ᐅ Should the signal radiation be adjusted at the access points because of the Netatmo doorbell?

Hello everyone,

I’m torn between getting a Netatmo video doorbell or a Ring.

What bothers me a bit is that the Netatmo only works with Wi-Fi. I’m building a new house and would prefer to run an Ethernet cable (PoE) for it. But okay.

If I install an access point in the entrance area instead of running an Ethernet cable to the doorbell, can I adjust the coverage area? Similar to how some motion sensors or cameras allow you to set the active detection zone.

I don’t want the signal to reach the neighbor’s property but only cover about 2–3 meters (6–10 feet) westward from the entrance area toward the front door in the direction of my neighbor.

Besides that, are there users who have experience with the Netatmo doorbell? 😉

Please share if so.

Thanks a lot and greetings from the white BaWü

A LAN is useful, yes, but why even two?
Thanks

2x LAN: 1x video intercom system via PoE, 1x spare for whatever may come in the future. I might want to add an extra camera (different angle etc.) or a separate contact / opener option, etc. 😎
(for me, only the additional cost from simplex to duplex cable counts, which is almost nothing now) and better to have than to need .. 😉

But then the camera doesn’t have a different angle if it’s connected to the same physical cable. 😉

-> 2nd LAN cable of the duplex cable (spare cable) ...

Exactly. The second conductor of the duplex cable, by its very nature, terminates at the same point as the first.
