Amcrest AD410 Wireless Doorbell with RTSP and Home Assistant Integration!
I really like the look of this doorbell camera! I've been after a decent doorbell that does RTSP streaming for a while, and this one seems to tick all the boxes (especially with Home Assistant compatability)!
This is a good UK review of the doorbell: https://youtu.be/EP7-7mfr2eQ
It's a shame we can't buy it in the UK yet so looks like I'll have to wait a little longer. 😥
Question for you Ben - do you still not recommend "SmartHome" Amcrest cameras as mentioned here? https://bensoftware.com/securityspy/helpcameralist.html. Amcrest even have a guide explaining how to use it with BlueIris, so I guess it will work fine with SecuritySpy as well? https://support.amcrest.com/hc/en-us/articles/360059368951-How-To-Setup-An-Amcrest-WiFi-Doorbell-Camera-In-Blue-Iris
btw, I also really like your new forum Ben! Being able to use code blocks and images will make a huge difference! 🎉 (yay emojis too)

This does look like a nice doorbell camera. I've now modified the advice on the SecuritySpy camera list for SmartHome cameras from "avoid" to merely "beware" - after all they do work just fine with SecuritySpy when set up. The problem is that they don't offer a web interface, but rather all setup is done via the Amcrest Smart Home app, which offers only limited configuration options. So you can't adjust things that you might want to adjust, such as frame rate, compression quality, day/night settings etc.
If you decide to go for this device when available, it would be great to hear your experiences so please report back.
Glad you like the new forum! 😎

Thanks Ben for the Amcrest update, and I'll certainly feed back experiences when it is eventually released in the UK.
