ᐅ Wireless/WiFi Video Doorbell Camera (Battery-Powered)

Hello everyone,

I would like to install a video camera at our front door to see who is outside. However, there is no power supply there, only the usual "doorbell wire" that currently connects the doorbell.

What I’m looking for is a simple battery-powered camera (with a monitor included for wireless transmission) that can be triggered via radio signal or WiFi so it turns on and lets you see who is at the door.

I’ve already searched online but haven’t found anything suitable.
Alternatively, it might be possible to replace our current doorbell with another system, but it would need to run on the power provided through the doorbell wiring.

Any tips or advice would be greatly appreciated.

Best regards,
Sebastian

How about the Netatmo Presence? We installed it, it works perfectly, and it can distinguish between people, vehicles, animals, and other movements. It also functions as a floodlight, and everything is sent directly to your phone.

There are already providers available (such as Ring with their "Video Doorbell 2"). Unfortunately, I don’t know of any that don’t send the data to China and back first... I suspect that the Netatmo mentioned above does the same.

Thanks for the tips.
I will continue to look into it. Maybe I can still install a conduit...

Hello,
I had the same issue. I decided to go with the Reolink 2.
The camera is triggered by a very reliable PIR motion sensor and even records when an SD card is inserted. Additionally, the system has a very good microphone and a speaker. The camera comes with a battery that is supposed to last quite a long time. I use the Reolink solar panel for power supply. By now, I have five cameras of this model in operation and am very satisfied with them.

Best regards

How child-friendly is something like this?

We’re also thinking about getting something that allows the child to see who is outside the door. So not a phone, but rather a fixed tablet or similar device that turns on automatically.
