HE owner, converting quickly after buying a ST hub. I knew that Ring was at least partially supported in ST, so the plan for me was to either stay with ST if I liked it, or buy HE and try to link them together for devices the HE didn't support but the ST did.
If you are mad that Hubitat isn't a Ring partner then you should be mad at Amazon and anything related to them aka Alexa. Ring isn't accepting any new partners. Period. Heard from an inside source the Ring partners page goes no where. It is lip service only or was an initiative for plans prior to the Amazon purchase of Ring.
I think that's pretty obvious now especially since the partners page is... gone.
@cstory777 how do you like your cameras?
I have Ubiquiti Unifi network but still using old Costco AvertX cameras and NVR system which I think are terrible for the price.
Thinking of upgrading to a UniFi Cloud Key Gen2 Plus and g4-pro cameras.
I love the cameras. Mine are all G3's mix of dome, bullet and flex and one G4 bullet. I had the cloud key gen 2, great product, but recently upgraded to their UDM Pro which has the NVR built in.
I like the CK Gen 2, terrified of the UDM Pro. I've been down the unified device railroad entirely too many times. I'm running an Edgerouter Lite (ER3) and 3 AC hotspots and the CloudKey -- Just added a bunch of their switches (5 x Flex Minis and 3 x US-8's) gradually replacing my dumb switches.
Love their stuff. Not looking forward to the WiFi-6 transition though...going to be expensive to replace my Hot Spots!
